service on: the steps of St. Paul's,
similar to the great event marking the
diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria.

Coeducation field
'National Ca laltr'
British Schoolmasters Oppose
Women Teachers for
Boy's Classes
London--Peminizing of boy in the
mixed departments of British Niemen
tary schools constitutes "nothil}g
short of a national calamity" accord-
ing to a reeolrttion passed unanirnous-
ly by the National Association. of
Schoolmasters at its concluding con
ference ,at Leicester,
The .association declared that the
apiiointment of a head mistress meant
ultimately a wholly feminine staff
and resolved "fully to sustain any
member who ,on adviceof the instruc-
tion executive, refused to serve ander
a head mistress consequent upon the
reorga:uization of the elementary
school:"
Another' resolution were passed urg-
ing that It is no tin the best interests
of -education that women teachers
• should be employed at boys' schools,
or that women students . should be
trained in schools for beya. These
resolutions followed a debate in
which it 'was argued that the small-
ness of remuneration offered to teach-
ers was responclble for the fact that
members fitted for this vocation adopt-
ed other occupations.
The association, which passed these
resolutions, is one formed after, the
war, -when some thousand. of masters
broke away from the National 'Union
of Teachers on the issue of equal pay
for men and women.
"Big Navy" Propaganda
Loudon Free Press (Cons.). There
was never a sillier or more dangerous
campaign than that being waged by
"the big navy" advocates in the Uni
ted States. If the Republic wants
the biggest navy in the world that is
its own business, hut to drag in Eng-
land as the excuse is the height of
folly.

1642' minions Made -Clear
One tact which has been made clear
by the recent session of the League
of Nations at Geneva is that Canada
and every British. Dominion has a de-
finite •ancl independent function in
that body. Despite the conditions
ander which this country entered' the
League and the World .Court there
still remains in the minds of some
European statesmen the erroneous
idea that Great Britain is the spokes
man for the whole Empire.
Several episodes during the last ses-
sion brought this subject to the fore
and in such a way as to make the
position of the Dominions abundantly
clear. One of these had reference to
the World Court when exception was
taken by several European delegates
to a British Dominion being separate-
ly represented even if the question
dealt with was of paramount import-
ance to that Dominion.
Such a contention is. absolutely con-
trary to the whole basis of Dominion
inclusion in the League and the World
Court arta the British delegate, Sir
Cecil Hurst, replied very forcibly with
the statement that even if an English
judge was on the collet the Dormnious
would have the right of representation
should it be c:ealing with a ctuestion
which. directly affected their interests.
Neither Canada nor any of the self-
governing Dontinirns have ever recog-
nized the right of the Motherland de-
legates to vote or speak for theta and
tate sooner this is clearly understood
by all member states of the League
the sooner will progress be made in
matters affecting our interests.
Canadians are heart and soul behind
the general idea and ideals for the
maintenance of world peace of the
League but they will never be satis-
fied to take any position of inferiority
in its councils or relegate their vital
interests to any one but their national
representatives.

Calcutta. -The Chamber of Princes
at Delhi has passed a resolution af-
firming their faith in the value of the
British connection in any constitution
that may be framed for the future ad-
ministration of India and the States.
Baron Irwin, the Viceroy, described
the resolution, as the most important
' ever discussed by the Chamber of
Princes, and on which reflected the
view, not only of those present, but
of the entire order of princes.
The Maharaja of Patiala moved the
resolution, which read: "While ad-
hering to their policy of non -inter•,

recent pronouncements of a section
of British and .Indian politicians indi-
cative of a drift toward complete hide-

that 'n the light of mutual obliga-
tions arising from their treaties and
engagements With the British Crown,
they cnimot assent to any proposals
having for their object the adjustment.
of equitable r'eletions between Indian
States and British India, unless such
proposals ,proceed upon the initial
• basis of the British connection."

Greater and More Prosperous,
"We believe that India -will be a
greater and more- prosperous land as
a Federation of Autonomous States
and Provinces within the Empire than
she will be outside the li.'ntptre "
Other sentiments voiced by the
Princes on the occasion were as fol
lows: The Maharaja of Kashmir:
"British India and the Indian States
will finch greater opportunity of mut-
nal service under the Crown than un-
der any sch•nne -i political partner-
ship." Mc taraja of 'Kapurthala:
"Britain's good will and assistance
were needed not only to attain (In-
dia's) freedom,, but to maintain it."
Maharaja of Alwar: "We -till wish Bri-
tish India to achieve her goal in a
short time, aucl as a united India we
can march forward with respective
obligations to the crown."

Public Heatlh
In public health the discoveries
of science have opened a new era.
Many sections of our country and
many groups of our citizens suffer
from diseases the eradication of
which are mere matters of admini-

Public health service should be as
fully organized and as universally)
iucorpoeated into our governmental+
system as is publib education. The
returns are a thousandfold in eco-
nomic benefits, and infinitely more�
in reduction of suffering and pro-
motion of human happiness.
