A Word for the Under.Privileged Boy
THEHE Rotary Club of 'Montreal,
like its sister organizations
throughout the continent, is an effi-
cient and effective" organization
working for the good of the commu-
nity in which it exists. It has par-
ticularly devoted its attention to
work among the class of boys that
fall under the term "under -privileg-
ed." In every great city there are
thousands of such lads facing life
under grievous handicaps imposed
by poverty, or by the more dreadful
combination of poverty and such
physical or moral surroundings as
would be a menace to the strongest.
The task of brightening the lives
of these lads and of giving them a
fair chance to become good citizens
is a grateful one, and the Rotary
Club of Montreal has done a splendid
work in this connection. It has
interested itself in a very practical
way in the Boys Home at Shawbridge
in the Laurentian Mountains, and has
done a great deal for boys through-
out the city and district.
The Shawbridge Boys Home is the
particular care of E. W. Beatty,
President of the Canadian Pacific
Railway, who is also president of
the Home. He has always taken a
greatinterest in the under -privileged
boy, and it was natural, when the
Rotary Clubs held their convention
In Montreal recently, that he should
be asked to address them on that
phase of their work.
"Perhaps the saddest thing in. the
world," said Mr. Beatty, "is the sub-
normal boy, or one whose standard
of health is low, and no work is
greater or more inspiring than that
which helps to place the handicapped
boy where he can face the world on
fairly equal terms with the more
fortunate." .
Mx. Beatty went .on to quote an
eminent English educationalist who,
although not prejudiced • against
parents as a class, stated with truth
that many parents are not appre-
ciative of the problems of their
children, and, not being capable„ of
grappling with eineir difficulties, do
not supply the inspiration that tends
to make them the kind of citizens
they should grow up to be. "The
under -privileged boy of this class,"
said Mr. Beatty, "is often precocious
but more often he is undeveloped
physlcal.ly and mentally, and there-
fore not capable of accomplishing his
own destiny.
"If the under -privileged boy of the
city, born to unfortunate physical
environment, is to succeed, he must
have that environment made natural
and normal as far as possible," said
Mr. Beatty, and this, .he s.uggested,
argues even more strongly for the
supervising care by those In author-
ity, and competent inspection involv-
ing sanitary housing no 'overcrowd-
ing and supervised playgrounds, etc.
Every •boy should for his own sake
and for the sake of the community,
have the use of the common tools of
life -or a common school education.
A boy should also be taught the in-
comparable practical and spiritual
advantages of honest self-made man-
hood, he added.
"It has been truly said that the
best educated man is the man who
has a knowledge of living through
contact with those whose problems
he shares and whOseenonditions he
understands.— I presume there is
no more effectual means of stimula-
ting the interest of a boy than the
eareers 'and aehievements of men of
whom he has • heard but of whose
personal,. qualities ' he knows
nothing", and the speaker deplored
the fact that biographies and other
stories which Might influence the
boy for good are so written that the
human side is, left out. He added
that the boy "must be .taught that
the great personal freedom we
enjoy under our form of democracy
carries with it the responsibility of
being and doing our very. best. He
must learn that there is no virtue
without temptation and that the
sacredness of righteousness is large-
ly constituted in the effect of the
individual or 'nation to attain it.
"This," he said, "is not a work that'
can be initiated by parliament or
made .effective by legislation. It
requires the personal interest and
the friendly contact of the man who
can compel the respect and regarc:
of the. boy."

''We • have to -day travelled
through the most glorious scenery
it has ever been my priVilege to
witness."
In this simply -worded sentence,
uttered duringthe course of a
speech at Prince Rupert, the Duke
of Devonshire, statesman, diplomat
and traveller, paid tribute to Can-
ada, of which he was then Gover-
nor-General. Like many of
predecessors he was no stranger to
the beauties of nature in many
parts of the world. Yet during his
stay in this country he repeatedly
extolled the fascination of Canadiaa
scenery.
To -day Canadians are realizing
that there are many wonderlands
within the boundaries of their own
country, as fair as anything that
some of them have travelled over
half the earth to see. That knowl-
edge has given a great stimulus to
their desire to know more abut
Canada by personal observation.
Hence the growing appreciation of
the educational value Of travel in-
telligently planned and carried out.
Many Canadians indeed plan their
business trips so that they may be
able to devote a little time to visit-
ing beauty spots that lie in their
course Thus they find brief re-
laxation' from the complexities
and Strain of modern business
iffe.
It is in the aummer months, how-
ever, that the minds of the major-
ity of Canadians are turned to
travel. The sea, the lake, the quiet
streams, the mountains, the rolling
plains and the great forests, all
have their appeal to the seekers of
recreation, health, and pleasure.
Summer resorts and journeys • full
of charm and attractiveness are
legion in their choice. But the trip
of all trips, the one that- is essen-
tial to the completion of knowledge
by Canadians Of Canada, is ,that
across the Dominion to the Pacific
coast. On tbe •way lies Jasper
National Park. a desirable stop-
over point, which Is an historic
as Well as gorgeously beautiful
area. David Thompson, explorer -
and idealist, struggled with daunt-
less courage through this section of
the country in 1810. Ire n311. the
Athabaska Pass throug.h the Rock-
ies was discovered, and about 1826
the Yellowhead Pass became known
.to the white man.
The men who led the way and
blazed the trails through these
passes, were fortunate if they made
more than six or eight miles a day.
Their discoveries opened a •new
route between the Pacific and Hud-
son Bay, over which, twice a year.
dog sleigh and pack horse made
trips with goods and passengers.
That was considered one of the
marvellous feats of the time. To-
day this land of wonder may be
traversed in a modern railway train
at a speed of forty Miles an hour,
or may be viewed in leisurely
fashion over roads and well de-
fined trails, by those whose time
permits bf camping and exploring
among surroundings whose ever-
present beauties are a source of
never-ending amazement and de-
light.
To the travellers who journey
thence on the Pacific coast, with
its charm of climate, scenic setting,
and growing cities and towns, there
is in prospect the finest water trij.
in the world. -The 750 miles of
ocean voyage from Prince Rupert
to Vancouver and Victoria, or on
to Seattle, is incomparable in its
beauty. This trip is a fitting climax
to the succession of gorgeous scenic
pictures that can never be erased
from the observant mind.
Nature has been lavishly kind to
Canada. • Her resources in natural
wealth are -beyond human complata
tion. The greatest factors in the
development of these are the rail-
ways, What they have done to de-
velop the country in a material
sense can never be adequately de-
scribed. Now they are bringing
not only Canadians, but tourists
from all over the world into touch
with the matchless natural wonder
places of the Dominion. They are
in a very large measure responsible
for the awakening to the fact that
a land can be rich in all that makes
for a great agricultural and manu-
facturing nation, and yet be noted
td' the ends of the earth for its
scenic delights. In these phases of
development the Canadian National
Railways Systern• is active.
A trip across Canada aside from
the pleasure it gives, will prove to
be of inestimable educational value.
