Italian tualitseatII II, etts,s7rodueed Italian educational circles 'are deeply interested in a pamphlet by the famous educator a-nd writer Senathr Raffaelli Garofalo on "Edu.. eational Methods in Latin and Brit- ish CivilizationsY' He begins by saying that it need not be regarded as lack of patriot- ism because he questions the results of Latin education as manifested by his own race. He says that there is no qaestion but that the , English methods of education produce a higher level of morality thari any other in the world, The Italian methocla, on the other hand, sirb• duce an amount of impulsiveness which leads to the perpetration of crimes, whieh are prevalent in Italy, The English method is directly op- posed to the Italian one,which is incessantly dwelling on the indi- viduality of the child and calibrates in the end a lack and self-control and an increase of the same impul- siveness whicliis a trait mOlit, akin to the savage and the animal. The Senator says that English education which does nothing to de- velop individuality has produced the most individual individuals in the world. He asks why the qual- ities of fortitude, self-control and co-operation which distinguished the ancient Romans . have been transferred to the Anglo-Saxon race and ascribes the national faults of the modern Italian to modern ian methods which place individ- ualism above discipline. The exist- ence *1 the Black Hand in Amer- ica, he says, is the outcome of this education of non -discipline.

A Bfg Municipal Enterprise. If the City of Toronto's negotiatione with ffir William Mackenzie for the purclutee of the Toronto Street Railway and the To. root° Electric Light Company go through, It will inaugurnte one of the largeet ex. perimente in public ownership which, have been tried in Canada. The deal involves approximately 1530,000,009, of which about, 722,000,000 is for the Street Railway and about 78,000,000 for the Electric Light Com- Ileyor Hocken and Sir William Sleeken. zie have now come to terms whieh they have agreed to submit to their principale. What, the axed tetras of this agreement are is not known yet. Sir 'William on hie part will submit the proposal to his share. holders. The Mayor before leaving for a holiday trip in Newfoundland, aleo pawed the agreement over to expert valuators who will cheek up the figuree, after which it is to be considered bY the Provineial Hydro Electric Cotninieeion. Just what HOY,. Adam Beek and his col- leagues will say to it is somewhat -diffi- cult to guess. They may, come to the oonolusion that 'the deal prejudices the riehte of the other municipalities outeide Toronto now being carved by the Hydro Electrio CommiaMon. If they come to ouch o deCIEdOn they may arouse the hostility of Toronto's Mayor, who apparently be. lieves that the deal will be a good thing for everybody, and that if Toronto wante to spend her money buying up these local concerns it In nobody's bueinese but her 01011. 20 //yen Blesoss ammieeion give their unDroval it will help the reception which the proposal willsreceive from tho eltizene, for of course the whoie proposi- tion has to be voted on by the ratepayers before it earl co into effect.

The Toronto Tolegeain early ehowed its colors and is 05000106' the whole business with cher- acteristio vehemence. The chief critieism from a Toronto view point is that the price quoted by Sir Wit- bam Mnekeezie is exceseive. The Toronto Street Railway frastehise bee but eight more Amara to run, 'and though the cont. pany la making minim profits at the rate of about 71,500,000 a year, 722,000,000 is a big prlee to pay for an eight-year fran- chiee. In 1921, when the franchlee comae to an end, the Oity will get for nothing what it ie milted to pay something for now, though at the same time It hue to be Te - membered that there ie the nossibilitY 1921 of a big argument over what the city will be obliged to pay for the plant and equipment of the railway even after Its franchise is exhausted. From a provincial point of view the sit- uation Is complioated by reneon of the fact that the Street RailwaY and the Elec. trio Light Company both have long term contracte with the Electrioal Develooment Company, the chief competitor of, the Provinical Hydro Electric Commiesion. Before the matter ie finally settled there will no doubt be comb wartn discuasion and perhaps intereating developments, LOW, 0011rage000 mayors would not have tackled such a big problem, but Mayor Hocken from tho hegineing of his term has seemed determined th make his regime 'pie" f'mefillit'trff' trisg 'Englishmen.
