bombsnell In the Dominion.
Not the Man for Canada.
The queens humiliation has been
complete. Prince Alexander is not the
man to cope with Canada's great ques-
lions II he should go as governor e
eral under the most favorable auspices
and with the support of the whole do
minion at his back. His personal friends
are urging him to make his own with
drawal so emphatic as to secure him
from the further embarrassment he
would inevitably suffer IL he allowed
the matter to go further. AS he has
a the slightest personal desire
to figure In government affairs. and
his wife Is likewise equally unambi-
ttous along that line. 1t Is not likely that
the queen will be able to keep him to
do 8 G.
Canada has, for many generations,
been regarded as the most important
OF the dominions and her governor
general has always been q man of vast
experience and mature Judgment, gen.
orally being sent to Canada as the fl
male of a long and exceptionally bril-
liant diplomatic career. The duke Of
COnnaught did not measure up to the
standard. but his g called for a GER
tain respectful reticence in criticism
which the Canadians faithfully OBJ
served. taking 1t for granted that his
term would not be long. and that the
British government would then return
to its settled policy OF a century or
more of sending to Canada the pick Of
the colonial statesmen.

and printed editorials. comparing his
capacity with that of their other gov
ernor-generals. such as Dufferin,
Landsdowne. Stanley. Mimic and Grey,
who were great statesmen. showing In
thiS comparison how impossible It is
even to consider the appointment of
Prince Alexander of Teck. who has a
reputation for nothing but bravery as
an officer and for capacity to make

, Why not in communities evervwhere this summer among neighbors and their children? There Is scarcely A small town or a community that doas moi need something of this sort through the
 summer vacation. Few of them have libraries that are open except dl,rins. the school term, none have stipervised playgrounds. and only few have any good playground or park. In many of them there is simply nothing for
 the children to do all summer long ex- cept what they themselves can find for amusement In every community there are few homes at least where thene are games and books and where the mothers take the time to see that vaca-
 tion days shall be filled with pleasure
 and shall have some educational value
 to the boys and girls of their house.
 holds Wouldn't if be practical, cer-
 tainly it would be kind, for these moth
 CTS to take turns in providing amuse-
 ment and employment for their chill
 dren and to add to this group other children who need someone 10 take an
 interest in them? A thoughtful mother said recently that there Is no form Of civic. social or charitable endeayor thar appeals to her as this does. this shar-
 ing with others the care that,attentive mothers give their own children.
 Think what difference there would be in three months. if instead of leav- ing the children to their own resources all summer, several grown people would play the part of big sister and big brother to them. It will have to be done systematically and tactfully. and it will take time that one might like for oneself, but surely 1t will be worth the sacrifice made. If one person could carry the children to walk, If one could read to them, one take as their part the encouraging of civic pride, and if one person would interest the boys or the girls or both in some nature study, ex- ploration, or something of the sort, it would not be asking too much of any one person, yet the children would have an appreciab ble amount of the time oc- cupied to some purpose.
 A case of this kind, that did work out well was in little mining town near here. In one end of the town were IS children. Spending the summer in the place was a minister and his wife and daughter Every afternoon the min

1 ister and his young lady daughter gathered up these children and took them for a walk. There was no for
 mality no organization. no restraint
 and not one child felt that he was being watched over. One bit Of road made a good track and there the children
 ran races of many varieties and in an other place they all sat on logs or on the ground and played cross questions
 and crooked answers.
 One lady in the town had a big, level
 back yard and there the children were
 welcome to play shadow king and other games in the early evening. In another place the wife of one of
 'he employees was the school teacher, or rather she had the small private school or tie town. and sine planned all Kinds Of entertainment for the few cnhureh. Hers was striking ex- ample of taking the trouble to care for the children, simply for the sake of

 his best points. It sounds like a ia irv
 story, but that boy finished school with honors at the military institution of his state. as direct result of the consider ation show him when he was at Che point where he needed somebody to sufi- uerStand him.
 In place far removed from that the wife of one of the officials arranged to look after some group in the town, at all times. She gave her time where it was most needed to a band of girls who met each week and learned to cro-. chet and to sew, to several half grown boys whom nobody thought about, to score or more of little children who idolized her5 and who were never SO happy as when she told them stories, to the girls who didn't seem to fit in any where. . F
 It is just the wonderful art of being kind. and now when schools are clos Ing. when the children are going to Re free, regardless of whether there is someone to plan for them, when the re- strictons of school are ebing removed, there is need for some individual or some group of people in each neighbor- hood to take this part of tactful and sympathetic director. 4

soeiation with those of every other family
 It was in this school improveme enl meeting, while the mothers were con sidering this problem of their children $ playtime, that some good plans were suggested. plans that are practical and that can be adopted in any community for they were thought out by Typical mothers and teachers to be used in a typical. or an average, case.
 The mother already spoken of sug- gested that the mothers and fathers of this group of children undertake this summer to direct some of their leisure time. Next to her home is grove, and she is willing to take charge of the group of boys there with her own boy. She has spoken casually to some older boy friends of her little boy sug- gesting that this would be an ideal place for recreation if Ii were cleared off bit. They agreed at once to get 1t read for use
 A man who saw these boys playing ball against another team offered q baseball to the winning side. The boys of the group in question won the game and the ball and afterwards asked the man to coach their team, In this ex- perience they have made a friend who will doubtless help toward their spend ing a profitable summer. These boys have chosen a wee boy for their mas cot. and their teacher told them they must be very careful of their language, explaining to them that no mother would want her younger boy with them if they proved to be bad influence for him. This was just one other oppor- tunity to call the boys attention to the way they are tending.
 Some one of the ladies suggested that these children be made responsible Tor Keeping the town free from scat tered paper. In that particular place this Is quite an annoyance so 1t would be something worth while and would give the children some sense of civic responsibility.
 Someone else suggested that the mothers in turn take charge of the party on one afternoon each week, and that some of the men. who can and will. take them for tramps in the woods at other times. All this is done in or ganizations. with tn Boy Scouts, the big brother plan. and similar clubs.
