11' to Britain and France, who hold the
bulk of Germany's pre-war colonies,

Some Rome and Educational
Truths
At' -the. recent annual Conference
of Ed'u'cational Associations of Great
Britain, held in London, 'England,
recently, the educational leaders of I
that country voiced a strong call to
revive religious teaching in educa-
tional institutions.
Speaking on the subject at this
conference, Sir Charles Grant Rob- a
ertson, late -Vice-Chancellor and 9
Principal of Birmingham University
uttered some home and educational II'
truths which are well worthy of re- a
petition.
One of these was: "Unless this t
generation takes a definite stand in I
It
regard to the inclusion of religious f
study in connection with education, I
a p*rio+d, ' of moral and spiritual
bankruptcy Iies 'ahead:" l
And a still more pertinent state-
ment by the same speaker was this:
"This generation," Sir Charles said,
"is living on Christian capital which
was piled up for it by its, forefathers.
It is ignorant of how that capital
was , made, and obvious 'of the fact
that it may finally be exhausted."
'There are more than a few people,.
perhaps a little too pessimistic in •'
their make-up, who are quite willing
to assert that the Christian capital
which we inherited from our fore-
fathers, has already been dissipated
by the present generation, but that,
we do not believe to be. a fact.
No doubt the present generation
has not been ash careful of its Chris-
,. 'tian capital as it might have been,
,, but it must be admitted that our in-
heritance of Christianity has not
been entirely exhausted because
neither Great Britain nor Canada
would be democracies to -day, if the
people in. them 'did not still hold an
abiding faith in the essential truths
Of the Christian religion.
This generation is a little too prone
to look upon the religious beliefs and
Training of our forefathers as harsh
and cold things arid- a little prone to
forget that it was this same religious
training and beliefs that "made a
man's word as good as a bond and
developed a "character that was rat-
ed at one hundred cents on the dol-
lar on any market.
The Chrisltiah religion has never
injured any man or any man's coun-
try. On the other hand, itis not to()
much to say, perhaps, that it is the
forgetfulness, of the Christian re-
ligion, and the lack of applying its
principles, that lies at the root of
. much of our present day unrest and
trouble. . '

. The Comb And Brush .
• It may surprise some people to,
learn I that the comb and brush,
which are considered to -day as such
inseparable compgni'ons ,of every day
toilet use, had no ass'o'ciation what-
ever until quite recent, times.
The comb is an ancient toilet tool.
Its use is recorded back in history,
almost as far back as history goes.
To it women owe their crowning
glory. But women always had more
. patience than men, and always •wore
their hair long. Hence they, were
content to endure the comb, and it
reigned supreme for quite some cen-
turies.
In fact it was not until the nine-
teenth century that the brush came
into general use. It was first adopt-
ed by the men .and then by the wo-
men. And men's fashions and lack
of patience were the' cause of its
adoption, because of its more pleas-
ant and less pulling qualities.
We do not know how it was with
the ancients,, but back in the time of
Queen Llizabeth, men wore 'their
heads cropped. • Alen followed the
seventeenth and eighteenth centur-
ies, when men wore wigs, which
they could take off to comb, thus sav-
ing time and patience, and the pain
of the pulls.
But in the nineteenth century and
the days of Qi4een Victoria, things
changed again. Man had to •tie
hairsute to be fashionable. And
they were. You ,have seen the pic-
tures where the most distinguishing
a features of 'tile face were the whis-
pers. and the collar.
Now combing out a long flowing
beard, or a tangled one, or one with
icicles in it, the' kind -so familiar to
early day Canadians; is.such a show,
.. painful and putter'T j�Ob, that man
lost patiehee entirely.
