Speaker's Chair Gift
of United A iDgdo I
A despatch from Ottawa says:—
Friday, May 20, has been filmed as the

Kingdom branch of the Empire Par- a
Barn entary Asmein thole Former
Speaker Lowther of the British Romeo

University Summer Courses.
O'ne sof the most hopeful signs in
the educational world is the increas-
ing demand on the part of teachers
In service for 'summer covens that
will enable them to improve their
academie 'en'd profes'sion'al training
This demand seems be be based on the
feeling that a new era is 'dawning in
education and that those who have
ambition for advancement must be
prepeeed to take •advanta:ge et the
larger eppoa'tenities that will be
evadlable. Again, progressive teachers
must realize ah'at a crime it is to
waste the long two months' vacation
"just loafing"; they know that a heal-
thy persom does not require eight
weeks of "rest"; and they are also
fully aware that no successful man or
woman in an•y walk of life can afford
to cease to be a student.
To provide facilities for teachers
of this type the University of Toronto
conducts, for five weeks in July and
August, a summer sess'iom in arts and
pedagogy. The seminar course in arts
provides a means cf securing the B.A.
degree without attendance at the
regular university sessions, while the
course in pedagogy leads to the post-
graduate degrees of. B,Paed. end.
D,Paed. A comprehensive calendar
has been leeued, giving full particu-
lars cf both of these courses.
In offering special facilities to the
teachers of Ontario the Provincial
University is, through these teachers,
benefiting rho youth of the whsle
Province—anerety another proof; if
such were needled, of the thoroughly
democratic character of the Univer-
sity of Toronto,

By every ct or failure to act we

is to "carry on," In the spot where his

his ability, •
The outcome of hard work, of hon-
esty, of thrift, of common decency may
be allowed to take care of itself.
It is not so important to be spec-
tacular or br'tlltant. Very often the
spectacular passes like a comet's tail,
the brilliancy dies out like a fire in
straw, and the slow, safe plod'din'g,
that through thick and thin has some-
how kept on going, tells at last.
People tell us• that civilization is

That wailof pessimism 1s as old as

The men who are doing the work

on the workers with that hc'ary lie.

When the newts that Germany had b

Rhine fcr the next forty-two years,

CANADA PLACES HEAVY RE.
STRICTIOY S ON 3 IT SR, 'MIGRANTS
A deepat'eh frog» Leaden OS/me-
Not within the 'past twenty-five year's
has there bean enforced such stringent
restriction of emigration from the
'Heated Kingdom to Canada as. is now
being carried out by tate Canthdian
imrnigration officials hone, Inetruc-
tions have been lowed this week to
;mtni.gration agents throughout Great
Britain that applications from arti-
san and workmen desiring to go to
Canada mast be d'e'finitely rejected;
that those from inexperienced men
wishing to go on the 'land, and those
from experienced married agricultural
laborers moist be postponed until the
Spring of 1922, and that the only class
whope entry will be oonsiderod will be
experienced amended farm workers
desiring to go to Ontario, Manitoba
or (in a limited number of oases)
Quebec. British C1lumbia wishes net
immigranes of any kind. The effect
of this rigid enforcement of depart-
mental policy will be perceptible in
June, for wtieh month the a'toamsluip
companies have accepted no thia4-
cla0s bookings to Canada, thougia tbis
ninth had seen a large exodus, and
it had been expected that immigration
from Britain to Canada would read/
record figures this year,
In view of the Dominion's polio,,
es ind1eatock, it is extremely doubtful
how Ilon. Mr. Meigltesh will et the
June conference view the proposal on
its agenda for joint Bsitig'h and Do-
minion loans to assist isnnuigration
other than that of ex -service men.
Canada has so far consistently re'fus'ed
to pay new citizens to comp to her.
Other Dominions have not been so un-
eo» promising in the past, New Zea-
land, however, which a few menthe
ago announced that it would assist in
the payment of prospective settlers'
passages, so as to meet the competi-
tion of the shorter voyage to :mail,
has now withdrawn its offer, and is
permitting no immigration of any
Sort.

Silesian Rad Faith,
There ism
the making of first-class
trouble in the tSilesl'an situation.
Practically every nation having any-
thing to de with the matter is being
charged with ugly treachery and had
faith. Italy e•ee'ms to be the one ex-
ception, The Italian ferns followed
the orders off bhe Entente Ceuncil that
put them in Silesia. They fought the
invasion and they fought to hurt.
•Germany 'ch'arges that France and
England knew all about the Polish
plans and did nothing. It is passing
strange that Warsaw should know no-
thing about the trouble far two clays
and not till after the Poles had taken
about all the territory they could hope
to he'll. There are indications that
the French are not avcro to teeing
the Poles 'held all of Silesia they want,
The broad outline's of the situation
are these. The Peace Treaty provided
for a ptebis:cite to determine whether
Silesia should be German or Polish.
The balloting was duly held with
plenty of charges of trickery and bets
faith on both sides. It was a sort oaf
nixed victory for the German's, the
sum total of votes favoring Germany
by about two to one, with the Poles
carrying many of the agricultural dis-
tricts and mining centres.
The pl'ebisoite was h'cld late in
March. No rulings or interpretations
on the vote have been handed down by
the Entente. The Poles, the losers in
the balloting, start a surprise move-
ment that is a mixed invasion, insur-
rection and riot. Such authority as
:the F,.J,stente claims in Upper Silesia
has been flouted, Entente forces have
been driven out .by the Poles. Adalbert
Korfattty, a sort of imitator of bhe
Ibelian D'Annu:nzio, who was ht
charge for Poland during the pleb-
iscite, is leading the inva'dcrs and riot -
ere. FIe openly defies the Entente,
says that he is ready for a guerrilla
warfare against Entente troops and
will mainbain An army of occupation
of 30000 uten.
Silesia Wray be largely Slav and
probably is. The Germans may have
wen by trickery, and they probably
chid. Batt the manner of whining should
be determined bj the authority that
authorized the balloting and not one
al! the interested parties. A Polish
adrventurer should not be allowed to
dictate what shall bo done.
On the face off the situation, Ger•
nosey is right an a1aiit3img all this con-
stitutes a violation of the Treaty. It
is on the point that the Entente and
not Po'Pned shall snake the tinct ad-
justment that the Entente must assert
itself. Ordbr must be restored. in
Silesia., the ootmtry put hook where
it was before the Polish move, or the
Entente mast admit that it canter
cntorce its own ordcre,, or that it done
not core to do 'so in certain instataseos,
