EDITORIAL NOTES
The Government has -decided to make
the Canadian war loan one hundred in-
stead of $50,000,000. Thf, extra fifty
will be obtained from the 60 odd millions
of the over -subscriptions to the original
loan, and will be used as a credit for
the Imperial Treasury to pay for the
shells, munitions and other war sup-
plies ordered by the Imperial Govern-
ment, It is the first step towards doing
Canada's fair part in helping the
motherland to finance the enormous
war expenditure of $25,000,000 per day,
which the Imperial Treasury has hith-
erto borne unaided.
MUNICIPAL POLITICS
Of this year's Council, we have
heard that Coun. Vannorman mention-
ed as a candidate for the Mayor's chair
and Coun. Currie for the Reeveship,
Coun. Binkley will likely seek re-elec-
tion to the Council.
The Town Council has held forty-four
meetings, regular and special, during
the present year. Eight men could
have been chosen who would have
transacted the business as well at a
third the number of meetings.
Mr. Alex. Young has announced his
intention of being a candidate for the
Reeveship for 1915. Mr. Young serv-
ed two years in the Council and has
been in business here for twenty-two
years. We understand that Mr, A.
Tipling will be a candidate for the
Council.
This year's Council has issued
debentures, the town's annual payment
on which will be $2,317.93 which would
equal about three mills. Fortunately
the last National Iron Works debenture
of $1,528.98 will be paid this year, so
that next year's increase in debenture
debt can be taken care of by one mill.
There are a number of natters of
municipal business that should be
brought to the attention of the rate-
payers, but time and space will not per-
mit of our touching them this week.
Nomination meeting will be held on
Monday evening, December 27th. Will
the ratepayers of Wingham awake
and see that good men are nominated
to fill the various positions next year?
The Council got off some peanut and
small potato municipal politics et the
meeting on Monday evening. For the
first time in twenty-seven years to our
knowledge, the naming of deputy re-
turning officers and poll clerks, ha's
been referred to a committee. In cities
the Councils MUST make these appoint-
ments on the recommendation of the
Clerks. The Clerk is held responsible
for the proper conducting of the elec-
tion and should be in a position to know
the parties who are qualified to fill
these positions. The appointments
have always previously been made in
open Council, but not so this year.
Members of Councils of previous years
were surely blessed with as much
business ability as the members of the
present Council and they trusted the
Town Clerk in the naming of election
officers.
AN EDUCATIONAL DANGER
(Far.m amt Dairy)
In these days when leading Cana•
tdian educationists are so strongly ad-
vocating instruction in agriculture in
all rural schools, the following. para -
I
graph from The Nebraska Farmer
comes as a timely warning of a very
'real danger. Our contemporary say:
"That farmers may be fitted to take
their proper pldce in the government
is one reason why the rut al schools
should continue to give instruction in
,the rudiments of a broad education
rather than to be turned into corn and
!tog sehools. Farmers must not permit
fad -chasing educators and schoolmen,
by int.okeing too much vocational
trainnig, t, dtstroy the usefulness of

the rural schools in training for eitizen•
ship "
This warning applies not only to ag-
ricultural instruction, but to all phases
of industrial education in public sehools
Industrial education may easily be car-
ried so far that it will endanger the
value of our schools as developers of
broad-minded, intelligent citizens and
in their place produce efficient indus-
trial slaves but little more. Germany,
is an example, of a country that has
made industrial efficiency the root and
branch of her educational system
and many there are who would gladly
Prussianize our Canadian schools.
Let us not forget that the first object
of education is to train our children to.
think. Up to a certain point, element-
ary instruction in agriculture or in-
dustrial science will help to attain this
object. Carried too far, it will tend to
dull the intellect. It is to the interests
of the farmers and working men of
Canada to see that industrial education
is never allowed to become anything
more than a very secondary subject on
the curriculum of our schools,
