Overcome Handicaps and
Made Highly Efficient by
Vocational Training.

Evidence that the disabled men taxi
ing vocational training under the su-
pervision of the Board for Vocational
Education are making good progress
accumulates daily in the offices of the
Board here. The dean of a far West
ern college. for example, writes In
praising the industry and applica ton
Of one of the Boards students, placed
for training in his institution, and
add:-'If you have any more like him
sepd them along" This boy had a
spinal injury that paralyzed both legs
His disability is rated at 100 per cent
but he will, nevertheless fill efficiently
a position as accountant. The Federal
Board has thousands more like him.
Another case is that of a Western
boy who lost an eye in the service
He has taken an eight weeks course
in tractors and gas engines, and has
been placed in a shop for supplement
tary training. After a few weeks the
manager Of the plant said to HIM
boy, l like the way you are taking
hold here. You will get a $40 bonus

closing under the new ruling will com
mence next Wednesday.

not so searching, more sympathetic. There
is nothing of the decadent in DR.. Ellis, but
little of the poet, while Mr.. Symons is, par

THE SYMBOLIST MOVEMENT IN
LITERATURE. BY ARTHUR SYMoNs.

1.-The Golden Rope"

THERE are critics OF pictorial art
l. who hold to the opinion that the
British landscape of the Royal Academy
school is about the dullest form of ex-
preston known to painting. And after
reading the solemn platitudes about it
poured out on paper by Alan Maclean,
the narrator of j. W. Brodie- Innes's
very, very Early Victorian novel called
The Golden Rope, we are ready to agree
that not only is the art dull, but its
present expositor is the dullest talker on
the subject we ever read.
Maclean went down to Wales to paint
picture of Pontylanyon Castle, as hun
dreds of British painters have gone on
similar jaunts from time out of mind.
But no sooner had he arrived on the
scene of his sketching expedition than he
became embroied in grand operate plot
concerned with the rightful possession of
the castle and its lands, in which all tho
characters of a medieval romance are
concerned with the castle as its setting.
All ordinary processes of English law are
suspended while the tale runs its wild
and prepOsterous course to the end that an
Austrian consul may be kidnapped and
clapped into an insane asylum; the lord
of the castle murdered; a spy incarcer-
ated in secret dungeon and sudden
death stalks abroad in that quiet corner
of Britain.
For confusion of plot, for soporifc dull
ness, for general inanity and gross I'M
reality this tale outdoes anything we have
read in years. Even the author seems to
have become submerged in the deadly
boredom of Maclean's narrative and kills
him off at the end by means of pneu-
monia brought on by watching his sweet
heart sail away as another mans wife
until a rising tide sweeps him out to
sea and into his fatal illness. We don't
like 10 be unduly hard on any hero. But
stern justice eompels lis to say Maelean
deserved his fate.
