ATKEY - - - Editor and Publisher THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 154' The motto on Canada's coat of arms is "A 'marl usque ad mare," which, translated, means, "From sea to sea." It is an extract from the Latin version of verse eight of the '72nd Psalm: "He shall have dominion also from - sea to sea, and from the river auto the ends of the earth." There is a tradition that the Fathers of Con- federation derived the designation "Dominion" from this verse. -"A MA.RI USQUE 'AD MARE' SOME REFLECTIONS ON CANADIAN UNITY 'Since its •c'onquest by the Britft in 1759, Canada has undergone a steady -advance in her political and constitutional status. ,Originally regarded ss nothing more than one of the colonies—inositly, covered with ice and snow—of rtkte faxifluug British Empire, it now has become one of the , autonomous states wiltd►ln the British Commonwealth of Nations, possessing the right and responsibility of con- dueting. her own affairs in. any. way she may see fit. Practically the only tie she now has with the Mother Country and her sister nations in the Commonwealths, is the symb'o'lism of the Crown by which His Majesty the King reigns, not' only ass King of the United Kingdon, but also as King of Canada, Australia, South Africa, Niew Zealand, and after August 15, of Hindustan and Pakistan: During the recent war, Canada made rapid strides in world affairs, and in this postwar era she has taken her place as one of the le'adhig "middle" powers of the world, while, at the same time, her wealth, production and trade have placed her in the front ranks of 'all nations. But although Canada is recognized as tiding a sovereign nation in her ownright, Canadians still are not ,convinced that her progress toward unity within herself has kept pate with her importance as a player on the world stage. And perhaps we, as Canadians, are justified in asking ourselves a few pertinent, and albeit, disturbing questions. Does our "unity" outweigh our "lack of unity"? Do Canadians the country over give enough time and. thought to solving the problem of unity if such a problem exists? Do they feel that unity is worth fighting for and sacrificing for? Do they realize that the attainment of complete unity in this young naton is entirely dependent on the ability of Canadians to set a goal and strive for at ---to adopt a policy wholeheartedly of "give-and-take"? Most Canadians possibly are suffering from sectionalism and blind adherence to local loyalties. That is a natural attitude to take, astd many national precedents could be quoted We need go no further than Great Britain and the United States—our two nearest and dear- est relatives—to witness the same principles in operation. We are situated near enough to the latter country to know just how deeply laid are the prejudices of the South and the North and the East and the West, and how magical the words "state rights" are itn many parts of it. And we know that it is the height of folly and a faux pas of the first order to mistake a Scotsmen for an Englishman or refer to Great Britain as "England"! A similar 'aptitude in Canada is to be expected and most certainly should not be considered as dangerous nor as the prelude to national disintegration. Benefitting by the obvious mistakes of others, Canadians should seek to travel the high road to national unity with all pos- sible speed. r; :. 'r ' ,.,z4•• The primary requisite of national unity its that Canadians' should learn to understand tache other and each other's problems. If one section of the country is faced with economic difficulties, then it should be the deep concern of every other part of the nation to see that such difficulties are solved as quickly aspossible.trad. In other words, opportunities for inter -provincial should be developed systematically, for it stands to reason Hiatt it ill a decidedly unhealthy situation for one part of the leouatny'to prosper while another suffers the pangs of poverty. How can Canada .attain a greater degree of "Canadianitm" in other than the economic phases? ,It is patent that in a democracy the individual possesses in- herent rights of freedom of speech and 'action, and of worshipping as he alone, sees fit. And in Canada, par- ticularly, where people of so many races and religious faiths live side by side, it is extremely imvportrant that this democratic principle be stoutly maintained. Tolerance, hi this respect, is the essence of true greatness. Baking Just yesterday, seven eager, young p Canadians arrived in this district and were alb tted to ;faaimers in this county to help in the harvest fields. Previously this year, young men had comae from the Maritimes and from Western Canada, all bent on being of -'service to their fellow -Canadians in Ontario, And, later on, when harvesting operations in Western Canada are running alt full blast, there will be a reciprocal move- ment from Ontario, Quebec and other parts of the country to provide assistance in the completion of an undertaking of mutual benefit. This type of reciprocation can have meting but a good, effect in strengthening national ties. The influence of travel can be stnpendous. With the opening up of new highways, the inter -provincial tourist industry will develop 'gradually, and serve to •get Canadians better acquainted witih each other. The rail. - way's and steamships will do their important tare, Travel results in more sympathy ,and understanding of the other fellow's problems. And dt migl it be added that the read- ing ead. tg of books and articles dealing with travel in and the, history of various sections of the nation, ,also as a great Early Histor. y (By Nerissa a )camel, ,Clinton in London Free Press) From etude publications and news- papers n such history may be gleaned as de shown by a report of a Teachers' Association meeting held in Clinton in July of the year 1876, as printed in 'the Journal of Education of the same year. "The senzli-annual meeting of the Huron Teachers' ,Association was held in Clinton on Friday and Saturday, 1876, with. J. R. ;Miller, inspector of public schools for West Huron Meth° chair. Considering the state of the roade the meeting was well attended, more than 100 being present" "Honorable Adam Croaks, new minister of •education, was present at all sessions of the meeting and made himself very popular with the teach- ers". "Friday afternoon, Mr. Gregory, of Exeter, gave a paper •on `Ratio and Proportion' after a brief address by :3 r. Crooks. Then. Mr. Dewar, impeder .of .East' Huron, gave an address on praitieal points suggested by Isis inspeotoral visits." "In the evening the Honorable Mr. Crooks delivered a public ,address to a very large and attentive audience in the Clinton Town Hall. The mayor Mr. A. S. Fishes', was in the chair, The minister explained that his visit was to show his sympathy with the teachers in •then• arduous and im- portant labors and to become ac- quainted with :the practical working of the present law and regulations in order to be better able to judge what further changes aright be necessary. A large part of his address was devot- ed to comparing our school law with that of the ILS.A. sand Great Britain" Saturday morning: 'Mr•. D.

Inter -provincial visiting and 'appreciation might be placed on a more permanent lal'nd better organized basis, if the educational authorities ui the various provinces co- operated in a comprehensive scheme to exchange students during the regular school term or the vacation period. Differences of language could be overcome mudh more readily than most people night realize. An excellent example of the success of such a plan is that provided by the summer school. operated by the University of Western Ontario each year at Trois Pistoles, Quebec. It is a reciprocal venture, English- speaking students living in French-speakeiing homes and thus learning the French language firsthand, and French- speaking students coming from all parts of Quebec for contact with the English-speaking section. Me plan has worked most effectively and might well be adopted else- where where similar 'Circumstances arise. These are only a few homely reflections on the subject of Canadian unity, and we pare well aware that reany other ideas might be advanced. But how true it is that, basically, Canadian unity may be enhanced best through understtding, co-operation ,and appropriate action! The studious application of these three principles is one of the greatest needs of Canada today.
