PUBLIC INDIFFERENCE TO
EDUCATION
In discussing the Educational con-
ditions in Canada to -day, Saturday
Night says some very plain things,
which unfortunately are all too true.
It says;
The necessity of paying the teach-
ing profession well enough to induce
young men of poise and purpose to
engage in it, is occupying the atten-
tion of thinkers in the United States
as well as in Canada. Recently, A.
0. Thomas, the State Superintendent
of Education for Maine, said some em-
phatic words on the subject, and pre-
sented facts which show a shocking
disparity 'between the rewards of
teaching and that of other less im-
portant services. For instance, he
• found young women in the mills of
his own town who were earning twice
or three times as much as public
school teachers. He specially cited
an advertisement which appeared in A
Boston newspaper offering $15 per
week and board for a young woman
to take care of two Pomeranian dogs
=equal to $1,200 per annum at the
• present time. "It ought," says Mr.
Thomas, "to be worth as much to. take
care of thirty or forty young Ameri-
cans as to take care of two dogs, but
the latter occupation seems more re-
munerative at preeetn."
• The trouble in the United States,
• as well as in Canada at the present
time, seems to be that the public
, has not been sufficiently roused to its
own duties and obligations in this
matter. The remuneration of teach-
ers is in most instances directly in
the hands of the public; and the pub-
lic, in rural school sections -especially,
is niggardly. It is generally admit-
ted that in intelligent and widespread
education of the young people of to-
day, lies this continent's best protec-
tion against the political and social
dangers which threaten all communi-
ties. This boon is only obtainable by
paying teachers a wage which will at
least place them on a parity with other
callings that require less capacity and
less Treparatory training. Too many
boars of trustees seem to think that
the reward of the teacher should
chiefly come from the supposed gen-
tility of the calling in comparison
with other forms of work; and that
education, while undoubtedly desirable
is not worth paying for.
ONTARIO BY-ELECTIONS IN
FEBRUARY
Members of the Government and the
U. F. O. "organizers" are still sitting
tight in regard to the seating of Hon.
Mr. Drury and his two homeless Min-
isters. It is understood, however, that
a decision has ' been reached that will
clear the air somewhat, although it
Will not spell the end of the embar-
rassments of the Drury Cabinet. The
• decision, it is . stated, is to bring on
without further delay by-elections in
East Kent and North Norfolk. Hon.
• Mr. Drury will run in the Norfolk
seat, and Hon. Manning Doherty in
Kent. The writs will be issued, it is
expected, toward the end of the week,
and eiominations will be set probably
for Monday, the 9th of' February, al-
though no date has been definitely de-
cided upon. Not less than twenty
days must elapse between the issu-
in of writs and nominations, so
tha the by-electithis cannot be brought
on fore the first week in February,
eve if the earliest possible date is
set.,
• The decision to open seats for the
Prime Minister and Hon. Mr. Doherty
is not an admission that a seat can-
not be found for Hon. Mr. Raney; So
'far no farmer member has offered a
seat in which the Attorney -General
.could be elected, but Hon. Mr. Drury
has no intention of abandoning his
colleague, unpopular though he may
be with the U. F. O. following. He
gave a positive denial Tuesday to a
report that Mr. Raney was to resign
or that there was any thought of re-
placing him. It appears that the U.
F. 0. unable to solve for the moment
the,, problem presented by Mr. Raney,
is going ahead to get the Prime Min-
ister and Mr. Doherty elected.
According to report there is very
little likelihood of opposition to Mr.
Drury, and the drift of, political sen-
Zatent in Kent indicates that Mr.
Dolierty may also be elected with-
out a light, H. Hartley Dewart, K.
C,, and the central organization is
said to want a contest, but there does
not appear to be much local demand
for it. McCoig, the Federal Liberal
member _for Kent, is supposed to be
using his influence to prevent Liberal
opposition, in the expectation of 11.

delimitel from Ottawa makes
the interesting announcement that
Sir William Hearst has been recom-
mended for the vacancy on the in-
ternational joint commission caused
by the elevation Of P. B. Mignault
to the Supreme Court bench. The
position carries with it- a salary -of
$6,000 a year. His appointment, it
is stated, is believed to indicate
grater activities by the Federal Gov-
ernrnent in the St. Lawrence naviga-
tion and power development. There
is this to be said (for whatever it
may be worth) for Union Government
that it certainly takes care to pro-
vide its satellites with, Snug billets.
and fat salaries -especially those of
its satellites whose unacceptability to
the "common people" has been amply
demonstrated. If ever a party leader
Was thoroughly discredited, as the
result of a general election, that
party leader is the ex -Premier of
this. Province. Even in the party
which he formerly led there are now
none so poor as to do him reverence.
But what matters it t� the powers
that be at Ottawa that the people
have signified their opinion of Sir
William Hearst's aptitude for states-
manship in no uncertain terms? The
only effect the popular condemnation
seems to have on the said powers
has been to impress them with the
urgent necessity of immediately pro-
viding the ex -Premier with a lucra-
tive post. It is true that the salary
, of his new position is slightly less
than that of the Premiership of On-
tario. But, on the other hand, the
duties are lighter, and he will not
be so liable to criticism by the rough
voices of the "common people." Yes,
Union Government knows how to look
after its satellites. Mr. William
Proudfoon the nominal leader of the
Liberal Opposition in the Ontario
Legislature, was superseded by a more
robust Liberal as soon as a popular
convention of Ontario Liberals. got
the chance to have a say in the ques-
tion of leadership: So he lost the
emoluments of that office for the fu-
ture, though to do him justice, he had
already drawn all that it was pos-
sible for him to draw. But Union
Government played the part of the
good fairy in his case, too, and made
him a Senator. This is the Govern-
ment which unctuously plumes itself
on having "abolished patronage."
PEACE TREATY SIGNED ,
The treaty of Versailles, making
peace between Germany and the rat-
ifying allied powers,- was put into
effect. at 4.15 Saturday afternoon by
the exchanneseratifications.
• The entire ceremony, which took
place in the Clock Hall at the French
-foreign ministry, was completed by
4.16, o'clock.
Previeusly Baron Kurt Von Lersner,
head of the German mission, signed
the protocol of November lst, pro-
viding for reparation, for the sinking
of the German warships at Scapa
Flow -and. to insure the -carrying out
of the armistice terms. The signing
of this document took place in the
office of the minister of foreign af-
fairs.
The delegates assembled in the pri-
vate office of the minister of foreign
affairs, where at a secret session the
protocol was signed' at 4.09 'o'clock.
Led by Premier Clemenceau, the
delegates then filed into the famous
Clock room, where were held the plen-
ary sessions of the peace ,conference
that fixed the terms of the treaty.
Baron Von. Lersner and Herr Von
Simson . were the first to signthe
minutes recording . the exchange of
ratifications.
The -proceeding began without any
ceremony, Preinier Lloyd 'George ,of
Great Britain, following the German
delegates at the signature table. He
was succeeded by Premier Clemencean
of France, who, on returning to his
seat aftei- signing, stopped in front
of Baron Von Lersner and Herr Von
Sim son.
The Gerinan representatives arose
and bowed to M. Clemenceliu, who
said a few words which were inaudible
to the, spectators. - The premier then
passed on to his place without shak-
ing hands.
This incident was watched with the
most intense interest in a dead silence.
It was noticed that Baron Von Lersner
made a. movement as if to put out
his hand, .but seemed to Check himself
as he saw that M. Clemenceau .kept
his gray gloved hands at his side.
Premier Nitti, of Italy; Baron
Matsui, the Japanese representative,
and Paul Hymens, the Belgian foreign
minister, followed Premier Clemenceau
in the order named. '
Then the delegates of the other
ratifying nations signed in alphabet-
ical sequence. The entire ceremony
was over at 4.16 o'clock, when M.
Clemenceau arose and said:
"The protocol having been signed as
well as the minutes recording the ex-
change of ratifications, I have the
honor to declare that the treaty of
Versailles is he full effect and that
its terms will be executed integrally."
The ceremony was characterized by
formal politeness to the exclusion of
all cordiality except between the al-
lies' delegates.
At the end of M. Clemenceau's re-
marks all the delegates arose and the
Germans, after slight hesitation, led
the way out without either §aluting
or exchanging words with any of the
other delegates.
.The absence of American represent-
atives was particularly remarked. Up
to the last hour Hugh C. Wallace, the
American ambassador, was in doubt
as to whether he would receive in-
structions to attend the ceremony.
Finally he, after receiving no word
from 'Washington, returned to the
secretary of the peace conference the
invitations that were extended to'him.
After the ceremony it was learned
that Premier Clernenceau's remarks
to the German representatives were to
the effect that he would this *evening

"I am- naturally happy that peace
has finally become effective," he said.
"Execution of the treaty of Versailles
imposes upon Germany the heaviest
sacrificesever, borne by a nation in
modern time. We lost in the west
and in the east territories thft belonged
to Prussia for many centuries. We
have assumed enormous econOmic
obligations. Nevertheless I am glad
that peace is et least re-established,
because it evil} give back to. Gertrainy'

Asked as to the execution of the
terms of the treaty, Baron Von Lers-
ner declared that Germany was ready
and determined to do her utmost. He
continued: , "We have already, even
without being obligated by the terms
of the treaty, delivered a considerable
quantity of products, including two
and a half million tons of coal to
France, and. I can say that Germany
will. go to the utmost !link of possi-
bility int fulfilling all the obligations
she has incurred. It will mean hard
times ,for Germany, but with the re-
covery of our ardor for. labor and
production we hope to meet every
emergency."
A speedy development is expected
to be the presentation to Germany of
the list of war criminals to be demand-
ed by the allies for trial under the
-treaty. Although it had been report-
ed recently that the list has been con-
siderably cut down from the originally
proposed 1,200 names it will still name
the former German crown prince and
Crown Prince Rupprecht, of Bavaria.
It is reported that the treaty itself
arraigns former Emperor William
"for a supreme offense against inter-
national morality and the sanctity of
treaties," and provides for a special
tribunal to try him after his surreeder

SEED OATS SITUATION
In those districts where ,the oat
crop was a partial or total failure
last season,. farmers are beicbming
semewhat anxiops as to the available
supply of seed oats. There is a gen-
eral tendency on the part of farmers
who have seed _oats for ?ale to with-
hold them until later in the winter.
The ,movement of seed oats is delay-
ed also because transportation has
been needed for coal, feed and live
stock.
Possibly 400,000 bushels of seed
oats ,may be required in Ontario and
Quebec, and a much larger quantity
in Southern Alberta and Saskatche-
wan. The Canadian Government Seed
Purchasing Commission already has
substantial supplies in store in the
Interior Termite/ Elevators, and large
quantities of good -quality early -har-
vested oats are still to come forward.
Alberta and Saskatchewan require-
ments will be given first consideration
from the seed oats produced in these
provinces. • •
The shortage in Ontario and Que-
bec may quite easily be met from the
large and excellent oat crops in
Prince Edward Island and Eastern
Nova Scotia. Number one quality Is-
land Banner seed oats are now being
delivered -as far west as Toronto at
a price comparable with West4rn
seed oats of the same grade. The
price of No. 1 seed oats delivered
in bulk car lots at any point in On-
tario and Quebec should not exceed
the current Fort William cash price
for No. 2 Canada Western oats by
more than thirty-five cents per bushel.
Registered and othdr Select stocks
true to variety • may- be higher in
price.
• The Domi-nion Seed Branch pro-
vides a- system of grading and in-
spection, so that shippers in either
Western Canada or the Maritime prov-
inces may make delivery of seed in-
spection certificates with their bills
of lading. Purchasers of seed oats
in any part of Canada may now buy
on the basis of grade, No. 1 Seed,
No. 2 Seed, etc., and subject to the
delivery of seed inspection certificates.

made him an easy prey. to the ravages
of disease. He was the eldest son of
the late David Walker and was born
on the farm where he died. For
many years he lived on the farm a-
cross the road from his old home, now,
occupied by Mr. Archibald McGregor,
later moving to Sparta, where he en-
gaged in the building trade which he
followed for a considerable number
of years. Honest and. upright in his
dealings with his fellow men, coupled
• with a genial and cheerful disposi-
tion, won him many lasting friends
who will deeply regret his passing
away so suddenly. He leaves to
mourn his loss, a wife and a son and
daughter, floth of whom are com-
fortably me.rried and honored resi-
dents of their community. The re-
mains were sent to the home of- his
son, from where the funeral was held
to the family buring ground.
The Late Mrs. Edward Papple.-
As intimated in last week's Expositor,
Mrs, Papple pass,Qd to the Great Be-
yond from where no traveller ever re-
turns, on January 3rd, from a severe
attack of pneumonia. Born on the
Mill Road, Tuckersmith, on the, farm
where she passed away, she was one
of the elder 'daughters of the late
David Walker, a prominent and hon-
ored resident of the township in the
early days. She was married to her
now bereft husband on Christmas day
about forty years' ago, and practically
spent all her life on the old home-
stead. It was her custom to have i
as many of her relatives spend Christ-
mas withs her at the old home as
could 'possibly attend, and was busily
preparing for them as usual when
taken sick the day) before Christmas,
and althoughiTot privileged to be up
with them on that day, yet she was
not thought to be in any immediate
danger until a severe attack of pneu-
monia set in. Throughout all her ill-
ness she maintained a Christian forti-
tude, which was :typical of her daily
life, never complaining and always
mindful of the needs of others. Re-
alizing towards the last that she could
not recover, she bade them all an
affectionate farewell and _expressing
the wish that her suffering would
not be prolonged as she felt so very
tired she was quite resigned to the
wiil of her Master. Deceased was a
very amiable woman, tactful and
courteous in her intercourse with
others, and as a neighbor, sympa-
thetic. and -always ready to lend a
helping, hand in their time of need.
Her entire life was an influence for.
good to those with whom she came
in contact and not only by them will
she be missed but more especially in
her iewn home will they long for the
touch of a vanished hand and the
.sound of a' voice.that is still, yet they

have the comforting assurance that
she has but gone a little while be-
fore to reap the rich reward promised
to those who are faithful in many
things. Besides her sorrowing hus-
band, son and little grandchildren,
she is survived by three sisters and
two brothers, who have the sympathy
of the entire community in this, their
sad hour of affliction. The funeral
to Baird's cemetery was very- largely
attended; a tribute of respect to one
who was held in such high esteem by
all those who had the privilege of
her acquaintance. The services were
conducted by her pastor, Rev. Mr,
McIntosh, of Brueefield.
A Memorial Tribute. -There pass-
ed away at the family residence, on
Sunday, January llth, a beautiful
young lady who was the charm of
her home, the idol of her neighbor-
hood, the ministering angel of the Col-
legiate Institute, which she attended,
and the inspirer of good works and
lofty aspirations in the Egmondville
church of which she was a faithful
member, Annie Laura Chesney, fifth
daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Pearson
Chesney, Tuckersznith. Perhaps no
girl of eighteen years in our Province
filled a more unique place end wielded
a bigger influence in her own com-
munity and church than Laura Ches-
ney. She had been brought up tender-
ly amid; natural surroundings that
developed in her a love of the beautiful
and true, and a revulsion to the arti-
ficial and false. Her almost maternal.
regard for her younger brothers and
sister fostered in her a patience, a
'tact, a kindliness and, a disposition to
champion the interests of the weak,
which she carried with her to the class
room, to the play ground, to the Sun-
day school and into all her associa-
tions. She was a gifted girl. She
was brilliant as a student -studious,
painstaking and original. She had
musical gifts and was a member of
the Egniondville church choir. She
had literary gifts, writing essays in
competition with others, that won her
distinction, and writing addresses, par-
ticularly on, religious themes, that I
deeply impressed those who heard
them. She had organizing gifts and
was president of the young ladies
Bible class of her church. She had
rare gifts of leadership and was pres-
ident, at her death, of the large and
progressive Y. P. S. C. E. of Egmond-
ville church. Her death took place
at the hour of service on the Sabbath.
At the same hour the Sunday before
she was singing, as 'usual, in her
church choir. Just before God took
her to himself she e rehersed, •in her
delirium, the programme she had pre-
pared for Endeavor meeting the Mon-
day following her death. She led in
prayer, called on others for prayer
and the reading of the Scripture les-
son,. and she, herself, sang in a clear
and .melodious voice, "Beautiful Isle
of Somewhere." Those who were
present will never fprget this sublime
scene for it seemed to them that they
were listening to a rehearsal of the
celestial choir. This striking and
perhaps unique little incident is nar-
rated by her pastor, Rev. S. McLean,
in the hope that it may lead many
other young people to dedicate them-
selves to the service of Laura-ls God.
Only the immediate relatives attend-
ed the funeral service which was priv-
ate, private in deference to what it
was -believed, would have been Laura's
wish had she been consulted in the
matter. Many of- the organizations
and friends who were not pemitted
personally to see Laura laid awayin-
her last resting place, sent over gifts
of floral -wreaths and sprays which
nearly filled the room where the cas-
ket lay. The tiarente, brothers, sis-
ters and isorrowing friends have the
deepest sympathy of a devoted com-
munity; and the Christian Endeavor
Society of Egmondville church will
devote next Monday evening's meet-
ing. to lessons from. the life of Laura
Chesney. For many long seasons,
our thoughts will wander away to days
of bygone happiness, and our bearts
will cry: "0 'for. the touch of a
vanished hand and the , soiind of a
voice that is still." The pal) bearers
were Collegiate boys: Frank Coates
and Gordo; Hays, Christian Endeavor .
ex -presidents; Ross McGonigle and
Ivan Forsythe, and town friends,
George Abraham and Kenneth Ament.
Among the beautiful floral tribute I
were pillow design from students of =
S. C. I. and spray from staff of 8.
C. I.; anchor from Y. P. S. C. E.
wreath from choir of Egmondville
church, spray from Girl Guides and
the Sabbath school class of which
Laura was president.
