This is Educational Week. What
is its purpose? Through the press,
the radio, the pulpit and the school
the parent is reminded that he has
an obligation towards his son or
daughter. An obligation to see that
they obtain the best education pos
sible within their means. An oblig
ation that he must not leave
entirely to the school. It is his child
and his obligation. A parents’ in
terest in his. child is reflected in
his child’s educational progress.
Why should we be educated? A
democracy requires a well-informed
and articulate citizenry, capable of
intelligent decisions on matters of
public policy. While the founda
tions for this should be well and
truly laid in the public and high
schools, it is shortsighted and un
realistic to suppose that the pro
cess could be complete by the time
most of us are ready to leave school.
Education begins at birth and con
tinues until death.
An education, of course, prepares
us to secure a position with a pay
cheque attached. It pays dividends
in dollars and cents. High School
Graduates receive double the wages
received by Public School
uates. More than half
men achieve earnings in
income brackets.

helps us to function smoothly and
efficiently on all cylinders, not only

Mount Carmel
Has Fine Record
By A. S. Garrett
in The London Free Press
Religious and educational
deavor in the Mount Carmel com
munity have been commemorated
in the present year as it marks the
90 th anniversary of the building
of the original log church, the 85tli
of the construction of the first log
school, the 80th of the frame church
and frame school which followed
them, and the 60th of the erection
of the church now in use.
* * * *
The hamlet of Mount Carmel, at
tractive and substantial, is located
on the township line between Mc
Gillivray and Stephen, which also
forms part of the boundary between
the counties of Middlesex and
Huron. Mainly settled by stalwarts
from the Emerald Isle, the com
munity has always been predomin
antly Roman Catholic in faith.
At least one authority credits
Timothy Coughlin with having been
the first settler in the vicinity of
Mount Carmel, about 184 8. The
original church, of log construction,
was put up in 185 7, on a site about
a mile and a quarter east of the
cross-roads. In 1867, this was fol
lowed by a frame structure which
served for a couple of decades. As
near as the writer can ascertain,

A Canadian Press dispatch from
Tilbury says that William A. Schra-
mek and his six stalwart sons, are
dredging some 480 acres of virgin
marshland near Grand Bend for an
all-out venture in peppermint oil
production. Right how the Schra-

Growing of peppermint for distil
lation of peppermint oil, a medici
nal preparation for which there is
always a market in Montreal, was
introduced In Ontario during the
war when overseas sources were
cut off. Previously the supply came
from England and the United
States, Japan and Russia.
The peppermint crop looks much
like clover. It yields around (1,000
pounds of oil to every acre. The oil
does not come from the leaves or

bules under the leaves, is vaporized
by steam and then recovered by
