Thought for To-day
The most distinctive mark of a cultured mind is tlie ability to take another's point of view; to put one's self in another's place and see life and its problems from a point of view different from one's own. To be willing to test a new idea; tot be able to live on the edge of difference in all matter intellectual; to examine without heat the burning questions of the day; to have imaginative sympathy, openness and flexibility of mind, steadiness and poise of feeling, cool calmness of judgment, is to have culture. —A. H. R. Fairchild. "Not Consistent" "At one moment the ratepayers are kicking about the size of the hospital levy find in the next breath they say, 'Why don't you build a new hospital?'" commented Mr A. H. Sutton at the February meeting of the Thames Hospital Board. "Yes, it rather leaves the board members in a trance." replied the chairman. Mr P. E. Brenan, who added that the cost of a new hospital would increase tiicv levy many times.
