This was general throughout the Krnpire and beyond. Jt was bolstered up by propaganda, hy psychologii al influence. In the heating ot drums, the singing of national airs and waving of flags. With it went u sprit of sacrifice which earned in its train linum prohibition. These were general movements, mas.- mov enien: -. and they had a great effect for good or for ill on tiie individuals. Again theie are those who declare that nothing good can come except by individual reformation. Those wh.. believe in religion sometimes take the view that onjy by converting each individual one by one can the world ever improve. Individual effort is with them the only thing that counts. They view with -uspo jon national movements and mass changes. As a matter. of fact it is the combination of the two by which text results can be obtained. Public conscience is formed by the individual and to a large extent the individual is made to conform to the public conscience. There ale many men and women who under the best environment live model ihe- but put in the mbany of loose and dissolute per-on- they themselves become loose and dissolute. They are the people most influenced in the mass. The moral of the whole matter is that if we wish improvement in the homes, the community, the province, the country, the empire or the world, we have to do our little part right here and now. WORK OF I.O.D.E. Tt is the mass influence that is attempted in the work of the I.O.D.K. in their effort to inculcate a patriotic .-pint in the young people of the community. The big gathering in the theatre, t lie saluting of the flag and the singing and addresses all Until to do that. .It j.s a good movement uud one that is worthy of encouragement. Weiniust cultivate a national spirit in order that our people may take a pride In their country. The spirit o the age Is a critical one.

At a Vecent gathering the question of whether democracy was a success or a failure was discussed at some length. As in all similar discussions there was no finality to it. It was shown that in many respects democracy was a failure. A democratic form of government was often expensive and ineffective, as compared with an absolute government. The alternative was that it was only through democracy that the common people could learn the arts of government and in the end learn to be self-governing. We are all new to education and have not yet learned in the school of experience how to use the little we have. Often the school men who are supposed to be the best educated are least able to apply what they have. Democracy is more or less in embryo at present. What it will be in its fuller development none of us can say.
