DAILY EDITION Wednesday, Oct. 30, 1929 ONTARIO ELECTIONS The Ontario elections are on today and it seems as if the liquor policy of the Ferguson government was on trial. There is more than that in the election, however. The Ferguson government is Conservative and today the people of Ontario are Conservative. If today there should be a weakening in the Conservative solidarity, it will mean that the party there is weakening.. However, it is not expected that there will be much weakening and perhaps none. The Conservatives are united; the opposition is divided. The Conservatives have the advantage of eight ac-clamataions. If the Liberals were strong in the province they would not allow that many seats to go without a struggle. We look for a Conservative victory. THE OLD COUNTRY STRUGGLE A political struggle is in progress just now in Great Britain. The Macdonald government, which faced parliament for the second time yesterday, is on trial. Nothing was expected at the previous session, but now the extreme labor people are wondering why the.y.bcl Libor if no Labor legislation was to beintroducfiiL' . In the.speech from the throne yesterday, a speech prepared by Philip Snowden and the other members of the cabinet in the absence of Premier Macdonald, it was announced that the employment situation would be discussed, ;that a pensions bill will be introduced, that the present unemployment insurance would be extended and that legislation would be introduced dealing with the coal industry. This work, it is expected, will last until Christmas. But will the government last -thajyong? All depends upon the Liberals and Conseiwat(yeijuch, too, depends upon the character of the legislaugnjraSed. The Liberals will not oppose a reasonable perislSrisgill either for widows and orphans or for the aged. ThereTs already a pension provided but it is inadequate. When it comes to unemployment insurance and to legislation affecting the coal industry, there is danger. BtVTTLE OF WITS " The Labor government has started well in the foreign field. It has made a name for itself there, but that was comparatively easy.. There Were no strongly divided opinions as to the stand that should be taken and Liberal and Conservative sentiment has been behind Macdonald dnd Snowden. When it comes to domestic questions, the situation is changed. Vested interests are affected the moment important legislation is proposed. That meatus .powerful opposition. It becomes a battle of wits between the opposing groups. If the opposition can catch Labor, on an unpopular question and throw them out by means of an adverse fcvote, it is probable that there may be a change of senti-'mentin the country, for electors are very changeable. Doubtless the leaders realize this and will be careful, but behind them is the vast upheaving struggling mass of labor support, some of which is easily satisfied with small things, but other sections of which is demanding a full pound of flesh taken direct from the fieart of the nation. If they cannot be satisfied and mollified, the party goes out. Again, if Macdonald and his government can precipitate an election on some popular cause, they will, backed by their foreign policy popularity, go back to secure a victory at the polls that will give them a good working majority foi labor, and then look out. There will be nothing then to hold them back from taking radical action in regard to coal mines and many other matters to which the nation so far has been opposed". In Canada we are interested because Britain is the most important part of the Empire of which we are a part. What Britain does, the dominions are liable to do. And there is also India to be reckoned with. The present parliamentary battle is bound to prove intensely interesting and every -Canadian sliotild watch it cdtfef ully.

Tomorrow Night Is Hallowe'en Suitable Decorations Suggested For Event Which Children Love (By Betty Somerville) II a real owl or bat wferc captured for a decoration for the Hallowe'en frolic, the guests might enthuse 'with true Hallow e'en spirit. However, they would prooabiy be Just as happy II this futile search was not attempted, but that cardboard owls. bats, witches and other spooks, that are seen in art and stationery shops, were used to convey a Hallowe'en atmosphere. The eerie atmosphere of a Hallowe'en night may be readily simulated by the use of cardboard cut-out decorations, crepe paper decorations, colored lights, as well as the aid of horns, bells i ana electric tans. Effective Entrance Decoration An effective decoration is to cut trees from black cardboard or procure real tree branches and throw crepe piper moss In bizarre colors over he twigs. An attractive entrance is staged In this manner. Old Cardboard Moon may gaze surprisingly through the tree branches, while two tiny owls are silhouetted against him. Flying owls and bats may dangle on strings while one of the three black crows sits on his" perch and observes the won TALK ABOUT MORALITY Normal School Instructor Tells About Old-Fashloncd Methods of Inculcating CHILDREN NOT SERIOUS Morals Largely a Social Outgrowth and Customs Dictate Them to Large Extent NELSON. Oct. 25: That teaching of morals In the classroom, enjoined by the regulations of the department of education, should be systematic, and should not be mereJy the utilization by the teacher pf such Incidents as arise thp rnntpntlnn nf J T Pw. ing, of the staff of the Victoria normal school, in a brilliant ad dress Deiore practically zuu teacn-ers of Kootenay and Boundary at their two-day convention here The Victoria educationalist held that the traits to be taught should be definitely selected by principal and teachers In conference, and then introduced in the course of teaching. Days of Real Sport Mayor R. D. Barnes, who extended Nelson's warm official welcome to the visiting teachers, told of the days of real sport, when hr went to school in Scotland, where his father, a six-Tooter, was a teacher for 40 years, and demonstrated on him dally hU theory that to spare the rod was to spoil the child. A similar theory on teachlne of morals was pntprtntn. ed by the athletic and fiery giant who was principal of his school, and who. In an endeavor to satisfy himself that he had soundly thrashed the unidentified boy who had hit him in the face with a piece of a lobster, worked over every boy in the room, taking an hour and a half to complete the Job. That this system of tearhlnc morals was happily past, was conceded by Mr. Ewing. who recalled that he too underwent Scottish training, and then, a green teacher, got on the staff of the Nelson schools. Due to the fact that chil dren ao not taxe- education as seriously .as their teachers, and to thefaet that their minds are re-wiHent. Mr. Rwlnc Mt thht m.r. haps the Nelson children whom he led along thd path of learning for six months escaped .without too ociiuus damage. Definitions Wanted 'The hlohPKt mnrnllfw Viq11 Via inculcated." said the rienartmnt and from a thousand pulpits one cuua near mat one or the chief alms of education was character-building. Like many another glittering and sonorous phrase, however, this did not translate Into anything definite. It was essential first to define morality, and then to ascertain what situation must pe produced so that morality could be taught. Conceptions ol morality varied from age to age, and Abraham's views on polygamy .were not morai in i the sight of the present age, which held to monogamy. Even in one country, such as Canada, there might be several moral standards. Thus, the people of Nelson had a Doukhobor problem; however sincere the Doukho-bors might be, their ideas of morality did not coincide with those of the people of Canada. Accepted Patterns Morals, Mr. Ewlng declared,' were peculiarly a social outgrowlh, an adaDtatlrm in the' nrir At v& community. Today's morals might be described as the standardized behavior patterns pf the human race. Some might object to this materialistic view of morals, and hold that they had their roots in religion, but though morals and religion might be .akin In their precepts, their origins were entirely different. The basic idea of morals was that they were standards by which people might live together with the least friction. Mr. Ewinc fftlt that manners should be Included in morals. If morals were the wheels by which life operated, manners were thej lubrication, ana snouia equauy wri taught in the classroom., In the language of John Dewey, they were "minor morals." i Mad by Public Opinion The real force behind morals ; was public opinion, which was exerted in ways ranging all the way l ironr education to exeeution. Men ulied themselves to the society in. which they happened to be, and if it nad a high moral standard rrv complied. Dewey stated that i had a gallery to which they Dluyed and if it was a high gal-Vry morally, those playing to it ,t?d on a high moral plane. aidren were known to have three i four vocabularies, which they ii. -cd iinJer different circumstan- that being their way of ae--o!:odatlng themselves to dlffer-:;'u:ir! of conduct. Children, said the speaker, had rhiirr Instincts, which impelled ! -m to different courses. The in- nnct of gregarlousness caused l .em to accomodate themselves to e group. Then some had the ln-i itlnct of self-assertlveness and others of submlsslveness. But he l i Ubted whether a child came In to the world with a moral Instinct. It had to acquire the manners' ana decencies or lire. Further, it did not become moral, but was made moral. Delegates puties On the home was the duty of teaching the child the elementary decencies and standards of life. Btit in recent years, said the Victoria man. there had been a breakdown of the home. Now, the chief object of the home, if it had an object, was to take care of the young, but that responsibility was today being delegated to everybody. Even the amusements of the young were commercialized. When the institution connected with education began to break down, the school had to take over the unfulfilled duty. It was the residuary legatee of all educational institutions and its responsibility was increased by the breakdown of the home.
