the Message.

Washington. - President Wilson's
suggestion to congress in his trust
address that the government and bust
ness men are ready to meet each other
half way Gin a common effort to square
business methods with both public
opinion and the law" fell on atten-
tive ears and struck a responsive
chord in representatives of differing
political parties.
The atmosphere of cooperation and
accommodation in the message; the
reforms proposed, expressed in terms
of conservatism, and the spirit of
friendliness to supersede antagonism
in dealing with big business, which
dominated the presidents thoughts,
aroused expressions of approval from
all sides. Few discordant notes were
sounded in comments from members
of the congress who are to pass upon
legislation urged to prohibit monopoly
and hold men of business within the
law.

practice of closing public schools in
summer as 'primitive and preposter-
ous'' and declaring the most import
ant problem of today was to keep
city boys from three months contain
ination in the Streets" P. P. Claxton,
commissioner of the United States bu-
reau Of education, approved a plan
which would mean continuous school
sessions and through which two mil
lion children might be enlisted in voca-
tional work.
A program for summer vocational
work of public school children was
submitted to the commissioner by
Clyde Alison Mann, secretary of the
American Society for Thrift.
"The teachers should teach nature
study and the principles Of horticul-
ture," said Mr.. ClaXton,
public schools of the country rep,
resent an investment in buildings,
grounds and equipment of nearly two
billion dollars, and this investment
stands idle about one-quarter of the
time for no other reason than that
in primitive days both teachers and
pupils were needed on the farms three
or four months in the summer.

The movement was first inaugural
ed in December of last year. 1t was
conceived in the mind of one member
of the committee and the conception
grew and expanded until finally five
men put their heads together and are
now making a concerted effort to &C.
compish the end which they have in
yeiw. These five men are: Messrs.
n. B. Broughton, Albert l.. Cox, j. S.
Mann, John A. Mills, and Aft A.
Thompson. Mr.. Thompson was elected
chairman of the committee and Mr..
Cox was chosen secretary. Mr.. b. X.
Lacy was requested to act as treas
urer of the committee, and accepted.
Rev. N. c. Hughes has agreed to act
as general agent, and will begin imme-
diately to solicit funds by the church.
Mr. Hughes intends to proceed with
the work as rapidly as he possibly
can, and at the same time attend to
his other duties. He expects to find
a ready response to the appeal which
he is going to make to the people of
the state in behalf Of the prisoners
now serving time on the state farm
in Halifax, and hopes to have the
necessary funds in hand in very
short while. Mr.. Hughes feels that
the Christian people of the state will
respond in a very generous manner
to the appeal which he expects to
make. When the comittee first meet
and definitely decided upon the course
now being pursued, sum of SIS, was
raised among the five members pres
ent at the time, and the response in
gneral will likely be very liberal.

class consciousness. He took issue with
the tendency to inject more democ-

clarde the spread of "lubricity" in lit

rectly in education, was a danger to
young men and women of the coun.

One of the Most Noted Of the Build
ers of Canada Dies in London.
London, England.-Lord Strathcona
and Mount Royal, high commissioner
for Canada, died here.
Death was due to prostration, the
result of severe attack of catarrh.
He had been ailing, however, since
the death of his wife last November,
which proved great shock.
Lord Strathcona's life spanned near
ly a century and his active career a.
full three-quarters. "The best way
to live to an old age" he explained,
when found at his desk in London
on his ninety-third birthday anniver-
sary on August 6, last, "is by not
thinking about age at all, but Just
going on doing your work"
From his eighteenth year, when, as
Donald Smith, sturdy Scot, he sailed
for Canada, to his ninety-fourth year,
which would have been completed in
next August, he lived up to his maxim
of work. For the past six years he
had been periodically reported as
about to resign" the post of high
commissioner for Canada, but it was
death and not his resignation that ter
minated his work.
