Intermittently during the past few months the press of Canada have drawn attention to the sizeable funds that were finding their way to Canada from Europe. Last week The Financial Post, Canada’s premier financial publica- tion, carried a front page story, further emphasizing this fact. It is pointed out that a larger percentage of inflow of capital is going to the purchase of Canadian common stocks and a smaller amount to the purchase of Corpora- tion Bonds and other securities. Some funds have been attracted to mining and oil securities, while other por- tions have gone into manufacturing. One illustration or the latter is the recent sale in London of British Ameri- can Oil stock amounting to $3,000,000. The Dominion Bureau of Statistics survey indicates that capital coming tothis country in 1938 was heavier than in any of the preceding five years and that the deâ€" mand was concentrated on Canadian stocks. This year the inflow of foreign capital has been further accelerated. For example, during January and February last. the net sales of Canadian securities sold to foreign sources amountâ€" ed to $28,500,000. This compares with $8,500,000 in cor- responding months of last year. Already this year, The Financial Post states, Canada has sold a net balance of securities almost as great as for the entire year of 1938. #******3 ALERTNESS TO WORLD CITIZENSHIP Perhaps the best way for any given democracy to im- prove is for each individual in it to come to a greater awareness of his own individual responsibility as a world- citizenâ€"to be keenly alert to the forces at work in his own daily experiences, to be responsive to home, business, community, national, and international responsibilities, and to see these issues in their relationship each to the other.~ A nation needs the co-operation of each individual if Wise measures are to be devised and followed, but our thinking must reach beyond the limits of nationalism. Aid- ed by the barrierâ€"breaking modes of presentâ€"day communi- cation each can gain a world-point-of-view by striving for it, not as an end in itself, but as the basis of constructive service. Individual alertness to the duty of world-citizen- ship, motivated by the idea of co-operative, constructive service, would seem, then, to offer the solution to this problem. Â¥*#*****t ISN’T IT THE TRUTH There was a man who ran a hot dog stand. His eyes and ears were giving out a little, so he didn’t own a radio or read the papers. But he made good hot dogs. He put up signs along the roads advertising his hot dogs. He stood beside the front door and said, “Mister. buy a good hot dog.” His business grew until he had to buy a bigger stove, increase his order for puns and meat, and even sent for his son to come home from College to help. Then something happened. His son said, “Father, don’t you listen to the radio? Or read the papers? We are in the midst of poor times. Europe is covered with war clouds. Business is going to pot.” His father thought, “Well my son goes to collegeâ€" he ought to know.” So he cut down his order for buns and meat, took down his signs, and no longer asked people. to buy his hot dogs. . Business fell off overnight, whereupon he said to his son, “You were right. We are in the midst of hard times.” There is a real moral in this story for the proprietors of daily papersâ€"Hudson Herald. #*******3 “GET A HOBBY” The Huntingdon Gleaner recommends that everyone should ‘Get a hobby.’ Very good advice and, at this sea- son of the year, many fascinating hobbies are suggested to our minds, provided we are looking for them. Garden- ing is, without doubt, one of the hobbies from which any individual may benefit. His health will improve, he will see the result of his efforts and hls family and friends will reap much pleasure and enjoyment from that garden. From a general garden one may specialize in particular lines. The horticulturist will grow better roses or tulips and the vegetarian will improve his asparagus bed or rows of spinach. This is one of our ideas. The Gleaner says in par : “Every human being inherits a precious gift. It is his creative power. Some people are fortunate and are able to put that creative power to work in their daily occupations. However. most people living in this indus- trial age are just working for the material gain that they obtain for their efforts. The first type of person makes a hobby of his work. The second type. and it includes the vast majority, needs a hobby to make life really inter- esting for themselves. Psychologists say, _‘Get a hobby.’ Doctors tell their patients, ‘Get a hobby.’ Common sense says ‘Get a hobby.’ If your daily work does not satisfy your creative urge get a hobby so that you may feel that you are a human being endowed with the ability to enjoy the many resources that have been so generously bestowed upon us. You cannot live by work alone. If you do not play, you lose something very important in life. If you expect to reach a ripe old age, get a hobby so that your last years in life, for which you have worked so hard, will not be boring to you. Why live and have leisure, if you cannot make that leisure in- teresting.” *$*$**** FRIENDLY EDITORS (The New Outlook) One of the discoveries made by the Church Press iBureau. according to Life and Work (Church of Scotland). has been the genuine interest taken in the church by the editors of the country weekly press, and their courteous readiness to give publicity to religious news. The same can be said of Canadian editors. The press, both in towns and cities, is generally willing to encourage every good cause by publicity whenever it has a grain of neWs in it. But it must be news, and not merely advertisement. THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL.

More and more workers in the field of child train'ng are opposing in principle separate schools. boys and girls. Chief ground for this stand is that segregation by sexes hampers ‘youngstcrs’ chances for proper so- cial adjustment in later life. While it is true that at certain stages of their pro-adolescent ago there is a natural trend of boys away from girls and girls away from boys, it mistake to deliberately erect artificial barriers. Children is a such ‘of thc aprosite sex tend to «become lsclfâ€"consc?ous awkward. Much better preparation for adult life are 'grcup activities betwecr boys and girls as encountered in coâ€"cducation- a1 schools, churches, at orchestra practice, dramatic clrbs. dancing and athletics in general. They make for legitimate and necessary per- sonal contacts, promote companion- ‘ship based on a comniunitv of in- terests, and' tend to {break down shyness and to establish ease and grace with boys'or girls. A boy who prefers his, chums and his hobbies to parties should not be forced' to assume pleasure that he does not feel, in going to dances and other festivities. Nor should a timid, awliward girl be sentenced to five or six hours of mental tor- ture, which a dance can mean ‘tO one who is sensitively aware of her failure to please. Such a girl shOuld ‘be encouraged to develop her own interests and to acquire notable skill in the things she likes bestâ€"â€" music, duamaticts, alt or whatever it is. Accomplishment brings its own reward and an'inferiority com- ,plex 1s banished by the knowledge ‘that one does excel in something. A girl who can dance superbly will acquire poise and self-confidence in mixed company. M'oney srjent for dancing lessons is well spent. The mother of a socially awkward girl or boy can do rruch to remedy the feeling of unhappiness by hav- ing company at the house, first a chum of son or daughter, then two or three good friends, slowly addâ€" ing to the number as her child learns to take responsibility for oth- ers’ good times. The hazards to be found in the association of boys andl ‘gii‘ls lie not so much in the youngsters themselves as in the social customs of the day and! lack of emotional stability they see in the adult world about them. Young people usually are pretty clear-eyed about conâ€" duct. They judge their contemporâ€" aries and their parents’ generation and they are likely to show more tolerance toward their elders than toward their classmates and, bV the same token, to fear their friend‘s’ ondemnation- more than their parents’. a nd School Failures Mrs. M. S. ‘T.: Is there any re"son why a normal child, of average abil- ity, should not graduate with his class? Loss of interest appears to the the principle cause of children’s failure to advance normally. Large classes, children of unequal ability and’ rov- erlburdened teachers are among the factors responsible. Although the average textbook 0)" today is at- tractive, it seems that some speâ€" cial enrichment of the study course is needed, if a child is to find and develop his native talents. A help- ful method is to stimulate the curi- osity inherent in every child by sur- rounding him with books of the type of The Book of Knowledge, which are so eagerly read by yOungsters {because they (present constructive educational material interestingly and which, aside from prOviding 'a background of information, anouse the intellectual appetite and deve- lop the child’s ability to think for himself.
