The National Council of Education was called into being at
Winnipeg in October, 1919, and it is now pro. posed to form a Canadian Bureau of Education which will keep the Governments of the Canadian Provinces in touch with each other and with educational developments throughout the British Empire and in other parts of the world.

Ney, the secretary of the Conference, sends me some admirable leaflets outlining the scope of the Conference, the purpose of which is summarized in the question : "Cannot the practically humane and Christian ideals of sacrifice and unselfishness, of service and co-opera- tion, be consciously enthroned in the schools of a nation ?
