NEW AIRDROME SITE - If, as has been suggested, Morse Lake is chosen, as the site, for the new airdrome to be established by the Department of Defense, it will not be as far away as it might at first seem. It will be connected with the city by a lA-yay so. that it would be only a few minutes distant. &It would be much better for Prince Rupert to have it at Morse Lake than at Digby Island, so far as accessibility is concerned, - , The site would be well protected naturally from enemy ships and there would be little danger of accident as a result of boats passing. The whole lake might easily be made into a private preserve with no excuse for anyone tQ. go, there. It, also may be quite possible that a landing site might be made near there for land planes, when the need of it arises. Since the suitability of the site at the foot oi the mountain near Comox Avenue has been questioned, many people have been wondering where a landing field could be constructed for land planes. If such a place caa be found at Morse Lake it is, an easy solution of the problem. CONSERVATIVE SERVICE ; The permanent leadership of the Conservative Party is still in doubt. Right Hon., R, B. Bennett is not likely to retain the position long and it is time a first lieutenant was chosen who could be "built up" politically in time to lead the party in the next federal election. The names most frequently discussed seem to be Mn Bennett's broth-.er-inJav Hon, W, D. Herridgef, formerly minister to Washington, who has been enunciating some rather radical 'policies in his speeches with rather mixed reactions, and. Hon. H. H. Stevens of Vancouver, who seems to have faded, from the public eye of late. It is said that the only reason. Mr. Bennett is still leader is because there is no .suitable man to take his place. MAIL DELIVERY SERVICE From time to time during the past twenty years the matter of a house to house mail delivery has been discussed and on several occasions representations have been made to the Postmaster General asking for suqh a. service. Thj? most recent of these was made by the Trades and La-br Council but without success. The chief difficulty Feems to be that there is no even distribution of mail. Three times.a week a mail train brings large consignments from the East, so. much that carriers would be deluged with mail on those days. The other days there is very liW.fi 'doing. Until there is a regular daily maiji' servjee Xvpm.the east, it seems as if a daily house to 'house delivery would be; of doubtful value. jr'lf you liave something to sell, a classified advertisement m this paper will soon'let you know if there is a buyer in 77?e Lettw Box Eidtor. Daily News: Education Week, which was observed throughout Canada last iweek, undoubtedly directed a con-. siderable amount of attcntipn on, me pari ot tne general public to education and, for a time, a revived Interest in education, as "the "responsibility of the nation" wit result. I would like to make a fev comments on Education Week trim; a teacher's point of view. It might seem strange. that a, a public meeting last Monday there was no. teacher as- a SDeaker. on the program. Yet surely teachers are best qualified to talk on J the subject which is their life' work. This appharent omission was uc to the desire q the, teacher to keep in the background. Edu, cation W.eel? is in no, sense n scheme of porpaganda, for tlv teacher, Education was the tooio. Not but what 'Education Week has some human interest appea.1 1 too. What of the boy who, came dressed and shone up like a fash- flon plate and proudly announced (to his teacher. "Now I am readv for open day!" This was at 3:50 a.m. Visitors did not arrive till ''? p.m. I At 1:30 as the boys passed me on their way Into school I henrrf one of ten years asking his pals anxiously as he took off his car "Is my hair all mussed up?" It was! I do not know the name of thp lady who examined, with keen in terest and manifest admiration the very fine work of thp mnnimi training department and a nnpun- ced: "My husband is the dumbest thing oft two legs when it comes to doing anything like that." In reply to some unfair and unjustifiable criticism : that indicates a complete ignorance of the ; situation or a prejudiced' state of mina 1 would like to. take Issue wjlh the two., persons. concerned. Neither of them was at "open day." I hope they have, an open mind. To say that education is too con. .02 servatlve cannot be said bv anvonr .25 conversant with modern education.' Know ot no profession in whicb the members are more anxious, to keep up to date or make, greater financial sacrifices to r.fit them selves to give (he leadership tc pupils that they consider neces sary. One has only to consider attendance at the annual conven tions and the summer Normal am University Schools and the dp. mand for innumerable tpohnim publications to be convlneeri n this. These are indicative of tin desire of the teachers to tret nt tha best that they may pass it on to the children. Naturally there are some who find it difficult tn change. So. apparently, are some editors but I do not class all pdi- tors as unprogressive and nre- judiced because one is. Another unfair criticism was in connection with home economics and manual training. Here again me adverse criticism was dnp in lack of knowledge. The objectives pi DOin, 01 tnese subjects was unquestionably sound' and desirable and necessary. The methods adopted in arriving at these are equal ly sound and .progressive. The., are two of the' subjects In which me achievements of the pupils arouse the greatest admiration among the visitors. It is immater ¬ ial whether the child ever has or desires to go further in either of these subjects. The training he gets Is readily and gainfully transferable, to, a thousand other I found In conversation, witt many of the visitors a readv aD. preciatipn of the modem method; in education. Lessons in sneech training. In Physical training, music nonrecintion. sinaine. dra matization, and a review, nf th cpem "The lady 'of ttj'e Laike" by miDils of grade eight illustrated by mm suaes were much praised bv those who. came and saw. To these Education Week was of great, value. But vhnt can be done for those who criticize, and who will not accerf the invitation to come and, see the schools in oDeration? Prhsrw we shall have the pleasure of their attendance next year. Then Indeed will Education Week be worth while. J. S. WILSpN. ing. FALSE ALAHM. HALIFAX.
