THE GRANARY OF
NORTH AMERICA"
GOVERNOR suLzER SAYS THAT
OF WESTERN CANADA.

The close ties of friendship exist
ing between the United States and
Canada were dwelt upon In addresses
by Premier Robert L. Borden, OF Can
ada, and Governor Sulzer, at the an
uual dinner Of the University Club OF
Albany.
Canada and the United States"
said Premier Borden, have . common
heritage in the language, the htera-
ture. the laws, the institutions and the
traditions which have come down to-
them from the men Of bygone days.
Perhaps no more instructive object
lesson ever has been given to the.
world than the four thousand miles OF
undefended boundary line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, which bears
silent but eloquent testimony to tbs
mutual confidence and respect Of the
two nations. Time will shortly place
upon the brow Of each nation the lau-
rel of one hundred years of peace. 1t
matters not SO much az to the form.
of the outward celebration. but let US
hope that its full significance may
sink deep into the hearts OF both ma
tons, and that, whether north or south
Of the boundary, we may stand with
bowed and reverent heads, Offering:
grateful thanks for the Divine blessing
OF peace, and earnest prayers that In
the century to come, mutual confidence.
goodwill and respect may truly ami
mate the ideals and aspirations Of both,
nations"
Referring to the natural resources,
possessed by the United States and
Canada, particularly along the st.
Lawrence River. the premier urged
that they be preserved and developed
for the people"
Governor Sulzer predicted that the
Great Canadian Northwest is designed
to become, before long, the granary OF
North America"
MANY of our best citizens, regret
to say" said the governor, ARE leav-
ing the States Of the west and going
into the Canadian northwest, because
of the fertility of its soil, the lib
erality of the Canadian government
and the ability OF those people TO bet

The Mysterious Reason.

ITO W'JStcftouo nCdooU.
During this time, the farewell cere
mony was taking place. Everybody
remarked that the retiring managers
looked cheerful, as is the Paris way.
The foyer OF the ballet is the las,
place in which two men SO knowing
as NJ. Debienne and NJ. Poligny would
have made the mistake OF betraying
their grief, however genuine 1t might
be. And they were already smiling
rather too broadly upon Sorelli, who
had begun to recite her speech, when
an exclamation from Jammes broke
the smile brutaily.
The opera ghost!"
Jammes yelled these words in a
tone OF unspeakable terror; and her
finger pointed. among the crowd OF
handles. to a face so pallid that the
deaths head In question Immediately
scored a huge success.
The opera ghost!"
Everybody laughed and pushed his
neighbor and wanted to offer the
opera ghost drink. but he was gone.
He had slipped through the crowd:
and the others vainly hunted for him,
while two old gentlemen tried to calm
little Jammes and while little 0iry
stood screaming like a peacock.
Sorelll was furious; she had not
been able to finish her speech; the
managers had kissed her. thanked her
and run away as fast as the ghost
himself. They were to receive their
personal friends. for the last time. 10

as and when taken out, would cost

money market would have to be very
tight, indeed to induce the eastern
centers to take out currency at these
costs. but in the interior where ordi

EVENING CHAT
A New England Montessori.
BIZ EUTA CAMERON

On a hot day in a very hot kitchen
some years ago. hard-working moth
er had just finished ironing four shirt
waists and three fussy white dresses
and hung them on the clothesline,
when the front door bell rang. 1t took
her almost ten minutes to get rid OF
the peddler, and when she finally came
back to her kitchen, there on the floor
was her three-year-ol son calmly fold
ing up the last of those garments.
The work of hours had been destroy
ed in ten minutes. For a moment that
tired woman felt just one impulse, that
of anger against a naughty child, and
then, being a rather remarkable moth
CT, she began to think. 1.-The baby ISM
old enough to do that from mischief
she thought. It's just that he has seen
me fold things and he wanted to do
the same He didn't mean to be
naughty, he just wanted to fold some
thing. 1 suppose if I gave him some
thing to fold he'd enjoy folding it, and
1t would keep him out of mischief"
Whereupon. instead of Furnishing the
child, she got out two or three old dish
towels and an old spread and gave
them to him, a.. he sat on the floor
amusing himself for an hour, folding
and unfolding, just as he had seen his
mother do.
Moreover, she did not forget her les
son. When the next baby reached the
folding age she brought out the old
spread and dish towels, and added a
few more articles, and when he had
passed the folding age, he laid them
aside for the next conner.
And so each baby was harmlessly
amused for many hours, and at the
same time learned something about the
use and control of his hands and arms.
Now the above incident is not origin
al with me. I cribbed it out of a book
about the Montessori method and re-
told it from memory. Doesn't that
arouse your interest in the Monies
sori method? I meant that it should.
1.-THE Montessori method of child edu-
cation sounds very technical and alb
struse. AS a matter of fact it is SIM
ply a thorough development and en-
largement by Maria Montessori, an
Italian doctor, of the same idea which
came to that New England housewife,
namely, that most of the apparently
mischievous things a child does are not
naughty at all. but merely natural at
tempts to get in touch with the world
about him and do what he sees others
doing. and that If we will supply
him with harmless implements for do
ing these things, he will not make
trouble and he will educate himself.
Perhaps this is not the millennium
in child education, but it certainly is a
sp1endidly sane viewpoint and my
heartfelt advice to all fathers and
mothers who want to give their chill
dren the sQuarest deal going. is to get
some one of the interesting books which
have been written on this subject, and
read 1t from cover to cover.
