Parent’s Responsibility
One '* of -the' tilings, that turn a
policeman’s jiair gray , in the winter
time is the task of keeping children
from coasting in the street. Children
continue to' sli.de out among rushing
autos—and the result in many cities
vdherjg snow>*lies on- the roadways, is
< series of tragic-accidents.
’ Ijhe, traffic' squad in an Ohio city
has thought up a. new answer1. It is
going to Arrest the . parents of -youth
ful coasters. An old city ordinance,
If'seems, .gives it the po.wer. to, do.
this,;'so the 'police are going to get
busy on it.
And this isn’t a bad idea. It’s
really up to the parent to impress on
his child the danger of coasting in
the street*, ■ * .
■ He’d interest himself in the. job
with alacrity, probably, if he knew'
that he’d be hauled-off to; court in
case Junior’ went coasting where he
shouldn’t. — (Guelph Mercury.)

HOMEWORK AND EXAMS
• Homework is closely linked up with
the examination system. But exam
inations themselves are " discredited-
Other means must be used if the
mental powers of the student are to
be accurately appraised. The truth
proba.bly, is that -examinations7 as
used to-day are not really for the
purpose’ of testing the pupil, but the
„• teacher. If a large proportion of
student^, pass/ then the teacher must
be good,' seems to be the- idea, The
natural consequences- is- ’ that the
tfeafcher who" spends much'time in en
deavor to inculcate character rather
than scholarship may be adjudged
iiicompetent. When examinations,
as. we now have them, give place to.
something better, homework will
probably.. go out of fashion.—(Winni

,f USES OLDRAZORBLADES '
There is said to be a use for every
thing if .one can find out what? it is.
And in the case of industry, the find
ing of needed, markets frequently
depends upon this discovery.' As
an illustration take oS safety razor
blades: for .the most part these have
been regarded as nothing better than
scrap metal and /the quantity that
accumulates must be very great.
Andi now a ‘solution to the problem
has been made available by an Eng
lish missionary in the Belgian Congo
who, according to cable despatches,
would be' glad, yto, have 'all the old
blades he can get. It ,appears that
the Congo natives, “yearn” for them.
■ and there is said to be “no limit to
the uses these last can find for them.
. As One instance, the missionary in.
question .explains that when there is
a death,: in a native family, the de
mand for any kind of razor blade
rises, as all the friends and relatives
of the deceased are expected .to
i/shave off their stiff and wiry hair-
Apparently, razor, blades have re
placed “moral, pocket handkerchiefs”
as England’s chief contribution, to
the heathen in darkest Africa.-^Que-

World’s Largest Bridge

Perhaps it is unnecessary to state
that the builders of this - World’s

A Grove of Trees
It was only a small grove of trees.
But standing apart from the rest of
the tree world and in a conspicuous
place it was--important. .And now. jt
has been cut down. .. After braving
the wind, blasts for years and with
standing the’ lightnii^g’s terrors so
long, it has at last been destroyed
by the hand-- of man.
There was some grand . old mon
archs in that small grove. Noble
trees, that have watched the growth
.of our little settlement.from its--in
fancy -to1 its present state.' Aye-, and
.even, long before our. little town was
dreanied of; tjie tiny seed fell and
the Saplings srarted' to grow. ■ Pe.r-
haps4 a bear scratched the bark of
one of those-'noble. tr.ees, or a moose
stood in their generous shade; ;■
: But now those old landmarks are
gqne. No more will -they’watch the,
train' coming..thundering „ in on the
■nearby railway, nor ' Will the .road
traffic pass' under the protective
shade. No more .will the robins greet
the first glimmering red of the
morning light, from the highest limb;
nor the . lonely owl at. night send out
his . solemn -call from amoijg. the
branches. For they ,are cut down!
Those who best knew them will miss
them sadly. Everyone who comes
along that way will feel the change.
Perhaps not consciously for often our
eyes do not see, but in our souls we
will feel a sense of emptiness and
'loss.-—Anne Rosendale Forsyth, Pick
