EMPIRJE LEADERS MEET IN CONFERENCE Developenents Arising From Malo-Geeek Dispute Ex plained by Cecil, A despatch from London says:— The, Imperial Conference met on Thursdayin' the morning and after- noon. The Marquis of Curzon, For- eign Secretary, opened : the session: with, a 'statement of the political de- velopments es 'a result of the Janina murders which brought on the recent Italo-Grecian crisis. Lord Robert -Cecil' followed with an -address on the League of Nations, dwelling in detail onthe developments arising from the dispute betweessItaly and Greece. There was some criticism expressed in the subsequent discussion, it is understood, hat the: general tenor of the proceedings 'was an indication of the -strosigeat desire on the part of each. of the Goiernmente represented at the Imperial Conference to give the fullest support to the League. The Canadian viewpoint expressed was that.as'regards European affairs, the League wasthe best agency for whatever' mediation . might be neces- sary. Sir Lerner Gouinwarmlythank- ed Lord Robert Cecil for his assistance at the Geneva assembly in regard to the Canadian objections to Article 10 of the League covenant.- Sir. Lamer outlined the history of the Canadian opposition to the article in its orifi= real fornl, remarkingthat the Right lion. C. J, : Doherty, former Minister of Justice, had originally only, accept- ed the article under reserve. He added that the interpretative clause, meeting the Canadian objections to the original article and submitted to the recent as- sembly of the League, might be cone sidered as having been accepted by the various nation^; in view of the fact that,only;Per.sia had voted against it. • When e the :.:;;Imperial' Conference Meets again on Monday the Marquis of Salisbury, Lord President of the Council, will initiate the discussion on Empire defence. Lord Salisbury's statement will deal, it is expected, with -defence generally. Colonel L. C. Amery, First Lord of the Admiralty, will subsequently deal with the prob- lem of naval defence.

Promptness. What is there to be admired in the conduct of that man or woman who habitually keepsother people waiting? It is an unlovely feature of a certain temperament that affects' to 'despise the simple, homely virtue of being an time. Yet why is it smart to be late? It requires no brains, no skill, no tal- ent of any, sort, to put _in an appeal•- ance after others have assembled and business is begun. Recipes for success are numerous and advice to young people on the gentle art of getting ahead is abun- dant But a commencement speaker or ;any other• uj lifler''would rather talk: about patriotism, or honesty, or. thrift, or any other resounding moral topic, than deal with *such a prosaic, homely, nsechanical matter as keeping one's appointments to the minute.' _ If we haven't time, as we are for ever telling one another, it. is because we waste so much time—our own time andeether people's time—in being late.

' L / WHY Lo, FANNY 1=LAeFek Furry; AN' DICK �`-` JJJJ✓✓ 17UMt• umvy Cripples at School. ., One of the pphenoniona le the educational development of r;ment years is the provision of special OUP, 04 and specia`l'eciroole for little people of special needle Wo have been wits nosing the Setting up of auxiliary classes for mentally retarded children, outdoor elastics for the tuherculoue, eight -saving "ciasees for those ivheee eyes are weakened, and we have for ,many years had' eehoole for the blind, and ,schools,' for : the deaf and dumb. Is anything idnfor e erip•. pled child? Or bedong orippoeied children'fitth Srttisfactorily into the life and work of the ordinary school? Those who have had long and inti- mate `experience. with crippled chil- dren are of the opinion that a crippled child who is` able to do so profits by attending an ordineey school. Butit is also acknowledged by these experts that a large proportion of cripple ehildr°en aro not really able to attend an ordinary school. They need the special, care which only a specialized ed class can give' thele. The advantages of the special school or class are obvlous. In the first place -transportation to and from school is provided for the pupils.. In the secdnd place they' are given remedial oxer- ases at stated intervals during class hours: as prescribed b the doctor. Then, too, they are'under the super- vision of a teacher who is specially trained' to conduct the studies of physically handicapped children. Hours aro set aside for -rest. Hot lunches are prepared for the children under the direct.on of a dietitian who knows the needs of the pupils..CIass- room equipment is specially suited to the requirements of the cripple, seats and desk tops are adjustable, aisles are tirade wide so as to permit a com- fortable disposal of little braced. limbs without interfering with' the progress of anyone who wishes to walk up or down - the' aisle. A school built ex- pressly for. the use of crippled dhi1- dren may have not only 'classrooms, a dining -room an a kitchen, but' a sur- gical ;dressing room as well, so that children may report for dressing with- out unuecessary toss of time. The close co-ordination of school work and rem edial:activities under the joint direc- tion of teacher and doctor is an ad - vintage which of itself is enough-. to justify the establishing of :special classes for cripples; Intellectual growth in such' a: school, is not: attained at the expense of physical growth. Bot} are achieved together. There is' another advantage, how- ever, which ought not to be overlooked or minimized. The school for cripples may give to those children who need it a chance- to fit themselves' for the task of earning' a livelihood. An ex- periment of this sort has •been tried in. Montreal and has hen very setts - factory in its results. Boys and girls who attend the Montreal School 'for Crippled Children may elect:to take a commercial course, with shorthand, typewriting,' and bookkeeping. The hours of Glasswork are short enough to prevent undue fatigue, but.pupils receive a greater amount of individual instruction than is. possible in the ordinary business school,; therefore it is not surprising that. graduates of this school have been able -to take down tonin positions and compete success- fully .with graduates of other schools. This phase of the -special -school is of course a great boon to those cripples who come from homes of the poor and Io ver middle classes. - - Unfortunately the special education- al opportunities now offered in Canada to the crippled child' are. almost negli- gible. For the .most part wo let the cripple either drag himself to and from the public school or get' along at home as best he 'cap, with results that are frequently deplorable. This lack of policy is to be' regretted. The: remedy lies probably within the reach of. the ordinary citizen, Groups of men and women in other countries have been able by concerted.' effort to. make ade- quate provision for the education 61 cripples, in their own eommunity, and governments have been persuaded ;sub- sequently to take over the responsibiresponsible.ity for carrying on the activities thus inaugurated, There is. every probabil- ity that'Canadian citizens wile devote themselves to meeting' this need and that' ultimately the provision of spe- cial classes for cripples by our boards. of education will ,become a matter of course.—Dr, J.
