PRIZE ESSAY BY MISS hIARIORY PATO)fr ON EDUCATION The Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire consider Educa- tion of paramount importance, realizing that only as the mem- bers of the British Empire, par- ticularly the younger genera- tion, learn to think logically, and become more conversant with things ss they are today, and have been in the past, will they develops into rea) assets to that Empire. And so, the Duncan Lawson Chapter, was particular- ly pleased to have a share in the activities of Education Week, recently held in )Vest Vancouver and in the province and to pre- sent s set of Shakespeare's works in three volumes to Miss Marjory Paton, the winner of an Essay written by about two hun- dred pupils on "The Value of Education." This Essay, a copy of uphich has been presented to the Chap- ter by hfiss Paton, is considered by tbe Chapter to be of such outstanding merit that they have asked us, if possible, to print it, so that our readers may all have the opportunity of en- joying it. school how to do things prompt ly and efl'iciently, he will bear that training in mind when he attempts other work. Toleration for other people ls very important. If Protestants had been tolerant of Catholic teachings in the past, and vice versa, many persecutions would have been prevented, Any other man has as much right to think as we have. Countries, if toler- ant of each other can avoid war by peaceful negotiations and willingness to correct narrow- mindedness. Last, but not kast, education enables a child to live s physical- ly-flt life, which is exceedingly necessary. In school, a student is taught the composition of the body, and functions of its many different organs, and how to take care of this precious piece of unduplicated mechanism. Lives msy be saved, and home purified by attaining some know- ledge of the hygiene of the body. Although I have mentioned but s few facts, the values of education are innumerable, and are essentially necessary to every young child, who wishes to benefit himself by any gains in this hard battle of life, TISDALL PAYS ALL SALARIES Salaries of all municipal em- ployees in the District of North Vancouver have been paid to the end of December, hfr. Charles E. T)sdafl, commissioner, announc- ed Tuesday. "I have been able to obtain sufficient funds to pay all muni- cipal salaries to the end of Dec- ember, he states. "School teach- ers'alaries have been paid to date, as far as the municipality is concerned. The balance of their wages will be given out as soon as the government grant is received which should be within a few days." To give unemployed of the municipality s chance to help themselves, Mr. Tisdall states that every facility to cut fire- wood on municipal land has been offered them. He also announces that they will be allowed to use s portion of the municipality's holding of tax sale property on which to grow vegetables. The Values of Education For many hundreds of years, the civilization of the world has progressed rapidly, and one of the outstanding achievements of that progress is its incise)ng appreciation of the values of education. Thousands of par- ents spend smafl fortunes yearly in order to educate their sons and daughters. For what reason? Education must surely have a high value in their eyes. I shall endeavor to discuss a few of the more important of these values. Education, in the widest sense is that course of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding. It may be divided into four classes )nteflectua), physical, moral and social education. I shall lay stress upon the intellectual and physical side of the discussion. Fofi my first point, I will em- phasize the necessity of being educated in the manners and customs of other countries. A splendid example of the lack of diplomatic knowledge is in the case of George m of England, a fine, though stubborn patriot. If he had been educated in the customs, manners, and ways of thinking of the English Colonies in America, he would not have forced taxation without repre- sentation upon them, causing their rebellion. England gained, instead of valuable and filia coL onies, an eager, commercial rival of renowned prowess. Now, I desi with vocations. Education cultivates the taste, and forms the manners and hab- its of youth, to fit them for use- fulness in future stations. Some knowledge of the sciences, music and art is essential to even the "every-day man," especially if he hopes to attain to higher positions. If a child is taught in STAh)P NEWS The West Vancouver Stamp Club will meet at St. Stephen's Hall on Tuesday, January 10th, at 8 p.m. Major Howden will give s paper on The Commemor- ative Issues of Japan.

Salting salmon in the home may be done by s very simple method, and the Nanaimo sta- tion of the Biological Board of Canada a research body operat- ing under the control of the hiinister of Fisheries, tells what it is. By following this method the housewife may put up s nourish- ing snd tasty food and have a supply on hand for family use from time to time. Here is the substance of a statement prepared at the sta- tion, outlining the method to fol- low: Clean strictly fresh fish--Vno preserving process, however thorough, can yield a tasty or wholesome product from fish which k stale"--and then strip the flesh from the bones. Cut the fish into smaller pieces and score the skin lightly with a knife in several places. Rinse thorough- ly in cold water to remove all blood and slime; rub each piece of fish with moderately fine (dairy) salt and place the pieces uniformly over a generous layer of salt in the bottom of a con- tainer such as an earthenware crock, a tub, or even an apple box; sprinkle a layer of salt over the first layer of pieces and con- tinue to build up alternate layers of fis and salt, using, in all, about two pounds of salt to every pound of fish. The salt will im- mediately begin to draw out the moisture, and this action should be allowed to proceed for three or four days in a cool, dry place. If a water-tight container has been used, brine will form from the salt and accumulated water in the course of a day or two. The fish tends to float in this brine and should be pressed under t)te aurfaca)htr a cover and weights. At the end of the third or fourth day, tilt the container on edge until the brine has com- pletely drained away, carrying with it a certain amount of resi- dual slime and impurities. Now repack the pieces as before, us- ing plenty of fresh salt, and at the end of the sixth or seventh day, pour off any new brine which may have formed. With- out repacking, cover as tightly as possible and store in as cool and dry a place as can be found. This fish should keep for several months. For those who prefer a strong flavor to their fish, repacking may be avoided by laying s piece of muslin or cotton over the top layer of fish as packed and spreading several pounds of coarse salt on this to act as a weight: After three or four days life up the cloth and see whether enough brine has formed to reach the level of the cloth when it is in place. If not, add the necessary amount of cold, con- centrated brine made by dissolv- ing three and one-half pounds of fine salt in a gallon of water, and replace the cloth. The coarse salt on the cloth insures/the brine being kept saturated. The container may now be covered and stored as above. In this case the fish are kept in brine in- stead of in dry salt. A variation of the second plan is to drain off the firs brine which collects and, without re- packing, cover the fish with fresh brine prepared as describ- ed. Replace the cloth with its layer of salt, lit with a tight cover snd store as above. The pouring oif of the firs brine, re- moves the slightly sour taste, which is however preferred by some. If s non water-tight container such as an apple box is used, the brine seeps sway as fast as it is formed snd it is only necessary to repack the pieces with plenty of fresh salt st the end of the third day, repeating this pack- ing after a week if the lish is to be kept for many months. In general, the product thus treat- ed ls not quite so pleasing in ap- pearance since the ready access of air is apt to cause s yellow discoloration.
