ENGLAND TO ADOPT OUR NATURAL
 PARK SYSTEM.

Since the pioneering period of America has pass ed and the grim battle with frontier poverty has been won and people have begun to think more ot the enjoyment of life have adopted many European customs thereby adding to our pleasure and culture. It is refreshing and again to see Europe following and adopting customs that have been discovered and developed here One of the features of life America is about to be introduced in England That country is about to have her first National Park Lord Bledisloe's suggestion that the Forest of Dean be made a National Park, the first one in England certain to be adopted
 The Forest of Dean is said to be one of the most suitable tracts in all the British Isles for National Park It lies within easy distance of two of the most populous sections of England, and in it are preserved the flora and much of the fauna of earlier England.
 The Manchester Guardian not only supports the proposal but urges that it be followed by National Parks in the Lake Country, Snowdon, Dovedale and Rowland Forest.
 The inspiration for the proposed National Park system in England comes direct from American experience Our National and State and municipal natural parks being developed to such an extent that the whole world has taken notice of the enjoyment the people get from them.

As Canada Reads Magazines.
(Boston Transcript.)


 Pulp Paper Periodicals" is the title of a paper recently read before the Canadian National Coun- lcil of Education by S. E. Lang of Victoria former inspector of schools in Winnipeg. He complained that the constant reading of magazines was teach ing Canadian youth to accept American standards of life, and to become American in sentiment and outlook Figures in the Canadian Year Book were quoted to show the relative extent to which Am lerican and English magazines were read in the Dominion. It appears that in the last five years Canada has spent $50,000 for periodicals published in the United Kingdom while in the same time it has spent $15,000000 for American publications. Much of the complaint was directed against the type of many of the American magazines that flood the Canadian market. But if the discussion were lconfined to the relative circulation of American and English magazines unobjectionable in character the difference would doubtless still be of impressive proportions.
 It would seem to be condition destined to con- tinue. The popularity of American magazines in the Dominion reflects the fact that it is true our habits of life and thought in many ways those of our Canadian neghbors. This does not imply that they have copied the United States. It is, rather logical outcome of influences that are at work in both countries and that tend in many ways to bring them closer together while each maintains it's national identity, and the prospect ot political union is too remote for serious con- sideration.
 striking illustration of the kindred tastes and habits of thought of the two peoples is found in their newspapers. There are journals in Montreal, Ottawa and other Canadian cities which rank with papers of the first class published on this side of the border, in England But it is not the mother country which is suggested by the appearance and content of these newspapers. In the gathering and presentation of the news in the tone in which it is discussed and in the makeup of the publications the Canadian newspapers are built on a model com mon to the United States and Canada and differing widely from that familiar in the United Kingdom.
 Even in the features regarded as objectionable Canadian and American papers alike. Thus the National Council of Education, in it's discus sion, considered what it could do about comic strips dealing with crime, marital differences and violence Originating in the United States such strips are commonly used in the Dominion.
 Similarity in habits of life and modes of thought prevalent in Canada and the United States is likely to increase rather than diminish. American maga- zines are factor in the situation but there are so many others that such publications cannot be re- garded as a controlling factor

TEN YEARS SINCE FIRST ATLANTIC
 HOP

One would not think from the receptions still accorded those who successfully cross the Atlantic in arpane flights that it had been ten years since that ocean first negotiated in nonstop flight by heavier than air flying machine It was III 1919 that Alcock and Brown landed on Irish soil in something more than sixteen hours after hop- ping of from the American side of the ocean They had flown 1890 miles-making about l1S miles an hour.
 While there has been vast improvement in air plane construction and operation in the last ten years that performance of Alcock and Brown would still be regarded as a sufficient achievement for a lot of celebrating if it were repeated tomorrow.

HERBERT PUTNAM.

Herbert Putnam, to whom a Roosevelt medal is awarded for distinguished service in the ad- ministraton of public office, has for thirty years served the Nation Librarian of Congress. Dur ing that period he has developed the Library from inadequatey organized collection of little more than local importance, into institution, National in it's scope international in it's renown whose tents place it beside the largest libraries in the world and whose range of activities is greater and more diversified than that of any other library As such it has, in the words of Senator Simeon D FesS Chairman of the Senate Committee the Library, passed from service limited to the leg islative department to the government to service of mankind"
 This growth has been due primarily to the con structive ideasm, statesmanship and devotion of Dr. Putnam. Under his leadership the Library has not only extended vastly it's collections and faci- ties but it has expanded also essential function It has become not only an enormous reservoir of knowledge admirably organized the dynamic center of co-ordnated National library system, but also research university where free from crowds, lec- lures and examinations the scholar may pursue the elusive tyuth in atmosphere almost monastic in it's serenity By the creation, through Dr. Put nam's foresight and leadership of the Library of Congress Trust Fund Board which administers funds privately contributed for the benefit of the Library the ideal and the service he has established are assured of permanence and increasing effectiveness
 It has been said of Dr. Putnam, by one of the leading librarians of the country, that he "has beer both gatherer of books and an organizer of serv- ice great in both aspects of his work Thirty years Of his leadership find the Library of Congress hold ing a position at commanding and promis ing; and it has come to hold this position purely through the directing genius of its head; working through colleagues skilfuly chosen and wisely led Representative Luce, Chairman of the House Com mittee the Library, has said of Dr. Putnam that he stands in the foremost rank of those wh' are leading in what the historian may adjudgt to be the most significant advance of our time
