SELECTING A VOCATION All sngless of education stave been discussed 111 T'oront'o this week at the annual meeting of the Ontario IltlLica Lionel Association, What conies of all that is, said we do not know; the Association has no Mond - 100 as far as -legislation is concern- ed; it 'can recommend but has no Dower to enforce Its t'ecommenda- B3ons, There wa; something said about linking a better selectiolt of hove who are intending ::o enter indus- trial life, and one cannot argue against that because the view is reatsonable. The trouble comes in making such a desire or theory workable, It would be quite Poe- wible to select a dozen boys in a secondary school who might express :he wis11to become plumbers. Thy my�ht ie given training 'whirl' wound start them in that direction, 1(1(1 :incl) training might also indi- cate that .the boys were in a tine far which they were suited.` But when their schooling ends the trouble is so find places which will be ready to au•ept the services of ,these boys. They have !mon properly trained in a primary knowledge of the busi- ness: they 111re it and wish to ecus • those, hu; the chances are they may bare to turn to something where ,awry con flail a chane' to go to work and for which their training .lues not essentially tit them, That has, happened a good tinny times p113171tlarly in the lust sew=n or eight years, but It is no adegnafe eoasmn for not keeping on with the e'0'ort of trying to attach young :nen to lines. of worts tor which it ha, been shown they are fitted. When we experience a period of In - dint Hai starkness it has born found shut selection or 'mentions is at a to -ver ebb than at any other time. The youth out or school and raced with the mec•cs(;ry of going to work is not to a position to exer- else selection. The stubborn fa^t 'hat he must final something to do as smut as possible outweighs his •ic8:'e to follow some line he hos had in mind and lot which he oily have been partially prepared. 'When all the educationists gather n To- ronto we. might expect some light on that 10W(311101 point, but so far we Have net Seen the solution Sng- gesled.

Opponents of Government Control concentrate their attacks on our industry. This alone, to any ?thinking roan, is enough to throw doubts on their ,wisdom. If the cause of true temperance is their object, rather than a tactical advantage, they surely should not devote so large a part of their time to attacking the mildest of alcoholic beverages, and one which is not habit-forming. But because a democratic law makes our product available by the glass to working men, under Govern- ment Control, the opponents of the present system seek to drive drinking underground—where they do not see it. The truth is, that the individual is less likely to commit abuses in public, and the abuses are more easily correctable. In fact, licensed hotels are very seldom the scene of excess. Because an intoxicated man is seen near a hotel—it does not follow that be acquired the means of intoxication in a hotel. But it does provide the unthinking people with a useful text ... if they do not bother to prove their conclusions.

On the contrary, we believe that if beers , are more easily obtainable than distilled liquors and are sold in different conditions, there is reasonable ground to expect that the taste of those who wish to drink will be diverted to the lighter and less harmful beverages.
