still more important. Plato and Aristotle, per- haps the greatest thinkers of all time. agree that education is the very root and life-blood of political progress. To say that education, even if this ideal followed, will be a panacea for all the ills and troubles that oppress us is without doubt an exaggeration, but we can and do say that it will be of great assistance. -Gordon Jeffery. IV C. My Qpinion of Morning Hssemblies T has often struck me as a profound mystery why we all seem so dull, and our teachers so unbearably irritable, on Wednesday morn- ings. One particularly gloomy Wednesday morn- ing, as the forty-four minute stroke of the nrst period clicked by, my head suddenly struck the desk. as I dozed in peaceful slumber. I awoke with a start! It had dawned on me! I had missed my regular morning invigorator, assem- bly in the auditorium. An age old proverb says Absence makes the heart grow fonderf' In keeping with this axiom,-the more I miss assembly, the more I long for it. Unless stimulated by a lusty song or school yell, we do not seem quite awake as we wearily trudge towards our desks. Having a forty-five minute dose of us to look forward to, a sim- ilarly affected staff is present to greet our arrival. fHoping you will keep the secret between you and me. I believe. despite their stern mien and disapproving glances, they enjoy assembly as much as, and, if possible, perhaps more than we do.D Seriously, though, I Consider the privilege of meeting in auditorium a real treat. Without it, our school life would certainly be extremely boring. It brings a great variety of entertain- ment--song, news of the school and its occu- pants, hilarious skits, and, to remind us where we are, notilication to report our reason-or shall I say excuse ?-for skipping detentions to the ofiice, immediately after adjournment. Speaking of the entertainment provided during our assemblies, one feels greatly indebted to the forgotten group, those who work behind the scenes to prepare slides, musical arrangements, and skits to amuse us. Their work, although not openly praised enough, is appreciated by all, I am sure. So, here's to auditoriumg may it live long and last longer! -Charles Hoare, IV C. SOUTH C. I. British Economic Recovery RITISH economic recovery has not been an overnight one. but a gradual change. The policies adopted to relieve the dire situation were carried out according to the British tradi- tion-in a dignified manner. There was no blare of trumpets. no broadcasting of details of the plan. At the time of the British crisis in 1931. the Labor Government was in power. The leaders of this party were opposed to suspen- sion of the Gold Standard. for they felt this would mean loss of international prestige. They were urged by the bankers and financiers to try drastic economy measures, but this would have meant a big increase in unemployment. Inability of the leaders to decide on a definite policy led to the resignation of the Labor Government. A National Coalition Govern- ment, which adopted an Off the Gold Stand- ard and higher tariff policy, was then formed. Even Phillip Snowden, a Labor representative in the new government, who was originally a rank Free Trader, advocated the high tariff. as he felt this to be a necessary measure for British recovery. The co-operation of the Brit- ish people generally aided materially. They carried the burden of taxation uncomplainingly. accented the conversion bonds and poured into the British exchequer their old gold. The policy of 'teconomyu was gradually dropped. Wealthy people were urged to spend, and as the rate of interest fell, business men were pressed to borrow. Building societies experienced a boom, and conditions in general began to improve. The recovery policy was capitalistic rather than socialistic, so that the confidence of the capitalists and iinanciers was restored. The mental attitude of the entire British nation became optimistic. Britain was well on to recovery before the world realized that some expert internal financing was being done and, after 1932, Britain's recovery aided some in the alleviation of the economic crises in the world as a Whole. -Jean Jarmaine, IV C.

l-low Con Conoda Contribute Toward World Peooe ? GOLD MEDAL ESSAY - BY LLOYD STEVENSON HE most obvious way in which Canada can contribute towards world peace is by sup- porting Great Britain and the League of Nations in their efforts for international amity. Lord Cecil's recent Peace Ballot has shown con- clusively that the British people are peace- minded, and Great Britain's tremendous power and prestige a1'e on the side of peace: the other nations of the Commonwealth can strengthen this influence by their loyalty. The League, though hampered, perhaps, by too rigid a cove- nant, is still the world's best guarantee against war, and should receive Canada's whole-hearted support. It is commonly agreed that the pressure of increasing populations in the countries of Europe is one of the causes of war. Canada. being a large, underpopulated country, can help to relieve this pressure by welcoming immi- grants from Europe. Government restrictions on immigration might be relaxed somewhat without endangering national interests. Since nickel is an essential for the making of armaments, Canada's predominance in nickel production has forced upon her a grave respon- sibility to the world community. Canadian nickel should not be exported to an aggressive belligerent in time of war-in the present case this means Italy. This restriction, subject to the decision of the League, should apply also to wheat and other exports, even although applica- tion of League sanctions will mean a loss to Canada of approximately 53.250000 annually for the duration of the Italo-Ethiopian war. For more than a century Canada has lived at peace with her neighbour, the United States Republic. This continued peace has been built on the foundation of mutual trust and friend- ship, and comparatively low tariffs. Protection not only diminishes trade, but it transforms the competition between economic groups into a strife between nations. If Canada is able, by reciprocity arrangements with other nations, to lead the way in lowering tariff walls, she will have made a material contribution to world peace. But Canada's relation to the United States has another significance: the strengthening of the bond between the Republic and Great Britain. It has often been declared that if SOUTH C. I. 4. i X S .

L' 4 1 .s '-,fi f' Great Britain and the United States were to join hands in their efforts for peace, their com- bined strength would be irresistible. And Canada can do much to bring about this union of purpose. It has been said that education for peace means a diminution in the intensity of the emotions and passions and loyalties which make war possible. Canadian children should not be encouraged to be ardent, aggressive 'tpatriotsf' Our system of education should foster a con- ception of the human race as a whole, and of the interdependence of nations. Moreover, this conception should form a part of the adult education in Canada: immigrants from Europe should not be urged to give over their old attachments altogether, but rather to let them flourish side by side with their new loyalty to Canada, so that the new Canadians may become, in a measure, world citizens. . . . We turn the pages Of a larger atlas: telegrams come in From China, and the world is mapped. . -fCharles Madgf.-3.1 Canadian citizens should keep themselves informed on international questions, to the end that there be a sound body of public opinion to influence the government in time of crisis. Any effort for the betterment of social con- ditions, both in Canada and abroad, is a con- tribution towards world peace, since it makes peace more attractive, more satisfying. -Lloyd Stevenson VB.
