CHOICE OF A CAREER.

LEADERSHIP IN INDUSTRY.

Mr. F. B. Malim, Minister of Welling- ton College, spoks recently before the members of the Parents' National Educa tional Union, at Westminster School-on "The Choice of a Career'

Viscountess Rhondda, who presided. remarked that if every one was really in a suitable career we could.without fur- ther discoveries or increase of knowledge 'add a hundredfold to the effectiveness of the community. A country which only attempted to educate adequately a small fraction of its population, and attempted to educate it more on account of the money in the parents' pocket than be cause of the capacity of the youth, was never going to succeed in getting the right persons in the right places.

Mr. Malim said that parents as a class appeared to be growing even more help- less than they were. They lived in water. tight compartments and had no concep, tion of how the rest of the world man. aged.

The problem to-day was a serious one Forty years ago the bulk of the product of the public schools went into the recog nized professions. Then with the changed regulations the Home and Indian Civil Services skimmert"the eream. and shorty after came the "boom" in eng-neering. Speaking got exceed the roughly, the sup of educated boys demand. To-day, the position WILS changed. The public schools (so called) were never so full. Their famber, was increasing and the output greater. At the same time we were feeling the effect of the Education Act of 1902, the first serious effort to carry out Matthew Arnold's advice to the nation, “Or. ganize your éducation "*

EDUCATIONAL HIGHWAY.

THE 1925 FAIR IN JAVA.

The Netherlands Consul-General (Mr. M. J. Quist) sends us particular regard- ing the 8th Netherland Indian Annual Fair at Bandoeng (Java) to be held from the 20th of Juno till the 5th of July, 1925, inclusive. The Fair will be open to mer- chandise of all kinds and descriptions.

A CAUSE OF DISCONTENT.

The absence of the ability to inspire instead of to drive, which was the essence of leadership, was at least a contributing cause of the friction and discontent which embittered the industrial world to-day That was the kind of work which might proftably be sought by the boy who had shown he could lead. There was much more scope for that gift in industry than

Parents should not stress the note of safety. It was a paralysing motto for boy's life.

A good old English Custom

Keeping the port travelling round the table is an old custom still maintained by a few English clubs-like Kensitas Cigarettes, sir, always passing round good company.

The soft, mellow-smoking qualities of Kensitas Cigarettes make you want to keep on enjoying them, and the last smoke is as good. as the first, because all Kensitas are "as good as really good cigarettes can be."
