For this reason, I would have our papers inculcate high standards of political, business and personal morality, and denounce lapse from them. As practical mea- sures in this direction I would sug- gest: 1. That moral and ethical instruc- tion, with the object of developing character should be given greater prominence in our educational sys- tem, which at present emphasises the intelligence, with a view to materâ€" ial: advantage. 2.. That more attention should be paid, and more encouragement, given, l to the scholars endowed with more than ordinary ability, so as to de- velop their brains to the highest de- gree possible, with a View to pro- .dlucing leaders of first rate capacity â€"onr great need. At present our educational system is based on. the average pupil, with special attention paid to “the under-privileged,” while the super-privileged are given little opportunity to develop their talents, which may be of the highest use to the state. 3. The developmeth of our library system, with a view to encouraging adults to continue their education after leaving ,c‘hool. School should be the begi .ng of education, not, therenHT‘JTi-aining to read will have to begin in the schools, and should: be part of the curriculum. Thus we 33.

The organization of a highly trained, non-partisan civil service in fields of administration, and the eliâ€" mination from the civil service of the patronage system. This would do much to improve public adminâ€" istration and discourage corrupt politics. 5. An effort to raise the standard of sport, which has a distinct effect on the character of the people. This applies both to the players and to ‘ the “fans”. Commercialization has 6. A movement to restOre home life. In particular, by removing the burdensome taxation, which makes ownership of property unpOpular, and often a liability, and is driving people into apartmtnts instead of homes. 7. To preach the doctrine of con- tentment and self denial to a gen- eration bent on pleasure and covetâ€" ous of all that their neighbours have. 8. To inculcate respect for law. bc- i cause it is law. That will do for my share. If‘ you care to incorporate any of those ideas in your programme, I claim no copyright. Yours faithrfully, C. H. HALE, Editor. Orillia Packet and Times.

Wommwomoooeooo oo-c socioweooooooow: Unbelievable though it may seem. it was not until after cur return to ‘ Geneva from a short stay in Paris. that Liselotte suddenly awoke to the realities and I‘ts-sibilities of warâ€"‘1 time espionage. ‘ Miss Hill, young Claudie‘s govâ€" erness, had come back to us and lLiselotte had been automatically deâ€" moted to her former status of my personal maid. One“ more she mixed . freely with the other servants of the hotel and this time, it appears. her mind had become more recepâ€" tive to gossip and her perceptions of what was going on around her were sharpening. When she walked in upon that morning, with her grenadier's stride, ‘ I knew the signs: Liselobte had made i one of her momentous discOveries| and burned with the urge to impartl‘ the tidings to me. “Gnadige F‘r-au,” she began stern- ly, her whole attitudn one of por- tentious rebuke, “it is not fair, I think.

She just told him that Meli- met Ali Boy had twice received an Englishman from the Legationv, very secretly, in his room...” She glared at me reproachfully. I gasped. So...that was the ex- plantation! “Yes,” Liselotte continued warm-, ing up to her subject, “packets of money they are all making.” I did not try to argue. There was no argument possible with Liselottc. But I consulted Charles, her fiance} and asked his advice. i He shnnigigcd his shoulders. “Que voulezâ€"vous, Madame,” he said. “She is so s+upid, la pauvrre fille, that it is a waste of time to explain things : SE MJMMLUJ i $0MMOO WOOOWQMOO 966¢°000 MN I L < Liberal. r. mfioh m1 7“ n to fi’n‘f Yifl A‘i‘i Tout/{117’ fifl it m Winter Business. 7" WW l r m YOUR HOME We”me HOME PAPER LET US HELP you to plan your adver- tising.

Charles was probably right, I told myself. But there were more pressing matters or. hand and the question of Lise- lotte’s spying possibilities could not be taken seriously. True. she came to me once and flourished a brand new hundred franc bill. her homelty face wreath- cd in smiles. “Flrom the French gentleman in No. 432, gnadige Frau,” she boast- ed, “he wanted to know where you go ever Friday afternoon and as I do not know I told him that is the day when you take a walk in Dalâ€" holzli forest, very secretly, with the German rinistor. He was very pleased. and he said that I am a bright girl." “0h. Liselotte, how can you tell such. lies," I groanea. “What do you moan, lies?" she demanded truculcntly. “Is it that die Spionen tell the truth? Why, Hans himself told me that when he docs not know a thing, he invents lit, and he is paid for it, too." It was probably one of my on- for I embarked guard-ed 1r omcnl s. eXpl-anntion forthwith into a long I on the workings of counter-espion- age and ncws gathering. My mo- tives were pure; I couched my lec- ture in the simplified phraseology which Liselott-e understood b'st and made of the dark trade a picture which, I hoped fervently, would put her off it once for all. . She listtned patiently, repeating some of my words under her breath, 'her brow creased and her small eyes intent. She nodded knowingly. “Ach, now I see,” she breathed and left me abruptly. It was the precise moment when “Separate Peace at Any Price" was in the air. It. was like an epidemic; one by one, German’s lesser allies were abandoning the sinking ship. This one was trying desperately to d â€"â€" that one France contact Englan â€"â€" the other worked underground through the good offices of everâ€" wi'lling neutral states. In spite of the advantage to the cause I load made my own, there was something sickening about the wholesale beâ€" trayal and it was in complete sin- cerity that I could condemn the var- ious defections, when discussing them with my German friends. So real. was my disgust that I refused point bland to having anything to do with. the many. intrigues of the kind which are taking place on Swiss soil. And so it happened that I really did not know anything about a cerâ€" tain “separate peace” intrigue be- tween a Balkan state and the Allies ','â€"01‘ at least I did not learn about .it until the farce had been placed! to the complete d‘iscomfiture of all parties concerned. It was a German friend who told me of it first. Had I heard of th: sccret meetings of some Balkan de- legates and foreign office men from London in that little villa in the middle of Bremgarten Forest, Reich- enbach side? Quite a lark, really! The meetings had gone on for some time, undisturbed. Then, the French had been. invited to participate... Then, last night, who turned up sud- denlly at the final meetingâ€"like a skeleton at the fleast â€"â€" but von Grauman himself! “Tableau! Can you imagine it?" my friend laughed delightedly. “Here were all the good, wise gentlemen, discussing the deal and haggling over the bl-cod money; rcpl;esenta- tiyes of our dear Balkan allies, and , the gentlemen from Whitehall, and those from the Quai dI’Onsay, all as pally as you wish, sitting around the table, burning the midnight oil in that charming, syl'van retreat. Then, suddenly, the curtains over the French windows parted and von Grauman stood there, very correct, you know, evening dress and Iron Cross and monocle in his eye and he said, in that inimitable drawling voice of his, in Ftrench “Messieurs â€"â€"shouldn’t I too, have been invited , here, under my very l ye. . .Saptristi." l “Gnadige Frau,” she said finally.
