A GROAT REFORM MOVEMENT,;- 2 Kings 23: 1-3, 21-25; 2 Chron. 34: 29-35: 19. INTRODUCTION — We have, .1.0. the story of Josiah, that combination of forces which the world and the church lave c..rne to 12nom so well: he Man with pure hea_L, nigh purpose, and gift of leadership, the Bock inspired of God, ai.d faitheul Workmen, both artisans and ministers of the state and of religion, to carry its precepts into effect, To understand the situation in which Josiah found himself in the first twenty years of his reign one should read the story of Manasseh's reign in 2 Kings, chap. 21, ei.d of Josiah's sons who succeeded him on the throne, in 23: 31-24: 20. Or, bet- ter still, one shored turn to certain chapters of Jeremiah, whose ministry us a prophet in Judah began at this time, and who sets forth with start ling clearness its allies and its vices (see chaps. 2, 5, and 7). E. FIRST STEPS IN WELL -DOING, 2 Kings 22: 1-7; 2 Chron. 34: 1-13. Both historian. and prophet speak well of Josiah (2 Kings 22; 1-2. 23: 25; Jeremiah 22: 15-16). "Ile did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord." His character is in striking contrast to that of his father and grandfather, chap. 21. As a child of eight years he came to the throne at a time when there appears to have been an uprising of "the people of the land," people of the better sort, against the corrupt court,party which was r sponsible foe the murder of his father. For a time, and until he was old enough to bear the burdens ,f ,,tate, he must have been under the care of tutors and guardians, and they did their duty well. His naturally good dist osition was cultivated and strengthened, The historian of Chron- icles represents him as beginning his work of reform "h the eighth year of his reign 3 Chron. 34: 1-5. In the eighteenth year his workmen w.re busy at the temple nutting it into a state of repaii. It had appar- ently been much neg:ected. It is a pleasure lo read of the good relations which existed between the king, the priests, and the workmen who "dealt faithfullv." The money f.>r the nec- essary material and for wages came from the offerings of the people, and this money was put in the hands of carne.,ters and maseus of whom no reckoning was renuited because they were known to le honest men.

And finally he revived, in an impressive way, the sacred festival of the Pass- over. From Vegetable "Thinnings" Young vegetables • that are thinned out in the garden to make room for the others should not be thrown away. Young carrots, onions, beetroots, and so on may be used to make a de- licious vegetable soup; and young beetroots used with cold beans, let- tuce, and vinegar make an excellent salad. Boil • the "thinuings" till ten- der, keeping them as whole as pos- sible, then cut up the lettuce and add with the beans' and the vinegar to the beetroot. Mix thoroughly, taking care not to break the beetroot. To use "thinned -out" onions and car- rots, clean and 'cut the onions, then scrub the carrots and shell some green' peas. Scrape about a dozen' small po- tatoes, then place all together in boil- ing water and add a generous pinch of salt and pepper.. Simmer until' the. vegetables are ready, then mix in a basin one tablespoonful of flour, a piece of margarine the size.of a wal- nut, a little chopped parsley, and a pinch of pepper. Slowly add sufficient stock to bring the mixture to the con- sistency of thick cream, stirring well all the time. Pour off the water from the vegetables, then pour the mixture over them.

Manufactured glass goods to the value of nearly $25,000,000 are import- ed into England every year, mostly from Germany, Belgium, and Czecho- Slovakia. Weather reports issued from the London Meteorological Office of the Air Ministry are based upon informa- tion suppled by about 600 observing stations in Europe and Western Rus- sia. Tho Dominions, Colonies, and India import manufactured goods worth more than 33,500,00,000, while the United Kingdom's. total annual export of manufactured goods every year amounts only to 32,915,000,000.

It was found now at the opportune moment. Com- ing into the possession -" the king he regarded it from his first reading of it as the very word If. God to him a• ' to his people. He accepted it as his textbook of reform and in the years that followed he endeavored to put its laws into force. The book must have contained both •+ecepts of th law and penalties for their non- observance. Josiah's first act upon reading it was e of penitence. Its Irws had not been kept. He and his people, like their fathers, were guilty before God. He "humbled himself" as only a truly rent man e uld have done, and his penitence brought to him from >;Iuldah, the prophetess, as- surance of the m"ray of G-bd. III. A GREAT REFORM MOVEMENT, 2 Kings 23: 1-3, 21-25; 2 Chron. 34: 29-35: 19. Josiah, under th inspiration and guidance of this hook, did three things, each of which mutt have had a far- reaching effect on the life of the na- tion, He assem',led the elders of the people in Jerusalem, read to them the words of the hook, and entered with theist into a solemn covenant and en- gagement to keep what they now ac- cepted as the very laws of God. Next he had all idolatrous vessels taken out of the temple and destroyed, and all This Is the Life! Oh boy! This is the stuff.

He writes: "If you, want to derive the maxi- mum health benefit from the summer weather you must pay particular at- tention to our diet. With the altered climatic conditions it is unreasonable to expect our body machine to run smoothly on the same quantity and quality of fuel as is nocoesaty during winter. IE you do not change your diet with the season you will find' yourself listless, heavy, and inert -thoroughly unfit, in fact—during the hot spells. "The basic principle of summer di- eting is to eat an abundance of fresh. fruit and vegetables, fortunately plen- tiful and moderate in cost at this time of the year, aud..to substitute as far as possible dairy produre for flesh foods: Fruits and vegetables in the form of salads are very palatable and supply valuable mineral salts and the indispensable vitamins which have been relatively lacking in our winter diet. "For breakfast, ooffee, wholemeal bread wilt butter and honey, an egg served attractively, and raw fruit salad make up a well-balanced and sustaining meal, For lunch a large glass of mills with wholemeal biscuits and butter and a couple of apples or oranges are usually adequate while a KI 4 + cup of lemon tea will be found very &601 refreshing in the afterncou. Cheese, eggs, or ground nut dishes with fish occasionally, along with fruit and vegetable, salads tastily prepared should form the basis of dinner. "W :ter should be taken abundantly between meals, as during the hot weather the skin is very active, losing large quantities of water to keep the body cool, Insufficient intake of fluid is liable to lead to intestinal stasis. In this connection it is well to remem- ber that the cellulose or roughage present in fruits and vegetables is mildly stimulating to the intestinal function and is therefore the best laxative during spells` of heat.".

Next moisten the article whit vine- gar and rub with whiting had water, afterwards polishing with a soft cloth. In our last article four arguments, used against. consolidation, were out lined. TWo of these were discussed at some length. They were: 1. Pee. plc lose control of their schools. 2, This is the first step to take the. chit- dren off the farm. In the discussion It was shown, that the evidence did not bear out theyiti'ea that these argu- ments were correct. TWo other arguments are: 1. Con- solidat'ion is too costly, 2. That trans- portation of the children is difficult, expensiveand unpleasant for the.. children. First, as to the cost of Consolidated Schools. The averagecost per DIM], in public schools, in the Province of Ontario, in 1928, was 378.' The aver- age cost in the twenty-eight Consoli- dated ,Schools was 381. We are not quoting cents. - This would make a difference, in favor of the one -room school, ' of 33 - per child per year. The cost runs all the way, from 325.70 per pupil at Good erhani to 3140 per pupil at Dorton, in Consolidated Schools. It would *be quite easy to take the average cost per pupil in the rural schools in Ontario at 378 and show how greatly this exceeded in: the coot of eduating pupils at Dorion at 3140, On the other hand, it would be equ- ally easy,to show the very much great- er cost of to two pupils atone school in the Township of. Cavan ($650 each), as against the cost per pup-: in GooderIiam Consolidated School of 325.70. Of course arguments of this kind, where extremes are quoted, can be used to discredit any system or bolster it, up as the case may be. Taking the average, then, as a basis of com- parison, we find 378 per pupil for the rural schools of Ontario and. 381 for the Consolidated Schols as the cost of education. Witat really ought to be considered is not the cost only, but what sup- porters of Consolidated Schools get for their money. Here is an immense field for discussion. •,Without enter• ing into the merits or demerits of the graded system of ed•...ation, the fact remains that urban centres have the graded sysstem and consider that It gives better opportunities both for the pupil and the teacher. Consoli- dated Schools have some measure of Individual instruction for the various grades. In addition to this, Consoli- dated Schools provide the educational value of numbers. Mere shooling, without rubbing shoulders with other pupils, is of doubtful value. One' of the main purposes of education Is to teach children the art of living to•, gather. Schools with very small at- tendance ttendance do not provide this advan- tags of competition, team play, and a wide acquaintance with various other human beings. Another advantage from the educational standpoint lies in the fate that Consolidated Schools at- tract ttract a good class of teachers. The writer had the pleasure of visiting a number of these schools and was much impressed with the ability anti the enthusiasm of the teachers. Looking a little farther than the public school Consolidated Schools present the opportunity for the teach. ,r ing of the lower forms of high school./ A very notable example of this ad. vantage is found in the Consolidated School at Mallo•ytown. All this school there were, a year or two ago, twenty pupils taking high school work. Mallorytown is sixteen miles from Brockville, and a conservative esti. mate placed the cash cost of sending a pupil to Brockville Collegiate at $350 per year, which means that Maliorytowu was then retaining, through Its Consolidated'School, $7,000 a year that would have gone out of the community. There are other educational advan- tages, but this will indicate that Con. solidated Schools are better educe• tional institutions, than the average rural public schools. Another phase of the subject deals 'with the buildings. We are quite pre- pared to admit, In 00100 cases, Con, solidated Schools have been too elab. orate and costly in construction, but: they are good buildings, well -lighted, welhventilated, and sanitary. They have ample playground. In addition to this, the school is usually better euipped as to desks, maps, books, musical instruments, etc. Again, we would urge that those who have charge 'of the rural schools take the trouble to visit some nearby Consolidated School and get first-hand Information as to the merits of .the system and how the, school is actu- ally conducted. In our next article, we shall discuss the question of Transportation. TAKING THE FARM OUT OF THE RED 'What is the differsuce between a practical and a 'theoretical farmer?"
