-This year, as heretofore, the Onta-
rio Department of Education co-
operation with' the Ontario AgAcultural
College, Guelph; the Ontario College
of Art, Toronto; the Untversity of To-
rt/nth, and the Department of Militia,
and Defence, Ottawa, offers Summer
courses, beginning July 6th and end-
ing August 6th, to teacbers who desire
to obtain certificates In agriculture anti
horticulture, farm mechanics, art,
household science, manual trolling, vo-
cal 'music, the commercial subjects and
physical culture, and certificates for
admission to the Normal schools and
the faculties of education. To, these the
department has this year added cours-
es for intending teachers of kinaergare
ten -primary and auxiliary classes.
It appears to be altogether probalile
that many tonalities wInch have not es-
tablished kindergarten- nlasses will look
with favor upon the kindergarten -Prim-
ary classes, and Teems probable also
that the latter clannes will replace spine
en the kindergartehs now in existence.
It is. accerdingly important that the
teachers concerned should avail them
selves of 'the present opportunity, es-
Pecially intending teachers if kinder;
garten-primary certificates may not be
continued.

It is astonishing hove ridiculous !some
people ean become throtigh prejudice.
Even things with German names are
becoming unpopular in Ontario, or rath-
er, the German names are. For exempla
tbere is the beer. The city council of
Toronto not long ago iiercely debated
the question of permitting the presence
of large ,electric signs advertising the
merits of beer with a 'German name,
Mayor Church has now received a oug-
gestion that the word kindergarten be
eliminated from the language, at -least
as referring to tbe 'ower classes of the
public schools. The mayor has sent the
letter to the Management cammittee of
the board of education, which commit-
tee las smiled.
But -the provincial board. ,of censors,
winch has jurisdiction over the mov-
ing ,picture theaters, does not, amen.
It bas 'placed the ban on all films
winch show the German,soldler in any
position save that of ' defeat: Pro -Ger-
man films, don't get through if the
board sees them first, and if they do
slip through, they are speedily recalled.
This rule is being strictly- adhered to,
now that real war films are coming
through.
* * * *
The Ontario government is empha-
sizing the position taken some time ago,
that pulpwaod cut on new concessions
In the north must be manufactured In
the nrovince. This is in line with, the
old policy of the province 'With respeet
to saw, logs, a policy which went into
effect years ago and which has since
been copied by other provinces. When
the present governmentleased the pulp-
wood area in the Abitibi district, the
provision was made that the company
leasing the area must. manufacture in
the district. The gonernment at the
same time retained' control over all
land:, retained the right to place set-
tlers upon these. lands a.ndt retained at.
so all Indian lands, water rights and
water powers.
Tim scheme has worked out success -
telly. The pulp and paper indestry
vtleich grew up in the Abitibi. district
now employs over 1,000 persons, and
buys annually from the settlers some-
thing near to *500,000 worth of pulp-
wood. Encauraged by this result the
government is now throwing open tor
lease 2,500 square miles of phipwood
ori what is known as the Lac Seul
limit. This territory lies north of the.
National Transeontinental railveay and
south of the English river,

Figures given, to the Canadiaa Manu-
facturers' association at the annual
meeting in Toronto show to what ex-
tent the neW industry of Shell -making
has grown. They show that since the
outbreak of war great strides 'have
been made first in organizing and sec-
ond in expanding this new line ot
manufacture. Brigadier General Bert-
ram, *bo gave the figures, is chair-
man of tbe shell committee which the
'minister of militia appointed to create
the new industry of -shell manufacture,
The work had to be carried ,on in the
face of all those many difficinties which
invariably confront and impede the
launching of a new enter -prise, diffi-
culties of doubt and distrust and faint-
beartedn,ess. All these diffidulties have
been overcome. Factories have. been re-
orgariized, new machinery has been
constructed and installed, 70,000 work-
men have been trained in the use of.
this machinery, Canadian steel has been
manufactured for the first time for
shell man.ufacture, and g plant is to be
establiabed *for the refining of Ontario
copper -in Ontario. In Toronto, and Ham-
ilton alone there are 46 factories en-
gaged in the making of shells, or rath-
er, the parts for shells. In all Canada
t ere are nearly 25) factories engaged
I ,this work, while 130 are busy'..on the
etembling a.nd machiaing of -the parts.
Whet this means to the country, a-
part altogether from ifts military im-
porta,ace, may be, gallomed* from Gen-
eral Bertram's statement that ,the
weekly wage bill exceeds $1,000,000 and
that 170,000 tons of steel, ,30,000 tons oi
lead and several thousand tens ofother
materials are required to fill the con-
tracts already placed. In a nery short
time, says General Bertram, the daily
output of shells will amount to 6a,000.

tablish a smelter in this province where
tbis native metal can be smelte4 and
refined. In this way there . will ne
created a new induetry wbich will be a
permanent taae. In fach, it is the ex-
pectation' of manunacturers who are
working with the shell cormnittee, that
wren, `the war is, over and the demand
tor shells stops, a umber of new.he-
dustries of a'permanent Character will
have been establiehed.
Of course what has been accomplish-
ed to dale has not been 'done in smooth
water. For exaenple, there are be On•-
tario, and probably also in other prov-
inces, a number of ihanufacturere who
hane been willing to take orders for
&tells or shell parts, and who have
not been able to get them. These mea
have complained, have smelled rats ann.
have suspeeted the presence of nigger
in woodpiles. The official answer tn
these complaints is that only such .ord..
ers as are received from, the war office
can be passed on, that the shelletom-
mittee has no right to go beyond the
limits of these orders. To the sugges-
tion that quicker results might be ob-
tained by a Wider distribution of era-.
ern the official answer is that before
a contract is awarded an investigatiofl
is trade as to the ability of the firm
to carry out the work to be aseigacd
to et.
These are general answers winch
may not meet all cases, but It is likely
that the demand for shells will before
long aftord an opportunity for every
manufacturer wlio is able and drilling
to handle a cootract. The shell com-
mittee makes periodical reports to the
war office es to the shell-maning re-
sources of the country, and ,it is ex-
pected that the demand will be fully
equal to the possible supply.
