A traffic officer fur the County of

view is obstructed, its well as of ex-

prevent accidents.
The officer will also be concerned
with cars driving without tail light,
with one head light, with, glaring
headlights, or with • 'defective brakes;'
etc. • •
Nearly all reckless driving is, the
result of thoughtlessness, and of in-

ILLITERACY IIsi' CANADA
We are in receipt of voltune 3 of
the last census of Canada.' and one
of the compiled tables deal's with illi-
teracy or lack of knowledge, among
Canadian children. The figures prove
conclusively that where the children
do not attend school the cause is,
largely, due to illiterate and careless
parents. Child labor is given as the
second greatest factor, in children not
getting an education. With children
of Canadian -born parents 2.66% in
this country are not able to read and
write though neither of their parents
are illiterate. Where the mother is
illiterate this percentage increases ,to
16.59; where the father is illiterate
the % is io.21 and where both are
illiterate it increases to 28.21%, With
children -born of European parentage
the per centage of boys and girls un-
able to write is only :1,35 where! the
parents, have had the advantage of a
primary education, but where the par-
ents have never been to school the
per tentage of illiteracy of children
is over four times as great, or 17.28
per, cent.
We have often heard it remarked .
that those who` have been deprived
of a;.public school education arc' the
more anxious that their children
should at leastget a rudimentary ed-
ucation but this 'is niit borne out by
the census returns.

Canadian citizenship that. great fusing
