THE MIN ISSUE. A troy, Who, in Time, Will Likely be a Great Judge. A ' wyer advertised for a clerk. The nextss orning his office was crowded with appliu nts-a11 bright, and many suitable. - He bade them wait until all should arrive, and then ranged themi n a row and said- he would tell them a story, note their com- ments, and judge.from that whom he would choose. " A certain farmer," began the lawyer, "was troubled with a red squirrel that got in through a hole in his barn and stole his seed corn. He resolved to kill the squirrel at the first opportunity. Seeing him go in the hole one noon, he took his shot gun and fired away ; the first shot set the barn on fire." " Did the barn burn ?'.' said one of the boys. The lawyer, without answer, continued : " And, seeing the 'barn on fire, the far- mer seized a pail of water and ran to, put it out." • " Didie put it out !" asked another. _^— . " As $4passed inside, the door shut to and the fin was soon,..flames.--When-the hired girl rushed out with more water "" `` " Did they all burn up ?" said another boy. . The lawyer went on without answer : Then the sold lady came out, and all was . noise and confusion, and everybody was trying to put outthe fire." " Did anyone,burn up ?" said another,--- -The-lawyer saiel : `"`There, that will do ; you have all. _..shown great in-terest in- the story.,"• But, observing one little bright- eyed fellow in deep silence, he said : "Now, my little pian, what have you to say ?" • The little fellow blushed, grew uneasy and stammered out : " I want to- know what: became of that squirrel ; that's what II want to know." You'll do,'.' said the lawyer ; "you are my man ; you have not been switched off' by the confusion and the barn burning, and the hired girls and water pails. You have kept your, eye on the squirrel." Vacation Advice. • Don't go out in the woods to fly a kite - only the birdsfly there. If a goose cries at you,do not cry yourself in turn. Only geese do that. Don't try leap -frog over the cows in the pasture. The cows night object. Don't waste your time in trying to catch two-inch fish with a ten -foot pole. Don't try swimming in creeks where the water is two feet deep and the mud six feet. It is always well to remember the fact that savage cows and fierce dogs can't climb trees: If a strange dog smiles at you, it is policy to Mile back, and if he runs at you,the best thing is to run back.. It is adding insult to injury to burn up the farmer's fence in trying to cook the corn that you have helped yourself.to. A barn roof is not meant as a toboggan - slide, and • shingles are rather hard on trousers. 'When you go out for an all -day tramp don't eatup all your lunch at 10 o'clock. You will feel starved by 2 if you do so. 'If you get tired' doing nothing it is a.good thing to sit under thebarn and passthe time in waiting for the weather -cock to crow. A great many days may be employed in this manner. You may imagine that you help the hay- makers by jabbing the horses with the pitclfork and getting tangled up in the reins, t you do not, and they will probably tell y u so. '. Do not be angry if the roosters awaken you at daybreak. Remember that if you went to bed at sunset you would be willing to ,get up. with the chickens, and roosters don't stop to consider such things., Dillon and O'Brien will be restored to a sympathetic' world next week, some two or three days before the expiration of their jail sentences.

The report of the thirty-third annual meeting of the Canadian _Press Association contains an exhaustive paper on "Type -set- ting and casting machinest" and also a paper and report of the discussion on the use of plate -matter. .

The demands of modern life on newspaper workers- are more vat.'ieci send imperiona thtN ever before. There never was a time whe. men of high and special attainment; nemme--needed-than now. T ie days of the typical Bohemian in journalism are gone ; they will never return. His place has been taken by more busy and earnest braiu workers, vastly more useful if less pictur- crone and odorous than the old type. While the newspapers of Canada are on the whole a credit to the country, there is still plenty of room for improvement. This can 41Y7cf ,'}�,^�r...:.

How those whom nature intended for jour- nalists -and no one else should be a jour- nalist -can secure the best training, is a question which it is well that you are con- sidering and every other association of this kind should consider. We are all familiar with the time-honored platitudes, of the in - flue I1 a -press, w en airly. and honestly exerted, is very great; but it should not be forgotten that the brain workers, as we may call the editors and reporters, do not con- stitute the entire interests of journalism: Perhaps few' people stop to consider how vast are the business interests of the press, how much capital is invested in the news- paper business, and how much money passes every year through newspaper offices.. I have suggested the collection of accurate statistics on this subject covering the whole Province. When these are at hand, they will no doubt surprise you. They will ena- ble you to realize how great and how varied are the interests you represent, and which it is the object of your Association to pro - mote.", Mr. William Houston said, in the course of his address on ".

It is easy to mistake the sign ance of this term in relation to journali t means here at least three things : (1) raining in the expression of thought eans . of language ; (2) a training in omprehension of thought as conveyed nguage,' and (3) a training in the apprec on of the beautiful in art_as_ erpbodie rtistrc literature' and especially in poet o ifi- sm. .

It is ho see flaws in our own work,• and the mo at can be said of the teaching of comp ion in school is that it usually do thing in the way of making pupils sel tical. 2. Historical. The possession of a larg ount of historical knowledge is for th cessful journalist indispensable, bu s is the lowest • view to .take of th tter. He may be able to get on so fa mere knowledge • is concerned b aid of good books of 'reference he cannot acquire by their use fha tle but unquestionable kind of Efiltur ich a proper historical training gives.

It is hard to erstand how one with ,a wide acquaint - e with the events and movements of tory can be a pessimist, 'and a pessimist ournalism has mistaken his calling. The alist shouldknowbestthe history of his country, next that of his own race, that of modern foreign nations, and y that of ancient civilization. Having ime to spare for acquiring this know - e systematically after he'begins his pro- onal ,career, he should have some , train- of�this kind before he goes into it. -Political. I have already called atten- to the true meaning of this term, and refore I . can be in no, danger of being nderatood here. Political training is ought not to be, partisan training. The y of politics rightly understood is the t corrective of the narrowness result- rom the constant discussion . of things a partisan point of view. It includes owledge, properly acquired, of the con.: tion of the country, viewed both static - and dynamically,• and it includes a ledge of all of the institutions of the unity, not • merely those consciously ed to effect certain purposes but those seem to have a more natural develop- , such as property and the family. • The t of the fielid covered by the terns titutions " forbids the assumption that be usefully covered incidentally during journalist's career. He should know thing about it before he enters on prac- work. , Economic. I use the term to imply the ,journalist who has from history olitics learned something of society en litical side should make a study of erce and industry so as to have some f the forces at work in the direction of activities exercised in producing and nging objects of value. Many of the difficult questions of the day are con- of we ase k now wages the be soiiree lar po 1 with the production and distribution th, and t.hey are as practical as they liken, The journalist is supposed to all aboet what det ermines the rate of , how to prevent strikes and lockouts, ' st•means of utilizing the public re- ! s, the cot -monde effects. of tine particu• ' licy, whether embodied in •a iaw tsf country or in a treaty with some foreign power. Surely he would be all the better for knowing before hand that these are old, old questions, and for knowing also some•eef the solutions of them that have been offered by thoughtful men. I haver, in pointing out what the journal- ist's lii.gher training{q� should consult of,, indi- cated also haw it-shoixlct be acquired. He •slioulcl have a 'liberal training before he begins to work, and he should steadily, endeavor to supplement that with what eul-taire he can seeure by his own persistent efforts. Above all he should use his influ- ence for thesizapecesemeet of the educational systen3 of the country. So much of the teaching done in schools is mere memory ork that it is of very questionable utility, id in this respect colleges and universities re hardly more advanced than the schools. o greater boon can be conferred by jour- nalism on this country -acrd we are no worse off than others -than the substitution of rational methods ati a,r li;li'=ctVtr`Fioils naiv iin vogue.
