D. McDonald, of East Huron, also delivered a good address' in which he expressed •the pinion that i the Government were to gra t a Prohibi:,or Act now, within five years t ere would b au outcry for its repeal, on account of th unreadiness of the people, as shown by th plebiscite vote, for such 1 gislation, and that in this way the cause f temperance would be retarded and injur d.

C Robertsoie in the college and high school section of 1 the Ontario Educational Associ tion, at tjheir meeting last week in -Toren o, has g ven the °plies' ion papers auoth r opportu ity of attaeki g the Ontario Eaucational De- partment, an opportunity thy are only too ready to avail themselves of. Mr. Robert- son is Professor of Greek at -Victoria University. His subject wasi "Phe Edu- cation Department's Fetish'i This fetish, adeording to Professor Roberltson, is undue uniiaformity in the higher de artments. He is uite-satiefied with -the pri ary or public sc ooasection, but when it omes to tie hi h richools and Collegiate nstitutes, his -idei seems to be that more 1 titude should be renewed and that the cours of study in each school •should be rag lated by the headmaeters thereof and not ment. It seems to us that if were adopted, inextricable co be the result. There must and whatever variety may should be given by the respe in working out the details. so far as Mr. Robertson is does not appear to have made while his criticism seems to h severe and sweeping than the complained of justify. A dis subject, however, will not do •_should be encouraged rather -if the discussion is conducted epirit and for the purpose of quired reforms, and not with visaing the department and m capital.

Professor Rob aeon pointed to Englis school methods aa a model. But, in a doing, he must have overlooked the fac that the lack of uniformity there is bein felt so disadvant geously that there is no a bill before the House of Lords to organiz the secondary se eels of England on a rigid lyuniform meth d.[ This shoes that "in ir dividualism," .hi4h the Profeesor is e anxious to sea c ti ated, is not secured b ol lack of uniforrni y in the systi m.

If this combine is formed, the beet way to checkmate it is for the Government.to knock off the duty on bicycles coming into this country. If this is done, there wi 1 spring up some enterpris- ing man who hasi an eye to the main chance and who will ta e advantage of the situa- tion and the co bine will soon go tb pieces. Protection is the great foster parent of com- bines and noco bine can liveelong in the light of free com etition. General Hutt n, the new comMander ot he Canadian milaia force, is not satisfied ith the force as it at preaent exists in Can. dee and is urging the Canadian authorities o organize a per anent standing army.
