Some Ideas
Most Of the ideas to which DR..
Downes gives hearty endorsement have
been advocated from time to time by
the Telegraph. One of the more i'm
portant is the community center
scheme. DR.. Downes has this to say
or the subject:
II am heartily in favor of using
our valuable school property TO the
fullest degree, but l am greatly op-
posed to using it at haphazard and
without competent paid supervision
snc direction. I hope the time will
soon come when the board may find
ways and means to inaugurate and
develop this important work.
The fact that the schools are used
for the usual school purposes but six
hours a day, five days a week, and
nine and one-half months a year, and
that they are generally idle the re-
mainder of the time, is a convincing
argument in favor of this present day
campaign for open schoolhouses.
I'VE have for a number of years
brought this matter to the attention
of the board. We have consistently
contended that our schools are not
adequately used and that they might
be made more efficient agencies look
ing toward the education, the social
uplift, and the general happiness of
the community. I do not know that
any member of the board has ever
opposed the theory of these conten-
tions. The difficulty has always been

ONLY ONE BRIEF
IN HARDSCRABBLE
Supplementary Paper Yet to Be
Filed For Court in Con-
demnation Case

With the exception of a supplement

Barnett wishes to file, all the papers in
the Hardscrabble condemnation pro-
ceedings are ready for the Courts per-
usal and it is the general impression in
legal circles that the delay in submit
ting this brief is naturally delaying an
opinion by the court on the subject.
Mr.. Barnett said to-day that he eX-

that this will mean that Dauphin's

Property owners in the section in

they are rather at sea as to what to

CrumbIing Of TeutOnic Credit

London. Jan. 10. Money was
plentiful to-day and the stock mar
kcts were firm. The Stock Exchange
believes the Treasury is preparing
list of American shares which it will
purchase besides bonds. Otherwise
the financial situation shows little
change.
There is much doing in diplomacy,
both political and commercial. As
CONSUMPTION is proving unpopular
with the working classes, the North
cliffe press and its allies have been
switched off onto furious attack
upon the Foreign Office. which IS ac-
cused Of treating neutral trade con
sideratcly instead Of ending the war
by strangling the commerce OF Ger
many. Actually. of course. the
blockade is now much more sclen-
tic and injurious to German finance
than it was six months ago. But IN
diligence should be extended to Eng
lish journalists working without eco
monte or statistical knowledge under
a news paper trust.
Competent and independent iinan-
cial authorities agree with Lord Rob
ert Cecirs Scandinavian policy and
hope he will not be stampeded by
The Daily Mail"
Results Of the more scientific
blockade are evident IN the crum-
bling of German exchange and the
decline Of German credit IN neutral
countries. This decline in mark eN-
changes would, Of course, have been
impossible if Germany had been cut
off by our blockade from tea. coffee.

You cannot have depreciation IN

it has no imports: and AS publica

German government TO maintain It's
credit very much longer by compel
ling people to subsist on Spartan
diet from which foreign articles
would have been practically OK
cluded.
The composition Of the govern
ment explains some irresolution, and
opinion ON both sides in Commons
indicates the deslrabilty of a purely
Conservative government to finish
the war. This seems to be the view
of the Liberal Manchester Guard
