_General Observations j
The glorious. moonlight of the past
week was a big rival of the brilliant
hues of the Canadian emibl'em, the
maples.,
**
The fine weather of October does
much to condone for the cold wet
season of August and September.

The Toronto Globe should send its
horticulturaleditor back to school
forinstruetion in botany. It • fre-
quently publishes in the fall of the
year a statement that "this is a most
wuuderi-ul season," elfr;So anti So.
from some place has picked a quart
of raspberries anti sent them to the
Globe_ as proof. A novice in fruit
growing would inform this editor that
fruit grew n > has made as vast strides
as rose culture, since he was a boy.
Not many yearsago people believed
that teotes conid only be grnwn in the
month of Tune. Now very one ia

that 1h: ;,seem anti ripen their fruit
dame, the months of September, Oc-
tober and November as well as July,
and the season really has nothing to
do with what the Globe calls a
phenomenon,
*a*
It is rather to be deplored that the
board of .g;orernors of the Westeru
,t yere:ty hate made a burlesque
of the Convocation for the opening
exercises
by conferring the h+==thrai•v I
" .n
degreeshe a•i .ter ga.edene, like a
rat beef exhibition. Mucic more dig-
nity would have attemled this func-
tion if t �a
the Convocation I•izlt of the
new ,building had been used instead
of a public dance ]tali. One would
think it teas the initiation of a num-
ber of, irresponsible boys, than the
recognition of merit of men who have
attained distinction in their different
walks of life.

It would appear that the Adoles-
cent pump is forcing tou ]Many can-
• didates into the Normal School, and I
Colleges. .A few weeks ago the col-
leges were gasping in their efforts to
swallow the influx of freshmen. In
the Normal Schools the principals
were aghast at the crowding, and
now on top of that the teachers are
becoming alarmed that these new
candidates will affect their sal'ardcs,
and some of their conventions last
week passed resolutions urging Abet
candidates for the Normal be care-
fully weeded (perhaps they meant
wed) out.

be encouraged. Each day a problem
would be brought before the children
to be solved, He ebowed a number
experiments that every teacher
could make in her own school. His
address was greatly 'appreciated. by
the teachers.
Miss Elva :Little, of Leadbury, took
up the subject of Entrance History,
and handled it skilfully and with
profit to the audience, She claimed
the •p'ioture ineehod the best to use.
The children are interested in betid-
ing up the lesson. Biography is valu-
able but not enough used We should
not miss the main ideas do History;
co-operation is what counts. The
school library should contain more
good 'books on History.
FRIDAY.
Dr, Field spoke on the new regula-
tions. He said there were no_sweep-
ing changes. A slight change was
noted in the History course. I•ie
spoke of the giving of homework.
Hon, Mr. Ferguspn is very much
against too much homework No
homework should be given below the
Second Class.
The election of officers for next
year took place, which resulted as

gave an address un the general con-

sound advice to the teachers. Ile
said the minor little worries were to
be looked over and the greater amu

in view. He spoke of the influence

FRIDAY.
After the opening exercises the
auditors' report was presented. This
showed a handsome balance to the
credit of the teachers. Mr. Marty'
then took tltis third subject, "Im-
portance of Play in the Child Life:"
He went. back to the days of the
:Athenian games to show what a great
part play had in child life at that
time and, coming to the present, he.
thought it should still occupy the
plate it once did. It should lead to
development, physically, mentally and
spiritually. ' Children under six years
could not sit stilt longer than thirty
seconds at a time, hence teachers
should take this Fact into considera-
tion in the class .room, and on the
playground know that play Is the
tool of child development. '`Well
planned games lead to regular at-
tendanee, pit:actuality and tend to re-
move that roughness in behaviour. I.Ie
advised teachers tokeep young and to
take as lunch interest in the'games t<_

Miss M. MacKenzie, of Marnock,
gave a paper on Oral Composition in
Junior Classes. She recommended
the reading of short stories in

same: in written exercises. • She
would have pupils read each other's
stories. With advanced classes she
recommended reproducing whole
stories of books and autobiographies.
The paper showed careful thought.
Miss :A. Geiser, of Hobnesville,
gave a paper. on the teaching of Agri-
culture and in it showed her method.
She would, as far as possible,. Juice

President, I. F. Hellmuth, LC,
Governrnent Control is People's er��l� s Control
PrilE people of Ontario—not any narrow or isolated section
of them—but the people of Ontario as a whole—have certain
ideals of public and private life. British tra i
us these. d tions have given
These ideals are well understood.
Lawlessness, disrespect for law, lack of self-restraint, and
excesses of all kind find no approbation in Ontario,
Government Control, in the present plebiscite, is simply a
mandate by the people to the Government to proceed with legis-
lation which, -while dealing with and as far as possible elimi ating
, excesses in drinking, will restore respect for law, and recognize
the right of the citizen to regulate his private life in accordance
with the principles of moderation and sanity.
Prohibition is a denial of such a mandate. It consists of
an absolute order of "MUST NOT".
•
That it undermined private and public life -that it made
lawlessness profitable—that it took revenues which should be
used for the public good -that it created evils harder to subdue
thanh
those it pretended to abolish—was the verdict of Alberta,
Saskatchewan and Manitoba within the last year. They had
tried' Prohibition for seven years and found that period .quite
long enough.
Of courser the verdict was not rendered without a fight.
Just as here, the people were told of the wonders of prohibition.
They were told how rich they had become, how sober they were,
how crime had vanished, how low taxeswere and how ha
and prosperous :everybody was. "Im: artial" writer happy `
p s wrote
articles in the newspapers, "unbiased" speakers pmade speeches.
But the people were not moved. They knew better.
Then they aced. Just as soon as thea opportunity arose
pP y
they voted for Government Control._ The Prohibitionists tried
to prevent the people from expressing their views. Everywhere
they said that a vote was unnecessary and sought to avoid one.
Just as here.
But the people prevailed. They decided that, through
their Governments, they would take control themselves.. g
Vote for Government Control as follows:
i
Are you in, favour of. the
continuance of The Ontario
Tem ?
Temperance Act.
Are you in favour of the
