Kaslnni r THE VALE OF KASHMIR, celebrated in I. tic song and story, has been feeling the hand - of war. What amounts to civil strife in India has widened to include this mountain Eden in northwest Hindustan. But, in all likelihood, popular conception of the land is misleading. Kashmir can ".' inspire more than poetry, day dreaming, and dwelling of fanciful delights, and can produce more than Kashmir shawls of very practical as well as aesthetic comfort. Despite high altitude and at times a cool climate, the fruits and flowers, corn and wheat attest a rich fertility, not to mention natural beauty of rare charm. There are ten passes. All in all, Kashmir may be said to be one of the most attractive regions in al! India, yet here the withering blasts of fire 1 1,1 1 .1 l TJ-J.-.1.. 1 if 1 j?:i.a bloodily for control.

The new Prince George being built in Victoria is a magnificent ship equipped with one huge funnel this vessel takes the place of'an old three-stacker of the same name. She will be practically as fast as the original ship; the accommodation will be several times as great and vastly more comfortable. This is as it should be because she will cost about three times as much as her forerunner. Three stacks or one, we shall congratulate the Canadian National on a very -splendid addition to' its fleet.

REVERSE MIGRATION M I V I UCH IS HEARD just now of the increasing number of VOiinP" Cnnarlinns whn nrp mnvinor into the United States in the belief that, by so doing they will find prosperity and prospects more satisfactory and encouraging. It is interesting to read in the Daily News that a. good-sized American family, after living for more than twenty years in Kalamazoo, Michigan, decided it was time for a change. The head of the house visited the coast last September, looked over Prince Rupert, concluded he had found the best city to re-locate in and all arrived here. last week-end, to make this community their home. They demonstrated their faith by pulling up stakes and driving four thousand miles. SENTIMENTAL OR PRACTICAL THERE IS SENTIMENT in bringing home to the I United States of bodies of soldiers killed in faraway battlefields. Such will give some measure of comfort to the bereaved. To parents, kin and friends the realization that all which is mortal of the loved and lost are home can lighten brooding sorrow. But there is another angle to the situation. There had been military burials and in sanctified ground, they were at rest forever. Possibly, if the same effort, outlay and use of deepsea shipping essential in "operation taps" had been applied to the problems and perplexities of the living, and the honored dead left to remain undisturbed, more actual and practical good would have been accomnlished. POWER OF DESCRIPTION ALL SIGNS POINT TO 1948 being the greatest travel year the Pacific Coast has ever known. Many thousands who, for a variety of reasons, did. not come north last season will be here next. And more with them. There is ample reason why British Columbia is outstanding. The same goes for Alaska. The scenic, seas of the "inside passage" offer a charm not outmatched in all the immensity and beauty of the rest of Canada and the United States. That's why they come. If a holiday journey such as can be had here, is described so much the better for all concerned. It should be remembered, how- ever, that a good description of anything is hard work, and hard work has been known to be unpopular. Nine times out of ten, the returned traveller will say "everything was wonderful and lovely and everyone had a grand time" all of which tells precisely nothing. There is such a seeming anomaly as having good vision, t and yet being unable to see. There is, with s.qme, possession of an inner insight that gives a true picture of a place without ever having been there. It surpasses the best efforts of a lifetime resident. It is said John Greenleaf Whittier, author . q "The Red River Valley," was never within a thousand miles of Manitoba. Still, in the brief poem, he gave an uncanny truthfulness, an essence and spirit to this glimpse of Canada's, .early west. Education Week DEMOCRACY IN EDUCATION (By a Teacher) "The kind of environment we place around a child will invariably react on the child." If the school prepares him for "Demorcatic living" It is per forming its job. The needs for democratic living are many. The Canadian Educational Council deals with the plans and curricula to make this possible but, beyond all, making them effective is the teaching profession. Let us briefly trace a child through his school career and then take an inventory to see whether or not the school has prepared him for democracy. The school receives our child in a group that has a great vari-iety of individual differences. He may or may not have had experiences in getting along with others. He may or may not have learned habits of cleanliness. He may have had experiences from books, stories, toys, games that develop motor control, church environment and many other similar events. Our problem Is, "How well is he prepared for school?" Now, we- see him in school, where he becomes one of a group. The opportunity for his proper development exists and he finds many new things to hold his attention. He finds out that he can only receive part of the attention and that he must adjust to a new pattern so he may fit in as a social being, His previous training will now play an important part in his school life. He may find school interesting and a happy place to be or he may suffer from the attention his parents shower on him. He may receive the understanding and sympathy his teacher will give and immediately react to it by becoming a well adjusted child. Since his attitude and position is secure school will become a happy place to be. Educational growth may be rapid and he will make friends and find good in everything. Certainly there will be problems and difficulties with his growth in mind and body but the same sympathetic guide will help him overcome all obstacles until his school career is ended. ..Finally he grows Into manhood. He must find his vocation in life. Is he prepared to meet this challenge? Let us now evaluate the man we have had the honor and responsibility of training. Has the church done its share? Has the home? Has the school? Is the child capable to fit into a field of work in which he will be familiar and happy? Does this boy desire some form of security? Does he wish to have a home and family? Does he uphold his religious beliefs and practices? Is he anxious that all shall enjoy a reasonable amount of freedom? If he Is not .a good leader is he a good follower? Does he believe that since people have to abide by laws, they should play a part in making them? Is he acceptable to the group? Does he believe in some common objects of allegiance? If we have taught the child instead pf the subject so that he can measure up to this test of citizenship, surely we may proudly say: "Our child is pre pared for Democratic living. T, G. BATEMAN.

' This "other type," it is re-I ported, is the Vickers Super-' marine Attacker, a single-seat fighter fitted with a Rolls-Royce nene jet engine develop- ing more man o.ouu norsepower The Attacker lacks the Spitfire's graceful lines, but has a maximum speed of 590 miles an hour, an operational celling of 48,500 feet and can climb 30,000 feet in 6.17 minutes. I The first Spitfire took the air In 1937 after six years of planning. Its initial speed was 362 miles an hour, which was increased to 450. Later models could climb at 4,800 feet a minute, compared with an original 2,500 feet. It? basic design was never al- j tered, although experiments were made with wings and en-gines, and it served the R. A. F. as a fighter, figher-bomber, re connaissance plane and aircraft carrier plane. It cannot, however, be converted to jet engines.

Questions will be fed in on punched tape and answers delivered on a teleprinter. There are 32 of the four-foot mercury tubes, more than 1,000 valves and miles of wire in the machine.
