Canadian Club to Meet Next Thursday In dealing with the future of Canada, Dean R. )V. Brock of the University of British Colum- bia, delivered a most learned ad- dress to the North Shore Canad- ian Club, on Thursday last. The most important elements for the growth of a new country are its temperature, rainfall, ele- vation, and coal supply or water power for industrial develop- ment. In all these factors, Nat- ure has been most generous to Canada. Her central geographi- cal key position should be no small factor in developing trade with countries both across the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and the wealth of her natural resources embrace the elements of practically all the basic commodities in demand throughout the world. The speaker declared that be- fore the end of the present cent- ury, the trade across the Pacific will exceed the present trade a- cross the Atlantic. He urged the encouragement of trade with the Fiji Islands, declaring that they should be as important to Can- ada as are the Hawaiian Islands to the United States. The Fiji Islands, if properly developed, would supply much of the de- mand for tropical products in Canada, and there would remain in exchange an open market for articles pr&xluced in this coun- try.

The performance is about to be repeated; aml as a plain man I venture to state my own view- point, It ought to be the concern of our school boards to subject to critical examination any scheme of publicity which contemplates the exploitation of the pupils. The trustees are directly respon. sible to the whole school com- munity for the efficient conduct of the schools. Every scheme which calls for the concentration of teachers on the choosing and trnining of a hand-picked group involves the partial neglect of the great majority. Quite a number of boys who could well have completed a creditable school course can date the slack- ening of their interest in their work to a period when the inter- est of their teachers was tem- porarily diverted to preparation for some public stunt. I wish to refer to the practic- al uselessness of the public spell- ing competition. A spelling bee. restricted to adults, is a good scheme for securing an evening' entertainment in 3 rural district. But the gift of spelling aloud with correctness finds no field in real life for its exercise, un- less in the case of teachers and pupils in classes too young to write. A knowledge of spelling by ear does not help us to guess at a badly pronounced word, which is the real problem to the listener. The gift of practical importance in spelling is that of recognizing a mis-spelled word in writing or printing, which is an altogether different one from that of spelling aloud with cor- rectness. In this, as in some other educational matters, the end is largely indirect. A badly spelled letter is generally taken as an evidence of a poor educa- tion. But the reluctance to en- trust the writer of a badly spellel letter with a position of respons- ibility where matters of record are concerned rests upon the evi- dence which it affords of his carelessness or want of cencen- tration while reading. The mis- spelling is quite a minor thing beside this. The gift of spelling aloud has only a roundabout con- nection with the point of prac- tical importance; and practical men are justified in such a case in setting down the organizers of public spelling contests as pedantic triflers if nothing else.
