A considerable number of stu
dents attended the County Institu-
te held in the City Hall last Thurs
day and Friday. There were a.
bout two hundred teachers in at
tendance many of whom are ex-
Science School students. On
Thursday Prof. Morehart of the
Dept. of Education was the speak
er and he gave an interesting
lecture on ':motivation." The
speaker chose that subject rather
than one more specific believeing
that to rouse enthusiasm would
be better than a cure for some
specific deficiency. He general
lied on the value of motivation
and then proceeded to give plans
for the actual application Of his
principles.
On Friday Miss Zuill gave a
very interesting address on Hot
Lunches for Rural schools Her
talk was very pleasing and enth-
usiastically received. She cover
ed the ground nicely showing the
desirability and the praticabili-
ty of the hot lunch in rural
schools.
Pres. Smith followed Miss Zuill
with a splendid address on "The
Present and Future of Our
Schools In his address he
showed what the schools have
done, wherein they have failed
and where succeeded. He gave
! some interesting and almost start
ling statistics which showed the
inefficinecy of the schools to
teach children to be of service af-
ter their schooling was finished.
He claimed that education has but
two values, viz: economic and
: esthetic and that the economic
! was by far the most important,
,, but that too often it was made sec
ondary to the esthetic.

SrATESMANShle

SIllcc Tue clOSe OF tnC civil Wal
we have been iur the most par: {;
commercial people. The man ol
D :>ilrss has been held, and nas
held himself, as the measure of
wisdom. Success in making
money has been deemed the test
of worth. What's more, ,ne
whole duty and function of man
that too ofen been considered dis
charged by the fact of his having
made money. A nation has been
held success by reason of the
money it has made, and no other
factor than making money has
been held a success by reason of
the money it has M de, and no
other factor than making money
has been considered requisite TO
The welfare of people or the good
fortune of the state.
Our best minds entered bust
ness. Few were spared for SER
vice of the Nation. While our
business efficiency was striking.
our political ineptitudes became
scandalous. So long as business
progressed, it didn't much matter
how affairs of state were mis-
conducted or not conducted at all.
If night everybody was making
money, the state could be regard
ed almost as superhuity. Let
the politicians rant, and graft as
they pleased or were able, so long
as business wasn't seriously dis
lurbed.
If such was once our point of
view, it is not now. Merely to do
business is not sufficient for the
health of the state OF the happin-
rss of people. Events are teach
ing us the new old lesson-as o!d
as history, since in all history
there is no record of purely
commercial state that lasted
There isn't the wisdom i'm traders
and merchants and firanciers and
manufacturers as a 5o!.j such as
suffices for securing the good and
preserving the security Of a state
This is not to say that i'm theil
body is 40 rational wisdom; rath-
"r it is TO say that their sort OF
wisdom is noe enough.
The great enemies of England
have compared her to Carthage
Napoleon reoroached her as
nation of shopkecrs.' But ther,
is this different between Carthag,
and England; The rulers o
Carthage were wholly commercial
lists whose foresight was not std.
trsmanlike; the directors of Eng
land, while supporters of com
mrrce. have been recruited from
class whose profession has beer
craftsmanship. And if the Brit
ish aristocracy is perishing in thi
war. there is a new class i'm Eng
land more broadly intelligent con
crrniny the Nation than are th,
strict commcrciaIists-thcy ar,
the Laboritcs.
| The fact is that a country ma,
be- making money hand over fis
and at the same time be runnin,
int" danger that is unp"rceivcd h,

chants of Carthage made money
while Rome armed. The Libcra

ment has been a great success"

Mr.. Balfour. speaking in behalf OF
the mission. said that ties of blood. OF
common language and common ideals
were not the real causes which have at
last brought Great Britain and the
United States together.
"They have bond of union" he
said, stronger than language, stronger
than literature, than law. They have
the bond of common hopes, Of COM
mon purpose, of nations making COM
mon sacrifices for one great end. That
end is not only that Of American uni
versities and British universities, not
merely the future culture or economic
progress of these two great and free
communities. but. in addition to these
causes, we can surely say lot ourselves
that we have in our guardianship the
future freedom of the world. and sue
cess in our efforts means the future
civilization of the world.
"The crisis we are living through to-
day is possibly a greater crisis than
that which struck this country in 1916.
1t is one, the Importance of which, ex-
tends far beyond the boundaries of this
community and touches the whole
world. not in America alone, not in Eu-

flourish"

the worst yet put forward and as put
ting the clock back behind the position
Sir Edward Carson. the Ulster leader,
put IL in at the Buckingham Palace CON
ference in 1914. IL is pointed out that
they exclude six counties en- bloc with
out giving them chance Of voting
their views.
Many Of the Nationalsts express the
opinion that the partition policy was
adopted as n tactical move to defeat
Home RIle. and that once Home Rule
was recognized as inevitable even the
Unionist counties would vote them
selves in. especially the Episcopalian
Protestants, whose Church is bound by
many ties to all ireland.
IL is further pointed out that the
proposals not only prevent the Nation
alist counties of Tyrone and Fermanagh
from voting themselves in, but hinder
their coming in later by providing for
their inclusion with the others in one
unit.
