With the need for retrenchment as acute as ever, in spite of the slight rise in the dollar exchange, the educational position should not be allowed to drift.
Speaking recently at a Church Conference at Home, one speak- jer dwelt on the mistaken aim of education to-day. Education, he said, and indeed our whole stan dard of life, is too intellectual. Literary men, thinkers, preach- ers, etc., have their places in life, he declared, but the skilled man- ual workers are the real creators of a civilisation.

"HUMANE PREMIER."
Mr. Tillett's Tribute To Mr. Baldwin.
In his book, "Memories and Recollections," Mr. Ben Tillett gives some candid opinions of politicians he has known.
Mr. Tillett says that of all the Prime Ministers with whom he has had dealings as an industrial negotiator, he would place Mr. Baldwin as "the most humano and practical."
"He is not the cleverest by far," Mr. Tillett continues. "He admits that himself with the greatest humility and a sardonic gravity, but he is the most cau- tious and balanced of statesmen, one of the most English states- men of our time......
He offers the strongest possible con- trast in dramatic quality and personality to Mr. Lloyd George, with whom I have had much contact in trade union matters and delegations,”
