THE FARMER'S SON.
He Must Follow His "N'aturalBent'
Say Educatioriists.
Authorities tell us that every `1ie-
m,an being is so constituted that there
is a partioular line at work atwhieh
the indivdual will reach a maximum
of efficiency, The "modern tendency
is to provide such education for boys
and girls of the farm as will result in
the majority of them remaining oi]'
the farm.
However, it is not in accord with•
+natural laws or the best interest's of
general education for a Government
or the head of any institution to aim
at keeping - nil farm bays on the soil
by any separation of tide agricultural
institution that means a discord
among educational forces;

goad for separation of Manitoba Agri'
cultural College from Manitoba IInt

ship would prevent farm boys from
Wing up the agricultural course in
favor of some other line of study,.
should ponder what Obarles Dickens
has to say about education in general,
and "the natural bent" in particular,
Or, better, they should have heard
James L. Hughes, superintendent of
sehouls for Toronto, at the annual.
convention of, the Manitoba Teachers'
Association recently, when he spoke
on "Dickens as an Educator." Men.
tion was made of Dickens' opinion of
the fathers of his clay, who decided
as their -children were born into the
world what occupation they should
follow; no regard was given. to "the
natural bent,"
Dickens realized that no man should
undertake to select a vocation for am
other, lie argued that even fathers
were not capable of choosing a line of
work for their youthful sons, each of
whom had a "natural bent."
Principal Black wisely argues that
it is the object of his college to send
as many as possible of the sons of.
the soil back to the farm; but at the
same time he makes arrangements to
place as many as possible of the grad-
uates in positions away from their
farms. This is what creates suspicion
a5 to what is the real object in sep-
arating the agricultural college from
the university.
If good reason or sound argument
had been put forth, there would have
been little or no objection to the
move. However, since a relationship
was established a few short years ago,
no change should have been made
without good and sufficient reason.
At all events, this is the age of union
and harmony of educational interests,
rather than of separation and dis-
cord, '
Train your sons to be good farmers
if you can, but don't forget that each
one has a "natural bent." -Montreal

THE WESTERN .FAIR.
The Making. of Munitions.
"The deliveries of munitions from
Ontario are running far behind
the quantities promised, and we
are seriously apprehensive it the
existing conditions cannot he flet
tered.
Such is the ,statementof the. :Im-
perial Munitions ' Board to the Pro-
vincial Organization of Resources
Conunittee, which has-been conduct-
ing, a preliminary investigation into
labor conditions in munition plants
in Toronto, • Hamilton and other On-
tario cities.
'flee, ntanagemettt of the Western
Fair Association have placed an order'
tor a complete new outfit Of the lat-
est and most up-to-date self -register-
ing coin turnstiles for both Du atlas
street and King street entrances.
This year instead of the public hav-
ing to crowd for the purchase of
tickets all that will be necessary is
to provide yourself with a 25 -cent
Canadian coin and pass through ,the
turnstile. Instead of ticket sellers at
the gates there will he , a .change
booth for the aecomodation of those'
requiring the necessary silver quarter
as,tbat is the only coin that will
operate the machine.
The management hope by this new
arrangement to save annoyance to
their visitors which • usually ceeurs
in the crowding for tickets. There
will be a separate gate provided for
children and those holding admission
tickets oC any kind, -
The dates for the big Exhibition

This shortage in production has
been largely due to the fact thrtt
there, has been a very inadequate sup-
ply of tither suficiently skilled• to
make deliveries effective. 'This has
itamilered' factories turnings ,steel
forgings and component pails, which,
in turn, have adversely affected oper-
ations at the machining and assent
Ming plants. But these, 'also, have
been unable to Make deliveries as
scheduled; even when they aro fully
supplied with forgings anti ro'nlien-
ant parts, largely owing to the
shortage of labor.
The Provincial Committee, there -
form, in bringing those:facts to the
attention of the public, desired :
'1. '1'o call the attention of all
those engaged in the munitions and
allied industries to the importance
of their service and the great re-
sponsibility resting upon them as in-
dividuals to eq -operate and do all in
their power to secure a steady and
increased supply of munitions for
our forces at the front.
2,. '1'n urge upon.all those who are
ineligible for overseas service and
who are anxious to voluntarily do
their best in this great strut le,,
(especially those now engaged in non-
productive work or in the production
of commodities which are luxuries
more a less,) to consider employ+'
most on munitions .as their next best
service to going overseas.
8. To urge Women's Emergency
Corps to register women for muni-
tion work or for work which will
release men for the munitions indus-
try: .
There is no need to emphasize the
importance of the highest possible
production of munitions-. The lives
of our boys and the surcess of their

merits from the highest authorities in
Great, Britain and from the front
beat' no small tribute to the part
that muuition workers are playing in
bringing the war to a successful con-
clusion,
The movement to mark the ram-
parts erected in 1812 by the British
soldiers in what is now the site of the
Hamilton, Ont,, Cemetery, by the
erection of a suitable memorial tablet
or monument, received great encour-
agement at a conference held recently
in that city among the committee of
the cemetery, -board and deputations
from the Canadian Club and the
Wentworth Historical Society. The
spot which it is proposed to distin-
guish is where the British soldiers,
commanded by Gen. Vincent, threw
up ramparts to defend themselves
from the Americans under Gen. Dear-
born. It has been the intention of
the cemetery board to marhr the place
in some way, but as it is desired to.
put up a more pretentious memorial
than the board can afford, other or-
ganizations have been asked to co-
operate in the scheme.
If the plans now in mind are car-
ried out the memorial will be unveiled
on the fifth of June next year, when
the centennial of the War of 1812 is
being observed, and on the following
day the interested societies will go
to Stoney Creek to celebrate the anni-
versary of the battle at that place.
Efforts will also be made to bring the
annual meeting of the Ontario His-
torical Society to Hamilton about the
time the monument is unveiled, so
that the members of the society may
take part in the ceremonies.
An Experienced Sailor.
Captain Fred. Lardner, of the (sable
ship, Mackay -Bennett, which has just
completed a most trying duty, was a
famous river pilot in London. He
was known as "Shirty" because of
his spotless shirt -front. Captain Fred,
has had much experience at sea. He
was on the Amber, another cable ship,
when its boats went to the rescue of
the Utopia's passengers at Gibraltar
in 1801. A cable ship's boats and
grew are well adapted for rescue work,
Much of their work is done in small
boats on the open sea. Hence, when
the word came to the Amber's crew
that the Utopia had struck, they knew
exactly what to do. The boat of which
Lardner, then second officer, was in
charge saved nine lives, and Lardner
received a medal front the Britis
Humane Society and another from
the Italian Government.

Efforts to use :women in munition
plants are meeting with good suc-
cess. In a number of places women
have registered, and are waiting to
be called to woric as soon' as neces-
sary arrangements can be made. In
Welland, for instance, 05 women re-
sponded last week to the call of a
factory there which ' needs i5fi to -
200 Women: 1''ifty percent. of those
who answered the call had never
been in regular ettiployntent before.
Wages in munitions plants should.
be such as to attract a large rinser
of workers. Four to seven, and even
ten dollars a day is not uncommon,
for men employed on the piece-
work basis.
