CUMBERLAND, BRITISH COLUMBIA, SATURDAY, APRIL SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM. Cumberland Still League Leaders With Changed Line-Up League Leaders Played Good Game, Winning By Three Goals. VICTORIA.—Stung by their rather unexpected reverse at the hands of the Metropolis seifiors, the Cumberland soccer players fielded a changed line-up Saturday afternoon, when they defeated the redoubtable Victoria Wests by :. goals to nil. The Up- Islandors retained their pretty combination, but they scut some men on the forward line who could shoot- in great contrast to Friday's game— nnd tho score shows the result of their strategy, says the Colonist. At that, the Wests lost two almost certain goals when their outside left twice missed completely, when all he had to do was to trap the ball. Then Archie Mair missed a penalty kick in the second half, sending the ball wide of the goal, and the second score made by Cumberland through a surprising miss by Shandley, who failed to tield a ground shot. However, tho victory, which keeps Cumberland well up in the Vancouver Island League, was a well-deserved one, and tho visitors played a far superior game to the Wests, their combination being splendid, their forwards aggressive, and dangerous shots. On the contrary, although the Wests' defence was good, their forwards, with one exception, gave a very poor display. Wests on Defensive. Tlie Wests kicked off against thc sun, nnd they were almost immediately on the defensive, the neat combination of the Up-Islandors apparently bewildering them, and although they broke away once, the visitors came right back, and after a particularly fierce rush, Home, the inside left, got close in and scored with a swift shot, live minutes after the start. This success was greeted with cheers from a strong contingent of Cumberland supporters, and the Northerners kept up their pressure, Shandley being called upon to make two saves in quick succession. The Wests theu began to liven up a little, and J. Sherratt crossed nicely, Baker getting his head under the ball, but Walker made a brilliant save. The Wests then secured the first corner of the match, but the sphere was cleared. J. Sherratt afterwards sent a beautiful pass right lo Mulcahy's feet, close to the goal, but, to the (Continued on Page Four) Badminton Results The tournament promoted by the Cumberland Badminton Club is coming on apace. The ladies' singles have beeu completed, and also some of the gent's singles. In the ladies* singles tlie semi-final game between Mrs. J. Spicer and Miss V. Campbell proved to be a regular humdinger, both contestants being apparently plnyed out at the finish. Mrs. Spicer eventually won out by a score of 15- 11, thus passing into the final stage, meeting Mrs. W. A. Owen nnd winning by n score of 15-4. The scores by rounds: Mrs. Clinton beat Miss Gcoghagen, 15-3; Miss Weldoti beat Mrs. Cameron, 15-5; Miss Campbell bent Mrs. Stacey, 15-love Mrs. Spicer beat Mrs. Leversedge, 15- 2; Mrs. Owen heat MrB.

Grocery Business Changes Han-Hs Burns & Brown Take Over Old Established Business From Simon Leiser & Co. Ltd. On Monday, April 4, the oldest- established business lu the city will change hands. The flrm of Simon Leiser & Co. Ltd.. who have been pioneers in B. C, will be transferred to Messrs. Burns & Brown, two of their old employees, who have been In their service for many years. Tho flrm of Simon Leiser & Co. is a household word in Cumberland, and lias grown up with tlie place practically since its inception, lias shared its ujis and downs, and weathered all kinds of times during that period. About a year ago the family interests of the Simon Leiser Co. bought out all tho interests of the shareholders, and at the same time made up their minds to sell all the different branches which they had In various localities, so us to bo able to give their undivided attention to the wholesale end of their business. In keeping witli their policy of appreciation of services rendered, about a year ago they sold the Dry Goods end of the business to Mr. Sutherland, who had been in their service for thirteen years, and now as a completion of the total sale of their interests in Cumberland they are selling the Grocery Department to their two employees. On the decision of the firm to sell out their various branches, they at once placed themselves iu touch with their various managers in the branch stores and told them they would have tlie first chance of the business iu the event of their desiring to buy. So one branch after another has been sold to their own employees, who have availed themselves of the opportunity to purchase a well established business. Mr. Jas. Burns, who comes from Bovan, has been in charge out there for several years, and previous to that time was manager of their Grocery Department In Ladysmith for seven or eight years, while Mr. Mat. Brown has been ln the Cumberland Branch for quite a number of years. Xo doubt when the energies of Mr. Burns and Mr. Brown are joined it should go a long way to build up a still larger business.

The temporary suspension of tlie Cumberland High School Club, which took placn last Friday, was pal irto effect by the boys themselves. While the activities of the boys in the club and sport were not in excess, nor beyond that indulged in iu thc usual run of clubs of this nature, il was deemed expedient that tbe entire efforts of tbe boys should be devoted to the pursuit of their studies. Tlie examinations will he upon them he- fore they are aware of it, and it was though! advisable to keep their education before them as yieir main con* ideralion. While naturally the hoys regretted' this movement, tbey were sportsmen enough and sufficiently foresigbted to see that il was to their idvuutage to discontinue for tlie, present their club life. The boys are a fine type of young manhood and arc bright and alert, ml it is a pleasure to come into contact with them. lOvery encouragement should tie given the boys of Cumberland to gel an education, and the value of the same should he continually brought home to them. While they have not the environment around lb em tbat show the ulvnnlnges of education, those who have been further aliold and seen for themselves the disadvantage of having no education beyond tlie rudiments, should bo anxious tliat Ihelr children stay iu scliool. The high school boys all realize and appreciate tlie sterling qualities of manhood and Ihe intellectual abilities of Mr. Wood, their principal. This lias been a great factor In their willingness to more or less drop all sport and respond with all their ability to the principal's request for closer application lo study. They realize the necessity of this to themselves and tbe justice of it lo Mr. Wood, and are acting accordingly. They have never failed to respond t<. any request on Ibe patf of tlib men behind Die clllh and [f they fall down this time il will he the first occasion. Now boys, get down to business—dig in and make good, and no one will bo more pleased witii the results than the men in whoso hearts you have all found a place, and who will be ever Interested In your welfare.

Canadian National Railways EMPIRE CENSUS TO BE TAKEN ON APRIL 24 M For First Time in History the Census of British Empire to Be Taken on Same Day. LONDON.—As midnight booms out from Big Ben, In tbe heart ot the capital, on April 24, every man, woman am! child within the British Empire will lie counted. Por the first time In history tbe whole ot the Empire will take a census on the same day. With one-third ot tlie world's population to he numbered, it will undoubtedly be tlie biggest census of all time. Special plans have been made to get uniformity in the statistical information to be collected, but the enumeration will be carried out separately hy the different governments concerned. Even In the British Isles, Scotland aud Ireland will have their own censuses. When a census was last taken, ten years ago, the suffragettes, in ninny cases, stayed out all night to evade the count, aud others refused to till out the forms. With tlie vote now granted, all women will do their duty as responsible citizens, but in Ireland the Sinn Felners threaten a boycott. How far they wlll succeed in getting counted out remains to be seen. Tusk Declared ('iiruntlc. It ls a gigantic task to number any people. How big it is in this case may be seen from a few facts about the census of England and Wales, which represents one-tenth of the Empire's population. It means a cost ot $2,500,001), about twice that of ten years ago. It demands the distribution and collection of 11,000,000 householders' forms, thc preparation ot 150,000 special forms In Welsh, and the Issue of an explanatory pamphlet In Yiddish. More than 38.000 enumerators will be engaged for a week, and 2000 registers will supervise their work. Each enumerator will be responsible for 200 to 300 families. In the last census the preparation of the tabulated results was equal to the sorting of 344,278,000 and the counting of 147,950,000 cards. There will be about 400 people engaged for two years on compiling the complete returns. The population of England and Wales has been estimated at 3(1,000,- 000. When it was lirst counted ill 1801, the total figure for Great Britain Was 10,942,646*. The cost is about 4 cents a head, as compared with accents in America. The last British census cost £b 8 shillings 8 pence— or about $27—per thousand population. The Netherlands spent, roughly $35, Norway $41, and Austria $28.75. So that the British census ls probably the cheapest In the world. The Irish. counting in 1011, cost $05,000. Today's estimate is $450,000. Sew Zealand (lives Forecast. In New Zealand the government statisticians give an advance forecast of the ollicial reckoning. In 1011 tbey were only 1707 out, in a population ol over one million. A census has been taken for the last SO years. The first was not without its thrill. In 1812, the actual figures for Nelson were unobtainable "as the resident magistrate was killed by the Maoris." It Is quite possible that the taking of the Irish census may he attended with similar tragedies. PIGS VERSUS SNAKES Turn some pigs loose in a swamp infested with rattle snakes and watch the fun. P, V. Williams did not do exactly that but he tells In April "Rod and Gun In Canada" what ballpens when swine meet serpents.

HI ■Iii SPRING FOREST FIRES One of the most dangerous seasons or the year hi regard lo forest fires is now approaching and it behoves all who go into the torsi on any business lo be cureful with fire. When the snojv leaves the forest, last year's leaves, grass and twigs are left as dry as tinder, and a lighted match or cigarette slab thrown down carelessly falls into material as Inflammable as a barrel of shavings. After ihe spring rains come on and new grass and new Collage starts the danger is greatly reduced. People do not realize that just at tlie close of winter, through Which there is scarcely any danger from fire in the woods, comes on tlie most dangerous season.

SATURDAY, APRIL 2, L921. are still being made in over 14,000 illicit distilleries. The number of stills demolished in the year was 93,7S9, and 123,494 gallons of spirits were destroyed., The storage taxes and penalties against offenders totalled $23.:!40,00O. At the same time "bootlegging" and whiskey running are becoming harder and harder to suppress, and the fact that $1,000,000 worth of motor cars have been seized by federal agents in raids is significant in this connection. Illlllffllllllllll llllllllll.l MADE IN B. C. Nothing in the way of explanation is required to emphasize the importance of the ".Made in B, ('." campaign which is now being conducted throughout tlie province. Spasmodic attempts have been made from time to time to interest Uritish Columbians In the industrial possibilities of their own part of the Dominion. It has been pointed nut on numerous occasions that ii" each household would take stock of the various commodities tliat are manufactured between the Pacific ('nasi and the Rocky .Mountains they would realize what largo quantities of the imported product might be done without. It would lie patent to them that if Q more liberal patronage were extended to the locally manufactured article the payroll would be Increased by millions oE dollars eacli year, and unemployment would be almost unknown. Hut I here is a tendency in human nature to make tbe grass fn tbo next door neighbor's garden appear a great deal greener than it is. Absence of organized effort to counteract this tendency has been very largely responsible for its existence. On that account the campaign which Is now well under way should bring about a new sense of obligation in tlie mind of every British Columbian and produce tiie desired results. At tlie same time, however, this Imposes upon local manufacturers just as pressing an obligation to give good value and service at reasonable prices. THE SPIRIT OF HERO-WORSHIP In the course of an address, remarkable for its forceful appeal, delivered at a meeting of the Gyro Club in Vancouver the oilier day, Lieut. Gordon B. Jackson, secretary of the Navy League of Canada, referred to the recent visit of the Canadian fleet, and remarked that it was not out of character with the thoughts that still remained in the minds of Vancouver citizens, particularly of the young men, to hold a discussion on matters naval, and in that connection to consider the life and actions of that idol of the fleet, Admiral Nelson, in whose shadow.the present British -Navy still lives and moves. Lieut. Jackson dwelt on the spirit of hero-worship with which tiie England of Nelson's time and tbe whole world after him had endowed the glorious courage and spirit of the admiral. "There is much that was characteristic of him that we might introduce into our life, political, industrial and social, of today," said the speaker. "It Is recalled how he returned his sword to the last captain of the Span isli fleet, as a tribute to a gallant enemy, and when he was criticized, replied: 'I do always what I think right, regardless of custom.' What an example to our politicians. And again when he had returned from tlie Bahamas—'Only to do nothing disgraceful. I always take advantage of my opportunities.' Consider the reforms this might bring about if properly introduced into our industrial and commercial life of the country. Then at the last, six weeks before Trafalgar, he said: 'Whatever happens, I have run a great race.' Socially and religiously this precept might be well followed to the ultimate betterment of the people's welfare. Living in the shadow of that great man, there are no limits to which we may not attain." A YEAR OF PROHIBITION The prohibition amendment in the United States came into force just a year ago. From ollicial records the results attained up to dale may be^summarlzed as follows: During 1920 the American people consumed 41,000,000 proof gallons of distilled spirits, while there are still left in tbe bonded warehouses 51,000,000 gallons, and spirits DONT BE AFRAID! The greatest enemy of the human race is Fear! If we could banish Fenr In all its forms, it would mean more to civilization than any previous step in evolution. Health would be Immeasurably improved; much unhappi- S would be greatly decreased, and success would be the rub'. With the removal of Fear would come real human brotherhood' True democracy would begin. If you are not as well, as happy, as efficient, or as successful as you would like to be, you may find the why in your Fears. "As a man thinketb in his heart, so ho is—physically, in disposition, and in circumstances. Fear thought is toxic, destructive and harmful. Some forms of fear though! are worry, hatred, jealousy, despair, anger, melancholy, discouragement, depression, confusion, negative!.ess, nervousness, lack of self-confidence and foreboding. Faith is the antidote. Faith opposes fear through such forms of thinking as love, optimism, peace, harmony, poise, courage, determination, self-confidence, strength and wliolesonieness. Faith is harmonizing, revivifying nnd healing. Fear of failure is also caused by not thinking well enough of one's self. To banish this and all other forms of fear, one needs another kind of thinking, Replace Fear thoughts with Faith thoughts, and systematically cultivate the new line of thinking until it gets to be a habit. Take a mental inventory today! Seek out your hidden mental weaknesses and expose them to the light of fearless analysis. Get to work upon your Fears and run them out. Flood your whole mental region with Faith. Repeat daily and the results will amaze you.—Forbes Magazine. * Landlords who discriminate against tenants with children under 14 years old will find plenty of grief in the California Senate Bill. This Bill provides that any land lord who refuses to rent or lease property because the tenant has children, or who inserts In a lease a proviso that the tenant shall have no children under 14 years, would be guilty of a misdeameanoi;. The purpose of tbe measure is to curb the practice of landlords in refusing to rent or lease property when the tenant has children. Under present conditions in large California cities, a man with children can hardly lind a place in which to live, There was much mystery about a perpetual motion machine, set up as a sign and advertisement over a street in Los Angeles not long ago. It had the form of a huge wheel that revolved slowly all day and all night, being driven by a number of metal balls which ran along spokes from the centre to the circumference and back. Gravity was supposed to furnish the power, and thus the machine could go on forever without depending upon any other source of energy. Unfortunately, however, there came a day when the city's electrical plant was shut down for repairs and the wheel stopped turning!

For Cumberland, Walker played ( brilliantly in goal, and Strang and Hitchen made a splendid pair of full backs. The halves were very steady, and all the forwards were good, Home being the most dangerous. Of the Victoria West players, Copas at full back was excellent, his fine kicking breaking up a number of rushes. Hob Whyte was steady, and Archie .Muir was the pick of the half- hacks. Thomas also played a hard game. Allan was the best of the forwards. The teams were: Cumberland—Walker; Strang and Hitchen; Brown, Carle and Jackson; Bowman, Milligan, Conti, Home and Harrison.

Right in the early part of the game Union Bay pressed and within ten minutes from the start Auchlnvole, the outside right for Union Bay, beat Walker, the Bevan goalkeeper, with a hard shot. The Bevan boys tried hard to eqti;ili;.p and continued to have as much of the play as tho clam boys, but Bevan's forwards finished up poorly in front of goal on several occasions. Altken and his partners should have had Bevan on equal terms bul lost their opportunities probably owing to being over anxious. Shortly before half- time Johnson, the Union Bay inside left, broke through the Bevan defence and beat Walker again, making the half-time result two goals lo none in favor of I'nlon Bay. More Pep in Socoild Half, The second half started at a fast pace. The Bevan 4»oys seemed determined to even up and within three minutes Altken scored their first goal. After this tliero was lots of pep in the game, but both teams failed to do any further scoring. Bevan boys had hard luck throughout the game, consequently the Union Bay team were fortunate in getting away witli the two points on the day's play. A draw would have been a fair indication of tho game. The Bevan forwards are too slow in front of goal. James L. Brown of Bevan rerereed the game to the satisfaction of all.

BOXES FOR LADIES. Open liny and Mght The following is the second and concluding portion of tlie very able paper read by Mr. C. li. Woods at the lust meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association, it should lie read hy all parents and teachers. The amount of work on the public scliool curriculum is really very- small if repetition is reduced to a minimum. There are only a limited number of facts and principles to be" mastered. These have to be enforced by exercises, but exercises are only necessary until the principle involved is enforced. If by increased attention the principle can be grasped more quickly a large number of exercises can he eliminated. Too often tbe pupils, and in many cases the teacher, consider the exercises us ai' end In themselves and judge their accomplishment by the number of prob- s worked Irrespective of tbe progress In mastery of ihe principle. This means that large tasks are assigned lu school and for home study that bore tlie pupils by repetition, aro accomplished by note and in the end completely distract lite mind from the point that was intended tn l.e emphasised. See that everything at home and at school is done with a purpose and the quantity will automatically be reduced. Tlie question arises how are we to secure Ihe attention that is necessary on the part of the pupil, and the most obvious answer is by appealing to his interest. At this stage the interest must be immediate and direct, while at the high school age it tends to he- come ideal and remote, and to hinge •upon the ultimate goal at which the pupil is aiming. In the years before adolescence we do nol find Ihe remote ideal of much influence, therefore the teacher must make the school work interesting in itself. Loss of interest appears most in the fourth reader, especially among retarded pupils. If it could be avoided there would be far fewer leaving school to go to work at this stage. Interests are looked upon from two different standpoints by the edu- cator. In the first place they are ends md should be encouraged or discouraged as the case may be, and in the second place they are storehouses or agencies for furnishing energy and motive power for the acquisition of knowledge. Interests may be classified into Instinctive and acquired, and into practical, intellectual and emotional. Instinctive interests are present wheu we attend to a thing without previous teaching; acquired interests develop through instruction. Instinctive interests should bo made (lie starting point for acquired ones: for example, the instinct to collect tilings may be used as the starting point for interest in nature study. A practical interest asks, "What use is it?" The intellectual, "What does it mean?" The emotional, "What Is it worth in itself?" The lirst leads to all kinds of invention, the second lo the increase of knowledge, and the third to the development of all forms of art. Each or all may he utilized in appealing to the pupil. The followers of Herhart have allowed interest to become synonomous with ease or pleasure, hence its failure as a pedagogical doctrine. The teacher must remember the satisfaction that comes to a pupil on the completion of a hard task, and that permanent interests are only developed under the stress of voluntary attention. Children should therefore be given hard tasks hut not so hard as to be beyond their powers. Interest in abstract thinking is rare while practical interest in doing things is omnipresent. We have inherited a tradition which puts the emphasis in the wrong place, and we are changing our methods far too slowly. Under tlie present arrangement of the curriculum much can be done to create interest hy careful planning of lessons, variety, visualizing and rendering concrete all possible ideas by illustrations and examples. Still more can be done hy placing everything on a basis of cause and effect. Geography is an admirable subject for the application of tills idea, and yet it would appear that in many schools it is still taught as an enormous list of capes, hays, cities and products to he memorized. Present- day educators are interested in devising ways and means by which to give the initiative to the pupil wherever possible. They have coined tlie word "motivation" to express what they mean. Out of tills general idea there lias arisen what is called the project method of leaching, a method which if it could be fully applied would practically solve the whole problem of interest. It consists in short of working out practical tasks which are not only worth doing in themselves but tench in a practical way the facts and principles that will tit the child for life. The following will illustrate what I mean: In many schools in Canada and the United States playground supervision done by the pupils themselves I elected representatives on the model of a civic organization, with mayor aldermen, chief of police, etc. This system not only works well in the maintenance of discipline and in the training of tbe pupils in responsible ity, initiative and cooperation, but it tlie most effective lesson possible in practical civics. Let us apply the method to the subject of arithmetic. Suppose someone near the school to be building a house. Get the class to make actual measurements and work out the various practical calculations necessary. This would involve departing from the text hook and iis orderly sequence, but would be far more effective in the end. The same idea can be worked out in a modified way for most subjects. 'Ihe merits and shortcomings of plan are a broad study in themselvel and are today egaging the attention of many progressive educators. The great advantage is that it arouses the interest and supplies the motive power to what is otherwise meaningless. When we pass to the high school stage we observe a decided psychological change. Adolescence is the period of ambition—of air castles, if you will. It is a matter of common knowledge that the *teen years aro the ones in which the ideals are formulated which shape the rest of life. It ought to ho our endeavor as parents and educators to influence and direct this motive power of ambition. This is tlie stage when cooperation at home can help more than at any other. We have too low a conception of the meaning and value of education and too low a goal for our hoys and girls. There are at present iu high scliool boys and girls who have the stuff of which greatness is made —brains, potential leadership and sound judgment. Several of them would do well in professional or managerial careers. There is probably not one of them who, if he chose, could not have a university training, for there are throughout Canada hundreds of lads annually working themselves to positions of eminence by persistence, thrift and an unswerving ambition. But these hoys and girls of ours do not know what positions are open to them nor what steps are necessary to reach them. They will never know unless we tell them; but the telling alone is not sufficient, To that must he added the confidence on our part which assures (he boy that it is really within his reach. For girls there are fewer positions than for boys, hut none the less many. Mrs. Vincent Masscy of Toronto has recently done valuable service hy publishing ti little book on "Occupations for Trained Women in Canada." in which she gives carefully compiled statistics on all classes of opportunities that are available. For boys the most attractive opportunity Is the Rhodes scholarship, an appointment worth $4600 to the recipient. The fact that Greek and Latin are requirements limits the number of candidates each year to a very few, so that I venture to state that we could find a boy in this school who might easily win the prize, ln addition to these special opportunities there are all the professional and highly trained business careers which should attract the best Intellects. It rests with us to inspire confidence in (lie pupils, show them clearly (he possibilities, steady their efforts, and keep their minds firmly fixed on their objective. Cumberland has already produced some distinguished scholars. Their success did not depend so much on genius as on persistent, well- directed application. Too often I fear that tho fact that the finances are not at hand for a higher education leads a parent to dissuade children from ambitions which they fear could not ho realized. Tills is unfortunate In these days when every facility is being given the student to finance his own career. People forget tliat a university education costs no more than a moderate priced automobile. Although I have said considerable about the university and its attractions, I do not wish to be understood as claiming for It more than its due.

Education is not primarily a money-making investment, even though a certain American investigator claims that each day spent in high scliool is worth ten dollars to the papil. However, practically all trades are becoming so technical as to require more than a public school education and tho boy who goes no farther than the fourth reader is badly handicapped indeed. We claim to he living in a scientific age, yet we have endless scientific devices iu common use of which tlie average layman knows nothing. The sociologist tells us that the hope of the world lies in education, but never before. I venture, was the average person so far behind the outposts in scientific matters as today. How much have scientific methods of thought Influenced us when we permit charlatans, quacks and palmists to thrive al our expense? How far have we gone when people ou every hand avow mistrust in modern medical practice based on bacteriology and the use of antiseptics? How far have we been successful in inculcating the principles of so practical a subject as hygiene when the government of this province will build this "thoroughly modern building" (the new school) with absolutely no provision for ventilation except hy opening the windows? The average layman may know a few of tlie results of science, but as for tlie scientific attitude of mind wliieh bans prejudice and deals wilh facts alone, it has yet made little Impression on our generation. If we have any interest ill the betterment uf the race we must believe in education iu its broadest sense, and if our youth are to receive this benefit we must show them that we have profound faith in the value of school work because it makes them broader- minded citizens. Then there is tho whole realm of the aestetlc. Growing importance is being attached to the development of taste in tlie several branches of art, It is unfortunate that iu school we do so little music, and drawing so very imperfectly. The one great realm we do explore is literature, and too often it is made the scape-goat for barren word-study and analysis. Few pupils feel great interest in poetry because they have not been taught to appreciate it and because the examples before them constantly require so much effort of the understanding to obscure the emotional appeal. Here again it is our duty to know tlie value, to assure the novice that the reward is worth tlie effort, that a real appreciation of art is one of the most precious attainments a person can have. I have taken pains to show you that secondary education as we have it at present is worth while, first because it leads to positions of distinction and responsibility which are not beyond the reach of anyone who is ambitious. Second because it is absolutely necessary for efficient life In an ordinary occupation, and lastly because training is the only entry to the endless enjoyment of the pleasures of art. Let us believe these tilings firmly ourselves and let us act upon that belief in such a way that our pupils cannot help but he impressed by the same ideas. Let it he our first aim to encourage each one to adopt a definite goal, even If it has later to be modified. At present practically no boy in high scliool has made up his mind what lie would like to be, much less what he is determined to be; hence we lack the motive force which causes difficult things to be attacked witli vigor and optimism. There is much in school work that is difficult and much whose value is not apparent to pupil or parent. True, there is much room for improvement in tlie curriculum, though wc must remember that tlie present subjects are pre requisites for more advanced work, and so long as the higli school stands as the connecting link between tlie common school and the university the course must remain tlie same. When the public are ready to provide technical education, of course school will appeal much more to the average person, but in the meantime we must make the best of what wo have. At tlie high school ago we must assume that scliool work is a whole- time occupation, The curriculum Ib designed to suit tlie ability of the average student. Unless a pupil is unusually brilliant (in which case it is usually better not to tell him so) he is courting failure unless he is giving his work his maximum of attention. The question then is, what is the best disposal of a pupil's time in the Interests of true economy. Too much mental work produces dullness. Sleep, exercise, fresh air, sport, are as essential for the adolescent as at any period, or even more so. because some of tho best traits of character can only he developed by such means as team games and cooperative ac- linn on tho playground, We nil remember the famous saying that Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton. Today there ore too many side interests which demand attention, notably tlie pictures and the dances. Children are growing up too young and we must look to the home to correct the trouble. United action will be necessary to avoid discrimination hut iu the interest of education it must he done. It is quite unreasonable to expect pupils to make progress if these and similar things are indulged in to tlie extent they arc at present. Education means sacrifice as does everything that is worth while, and failure to learn this lesson is Ihe first cause of disaster. The counterpart of tliis youthful pleasure- leoking Is tlie lack of appreciation of ihe value of money. Those of us who won an education hy economy and lolf-denial arc appalled by the amount sj>ent by children iu tills town on tilings of no real value. Returning to the time question, tlie scliool day in high school is taken up almost entirely by recitation and ivrlting of text exorcises, therefore ne preparation must he done at home.

B.C. ard of accomplishment is set by the Matriculation Department. The amount of homework to be done ls simply the amount required to accomplish this work with a margin of safety. Granted systematic methods of study, concentration, regular habits, and freedom from Interruption, it ought to be possible for a pupil to make satisfactory progress by doing two hours a night five nights a week. Still the time rate of study varies so greatly that one Is scarcely safe to venture a specific prescription. The amount must always he judged by the accomplishment. Examination results are the only sure guide. It is very certain that every gramme means progress sacrificed A pupil cannot go out In the evening and then return at ten o'clock to do successful work; and yet we hear of girls doing their work after returning from a dance nt two in the morning. Many people praise the residential schools, but their chief advantage is that they impose a discipline wliieh parents are unwilling to insist upon at home. As a final point let me suggest that tlie work of the high school would he made much easier if hoys and girls were encouraged to adopt hobbies of some sort even if it were nothing more than a little serious reading. When we consider that the matricula tion class of today are your teachers a year from now, the fact that they are not training themselves to make use of or appreciate serious literature takes on a different aspect. Several of the senior subjects in high school take for granted collateral advancement in general knowledge, and the tact that this side effort is lacking is one reason why the work of the school is found more difficult as the pupil advances. Two men were wandering through a cemetery examining the quaint tombstones. "Look here," said one, "here's a queer one: 'Sacred to Thomas Sitter, a Lawyer and an Honest Man.'" "What did they want to put all three in one grave for?" asked his companion. 'Trotter seems to be a very happy man. He has no bills to pay." 'How's that?" 'No one will trust him." When two young people stop to look in a jewelers' window, there's something tentative in the air. THE EXCHANGE RATE IX.--What Controls It? IN the previous numbers of this series we have endeavored to explain the various factors bearing on the exchange value abroad of our dollar. We will now summarize the methods by which this value may be restored. By increasing Canadian production we can supply our domestic requirements and enlarge our surplus for export. This, if accompanied by a drastic decrease in our imports, especially of luxuries, will go far to adjust our trade balance. As exchange becomes favorable to us, gold will flow in more freely, the reserves against paper currency will regain their former sound basis and the restrictions on the export of gold will be removed| The great stabilizing factor in exchange fluctuations will therefore be restored. There are two further matters of equally great importance; the first, that so far as possible we cease to purchase luxuries, even those of domestic manufacture, and divert the sums thus saved to productive enterprises, either by direct investment or by depositing the money in the bank; the second, that we must all strive to work at our greatest capacity, not shirking, but taking pride in achieving a full output, whether we are doing manual or mental work. The personal advantages of accumulating savings are so obvious that they need not be repeated here. If this series has achieved its object, the national importance of industry aiid thrift to insure the prosperity of Canada and to re-establish the value of the Canadian dollar throughout the world will be clear to you.

LTD. Office 2620 Bridge Street, Victoria, B.C. VICTORIA.—The Metropolis senior soccer team Bcored a notable victory Good Friday when they defeated tlie redoubtable Cumberland team tn the Vancouver Island League fixture by four goals to nothing. It was a well- deserved win, though until near tlie end of the game the difference between tlie two teams was not very marked, and the Cumberland men were fighting up to the end. In the first half, with the wind and sun in their favor, the Mots had a little the better of it, and were more often on tho attack than were their opponents, Soon after the start Pottlcrew narrowly missed scoring for (he Mets and some minutes after the Cumberland goal was in Imminent danger when the ball rolled out of the goalkeeper's hands after his stopping a hard shot, and there was nobody there to boot it in. Cumberland were having their share of the game, however, and a fine shot by their inside left would have Just gone under the bar had not Leemlng saved it with a good effort. The Cumberland men played a clever passiug game, but the Mets seemed to have a little more "pep," and when Plump Bcored at short range a few minutes before half-time, and made the score one to nothing, he made it a very fair indication of how the play had gone. With the wind behind them in the second half, there was good reason for thinking that the Cumberland boys might easily even up and possibly win out. They started away in good shape and then missed a soft chance to score almost immediately after the kick-off. They continued to press, and Leemlng was the busy man for a while and was called on to make several good saves. Cumberland was undoubtedly playing the better football of the two teams in the first half of the second period. Then the Mets seemed to get a fresh supply of "pep" and after the ball had been kept fairly continuously iu their half of the field things began to bu more even again. The Met forwards came down the field with a determined attack which ended, after one or two ineffectual shots, iu Petticrew heading thu ball iu for the Mets' second goal. Tlie Cumberland forwards came right back, and Leeming brought off another good .save just hy thu corner oi his goal. A corner kick resulted bul came to nothing, and tlie ball traveled rapidly to the Cumberland und again. It hovered in that vicinity for a considerable time, and then at last Plump got an opening and made it three to nil for good measure. There wns still thirteen minutes left for play when one of the Cumberland backs had to go off with a damaged foot, but the game was already won and lost, although it is true that thu Mets' goal had a narrow escape almost immediately afterwards.

Editor of "Oral Hygiene." An Inlay is a Ailing thai is made outside of thu mouth and whon finished is fastened in the tooth cavity with a dental cement. Tho making of inlays is a very ancient process that was a lost art (or many cenlnries. The Aztecs of old .Mexico used a green stone as we use inlays, but was purely decorative. The Aztec nobility had fanciful designs in their front teeth, probably tribal marks on tlie order of our coat-of-arms. then the greenstone was cleverly cut lo fit the cavity and cemented with a very durable transparent cement. The durability of these prehistoric inlays is proved by the fact that there are in existence a number of Aztec skulls wilh the green stone still (irmly in place. Inlays of porcelain were the flrBt to be made in modem times. Porcelain was used because it can be made to closely approximate the color and characteristics of the natural teeth. 'Ihe process of making a porcelain-in lay is very difficult but the result is so satjsfactory that many are made for fillings where gold would be objectionable. Tbe gold inlay is now very widely used. There are tunny ways to make them, but the object is the same; thai is. lo perfectly fill the cavity, to restore the original contour, and lu be durable. All of these things a gold inlay does. The miniature casting tliat Is required to make a gold inla- i.~. an art of modern times. Gobi inlays are made wilh remarkable accuracy, and as thoy are made outside of the mouth, they are mm h less painful than gold fillings thai must be mat- leted into the tooth. Whether a good gold Inlay Is better for the tooth than a gold tilling that is also good, is not yet decided. I should say that either one Is all right. COATPOCKEf TENT.
