Of wheat-a moderate quantity in
Canada, but a huge quantity in the
United States. The Canadian gov
ernment, of course, can commander
all the wheat that is left in the
Dominion. This for the time being
would tend to diminish the foreign
demand for supplies in the United
States, since all the surplus wheat in
Canada would take care Of the needs
of the allies for several weeks.
But all the Canadian wheat in ex-
istence could not be withdrawn from
the general market without relieving
American holders Of wheat from
Canadian competition.

the Canadian wheat had been left in

Their suggestions pushed aside,
their warnings ignored, they perse-
vered until they convinced their
countrymen sthat this is Ireland's
war as well as England's, and that
Ireland, for England's recent atti-
tude, owed "a great, grave duty Of
honor to the British empire"
Why has not Ireland's noble sacri-
fee been told before? Redmond
blames the censor. He tells of the

at Gallipoli. Yet the Canadians,
Australians, and the rest were
singled out for mention in the Of
fetal dispatches. with not q word for
the Irish. It was so at the battle of
Loos, he says, when the London
Scots were praised for valor. and the
London Irish, fighting alongside,
were ignored.
This bonehead discrimination gals
the Irish and hinders recruiting.
Yet, says Redmond, "You can count
on Ireland to the end"
Now that the curtain has been
pulled aside and Ireland's unselfish,
heroic part in the war has been re-
vealed, the story of their brethren's
sacrifice should shame to silence the
disaffected faction in America which

TRUEST CHARITY SERVICE

Too many persons regard the As
sociated Charities as an agency for
the distribution of aims in the shape
Of food and clothing. Last evening
at the annual meeting Of that or
ganization the retiring president,
Corcoran Thorn, asserted that his
co-workers were most gratified when
they were able to show reduction
In such distribution. He would not
have the body's effectiveness meas
ured by that gauge at all.
A better idea of the constructive
service rendered by the Associated
Charities can be gained by other
Items IN is report. For example,
those the association has assisted
deposited more than $7,1O0 in the
savings fund last year. How wide
spread the contributions were to this
fund is shown in another column Of
the report, where it is stated that
the number of visits made by volun-
teer workers to collect these savings
was 27.146.
While LIPS families were given
material relief, the association is
>,nore proud of the constructive work
represented in procuring 243 perma-
nent jobs and 276 temporary. ones
for those who needed such aid. The
extent of its operation is indicated
by the report that 3,467 families,
representing 13,473 persons, were
befriended in some way.

cANADA'S WHEAT ACTION

TO commander from sixteen to
twenty million bushels of wheat
was, under the existing circum-
stances, a singular performance Cor
the Canadian government. What
ever may be the ultimate effect upon
general prices, the immediate effect
was exactly the opposite of what the
Canadian government intended. It
wanted to check speculation for a
rise; but, while it might assume that
it the government got twenty mil
lion bushels at fair price to be de-
termined by it that much buying
pressure would be taken from the
market, there are several other
things to be considered.
First there is the fundamental
principle that when part of a float
ing supply of anything is largely
and abruptly withdrawn a general
demand, which before was acting on
the whole, will thereafter act the
more strongly on the remaining
part. That is what appears to have
happened yesterday.
The Canadian government may
have obtained its immediate supplies
Mt "fair price" by the comman-
deering process. But the great sur.
plus wheat supply for the allies ia
not in Canada; it is in the United
States. Diverting that Canadian
wheat from the general market into
the special stores Of the Canadian
government sent the price of Ameri,
can wheat up.
II the Canadian government,
achieved a saving of few cents g
bushel on from sixteen to twent,
million bushels in Canada. it addec
a few cents bushel to the price Of
hundreds of millions of bushels II

REAL HELP FOR THE INDIANS

The present Commissioner of In
dian Affairs, Cato Sells, of Texas,
has not only taken keen and un-
usual interest in behalf of improv-
ing the social and educational con-
ditions Of the Indians, but he has
succeeded in commanding the coun-
try's interest to this work. There
has never been time when so in
telligent and general an under
standing Of the real Indian problem
existed among the public generally.
Especial attention, therefore, is
likely to be attracted to the an
nouncement that the Indian Service
committee on courses of study for
the Indian Schools has completed
preparation of scheme which will
give direction to all this work in
future. Its basis is the division of
the school day into two equal parts !;
one half day is devoted to indus
trial and the other half to academic
training. The boys are given prac-
tical courses in farming, gardening,
blacksmithing. carpentering. dairy
management. saddlery, etc; the
girls. in cooking. sewing, laundering,
gardening. poultry care. and the like.
Uncle Sam does things of this sort
well, because he provides necessary
facilities, and knows where to find
experts to use them. If the precise ed
ucational system that is to be carried
to the Indians Of the younger gener-
alton, could also be applied in the
rural schools Of the country general
ly, it would be one of the most prac-
tical services that the Government
could render. There has been end
less discussion of plans for Govern
mcnt aid in vocational training, but
accomplishment has been meager.
The experiment with the Indian
schools should be watched closely by
all educators; it promises to develop
much that will help in the proper
expansion and improvement Of the
schools everywhere.
1t is, Of course, easier to do such
work for the Indian children than
for the community generally, be.
cause the Government assumes that
the Indians are destined to country
life. They are going to be farmers;
thousands of them have already
proved that they make excellent far.
mers and most useful citizens. This
presumption narrows the range OF
instruction for which provision must
be made, and insures more effective
work. Yet the plan that is being
applied to the Indian schools is BY
no means impracticable for the rura
schools generally; properly adapted
it would be the realization of the
best ambitions of students of the
modern educational problem.
