The Wingham Times, 1909-09-30, Page 8Tis 'WINCH .M TIMES, SEPTEMBER MBER 30, 1909 i THINK THIS OVER NUMBER SEVEN. A few years ago there wee a great outcry against the exodus of Canadian young Men to the United States. It was claimed that we ntaiistained schools of a very high standard --a very much higher standard than the average school in the UnitedStates—with the ideaof edueat- ing our children to be ; od citizens of Canada. No sooner diel they complete their sohool or college courses, however, yrhets they found that they could make mere money by moving to the United States. The very superiority of our edu• cataenal inetitutionc over boo across the bar. n, made it easy for our young 'Men to obtaiu situations. there. Young Canadians were batter aqui., ped to fill responsible positions than their own routhe. It is well known that in many United States cities, Canadians were ;given the preference. Some years ago it was estimated that there were be- tween 50,000 and 100,000 native-born Oesnadians in the eines' city of Chicago, land that there were aiearly es many Oan- ealierse m the 1;Tttited States as there were in all Oauada. The twentieth century opened with six Governors of States, e. large number of United States Senators and a larger number of members of Oocgrees, as well las the Presidents of the two greatest railway systems in that cor:ntry, all na- tivo-born Canadians. IG was appreciat- ed that all this was very unfair to Can- ada. Why should we educate young men for the purpose of making them valuable citizens of another country? The npebot of the agitation was that the cry of "Canada Garet" became very popular, There wore appeals to bay only Canadian goods wherever possible, and to "lost" ot?-r own coaaitry on every possible oppostueity—to be patri- otic: --tat he loyal—in fact, to boil it down into one word—to be sensible. Have yon noticed what has happened in seoeatt years as a result of all this? The exodus has ceased. There are now more Amerieans comic£, to Canada than there are Canadians going to the United States. Large manufacturers of imple- ments. clothing. cameras, wird fencing, drugs and a hundred and one other things, found it necessary to establish factories in Canada in order to hold the Canadian trade. .And now we want to ask the residents of Wingham if patriotism cannot be taken one step further? Is not loyalty to Canada only a stepping stone to loyalty to Wiugham? Why should we educate our children to make them good citizens of Toronto or Montreal? Can we do anything to keep them at home? And the answer is the same—Be loyal to your town. Do everything posoible to advauce the interests of Wingham. Do not send your money to build up huge corporations in Toronto or Mont- real. Spend every cent you have to epend right at home. Cut out mail or- der baying. Be true to your neighbors. If we all do this, do you not think it would have as good au effect on Wing - ham as the "Canada First" cry did on the country in general? Would we not be able to attract new capital and new industries and find employment for our sons and daughtere at home? Is it not worth a trial?
