CANADA'S ANSWER
. Saskatoon, Sask., Dec. 18,
"It is the determination of the
people of this land of the peo
ple of the British empire that
there shall be no truce," the
statement of Sir Robert Boyden,
premier of Canada, at a great
mopting here was generally
hailed today as Canada's of
ficial and popular response to
the GeGrman peace proposals.
''There shall be peace," he
said, ' 'which means peace for
many years tq come. That is
the spirit of the people of
Canada and it is the spirit of
her men at the front, in the
hospitals and in training..
The premier's statement was
greeted with a tumult of applause.
of growing a box of apples was 30
cents and that another 96 eents was re
quired in the expenditure of packing
and marketing. l'nlcs growers can get
this price for a box of a certain va
riety, he said, it should be eliminated.
Mr. Shepard further declared that
grpwers, unless they were selling their
cull product for at least "9 cents a
box in the open market, (lacked, would
find it more profitable to dispose of
it to by-product plants at the rate of
$6 a ton.
Touching on the subject of a stand
ard grading rule for the four north
western apple states, Oregon. Wash
ington, Idaho and Montana, Mr. Shep
ard said that such plans were impos-
soble of practical solution.
Two Grades Only Are Suggested
Mr. Shepard further suggested that
a saving in the preparation of apples
for market would be effected if in
stead oi' the three grades, extra fancy,
fancy and C grade, as now generally
included in northwestern grading rules,
only two grades were used, lie sug
gested that extra fancy should consist
o- as perfect apples as possible, and
that the best of the C grade fruit be
packed with the fancy, the combina
tion to be called a standard grade,
Mr. Shepard would have the worst of
the C grade product disposed of to
by-product plants.
Mr. Sieg, while he agreed with Mr.
Shepard in opposing a standardized
system for the northwest, declared
that growers would never get away
from the C grade apple.
"The instant that you put a C grade
apple in the fancy pack,'' he declared,
you are ;oing to lower the entire box
of apples to the third grade."
Federal Agency Belittled
Mr. Sieg gave the convention its first
surprise when he characterized the ef
forts of the federal office of markets
to aid fruitgrowers by organizing the
Kruit Growers' Agency at Spokane as
a failure. He referred to the Growers'
agencv as a "neutral neuter."
v " Gentlemen, " he modified his re
marks, "1 do not desire to be mean,
but the government has done us no
good because of the fact that, it has
failed to include in its organization
some 50 per cent of the shippers and
growers of the northwest, and this 50
per cent is tearing down all that the
Growers' Agency is trying to build np.
You cannot have good salesmanship
without good organization. The individ
ual districts themselves must get to
gether, and then work in co-operation
through some method of centraliza
tion. ' '
Mr. Sieg also said that despite talk
of the stringent car shortage, a total
of 11,800 carloads of apples had al
ready been shipped from the northwest
this season, more than were shipped
out daring the entire marketing season
of last year.

YE LIBERTY
The why and wherefore of the junior
high school system was discussed by Su
perintendent John W. Todd in an ad
dress Inst, evening before the Six
o'clock club of the First Methodist
church.
In the old system of education, in
which a child was taught only that
found in books from the first to the
eighth grade, and then more-books for
the four grades of the high school to
prepare him for college, it was found
that many, especially boys dropped out
of the eighth and ninth grades, as the
bookish education did not appeal to
them.
As a remedy for this. Mr. Todd ex
plained that educators were convinced
that education should include something
besides mere book learning, and as a
means of interesting children in practi
cal things, manual training, domestic
courses, sewing, art and music had been
introduced. There was a feeling among
educators that the public school system
should provide for those who do not get
the higher education.
Few children find real occupation in
books, said Mr. Todd. It has been esti
mated that 47 per cent of the children
ore not interested in books. The old
school system took no cognizance of the
different minds of the children. Mr.
Todd explained, and all were pushed
along from one grade to another, or a
pupil was held back for backwardness
in only one study.
The remedy for the old system o'f edu
cation was to drill the pupils in the
fundamentals during the first six years.
Beginning with the seventh grade, the
first Of the junior high school, group
promotions are done avvav with and !
pupils are allowed to advance by stud
ies rather than by grades. In the junior
high schools, the children have five dif-1
ferent teachers, each specialists, rather I
than one teacher for all. This gives 1
the advantage of having several leach-1
ers rather than one-
The education of the present day will!
include study, work and play and the!
child will get a full share of each every j
day. And besides more education there
will be the education for the eye, for
the hand and for those who arc not
bookishly inclined. This will include'
manual training, domestic science, art, I
music and folk games.
Mr. Todd paid a tribute to the school
board in reducing the levy three mills
each year for the past three years, espe
cially as the value of property assessed
had been less each year, while nt the
same time the board had been building
and adding to the school equipment. He
also congratulated the people of Snlem
in having a board of education that was'
entirely free from politics and in hnv-1
ing selected a board composed of busi-1
ness men who were giving their time
and experience for the benefit of the
district.
