REASONS FOR AWARD OF ..BES1

In making the award the commit
tee has been more or less guided b;
considerations superinduced by the
proposition itself, rather than the es-
timation of particular examples Of
individual efforts exhibited by the
various schools.
, In judging the exhibits the COM
mittee has borne in mind the prin
cipal functions of the school as it
exists in the parish to-day, and the
manner in which it is intended tt
affect the pupil in his relation tc
the after-duties of modern principal
life.

ment of the committee on this award
I Particularly was it impressed with
the fact that to large extent the
blue pencil of the teacher in the
classroom is still apparent on tho
work. In attempting to form gen
eral estimate of a particular school
we have been forced to consider tho
extent, variety and merit Of a school

that part of the exhibit which repre-
sents a bona fide work of the class

customers for America than the peo-
pie OF Indo-China, for example, or the
Chinese themselves.
This rule of the largest trade with
the best developed countries holds
good throughout the world. There is
scarcely an exception to put the gen.
eral law to the test. For instance,
take the exports Of automobiles from
France, the country which was the
great pioneer in the production of
motor vehicles.
1t might be supposed that French
automobiles would be bought most
largely by nations like Russia, or Bra
zil, which have many wealthy indi-
viduals but few advanced industries
of the more complicated kind. On
the contrary, the best customer for
French motor vehicles is England, a
country which was ashamed. not long
ago, to confess its failure to supply
its own wants in anything produced
by elaborate and costly machinery.
The next best buyer of French auto
mobiles is Belgium, one of the greatest
workshops of the world. Germany,
another leader in modern industry,
stands third.
So the development of American
trade with Asia can be counted upon
to grow with the progress of that con-
Asiatic nations the better it will be for
the Industries and commerce of the
United States.

TIE BEST CUSTOMERS.

One of the foolish bugahoos often
paraded before the people OF the
United States is the specter of crush
ing Oriental competition in manufac-
turing and commerce. 1t is often said
that when the Chinese and japanese
become more familiar with modern
machinery and modern methods Of
production they will be the most
formidable and destructive rivals this
country has ever faced. Then, the
pessimists say, American manufactur-
ers can no longer hope for an export
trade worth mentioning, across the
Pacific ocean.
This is absurd. Our best customer
in the new world is not backward
Mexico or Brazil, but progressive and
up-to-date Canada. In Europe we sell
most merchandise to Great Britain,
not to Russia Germany, in the van
of modern industrial progress, buys
many times as much from the United
States as American producers and
shippers have ever been able to sell
to Spain or Turkey. In Asia the Jap
anese lead the productive industry of
the continent, and they are far better
