ViscOunt Haldane sounded note Of
AnglO-Saxon amity in his address 10
the American Bar association meeting
in Montreal, by courtesy of the Ca
madam bar. He urged the cultivation

speaking people have no name, but
which the Germans call "Slttlichkeit'

embraces all those obligations of the

HUMOROUS LIBELERs.

We do not care TO rob the news
paper humOrist and cartoOnist OF ma
terial, but we have interviewed a
dozen or more boys and only one man
ifested any reluctance about going TO
school.
From this we conclude that the av-
erage boy or girl likes TO go 10 school.
The surroundings the courses OF
study, the methods Of imparting in
struction have been made so attract
i've and interesting that the opening
OF the new term is anticipated with
pleasure rather than dreaded. as the
funny men would have US believe
It was not always so. A genera
tion back felt differently about going
TO school. The young people were
prompted more by a sense Of duty
than anything else. With few excep-
tons they went TO school cheerfully
enough, but because they felt they
must have the education at any sacri-
flee, rather than because they were in
terested in the school itself.
Now school is made an attractive
place. Learning is made a cumula-
tive pleasure. The schoolrOOm has
been given new atmosphere. In
stead of being a forbidding place 1t
appeals to the mental ard social quail
tiles OF the child. Someway get
ting an education is no longer like
work. The grind has been taken out
OF it.
The powers of observation are now
exercised as much as the memory.
knowledge is acquired the easiest
way, the most natural way. 1t is per-
United to soak in rather than being
driven in. Really, it IS a hardship
that people who were educated the
old way cannot go to school and get
some enjoyment out of IL.

One of them carried a tiny gilt harp,

GROUP INSURANCE.

A recent development of social
value is group insurance. Many en-
ployers are taking advantage Of 1t to
show good will to their working force.
The plan is simple With a blanket
policy and at cost ranging from one
TO two percent of the payroll cost
per person much reduced from the
cost OF separate insurance=the en-
ployer is enabled to guarantee to the
family of a worker overtaken by death
cash sum equal TO one years wage
OF course. it partakes of charity.
but it is not in conflict with Justice
The employer, on the whole, gets from
the worker in value of service more
than he repays in wages, else under
the profit system he could not stay in
business. BY voluntarily insuring the
worker he, to that extent. reduces the
difference, sign of moral awakening
which does the worker no harm and is
apt TO do the workers family much
good
Group life insurance does not oper-
ate TO extinguish an employers LA
bility under any plan of workingmen's
compensation now I'm force, and, of
course, should not do so. 1t supple
ments it by covering social hazards
apart from factory perils.
Would it's general adoption tend to
interfere with labor's demands for
higher pay? 1t seems unlikely. 1t
could only through labor sconsent.
The pressure of needs upon the pay
roll-is not usually reduced by volun-
tary concessions on the part of en-
ployers, especially when disguised un-
der forms OF philanthropy. For un-
derneath all such concessions is the
elemental passion for justice; and it is
this which is the handspring of the
labor movement.
Ours is a time of transition from
feudalism I'm business to democracy;
from the imposed rule of few TO the
cooperative rule of ALL The great
| distance between these extremes has
TO be bridged by compromises if we
are TO get safely across without spill
| ing the contents of our apple cart
1t seems to us that group insurance
/ beginning as concession by en-
plOyers until its value has become suf-
| ficiently well understood TO prompt its
use comparatively, is one of those
/ saving expedients.
| Until we learn TO insure the weak
