mineral areas of British Columbia are
also being opened up. Everywhere fac
tories are working to their capacity and
many of them are increasing their ca
pacity. The tendency is for employers
to look for men and not men to look for
employers. Her cities show quite as
marked an Improvement in the last one
hundred years as even the most pro-
gressive cities in the United States;
some Of them being models of all that
a city should be in architecture and
municipal management.
Canada is thus rapidly reaching a
condition of mind that, even from the
material standpoint of goods and chat
tells, is not likely to confirm clever but
misleading pictures or wordy but
worthless perorations. Then, too, those
who have clung to the idea that she
must come our way overlook this fact,
that while she is held to the mother
country by the lightest possible ties, in
which, owing to the lesson we gave
England, taxation does not figure at
all; yet there is q sentiment of unques-
tionable love to the mother country on
the part of a large proportion of the
population, many of the French Cana
dians even sharing in it. 1t is true,
some of the younger Canadian men
grow restless at the idea that if their
coast is threatened England must de-
fend it or that If war goes on within
their borders England must manage
the matter; yet these same leaders
among the young thinkers have no idea
of simply escaping the leading strings
of the mother in order to perform po-
litical marriage with ourselves Every
day sees that become a remoter possi-
bility, and every day sees an increase
in Canada's internal strength.
If. therefore, in the past we have
consoled ourselves with vague ideas
that it would be wise to annex terri
tory larger than our own, it will per-
haps now be we'll to dismiss the idea
altogether from our minds. 1t takes
two to make a bargain and at the cru
cial moment Canada will be found un-
willing. A powerful neighbor is de-
-stined to develop on our northern from
tier with rapidity even greater than
that which we have enjoyed. 1t may
be interesting in next week Thoughts
to theorize as to what that develop
ment will mean both in relation to the
mother country and the world at large

Curious Fire Causes.

Peculiar causes of fires are set down
in the last quarterly report of the Ma
tional Board of Underwriters. says
Fire and Water" One such fire was
caused by the focusing of the suns
rays by an electric light bulb, which
set fire to a curtain in the windows or
a residence. A four-ton load of hay
was destroyed by fire, caused by the
grounding of a trolley current through
binding wires Of hay while the, load
was passing through a subway. The
hay was completely consumed, but the
fire department saved the truck. A
falling tree was the Indirect cause OF
two fires several miles away and the
temporary suspension Of traffic on an
electric road. The tree, in falling cf r.
ried down some wires of a telegraph
company crossing them with the
trolley wire. The heavy current frorl
the latter followed the telegraph wire
twenty miles, and set fire to two tele-
graph switchboards. In both cases the
fire were quickly extinguished Bust
ness on the electric railway was sus-
pended for one hour

Educational Nuggets: From Plato,
Aristotle, Rousseau, Herbart II. Spen-
GER w. T. Harris, n. NJ. Butler and c..
w. Eliot compiled by John r. How
ard, New York (Fords, Howard &
Hubert, New York;. No topic is of
interest to more people than that of
popular education. The advances made
within the last twenty-five years, since
the children themselves have been
taken up as subjects of study, and
closer attention has been given to
methods of treating them so as to de-
velop the differing capacities Of in
dividual scholars, have been most en-
couraging The impulse Of this new
departure came from that erratic gen
ius. Rousseau, whose treatise on edu-
cation in his Emile of a hundred
years ago was the inspiration of Pes
talozzi and his successor, Froebel, the
inventor of the kindergarten; while
Herbart, the German psychologist in
the first third Of the present century
was a most systematic writer on the
art of education, and Herbert Spencer's S
keen thrusts and sledgehammer blows
aroused the English-speaking world of
educators to the beginning of better
things forty years ago. In our own
land many accomplished men have de-
voted themselves to the development
of education as a science, and among
these none have been more prominent
and successful than William T. Harris,
the present United States Commis-
sioner of Education; Professor sNicho-
las Murray Butler of Columbia Univer-
sity and President Charles w. Eliot of
Harvard, all Of whom take peculiar
and effective interest lin the improve
ment of our common school system.
Educational Nuggets is a little book
of striking suggestive extracts on many
educational topics from these writer's;
and by way of showing how the germs
of the most modern thought may be
found in the most spiritual of the an
clients. these are prefaced by a series of
equally interesting thoughts from Plato
and Aristotle. The compiler, John r.

calls attention to the real unity of
spirit underlying all these authors,
