Will Canadians both in the government and in the ef­ forts of her individual citizens learn the lesson so patent to all who consider? Germany has made the mistake of directing her line of ■development as along the line of outward things. She has held her­ self closely to such growth. The outcome of her blunder has been chaos and as far as one nation can work it, ruin for the world. The true line of progress is in the way of the development and enrich­ ment of the human spirit. It is as true today as it was 4,000 years ago that man does not live by bread alone. The satisfaction of his bodily needs may be soon attained. The needs of his spirit, never.

TWO LUCAN YOUTHS SENT TO REFORMATORY A widely used practise in Ontario courts of allowing youthful law­ breakers to go free on suspended sentence on their first brush with the policy may be a misake, County Magistrate Hawkshaw declared. “If bad boys were ‘jacked up’ on the first offense, it might do a lot of good,” his worship said as he sent- two first offenders, Roy Evans, 22, and Thomas Shingler, 20, both of Lucan, to reformatory for four to six months each. Thomas Smith, 19, who has a record, went to prison for six to nine months. The three pleaded guilty Christmas Eve to breaking into Thomson’s garage at Lucan, where a small quantity of cash was taken.

The mail-carrier was held up. The butcher and the baker could not make their rounds. Social engagements had to be cancelled. Horses and cut­ ters and even sleighs were out of commission. The doctor could not make his usual rounds. Result! Helplessness. In a far more real sense than we know we have educated our­ selves into helplessness, dependence. It’s a bad thing to cultivate tastes that may become our tormentors. We live in an electric age all right, but suppose the electricity should be shut off!
