The removal of stumps is not an easy job. To show how lame an area is thirty-five acres, it may be mentioned that forty acres may be a square a quarter of a mile long and a quarter of a mile wide. Those who have cleared a city lot. will know just was a difficult job there is before the contractors and how many men it is likely to require to do the work within a reasuname lime.

The Congress is to be congratulated on emphasizing two such important matters in its representation. The way to bring about a united Canada is to do away with injustices which cause friction. This looks like a comparatively easy thing to do compared with the problem of abolishing poverty. And yet one is as important as the other anil should not be more difficult. A curriculum thai objective the fit ting of children for the unlversltj does not educate children proner-lv. It does not aody to eighty percent of our children. I t hlnk hat when it was stated at the Rotary Club thnt h?re were children in the High School who hould not be there, it should have bc-en said that the HiRh School Is not a fit pbee for the education of many of our children. The fault Is not In our children, It 1? in t he Hieh School. But I cannot sfe how the Junior High School will be a ttrcat asset as long as the Denartment of Education l. headed by a nrofessor from the university and as lnni? as It considers academic proficiency as the mennire of success of a teacher. But to come bnck lo the loctl rltuallon. Previously the Idea wa; considered not fpaible because of lack of accomodation. What has lven done to make It feasible now? Nothing The only way to make It a succ.pss Is to hnve n new building. The Booth School was built for nn element arv school, with fneclal nrovlslon made for beginners. Classrooms, blackboards, lavatory ncrnmodatlrns were all planned with this In mind. Anc now It Is to be mnri? lntp a Junior and Senior High School. We have been hearing for yean that the HiRh School building if not fit for a school. If It is not fit for boys and girls of fourteen to eighteen years of age. It Is nol fjt for the younger ones. .Are the junior and intermediate children 1 10 oe .satrinccu inuv ibu" Uriiifntlon" of the few mav co on' :., Vu -J.W..V.. o .iim. un j have borrowed a cooy or thb in the struggle, i Japanese statesmen, and generals have!

J?etce. departments; and with Uje rei our duced number of pupils per class that the High School regulations call for. The remaining 610 pupils would be divided between the Borden and the old High School. Inas much a the High School has been overcrowded this year with 290 pupils how are the children going to be accomodated there and at Borden Street School? Let the people first be convinced ; mai a junipr iugn school is needed. Then convince them that a makeshift arrangement as now proposed Is desirable. If It is needed, then a new school should be built. Some of the city's money so carefully salted away In the sinking fund at Victoria tnelther the city of Vancouver nor the Province maintain their respective sinking funds) might very well be used to provide needed educational facilities for our children. I always thought a curriculum was calculated to fit children for life, but apparently we have to fit our children Into the curriculum. I have children at both the elementary and the high school but I don't want my child at the elementary school sacrificed for tho sake of the one at High School The youngsters were sacrificed a few years ago In the Interests of economy, beginners were not admitted till they were seven years old. If a Junior High School Is needed, other means must be found of obtaining It. What gain will It be to upset the present system to make three unsatisfactory systems? At the best, the proposed shuffle Is a makeshift;; at the worst It Is a farce, and an Insult to modern progressive education.
