thus we have the beginnings of such towns and villages as Huntingdon, Orms- town, Granby, Waterloo, etc.As the early settlers became more prosperous, the village school gradually developed into a centre of higher learning, and many of the farmers\u2019 sons and daughters, together with the children of the village, acquired an education equivalent to the matriculation requirements of the Universities, Thus equipped, these young men and women went out into the world I ° the year\u2019s activities as class -ordi > State Secretary Cordell Hull has be suil 1 more closely co-orcinated.: president.The class salutes her! now authorized United States con- ° ew m rove C 00 Mrs.Dimsdale sailed from Eng- i now a ° land about May 30.She has the un- | Cyril Rofle sular and diplomatic offices vIRAache ntensive or ow usual distinction among women of \u2018 \u201c | \u2018Born at Huntingdon.inaugurate a modified policy Aug.9 \u2019 I am very happy to have this op-© being a Fellow both of an Oxford | Educated at H'don Academy.Ban at date they vil begin 155 portunity of extending a word of and of a Cambridge College.She DR.M.J.BARRETT, Ambition: A chain of hard- |\u2018 n-resident aliens \u2014-\u2014 9 greeting to all those teachers, pu- WRITER OF ARTICLE as one of the first founders of the of Philadelphia, Pa.whose death ware stores?crossing identification cards to citl- SENDS MESSAGE fields where work was plentiful and \u2019 Papworth Settlement and was as- occurred in Huntingdon on Thurs-' Pet aversion: Being asked too M75 of Canada, Newfoundland and opportunity was continually knock- pils and friends who cherish in their sistant minister of food during the day.many questions.Mexico who reside In those coun- ing at their door.Those who stayed for a hearts fond recollections of, anc last war.She is sister of the late \u2014_\u2014 | Activities: Basketball.tries, and to British subjects living at home gradually developed the deep filial affection for, the Old John Wynford Phillips, Viscount St.Mrs.James A.Robb, Valleyfied, a Cyril, or \u201cJoe\u201d, played an im- in Canada and Newfoundland.homs communities by buliding fine Huntingdon Academy.,!

life\u2014Seneca.This Issue HIS special school issue of the Gleaner marks the re-opening of the fine.new Huntingdon High School.The formal opening was held last spring and at that time all that was to be said was said by prominent Provincial educationists.One need only remark that Huntingdon can be justly proud of so fine a school.It is a credit to a municipality much larger than Huntingdon.An able staff of teachers headed by Principal J.B.MacMillan are ready and willing to turn from the grist mill of the Huntingdon High School another body of graduate students to uphold the fine records established by the many graduating classes that have gone before.In the fall of 1939 the first group of students to graduate from the new Huntingdon High School started their studies in makeshift quarters, the Anglican church and the County building being used as class rooms temporarily while the new school was in course of construction.In the spring of 1940 they graduated from the lovely new school.They looked out on a world rocking with unsettled conditions brought about by war which broke out about the same time as they commenced their year's work.On September 3 a new class will commence their four year term towards graduation.What will be the condition of the universe when they have finished their course?When the spring of 1943 rolls around and the group of students who are entering their high school course next week will be graduating what will world conditions be like?This is one question no student can answer, no school principal can answer; it is, indeed, one answer that can not be given by the wisest of men.Its answer lies only with the passing of time and the grace of the Almighty.Time alone holds the answer behind rolling war clouds that stretch beyond the most distant point of human vision, beyond even the wildest stretch of imagination, for a new order is definitely in the making.New Name Adopted HROUGHOUT this issue of the Gleaner the words \u201cHuntingdon High School\u201d will be frequently found and not \u2018Huntingdon Academy.\u201d In our issue of August fourteenth in these columns there appeared an editorial explaining the reason for the change to the words, \u201cHuntingdon High School.\u201d Any further explanation would be useless redundancy.It might be mentioned that following the appearance of the editorial there were objections voiced to its contents and a refusal on the part of the conscientious objectors to adopt the new nomenclature.Those who for memory's sake insist on calling it Huntingdon Academy might continue to do so, but the fact remains that it is now the Huntingdon High School.This is in accordance with the policy of the Provincial Department of Education which is being carried out by the Chairman of the Huntingdon School Board, Mr.J.F.Smellie.Since the name naturally appears frequently in this special school issue the Gleaner had to find out which was proper.After considerable questioning it was finally learned that it was definitely the \u201cHunting- don High School,\u201d and that at an early date the school board will pass the essential motion to make it truly such.Valuable Training LL ABOUT the Huntingdon district at the present time there is a small army of employees of the Bell Telephone Company hard at work changing the wires over in preparation for the new dial system that will be in use late in December.Every one of these men know their work and go about it quietly and efficiently.But there is something else they know about, and the general public is not entirely aware of their qualifications along this line.Every one of these Bell Telephone men is a combination of a nurse and a doctor.They are thoroughly schooled in first ald methods.If any one of them is not, it is not the fault of the Bell Telephone Company, for it is the policy of this Company to have every man well-versed in first ald measures, Every one of them is requested to take the thorough course of the St.John\u2019s Ambulance Association.They are not only given it the first year they are in the employ of the company, but are subjected to it every year in order that what information they might not have learned during the first year will be absorbed the second or third year, as the case might be, Thus, in time, they have an extensive knowledge of all such first aid measures relating to drowning, electric shock, bleeding, poisoning, fractures, etc.By this training they are not only an asset in case one of their own members gets injured but also for any other person.An illustration of this was given near Huntingdon on Thursday morning.When Mr, W.A.White waded beyond his depth into Trout River, he was later rescued by his own son and a Bell Telephone employee, Hugh Collins, who was at work nearby and heard the shouting.Mr.Collins dived into the water with his clothes on, as did also the son of Mr.White, and the two of them brought Mr.White to shore.He was practically lifeless; immediate attention was needed.It was here that the training of the Bell Telephone employees was of paramount importance.Mr.Collins, assisted by C.A.McGillivary, used resuscitation methods as taught to them by the Bell Telephone Company and their work is believed responsible for saving the man's life, of bringing back life until such time as medical assistance arrived to carry on.The modesty displayed by Mr.Collins in relating his part in the rescue stamped him as one who had done heroic work.Such an episode reveals the important work these Bell Telephone employees are capable of doing in times of emergency.Penmanship, a Passing Art N THE nineteenth day of July, 1851, Dan- jel Shanks of Huntingdon sat down to write an account of the first meeting of the School Commissioners of the Municipality of the Village of Huntingdon.He was the {first Secretary-Treasurer.Since that day hundreds of accounts of the meetings of the School Board have been recorded.We have had the privilege of looking through all of these accounts right from the beginning, since the books were kindly loaned to us by the present Secretary-Treasurer, W, K.Philps, who is now entering his thirty-fourth year of faithfully discharging these duties.There is one thing about all of these minutes that one notices.In the early days writing was quite obviously an art.It is most noticeable that pains were taken to write neatly.Furthermore, all the Secretary-Treasurers were good writers.It was undoubtedly one of the prime requisites in those early days that a \u201csecretary\u201d be a good writer.How different from today, when the art of writing has become a lost art.We doubt very much if the school children of today are as good as were the average in the early days of readin\u2019, 'ritin\u2019 and \u2018rithmetic.It is more or less taken for granted among university professors that a student will leave the university writing a hand which is not as good as when he or she first entered.The reason for this is the spirit of the age .speed.Students have to take down notes as the professors give lectures.There is, therefore, a tendency for the students to speed up their writing in order to get down as many essential points from the lectures as possible, with the result that after four years or so of this speed writing their style is anything but criterions of good penmanship.No, the art of fine penmanship is something which belongs more to the past than it does to the present.The books in which the records have been kept are all in a fine state of preservation despite the fact that the oldest of them is nearly ninety years of age.About a half-dozen years ago Hon.Cyril F.Delage, since retired as Superintendent of Education for the Province of Quebec, looked over these record books and paid a high compliment to the commendable way in which they had been preserved.Nowhere.he stated, had he seen school record books so well-kept and so well-preserved as were those of the \u201cHuntingdon Academy.\u201d Tradition is There HOSE who have visited or lived among the monuments of history, that are to be found in practically every corner of the Old Country, will doubtless have felt the subtle influence that cloaks such relics of bygone days.In the family albums of some homes in the Chateauguay Valley of former residents of the British Isles there will be found pictures of venerable monuments located somewhere in the Old Country, chiefly near the place of their birth or that of their parents.Someone in that household has invariably come from the Old Land and recalls feelingly those beloved monuments.Others in the household who have not been so fortunate as to have been in the Old Land at one time or another but who have read deeply into history will have felt the power also \u2014the subtle influence that cloaks such relics\u2014 the power of tradition.It is a rather magnificent heritage to have in one's country historic ruins which brings one under the influence of tradition, which makes one feel the power of the past.For there is more than a mere patriotic value, more than a deeper insight into history, in so doing.The feeling that the stone you tread om, the building you enter, the parchment you touch, has been worn by the touch of centuries, shrinks any of us, until we are less liable to vaunt ourselves as persons of superior intelligence.We are more inclined to see ourselves and our own activities in better perspective, and to feel that we too, even as the others In bygone centuries, must leave something worth while for future generations to venerate.What Great Britain has symbolized for centuries is being tested today.Hitler's massed might is preparing for a blitzkrieg on the British Isles and the British people are girding their loins for the defense of their home\u2014and the Empire.A defense which we feel will be ultimately victorious and lead on to a victorious offense on Britain's part.All the glorious tradition of the past is crystalizing into a shaft of sentiment which, although charged by Germany as a sign of decadence, will rise at the appointed hour as a united, sturdy shaft of strength and blazing courage to confound the enemy.\u2018That tradition and that sentiment will wield together the British Isles in a manner which has never appeared on the surface for years; in & crescendo it will go forward, not always In & flashing grandstand manner, but in a bull dog stubbornness until that time comes when the power of Germany's blitzkreigs begin to wane end fall away like the melting snows before à warm spring sun.bo-o \u2014\u2014 ; lum MR.McNAUGHTON, Ormstown: I came along with my brothers Mal- com and Sandy in spring of 1831.I worked that summer with my uncle, Peter McArthur, in finishing the mill at St.Timothy, which never did much, owing to the canal filling with anchor ice.After that I went with him to the Portage to help him with his mill there.There was only one house in Durham that year, Ed.Jones\u2019 who lived where Thomson's house now stands.The site of the village being a reserve, David Bryson had charge, and sowed oats sometimes between the road and the river.In \u201932 while shingling a house for my father, McCal- (who lived on McLean's lot) and Tim Brinly, who drew goods from Chateauguay Basin and smuggled whisky from the States, came and called on me to come down.I asked what for.when they answered to make a coffin.On enquiring 1 found it was for Brinly's wife, who was not dead! She had been seized by the cholera.I refused to do anything until dead, but she recovered! This shows the state of alarm.McWattie died in the fall of 1831.| That is positive.My uncle went out several days with my father to look out a lot.and was provoked at his wanting a low-lying lot.Once my uncle returning, he said to me \u201cThat father of: to settle in a.yours is bound swamp.\u201d There was an Irishman, a squatter in the lot, who had almost an acre cleared, and whom my father paid for his betterments.I think the old house was putup before the church was erected in \u201932 or '33 when Colquhoun came.In the latter year the Church of England was erected, for Hugh McKin- non.who was helping at \u2018the mill, got the job, and made the windows the winter of '32.When Mr.Anderson came he put up a log house on the glebe, which from not being properly chinked was very cold, even though he got it clapboarded.He paid for it himself I think.McEachern came from Lachine in \u201835, and rented Rutherford's yellow house.When the Seignior determined on putting up a mill, he rented.I think.Jones\u2019 house, until he could get his brick tavern up.The brick was made on the creek on the Levell place.He boarded the workmen on the mill.Lamontagne did the mason work and Barrie of Montreal the machinery.A man Macdonald was first miller, and then Needler, who made money.In '4l, when I was engaged to put up a gallery on MkEachern's tavern, there was a wretched sort of shed or hovel near it, where Thos.Porter had a blacksmith shop.It would be in '40 that Wm.Cross opened his store.The room overhead was rented bv Lighthall in \u201841 as Registry office.Old Mr.Younie.in coming into it and seeing so many windows, exclaimed \u2018This is light hall.\u201d Cairns opened store in what was long called Cairns\u2019 hall.My house was the fourth in Durham, one of the three was a blacksmith shop.The Presbyterian Church was put up I think in '35.The bridge was erected in \u201842.before that the people had nothing but canoes.After the bridge was up, the sawmill was built by Pat Walsh and Cross, on condition they should have it for so many vears and then sell at a valuation to the Seignior.When I came the roads were very bad and full of what the folk then called \u201cpitches.\u201d I went to Montreal in 1833 and worked then until 1836, when I moved to N.Y.In 1839 I came home to see my people, when old Brodie visited me and entreated me to stay and do the work in his and other houses that were being put up.I refused, but my father urged me, and I went to N.Y.for my tools, for I had left them.After finishing the houses, I worked for old Russell, Ormstown Concession.making windows and doors for a new house and in 1841 I did my first job in Ormstown village, putting up a gallery for McEachern\u2019s hotel.I came out in the Canada, old Capt.Allan.We sighted New- foundiand in 14 days and reached Quebec in 28 days from Greenock, but lost a fortnight in getting to Montreal, having to wait for a tug.Mr.Miller and family were on board.MRS.NORVAL\u2014Brown came out as Selgniory in 1820 and he said then there were only two houses besides his own.Mr.Norval came in \u201891, When I came in 1825 there were only 20 houses.The church and mill were up, how long I cannot say.The country was all bush, There was a sort of road to the Chateauguay.The French did not come crowding in until comparatively recently.In the fall of \u201939 there were apprehensions of a rising but both Mr.Brown and my husband scouted them.The French gave no reason to suspect them, being as smooth as usual, and it was not until they suddenly seized Mr.Ellice and his wife, who had come out that summer, Mr.Brown and others and confined them in the Presbytery that we began to realize their intentions.Still we \u2018treated it lightly and that their confinement was only a form.They were well treated and Mrs, Ellice was very gay, I presume assumed In order to cheer her companions.The priest did not approve of what was being done and was a loyal man I believe.On Sunday morning In November, we were awakened by a number of Canadians entering the house and coming into the bedroom, made Nr.Norval prisoner.He was for resisting, but was told it was of no use, and Mr.Ellice, Mr.Brown, Mr.Onslow, Mr.Ross and the oth- Chronology -of - Chateauguay, Beauharnois and Huntingdon Counties From Manuscripts of The Late ROBERT SELLAR LITO 2 IR RN III I CDTI LOIR 222] ers whom they had in caleches at the door cried out not to resist\u2014it was no use.The Canadians who acted thus were our own neighbors, whom we lived in friendship with.They were armed with sticks, knives and a few guns.They searched the house for arms.When my husband was ready he was taken and tied by the wrist \u2018to Brown.All were shackled in some way, except Mr.Ellice, who had also the seat to himself.He was a very stout man.It was a pouring wet day and the roads=were fearful, They were taken to the Basin and confined in a large room in Mallette's house.They were exceedingly well treated, and beyond the confinement had nothing to complain of.The room had wooden shutters which were kept! closed, and great pains were taken to prevent their having the slightest communication with those outside, and even the guards would not speak to \u2018them.They would not take an open note to them or one from them.They would not let me visit and I had difficulty in getting a chest of clothes sent in.The nuns and priest sent baskets of food.On the Saturday they were taken out along with McDonald and driven all night.When they had come to a most desolate and lonely spot, fit scene for a murder, the party halted, and the prisoners heard their masters talk among themselves.They looked in terror.with white faces at one another and Norval and Brown agreed their hour had come.Just at that moment the trampling of horses was heard and a body of Hussars seen.No sooner did the French catch a glimpse of them than they vanished in the woods\u2014it was as if by magic, they disappeared as a flock of pigeons, and the prisoners were alone.The Hussars failed to catch any of them.The released were taken to Montreal, a wretched looking crowd, where they were warmly welcomed.The Hussars were very bitter against the Canadians.A few Canadian houses were burned here.I have seen the Canadians fall on their knees to my husband entreating him for mercy.The abjectness of their collapse was extraordinary.The women, we afterwards found out, had been worst in inciting the rising, and even administered the oath.It was a pity for Duquette, a young lad in Cardinal's office, by whom he had been led into the trouble.They might have spared him.Cardinal was a hard deceitful man.The Canadians had a great honor of exile, I understood the Hussars had rode on from Cha- teauguay Basin after the party.When made prisoner my husband remonsterated and told them they would suffer for what they were doing, but the Canadians scouted his threats with exaulting confidence.Mr.Ellice took a disgust of the country from the episode.Wakefield was a very able man but self-opinionated.He got 10,000 pound from the Seignior for securing the canal on this side.Colville was only 23 and boyish in appearance.Brown died in \u201954.Howick Mrs.Lawrence Lacosse and son.Jimmie, Malone were the guests for a week at the home of Mr.and Mrs.Douglas Ness, also called on other friends.Miss Laura Baxter is spending a week at Bainsville, Ont.the gues* of Mr.and Mrs.Duncan Thompson.Miss C.Robertson of Lachute was the week-end guest of Mr.and Mrs.W.E.Logan.Mr.and Mrs.Norman Mair and daughter spent Sunday at Dewitt- ville, the guests of Mrs.H.Ferns.On Monday night last the Home Nursing Class met for its last meeting in the curling rink.Thirty-four certificates were issed by the Red Cross to those fulfilling the requirements.The members were asked to give practical demonstrations in bandaging, relieving sore throat, taking temperature, respiration and pulse, applying poultices, dressing wounds, making up bed with patient in it, etc.Everyone enjoyed the evening thoroughly, and have added considerably to their knowledge in home nursing.The class wishes to thank the curlers for the use of their club room, the Women's Institute for the use of the hospital cot, Doctors Stalker, Quintin anc Mills, also Miss Margaret Coburn for special addresses, Mr.S.Beaudin for vse of medicine cabinet, and especially are deeply grateful to Mrs.Lyall Stewart, who held two classes weekly for the past 13 weeks.On behalf of the class, Mrs.Roy Younie presented Mrs.Stewart with a smali gift of money and thanked her for having given so generously of her time and talents, The class joined in singing \u201cFor She's a Jolly Good Fellow\u201d and all felt that the course just concluded had been well worth while.The following received certificates: Mrs.Fletcher, Mrs.Watson, Mrs.W.Logan, Mrs.Atkinson, Mrs.L.J.Gebbie, Mrs.James

to be Crippled In Calling up Men For Military Training She the historic meeting of 3.) President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Mackenzie King at Ozdensburg on the 17th and 18th, little time has been lost in choosing those who are to sit as members of the two countries on the permanent joint committee of defence.The appointment of this board to study the military, naval end air defence of North America was agreed on at Ogdensburg.Canada's representatives as recently announced by Mr.King are: O.M.Biggar, K.C., Brigadier Kenneth Stuart, deputy chief of the general staff, Captain L.W.Murray, deputy chief of the Naval staff, and Air Cemmodore A.A.-L.Cuffe, member of the air staff, with H.L.Keen- leyside of the External Affairs Department as secretary.The duties of the board are to make a study of the defence situation and to made recommendations to the two governments.It nas been definitely nointed out that no commitments have been made by either country.Mayor LaGuardia of New York, the civilian member of the United States section of the board, is a popular figure in Canada, and will be welcomed with his military co- members of the board when they board meetings this week.Only the future will disclose the importance of this new light, which has appeared in a new quarter of the world\u2019s dark skies.It is in any event, a clear proof that the great republic across the border fully realises that the danger which has been over-shadowing the British Commonwealth also threatens the entire world including the Western Hemisphere.The great task of registering everyone in Canada of 16 years of age and over was satisfactorily completed last Wednesday.Single men of 21 will first be called out for training which will begin about October 1.Boards in thirteen military districts will make the necessary arrangements, but these boards will also see that no essential industry is crippled by calling out men for military training.Farmers, for example, will not be trained during harvest operations.Other seasonal occupations will be similarly handled.University students engaged in special studies will be left at their work until the time is convenient for them to join the camps, There will be 39 of these training camps and approximately 300.000 will receive 30 days military training within the first year.It is thought unlikely that anyone beyond 30 years of age will be called to camp during the first year.Canadian military leaders are taking the long view in relation to war operations.The process of mechanizing the army is advancing rap- {dly.Colonel Ralston, Minister of National Defence, in 5 recent interview told the public that Canada is starting to form an armoured brigade consisting of four tank regiments.The brigade will be under the command of Colonel F.F.Worthington, a Canadian expert on tank warfare.Four units of the militia will be trained in tank warfare.Tanks for the training of the four tank regiments will be provided much earlier than was thought pessible, some time ago.There are now 114,000 men in the Canadian Active Service Force in Canada, the minister stated.In addition, 39,839 are overseas.In the Non-Perma- nent Active Militia, the body from which flow recruits to the C.ASF, tliere is an enrollment of over 100,- 000.Air Minister C.G.Power, in his capacity as associate minister of national defence, is completing an inspection tour of Canada\u2019s defences visit Ottawa for the first of the | Other Editors\u2019 Opinions LET'S BE MORE NEIGHBORLY (Leamington Post and News) What about a little more attention to the old neighborly spirit that once was so prevalent?Somehow we think that this kind of spirit is what the whole world lacks today.Time was when everybody knew his neighbours.If the Jones family was in trouble, everybody in the block\u2014yes, for two or three blocks around\u2014would flock to their assistance, The Jones family received all kinds of contributions, from pies and cakes to actual physical assistance.There was plenty of leaning over the back fence in those days.Mrs.Jones and Mrs, Brown had long talks when hanging out the family wash.And on a summer evening, or a Sunday afternoon, the front verandah would be crowded, as neighbours made friendly calls.As for the young people, they did not have the means of entertainment as do the young people of today, but we believe they were just as happy.Hurry, hurry, hurry! That seems to be the trouble with all of us today.We are too busy to be friendly with our neighbours, too busy to go to church on Sunday, too busy to do anything except seek something that is going to bring personal gain.| And adults are just as bad as young people in this respect.After all, what better personal gain could be asked than neighbourly spirit\u2014see- ing how one can help the other fellow a little more.Our service clubs are doing their best along this line, but all of us could follow suit.Let's forget our hurry\u2014occasion- ally anyway\u2014and develop a little more of the neighborly spirit, for which there is so much need today.Your neighbour may seem cool when you speak to him the first time maybe he may give you the impression that he would prefer you to mind your own business and let him alone, But somehow even the coldest of neighbors turn out to be pretty decent after a while and not half as cold as they appeared.With baking at home disappearing they may not send over ple or cake but the chances are they will show their neighbourly spirit in some way.Let's be more neighbourly.It counts most in the long run.Rockburn Mr.and Mrs.W, Henry of Montreal spent a few days with Mr.J.Oliver, called here by the death of Mrs.Henry's uncle, Mr, W.G.Henderson._ Master Douglas Pollock is spending a week with his aunt, Mrs, Lawson, in Montreal.The monthly meeting of the RP.Y.P.S.was held at the home of Mr.and Mrs.Erville Lindsay on Tuesday evening with a good attendance of members and visitors.Business and devotional periods were conducted by the president, Miss Leona Baxter, after which games were enjoyed and later, lunch in the form of a box supper.was partaken of by all The meeting closed with a.hearty vote of thanks to Mr.and Mrs.Lindsay for their

combining the useful with the ornamental.We are constantly urged by our spiritual leaders to incorporate high principles into everyday practice.That is what Ruskin seeks in regar@ to architecture.He meets his Edinburgh audience on the common ground of admiration for Roslin Chapel, Melrose Abbey, Linlithgow Palace, and Loch- leven Castle, and then proceeds to show them how they can introduce the Gothic forms of pointed arch and gable roof into modern do- meslic construction.Away with pillared Greek portico, says he, and back to the old Gothic porch, walled in on bôth sides, with pointed arch entrance and gable roof above.Under that, on a windy, rainy day you can put down your umbrella at your leisure, and stop a moment to talk with your friend \u2018ere you part.Ruskin is also enamored of bow windows, and would have one, either large or small, in every principal room of a dwelling-house, Quote: (as the broadcaster says) \u201cSustain the projection of it on a bracket, crown it above with a little peaked roof, and give a massive piece of stone sculpture to the pointed arch in each of its casements, and you will have as inexhaustible a source of quaint richness in your street architecture, as of additional comfort and delight in the interiors of your rooms.But here we beg to differ slightly from the lecturer.In Edinburgh, even on a windy, rainy day, the householder might attain to comfort and delight in his \u201cbow\u201d window, but here in Quebec on a windy, snowy, bitingly frosty day he would find less delight than discomfort in his \u201cbay\u201d window unless he had looked well to its underpinning.+= + In disallowing the usual usage of the terms \u201cromantic\u201d and \u201cUtopian\u201d Ruskin\u2019's remarks are of interest today when he says: \u201cIs not the death of Leonidas romantic?The Battle of Agincour is romantic, and of Bannockburn, simply because there was an extraordinary display of human virtue in both those battles.But there is no romance in the battles of the iast Italian campaign in which mere feebleness and distrust were on one side, mere physical force on the other.\u201d Further on, he says: \u201cThis feeling which you are accustomed to des- pise\u2014this secret and poetical enthusiasm in all your hearts\u2014is indeed one of the holiest parts of your being.It is the instinctive delight in and admiration for sublimity, beauty and virtue, unusually manifested.And so far from being a dangerous guide, it is the truest part of your being\u2014as true to what is right and lovely as the needle \u2018o the north.All you have to do is to mingle prudence and foresight with imagination and admiration, and you have the perfect human soul\u2014 not destroying the romantic feeling but bridling and directing it.\u201d Ruskin\u2019s sentiments (I have condensed somewhat in the foregoing) remind me of a little experience of my own.Some years ago, my mother, sister and myself were travelling home from Carleton Place, Ont.by train.A respectable looking man moved into a vacant seat in our vicinity and accosted us.It seemed as though he had sized us up as ordinary plain \u201cfolks\u201d Lke himself who would enter into his feelings and to whom he could enthuse until he reached his own fireside and family.He was in exuberant spirits, and told us how he had got one-third share in a splen- qidly paying mine in the North.He told us his name was Farmer, and he was a farmer.As he wrung our hands in parting at Ottawa he said, \u201cIf we never meet again on earth, T hope we'll meet in heaven.\u201d On the previous journey to Carle- ton Place, while lunching in Ottawa, we had met another enthusiastic soul in the restaurant.When he noticed my mother's advanced age he bounded from his place at a table nearby (generally hard to pry a man up from a meal, if you notice) \u2014rushed to her chair and seated her with the most obsequious manner imaginable.\u201cI,\u201d said he in an emphatic Scotch voice, \u201cI have a mother home in Sunderlandshire.And she can smoke her pipe!\u201d Is that last a climax?.or an anticlimax?I wonder.My mother was totally devoid of such an accomplishment, so we were duly impressed.But such enthusiasm, such courtesy, from this superior looking comi- plete stranger in a crowded city restaurant.Now, these two little experiences with two enthusiastic strangers left me enthusiastic, and I enthused in my turn over the kindness and the friendliness which met you in unexpected quarters.But there was an anti-climax at this stage.There were listeners who sniffed in a suspicious, skeptical way, and seemed to feel that my remarks cast some reflection on everybody who was not owner of a mine share or whose miother didn't smoke.Obituary The

hangers in the wardrobe; a reading table and lamp at the bedside; a waste basket and a little sewing box\u2014these are the things that the guest appreciates and admires.The room itself, while decorative and in good taste, need not be elaborately furnished.Comfort is more important for the guest room than extravagant display.One may be quite fond of slender Sheraton, or Chippendale and Heppelwhite, but guests will very much more admire your antiques in the drawing room or library.For the guest room, simple comfortable fumiture is the best.Wicker and cretonnes are ideal in summer, and the guest will unquestionably appreciate the cool comfort of a room so furnished.Guests generally bring their own toilet articles, though it is nice for the hostess to supply toothpaste, cold cream, orange sticks and nail file, talcum and face powder.The guest bathroom is always well supplied with the small, useful articles that guests rarely think of bringing but always need\u2014a whisk broom, for instance; face cloths; fresh towels and soap.She is a negligent hostess indeed who forgets such essentials, Smaller homes do not have separate guest bathrooms.In this case a small bureau drawer in the guest bedroom should be stocked with talcum, manicuring accessories, tooth powders and tooth brushes (new of course!), shaving cream and razors for the men guests, powder and tiny puffs for the women guests.In the family bathroom there should be a special bar for towels reserved for the guests, and this bar should be kept constantly well stocked with fresh towels and face cloths.New

week ago Tuesday in his 71st year, at Orms- town, Que., severing a link with the earliest days of radio and the mast builders\u2019 art which is fast disappearing.Mr.Basham was born in Harwick, Kent, England.In his youth he learned the trade of shipbuilding, and in the capacity of a master builder of masts became connected with many important communication enterprises.Perhaps the most historical of these was when he was building boats at Folkestone, England.\u201cOne day in the 90's,\u201d he says in his autobiography, \u201ca gentleman called upon me and asked if I could him a mast at South Foreland.\u201d The gentleman was Signor Marconi.\u201cThe mast was 160 feet high, made in three parts, the main mast, top gallant and topmost, and from it signals were successfully sent to a lightship six miles distant.\u201d With the experience behind him, Mr.Basham constructed several other important wireless masts, such as the one on the Admiralty pier at Dover, which was used by Lloyd's shipping interests.Mir.Basham came to Canada in 1915, joined the Northern Electric Company, retired on pension in 1938, after 22 years service, whereupon he joined the staff of Orms- town High School as manual training instructor.a position which he held until sickness forced his complete retirement nine months ago.He was a member of the Northern Electric Council of Fleetford Sise Chapter, Pioneers of America.He is survived by his wife, the former Anna Allard, now resident at Ormstown; two stepdaughters, Mrs.Frank Fuller, of Toronto, and Mrs.E.Upton, of Ormstown; a stepson, A.Gervais, of Montreal; and seven grandchildren.The funeral was held Thursday afternoon from the William Wray Chapel, 2075 University street, with interment in Mount Royal Cemetery.The service was conducted by Rev.A.F.Pollock, former pastor, of St.Paul's United Church, Orms- town.Those attending from out of Miss Phyllis McLean, Mr.and Mrs.Percy Osmond, Mr.and Mrs.A.K.English and Mr.D.C.Munroe, all of

what we now call the Adult Education Movement.He and his friends formed a group of 12 called the Junto.They met on Friday evenings to discuss topics previously decided upon.No positive opinions or direct contradictions were allowed in debates.This rule Was to keep order and prevent ill-temper and quarrels.In the first group formed were a surveyor, a shoemaker, a joiner.a mechanic.a merchant's: clerk, two printers.Robert Grace, whom Franklin describes as a young gentleman.a lover of punning and his friends.; This club continued for about for- ' ty years and was the best school of philosophy.morality.politics.as: each member in turn was required to produce one or more query on such subjects for discussion and once in three months to write an essay on any subject he pleased.Debates were conducted in a sincere spirit of inquiry after truth, without fondness for dispute or desire for victory.Many of Franklin's successful political ideas were first presented for discussion within this group.The country was expanding.new industries were starting and there was a cry for more money and credit.The rich opposed this agitation (and they are still doing it).Franklin wrote a pamphlet \u201cNature and Necessity of a Paper Currency\u201d.The Big Shots were furious but they could not find anyone able New Fall Styles.Now on Display \u2014&\u2014 A full line of Fall and Winter samples just received.All the latest shades and patterns.We invite you to drop in and inspect them.You will be convinced that our goods and prices are right.Designed For Comfort Yet absolutely the last word in Style \u2014_\u2014\u2014 Full line of guaranteed Forsyth Gent's Furnishings.\u2014\u2014 Cleaning-Pressing-Repairing \u2014_\u2014 \u2014 Congratulations and best wishes to the School Board, Principal, Staff and Pupils on the ning of the new Huntingdon h School for the academic year 1040-41.F.Lefebvre & Son High Class Tallors and Clothiers Established 1883-\u2014 HUNTINGDON, QUE.|to forming military units in self- soressersorsost] to write as well as Franklin to op- | pose him.Consequently, the House of Assembly passed an Act increas- | ing the currency.and rewarded\u2019 Franklin with a contract to print the bills.He cites this increased according to the trade, He is best known.however, building and increasing inhabitants.kept How to Put it Over It is unwise.states Franklin, to any scheme reputation in above one's neighbors when you have need of the assistance in the project.Instead, present it as the scheme of a number of friends for whom you are acting.This sacrifice of personal vanity is likely to repaid.This idea was used with great success by Franklin in promoting the first Public Library in Philadelphia.By the same methods and out of the Junto meetings came the First Academy.Franklin wrote a pamphlet.\u201cProposals Relating to the Education of Youth in Pennsylvania.\u201d These he stated were the ideas \u201cof some public-spirited gentlemen\u201d, \u201cAvoiding as much as I could, according to my usual rule, the presenting myself to the public as the author of any scheme for their benefit.\u201d Later on, out of the Academy Trustees came the first University of Philadelphia.By the same policy the first hospital \u2019 for treatment of the poor was established by public subscription and Assembly grants.\u2018 Benjamin Franklin held a seat in the Assembly for ten years without soliciting the job or asking a vote.One of his other rules of conduct was .\u201cNever to ask, never refuse and never resign an of- ce,\u201d # Favorite Text He that has once done you a as another his\u2018 advantage of being able to write!

Progress in Planning For Child Guests Huntingdon High School, St.Joseph\u2019s School, Convent of Notre Dame to Accept Guest Children Miss Janet Long, Field Supervisor for \u201cThe Council For Overseas Children,\u201d was e ted to attend a meeting held in the Chateau on Wednesday after- goon.Some 25 people were present at this meeting, all interest- \u20acd in the \u201cGuest Children\u201d that are coming to Canada, Miss Long failed to get here in time for the meeting but that evening Thursday afternoon met with a group of ladles.Everything appears to be taking satisfactory shape as to the receiving of children in this area.In regards to the guaranteeing of medical care, the Town of Huntingdon has informed the medical and dental profession that the Town will guarantee the payment of such medical services as they may be called upon to render children that enter Huntingdon town homes, should such be requested.The foster saw a number of people and on! this financial responsibility.In regards to the education for the children the Huntingdon High School informed the meeting that they would accept from 20 to 30 children.The children would enter the junior grades, or at least the greater number ef them.As for St.Joseph's Boys\u2019 School and the Convent of Notre Dame, Mr.Michaud intimated that the Boys\u2019 School and the Convent would also accept a like number of children.When applications for children are duly filled in and filed with the registrar, Adam L.Sel- lar, the applications are in turn forwarded to Montreal.When the child is selected for the home the committee must investigate as to the placing of the child in school and make sure the schools can accommodate the child.The schools will.forego the fees of such Guest Children, but the text books will have to be supplied by the foster parents or by the local committee for Guest Children.Thorough investigatio: must, of course, be made so as to protect the child as well as the foster parents.Several people have already sent in requests for \u201cGuest Children\u201d but all such folks as well as others so contemplating accepting children must fill in a set application form.These forms are to be had from the Registrar, who happens to be Adam L.Sellar for Huntingdon County.The questions asked on the parents should, of course, accept 1.\u2014Husband \u2018(Surname first)

was full of tenderness when she said, \u201cI have money enough in the bank to pay our expenses to the Fair, Bill, if you'll go.\u201d He started to his feet so violently she cropped her fork.\u201cWhat are you trying to make out of me?\u201d he cried in a tortured voice, \u201cA gigolo?\u201d Berenice's cheeks flamed.\u201cIt's like you to be that unjust,\u201d she said.\u2018Has it occurred to you that after I've pounded the typewriter from nine to five I'm not exactly in the mood to be shouted at the rest of the night?\u201d she demanded.Bill's mouth tightened.\u201cMaybe you think I'm crazy about coming home to this sort of thing when I've tramped the streets all day trying to sell advertising?\u201d \u201cIs that why youre not so hot at it?\u201d she asked stingingly.He picked his hat up from where he had flung it down on the littered desk.He did not speak or glance back as he jerked open the door and banged it behind him.Berenice stood very still, listening to his retreating steps.Suppose Bill did not come back?She had a longing to run to her mother.to hide her head in Anne's lap as she had done when a child if she had had a nightmare or been frightened at something.the telephone when it rang.Berenice had meant to call Anne and ask if she could come over, but May was on the wire.\u201cMeet us down in the lobby.kid.You and Bill are riding in our car.\u201d \u201cBill isn't here,\u201d stammered Berenice, trying to conceal that she was crying.\u201cWe had one of our famous battles and he walked out on me.\u201d \u201cHe'll be back.\u201d said May with a hearty laugh.\u201cSurely you aren't going to give him the satisfaction of ! staying at home and moping.That's exactly what he'd like.\u201d Berenice's round childish chin hardened.\u201cAll right,\u201d she said, \u201cI'll meet you downstairs as soon as I can climb into my best bib.\u201d When Berenice let herself back into the apartment a little after two Bill was there asleep on his side of the bed.She closed the dressing room door cautiously before she started to undress.Her hands were not quite steady and her eyes did not focus correctly.That was how she happened to pull open Bill's drawer instead of her own in the chifforobe.That was why she did not at once recognize the stack of neatly cut out pictures which lay on Bill's pile of handkerchiefs.The local newspaper had been a contest for eight weeks.Each day they published a picture puzzle.There was a grand prize of five thousand dollars and a second of a thousand and a third of five hundred and forty of five dollars each.Berenice had never dreamed Bill was working at the contest.yet there were the pictures painstakingly puzzled out and lettered in Bill's small cramped printing.Berenice's heart ached.\u2018He had secured duplicates of each puzzle so that the set he finally sent in should be neat and legible.These were the ones he had worked from.They were almost tattered where he had written in and rubbed out and rewritten his answers.In spots the cheap ragged paper had been worn through in holes from his patient eraser.\u201cOh, poor Bill!\u201d Berenice whispered to herself.For all the pictures were torn in half and in the waste basket beside the chifforobe lay a crumpled newspaper.Berenice picked it up with shaking hands.There were the names of the winning contestants.The winner of the grand prize headed them all in huge black letters, the second in smaller type, the third in still smaller print, and at the bottom the inconspicuous column of forty who received five dollars each.Berenice's trembling finger fan down the list.Bill had not received a prize, not any at all.His name did not appear anywhere on the page.Berenice felt an anguish of pity.She knew why Bill had wanted five thousand dollars.why he had clutched at this forlorn hope to, Ï .Better | work follows the pause that refreshes \u2018Authorized Boîtier of \u201cCoca-Cola\u201d Majestic Bottling

bed beside him and putting her arm across him.But even in his sleep he flinched away from her.* ° » Gradually the stately old house began again to take on a gracious and gleaming aspect.Worn floors and wainscoting developed a satin sheen.In the dining room a Sheraton table and white leather-seated chairs rested on a hand-woven blue rug.Upstairs, prim ruffled white curtains framed the windows of bedrooms in which there were mahogany four-poster beds and slipper chairs and chintz-covered chaise longues.\u201cAlmost finished,\u201d breathed Janet one sultry afternoon toward the middle of August.\u201cThe sooner I get away from here the better.The first thing I know I'll be breaking down and sobbing on the interloper'\u2019s hearth rug.\u201d A man stood at the foot of the stairs.\u201cI'm sorry.\u201d he said.\u201cI did not mean to startle you.\u201d He was a slight man, thin for his height.He looked to be about forty- i five and his expensively tailored {gray suit was a little shiny at i the seams.{| \u2018You are Miss Phillips.of course,\u201d \u2018he went on.\u201cI'm Steve Hill, a friend of Tony's.He's done me a great service by being alive.\u201d Th next afternoon he was in the library when she arrived, sitting on the cushioned window seat, turning the leaves of an exceptionally {fine copy of Tristan and Isolde.\u201cAllah be praised.you don't buy books for the color of their bindings!\u201d he said.he talked on.He did not sound like a bum, but neither did the Earl of Jersey.Steve Hill had a sensitive mobile face.and he seemed to have read everything worth reading and to have seen everything worth seeing and to have known everything worth knowing.\u201cSorry.\u201d he said, glancing abruptly at his watch, \u201cI'm afraid I've bored you.\u201d She discovered with an incredulous start that they had been sitting there for an hour while he literally charmed her with the gently satir- she said, \u201cyou haven't bored me.I doubt if you ever bored anyone in your life.\u201d To her dismay his mouth twisted with pain.\u201cI failed lamentably with the one audience in the world which ed quickly away as if a horde of tormenting memories had been loosed about him.But he was back again the next afternoon.Janet was hanging pictures.\u201cNothing's lacking,\u201d she told Steve Hill, \u201cexcept the portrait of my great-grandmother which is in our living room at home.It belongs here, commanding the whole house.\u201d she indicated the space opposite the wide staircase and the entrance to the library.\u201cBut nothing could persuade us to part with it.\u201d She laughed unsteadily.\u201cThere are some things you can't put on the auction block unless it's a matter of life and death.At least we've managed to eat without pawning great-grandmother.\u201d She regarded him defiantly.\u201cA bit of maudlin sentiment, eh, what?as the Earl of Jersey would say.\u201d Steve Hill smiled.\u201cThere was a time when I thought I'd outgrown the old gods, but that's merely a phase, you know.In the end you realize that life without sentiment is a wine without bouquet.\u201d She caught her breath.\u201cI'd like you to know my mother,\u201d she said, and blushed because until then she had not known she approved of him to that extent.\u201cWould you like to go home with me tonight to dinner?It'll be informal We live in a flat and we can't entertain on an elaborate scale, but Mother's the only person I know of in this town who could talk to you about books and philosophy and poetry and hold her own.You see, she grew up in a library like this.\u201d \u201cI'll be delighted.\u201d he said.CHAPTER IX \u201cPlease make yourself comfortable,\u201d Janet said.smiling, as she took his hat.\u201cI shall have to do something about food.We have no maid.\u201d Steve Hill was staring around the living room, at the couch which Anne had covered with flowered chintz, at the ivory hook shelves which Jim had built in between the windows, at the glass basket of zinnias on the drop-leaf table by the easy-chair, at the colorful hooked rugs which Janet had made for the painted floors.\u201cAnybody home?\" from the front door.\u201cMother, this is Mr.Ryan's friend, Stephen Hill.\u201d stammered Janet.Anne smiled.\u201cHow do you do?\u201d she said, putting out her hand.It was not the words, it was her warm, gracious tone which removed all strain from the situation.} \u201cHow's for eating?\u201d demanded Jim, banging the front door behind \u201cMy brother, Mr.Hill,\u201d said Janet.Jim started forward

Peacock Throne and the lacy minaret of the Taj Mahal, to croco- dile-infested tropic jungles, to Pic-, cadilly on a balmy May afternoon,\u2019 to the boulevards of Paris on a fan-' tastic moonlit night.\u201cIsn't he wonderful?cried Janet when he had gone.\u201cI don't care if he is just another one of what the Earl of Jersey calls a bit of flotsam on the beach of fate, Steve's precious.\" Jim began to laugh.He laughed immoderately.\u201cI can't help it,\u201d he pleaded, \u201cit's just that when I think of you two determined to feed the crumbs of your divine charity to Stephen Hill, I get the giggles.\u201d He put an arm about each of them.\u2018Dear sweet innocents,\u201d he explained, \u201cdon't you ever read the bylines in the newspapers, haven't you ever listened to the radio, did you ever see a travel book?\u201d \u201cOh, my sainted aunt!\u201d cried Janet weakly.\u201cHe isn't the Stephen Decatur Hill!\" Janet stared at him critically as ical flow of his

Janet.\u201cI don't believe he minded.\u201d said Anne with that odd breathless note in her voice.» * * The sixteenth day of August began unpleasantly for Anne Phillips.She had not slept well the night before.It was very hot and she rolled and tossed.\u201cIf I only knew exactly what I am afraid of,\u201d she told herself \u201cYou can fight anything after it comes out into the open.\u201d She was nervous the next morning.She let the toast scorch, something she had not done in years, | and burned her hand on the oven.\u201cThe ingenuity with which you can do everything wrong on some days really should be utilized.\u201d snapped Anne, snatching at the box of baking soda.Janet who was (preparing the grapefruit for breakfast gave her mother a startled glance.It was unlike Anne to be irritable.\u201cYou're worn out with the heat.You ought to take a month off and rest.\u201d \u201cWith the August fur sale just beginning?Be your age, carling!\u201d \u201cAt least,\u201d muttered Janet, \u201cyou won't have to worry about dinner tonight.\u201d \u2019 \u201cNo?\u201d tainly.\u201cYou must wear your new ivory lace,\u201d Janet was saying.\u201cIt's perfectly luscious on you.\u201d i Anne made a grimace.\u201cIf I can get my mind off how many coats we moved today and the minimum number of sales we have to make by the end of the week, and re-! member that a lady at a

many to so few!\u201d Such was the fribute paid to the RAF.by Winston Churchill in his * latest speech.How true it is! Those few thousand airmen, more than any other human beings, are the pimmediate reason why the Nazi scourge has not swept over Britain, * why our civilization has not been wrecked and a new Dark Age ushered in.Within a few short months they have built up a \u201ctradition of service\u201d in the air-arm, which can creditably take its place beside that of the British army, and especially the British Navy.They have fought an aerial Trafalgar, and they have yon.For it struck and it sputtered and * ;t fizzled.That, in brief, is the story of part one of \u2018the blitzkrieg on Britain.We must not permit any false confidence to grow from the success.If there was any reminder needed of the \u201cblood and sweat and tears\u201d of which Churchill warned when he took over three months ago.it came last week-end with renewed mass attacks.Blitzkrieg Gains Momentum A review of the last ten weeks reveals that the attack on Britain has been progressing according to a methodically worked out plan.For exactly one month, from June 18 to July 18, the Nazis contented themselves with night attacks directed at the factories that were producing tre sinews of war.Meanwhile they were consolidating their gains in France and the Low Countries.On July 19, the day of Hitler's peace * Wtimatum, the attack was doubled, and instead of being directed against armaments, factories and docks, it was now concentrated on shipping.The Battle for the Channel wason.Losses climbed, 10-30 a day.After ten days this phase ended with the heavy assault on Dover.Then came 12 days during which there was a lull, broken only once, August 8, when the Nazis lost 6C planes.Prime Minister Churchill warned that vigilance must not be relaxed, for the danger was by no means passed.On August 11 the attack was resumed with a fury that molnted into thousands of planes.At the same time, the enemy started to seek out different objectives.From a concentrated attack onnav- al bases and coastal defences, they moved inward looking for R.A.F.bases and aircraft factories.Croy- don, Britain's greatest airport, ten miles from the heart of London, was reached.But with a persistance that seemed to take on the assurance of inevitability, the Nazi losses mounted, averaging four to one with those of the RAF, until finally of the 20 bombers that got through to Croy- don, none returned! And on the same day all 11 bombers that attacked a Hurricane station on the southeast coast never again left English shores.World Renews Hope The reaction of the defence against the attack, that has methodically gained momentum through- cut these weeks, has been most sat- isfvingly virile.Hitler called \u201ctime out\u201d last week in this game, which somehow or other is not being played according to his rules.A world that had been paralyzed by the spectacle of German might ly began to take heart at the sight of this people who refused to be scared into submission.and are slowly began to take heart at the man invincibility.The repercussions throughout the world are both astounding and very far-reaching in their potential influence upon future events.It has been said many times, and I have repeated it in this column, that if Britain and her forces are destroyed, this world will collapse into chaos.When France WEEK AT OTTAWA (Continued from page 2) on the Atlantic seaboard.With military and air leaders, he visited Newfoundland, which holds a vital strategic position in the scheme of Atlantic seaboard defence.Mr.Power and his party were received with the utmost cordiality and an agreement was reached on the question of co-ordinated defence.Details will be worked out later by representatives of the two governments.No question of the independence or sovereignty was raised.It is simply a question of joining forces and co-operating to the full in the face of a common danger.Newfoundland has sent hundreds of men to the Royal Navy and merchant service.Companies of Newfoundland lumbermen are working in the woods of Scotland in co-op- eration with military services.The leasing to the United States of naval and air bases in Newfoundland as well as in the Wiest Indies was offered by Prime Minister Churchill in his speech to the House of Commons at Westminster a week ago.At this time the exact status of the negotiations seemed uncertain, President Roosevelt's suggestion had special reference to the defence of the Panama Canal, and perhaps concerned in particular the West Indies.But in this hour when the rocks of the world's foundations are shaking, Britain and Canada have full faith in the goodwill of the great friendly republic.They welcome the granting of bases to the United States, No change of sovereignty is involved.The Minister of Munitions and Supply has announced the num- of persons employed in the aircraft manufacturing industry of Canada has increased by 20 per cent during the past four weeks.In all about 17,000 Canadians are now engaged In the manufacture of aircraft for the Canadian anä British forces.This gives some indication of the great strides that have been made in this industry from very small beginnings a year ago.Thinking Back cee ANd .Looking Ahead The Royal Air Force Has Been Temporarily Entrusted With the Future of the British Empire\u2014 It Was Previously Prophesied That Churchill Would One Day be the Man of the Hour By DONALD C.MACDONALD fell, and so many felt that Britain's doom was just a matter of time, the signs of that impending chaos appeared very clearly.But with Britain's proof that even though she stands alone, she will nevertheless stand, the instruments of world disintegration have been stayed by those who control them, and the friends of those who struggle for law and order have taken new heart.In the Far East, Japan's proposed blitzkrieg for the creation of a new order in Asia is reported to be temporarily postponed until the outcome of the Battle of Britain is more evident.Reports from those in Washington who are in close touch with diplomatic circles indicate that within the last week the change that has taken place in the thinking of former \u201cdefeatists\u201d is little short of phenomenal, Two Epic Months No matter what the future may hold, or what may develop before these lines reach print, to glance back over the last two months is to behold one of the most stirring spectacles of human history.Imagine the position.of the days of Dunkirk\u2014there were the British people left alone in the ruins of a world that had crumbled abou them; their partner nation in arms.in whom they had placed great faith, had gone down like grain before the storm; they had held their breath for days while the miracle of Dunkirk was wrought.The men came home, but they came home unarmed, and across the narrow waters, within gun-shot, was the enemy.Then, in that hour of Nazi triumph, when Britain was dazed by the blow, at the dictate of Hitler.Italy came into the war in the hope that the situation would be made so overwhelming that Britain would give up.Britons were sad, but they never flinched.They still talk of Dunkirk as a victory! And who knows, it may have been.Wie never thought that Jutland was the decisive triumph it turned out to be.Observers who have returned from Britain say unanimously that it just never entered British heads that they should give up.And not only for military reasons, but from the sportive sense of honor which makes it unthinkable that they should give up just because the game was being lost.It just wouldn't have been cricket! Man of the Hour The result is that we are beginning to win the war.Following 1918 it was revealed that a German general remarked after they were halted at the Battle of the Marne in September, 1914, \u201cThe war is lost!\u201d It took four more years to prove the truth of that remark.In the same way Hitler's fizzled blitzkrieg on Britain may be the lost war that will become evident in two .Of three .or four years from now.\u201cOur offensive springs are being compressed,\u2019 \u2019said Churchill, \u201cand we must resolutely and methodically prepare for the campaigns of 1941 and 1942.\u201d Towering over the events and men of these last two historic months is the indomitable figure of Churchill.In Britain\u2019s dark hours of the past she has produced her Drakes and her Mariboroughs, her Nelson's and her Pitts; but in that glorious tradition there is none who stands more conspicuously than this man.It would almost seem now, that in being denied =o long the position to which he has always aspired, he was being saved for a day when only he could fulfil the task.Some one in reading back has discovered that Harold Nicolson, now with the British Ministry of Information, wrote of Churchill in 1931: \u201cHe is a man who leads forlorn hopes.and when the hopes of England become forlorn, he will again be summoned to leadership.\u201d It was a prophetic evaluation of the man whose every speech is a trumpel blast of courage, a beckon call along the road to victory, a call that is voiced in prose that reads like poetry, and inspires in the authentic accents of English eloquence.While Churchill lives, another tra- Cition, that of Burke and Fox and Pitt and Sheridan, will not die.Taly and the Near East The function of Italy in the Battle of France was disdainfully assigned to her by Hitler\u2014to draw Italy in the Battle of Britain is the same, Mussolini has to time his movements with those of Hitler.He is massing troops on the border of Egypt for an attack of which imminence was more evident last week as the Italian press sang the old song.They assured Egyptians that they had no desire to fight them, and would not unless they actively co-operated with the British, which the Egyptians immediately replied they would, should Italy move.Mussolini's sole purpose is to free the Egyptians from the crush- irg English dominance! But there are two other bits of news from the Balkans whose timing may be significant.Firstly, it is now reported that Hitier is supporting Mussolini's threats on Greece, for which Italian troops are along the Albanian-Greek border.Secondly, on the anniversary of the unholy alliance between Germany and Russia, the Moscow papers came out in great praise of the benefits of the agreement, indicating that the inevitable break with Berlin is not yet to be.Up till now, it has been common knowledge that Hitler was keeping the lid on Ital- fan aspiration in the Balkans, for fear that if anything were started, it could not be stopped short of a whole Balkan war, which Hitler does not want at the moment.If he is now supporting Mussolini, it is only because he has assurance from Stalin that Russia will not oppose, in fact, may even support any change.For example, consider this possibility.In return for a guarantee that Russia will not violently object to Italian partitioning of \u2018Greece, Italy may include in her demands that Greece give part of Thrace to Bulgaria.That would help Italy, as a glance at the map will show.for with Bulgaria extended to the Aegean Sea, Greece would be cut off from Turkey and weakened for further partitioning.At the same time, now that Bulgaria is about to gain - Dobruja from Rumania, giving her a common border with Russia, who took Rumanian territory of Bessarabia as far south as the Danube River, and since the Soviet ascendency over Bulgaria is a well known fact, any gain the latter can make by way of an outlet to the Mediterranean, thus encircling the Dardanelles, could be of great help to Russia in her future designs.The gangsters are still in a position for each to gain his ends through co-operation, and so co-op- eration it is going to be for some further time to come.THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER Huntingdon H.S.Pupil Is Selected Gordon Grant is One of Few to Gain Admission To R.M.C., Kingston A graduate of the Huntingdon High School, Gordon Wilson Lach- lan Grant, of Lacolle, was one of twenty from the Province of Quebec, (13 of whom were from Montreal) and of 98 from the Dominion of Canada to be selected for admission to the Royal Military College at Kingston on August 31, according to a list released by the Department of National Defence.This gracuate of the Huntingdon High School last June is a son of Mr.and Mrs.Wilson Grant of La- colle and a grandson of Mrs.La- chlan VanVlet, of Lacolle, Mrs.VanVliet was the first assistant to the late Caleb Holiday, Principal of the Old Academy.Under a new policy regarding courses at the college, the candidates are accepted for a two-year course which will include cultural, military and engineering subjects.The academic year will begin early in September and concludes the last week of July.Conditions of entry are the same as in pre-war years.In announcing the new policy last spring, the department said that \u201cit must be appreciated that when a cadet enters the Royal Military College he accepts a moral obligation to serve in the defence forces on graduation.\u201cIt follows.therefore, that the primary purpose of the course at the Royal Military College is the production of broadly educated officers.\u201cThe secondary purpose, looking beyond the immediate future into the post-war period, is intended to enable ex-cadets who so desire to enter university with advance standing after the war and so to be in a position to continue their interrupted education.\u201d The number to enter the college this year is much higher than in other years.The number selected for admission in the past was usually between 50 and 60.Brooklet Mr.and Mrs.Fred Loomis and grand-daughter, Marylin of Greenfield, Mass., spent Wednesday evening with Mr.and Mrs.Fred Sweet.Miss Doris Frander of Point St.Charles and Miss Ethel Porter of Verdun spent the past week at the home of Mr.and Mrs.Allen Elliott.Mr.and Mrs.Norman Wilson, Joyce Petro and Mrs.Robert

T.Barrett The death occurred on Thursday of Dr.Michael T.Barrett of Philadelphia, Pa., at the home of his brother, Mr.James E.Barrett, Huntingdon, wham he was visiting.Dr.Barrett sutlcred a slight leg injury a few days ago and had been confined to bed, but it was not thought he was seriously injured at all.| He was born in Huntingdon on July 27, 1881.After receiving his education in Huntingdon, he attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated with the degree of D.DS.in 1908.He was given the degree of M.S.from Vil- lanova in 1915.At the University of Pennsylvania he officiated from 1904 to 1910 as an instructor in Normal Histology.From 1910 to 1914 he was an instructor in Oral Pathology.He was a lecturer in Oral Pathology at the Graduate School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, and was an Associate in Research at the Laukenan Hospital, Philadelphia.Dr.Barrett has made definite literary contributions in the dental field.His first writing was in 1914 when he published \u201cThe Protozoa of the Mouth in Relation to Pyorrhea Alveolaris.\u201d His next book was entitled, \u2018The Internal Anatomy of the Teeth With Special Reference to the Pulp with its Branches.\" These were followed by \u201cThe Effect of Thymus Extract on the Growth and Development of the Teeth of White Rats.\u201d This was followed by \u201cSome Etiological Factors Governing Dental Caries as it is Effected by Vitamins and the Endocrines.\u201d His greatest work in the dental field was done in 1914 when he discovered Amoebue in Pyorrhea.visited Huntingdon every summer far the month of August and returned home after the Huntingdon Fair.They always remained here for the Huntingdon and Havelock fairs if time would permit, for on these two occasions they were privileged t0 meet many old friends.Dr.Barrett liked Huntingdon to the point where it was almost definitely decided they would build a home for themselves on Wellington St.Perhaps the real reason why Dr.Barrett was so taken with Hunting- don was that it was his birthplace; he knew the adults; he was fond of his brother, James E.Barrett, and he liked the people: perhaps it was because they called him \u201cMike.\u201d Dr.Barrett was most congenial company, ever ready to give an expression on matters of world concern and relieve serious conversation with his genuine true Irish wit.References to Dr.Barrett's early visits have already appeared in the columns of this paper which indicated he was always willing to play the part of a big boy and be a boy when here in the summer.He liked to fish, to swim, to follow sports, study political economy, as well as maintain his high established position in the dental fraternity.He was indeed a worthy son of Hunt- ingdon, a brilliant doctor of the dental profession in Philadelphia.He was keenly interested in his church and was a 4th Degree Knight.A delegation of the Val- leyfield Knights of Columbus attended the funeral service held from St.Joseph's Church on Saturday morning.Father Charlebois officiated at this service, while Rev.Father Pigeon delivered a short discourse, which was na deviation from the usual funeral service in the

Toronto Royals played two exhibition games with the Provincials at Vickers Field, losing two closely contested games against this strong Montreal team by counts of 8-7 and 15-11.Clare MeCal- lum, pitching the first game, turned in a fine performance and attracted the attention of the manager of the Provincials, who spoke of seeking her for their team next year.However, it is entirely unlikely that Clare would care to leave the Royals to go to Montreal.Miss Ruth McCartney of Dundee was added to the Royals line-up in Montreal.After a lackadasical start at the beginning of the season when the Royals were not playing very good ball they have been finishing the season quite strong and there is every indication that Dundee will have stiff opposition in the finals.The Royals team has been invited to participate in the British Consols trophy competition in Montreal, but they feel they will be unable to enter because of lack of necessary finances to defray expenses.Ormstown

Construction of the New Huntingdon School Building Most of Material Used is That of Montreal Firms\u2014 Attention Given to Every Detail in the Completion Of This Fine Building Into the construction of the $90,- 000 addition to the Huntingdon High School went the finest of material manufactured by the leading makers of their kind in the Dominion of Canada.With a reputation for using only the best, the firm of Wickenden and Grenier of Threa ivers, Quebec, saw to it that the goods to be used were those of well- known Canadian manufacturers.The brick used in the construction of the building, a fine appearing brick with great durability, is the product of Laprairie Brick Co, Inc, which firm has offices in Montreal at 906 University Tower Building.A huge number of bricks were used in the building.The High School building is particularly well lighted, and this meant the use of a great deal of glass.There are, in fact, in the neighborhood of 4,000 openings, These openings each mean where a pane of glass was used.The majority of them are either one of the following two sizes, 16\u201d by 16\" or 7\u201d by 9\".Besides giving the building a smart appearance, the light allowed by these windows will go a long way towards conserving the eyesight of the pupils as well as saving light bills for the ratepayers.The glass came from one of Canada's leading makers, Hobbs Glass Co., Ltd., Montreal, Que.An idea of the number of windows in the building is gained from the fact that a total of 1,200 pounds of putty was used in the glazing.Although on first glance it would appear that not much lumber would be used in the construction of a building of this kind there was considerable of it used\u2014about 60,000 feet of lumber, to be exact.A great deal of this lumber came from John Fenderson and Co.Saybec, Que, and was supplied locally through Mr.Albon McArthur.The roof of the building is one with a 25-year guarantee.Material used was that of the Alexander Murray Company, Montreal, and it was applied by the Montreal roofing firm of Norman and Collie Ltd.This firm also supplied cornice an: sheeting.The benefits of insulation are well recognized by builders today and no construction is done by people who know their business where insulation is not used.Insulation pays for itself over a period of years in the matter of keeping cold out during the winter months and keeping the building cool during the summer.In the High School building is to be found a total of 400 bags of mineral wool supplied by Canadian Gypsum Co., 1108 Dominion Square Building, Montreal.To give strength to the concrete steps, feralum treads are used and there were some 150 steps in which this product was used.This material came from the Otis-Fen- som Elevator Co., 802 St.James St.West, Montreal.For a strong foundation a strong cement had to be used and it was recognized that there is none superior to that of the Canada Cement Co., Ltd., of Montreal.This cement was used entirely in the construction of the foundation and other parts of the building where cement wag required.Altogether a total ot 1,500 bags of cement was used on the Huntingdon High School addition, This cement was handled through the Huntingdon agent, Pringle, Stark & Co.Seven hundred pounds of Pudlow waterproofing was used in walls and in basement floors.This was supplied by Braithwaite Bros.One whole carload of plaster was used in the High School building.This plaster was the product of Canadian Gypsum Co., 1108 Dominion Square Building, Montreal.The contract for doing this work was in the hands of Mr, Delbert Goodfel- low of Huntingdon.Linoleum has been placed on thc floors of the classrooms and halls.The linoleum which was used is that of the Dominion Oficloth &nd Linoleum Co.Ltd.of 2,200 St.Catherine Street E., Montreal.This WIRES SCHOOL GRAHAM McGERRIGLE, who had the contract for wiring the Huntingdon High School.was handed locally by Mr, W.E.S.MicNair.The millwork throughout the building has been supplied by Mr.Joseph Lafleur of Valleyfield.This includes windows, doors, trimmings and wardrobes.The finest of mill- work has been used to go hand in hand with the other high grade products used throughout the building.Pipe railing for the 150 steps that are to be found in the building is the product of Canadian Welding Works, 278 Queen Street, Montreal, and is a substantial material with a finish that makes for a fine appearance.One will notice near the top of the High School building a ring of stone encircling the building some four or five feet from the top, taking away from the mass effect of the brick and adding embellishments to the structure in the way of an attractive border.Then, there is stone to be found around the edges of the window which set them off to advantage.This stone is the product of Lasalle Stone and Marble Co., of Ville LaSalle, Quebec.Smart \u2018looking tiles that are to be found on some portions of the floor are the product of the Smith Marble and Construction Co.Ltd.Montreal.The re-inforcing steel used in the building is the product of Dominion Re-inforcing Steel Co.Ltd, 6894 Clandanald Ave, Montreal.À total of about 60 tons of steel has been used throughout the building to ensure the strength of the walls, roofs and places where it is necessary to have guaranteed strength.Other steel used in the building has been supplied by the Dominion Steel & Coal Corporation, Ltd.Montreal.A large amount of paint was used throughout the buiiding and the colour is predominantly white on the walls while the hardwood is stained.The paint for this was supplied by Brandram- Henderson Ltd., 6684 St.Urbain St., Montreal.Mr.Graham McGerrigle had the contract of wiring the school and a large one it is, where the most modern light fixtures and arrangements are used in order that the students might have the best of artificial light, an important factor in classrooms.All of the goods came through the wholesale house of Franke Lavasseur, 280 Craig St., W., Montreal.The plumbing and heating fixtures are from the wholesale house of James Robertson & Co., Ltd., 946 Williams St., Montreal.Pipe covering used on the pipes of the heating system is the product of Johns- Manville Co., Ltd.Sun Life Building, Montreal.Plumbing fixtures are products of Standard Sanitary Mfg.Co.Ltd, Toronto, Ont.Pipes used are those of Stelco, Montreal.Ventilation, providing a change of air frequently of the students, is the product of Wi.E.Baxter Ltd, 87 Vitre St, W.,.Montreal.Radiators are those of Warden King Co.Ltd., 2104 Bennett St, Montreal.\u2018The large boilers in the basement of the building to provide heat are THE HUNTINGDON, QUE., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1940.Modern High School Re-Open THROUGH THE CORRIDORS These

BEAUHARNOIS Classical Lines Imposing in appearance, both without and within, the Huntingdon High School is a building that does justice to a municipality much larger than Huntingdon.The design of the building is flashy, yet wholly practical.At first glance one cannot help but notice the numerous batteries of windows ull around the building.The entrances add a distinctive touch to the building, and around the top of the building is a decorative ring of stone which adds to the embellishment.On entering the main floor one finds a spacious hall running down the centre of the building, which hall goes a long way towards giving the Interior af the building n commodious appearance.On this floor are to be found five classrooms, and there are five classrooms on the floor above also.The average size of these classromus is 23 fcet by 32 fect and they are exceptionally well lighted because of the many wine dows.In each class room are to be found two blackboards, As one tums to the right down the hall way after entering the main door you come upon the gyme nasium, Without the slightest doubt the gymnasium is an exceptionally fine one and is n real credit to a school in à town of this

and philosopher, once said that the school is always driving the tacks where the carpet used to be.Perhaps he was optimistic, generous, flattering, Perhaps the truth is better characterized by the statement that \u201cthe school isn't as well adapted to current conditions and needs as it used to be; in fact, it never was.\u201d In no area of life is the phenomenon of social lag so readily observable nor so flagrantly tolerated as in that of the school curriculum.Parents prefer the familiar; colleges protect vested academic interests; administrators do not wish to assume responsibility incident to justifying change; and, finally, teachers and principals for the most part are not well-fitted by education, by life experiences, or by disposition to develop a new curriculum for the high school.The majority lack incentive, imagination, ingenuity, knowledge of life needs, inspiration, or time.College-entrance committees are learning that selecting good college students on the basis of what subjects were taken in high school is little more effective than by consulting clairvoyants.The American people are becoming more accustomed to, and less fearful of, the idea of social charige and no longer believe that \u201cwhat was good for \u2018pappy\u2019 is good enough for me.\u201d These alibis for the failure of school people to reduce the gap between the needs of the day and the school curriculum are no longer tenable, Aside from the effects of pressure groups, the various types of ancestor worshipers, anti-\u201cisms\u201d grand- standers, and others who appeal to ignorant local prejudice or curry favor with the powerful and wealthy debauchers of democracy, the most powerful deterrent to curriculum revision is the inability of the teacher to get out of the beaten paths.One is reminded of an old song about a \u201cfrog whose legs were sending a donation, whether it A H McLaren .tied to a hickory stump and he rared and he pitched but he couldn't make a

secondly, the devising of methods of measuring this achievement and of holding pupils to performance; and thirdly, the introduction of such flexibility in educational offerings that each individual may receive the education from which he is able to derive the greatest benefit.Following will be found pertinent paragraphs gleaned from a book written by Prof.I.L.Kandel, Professor of Education and Associate in the International Institute Teachers\u2019 College, Columbia University.Prof.Kandel's study of \u201cExaminations and Their Substitutes in the United States\u201d summarizes the history of a phase of relationship between the higher and secondary education which abounds in interest not only for the student of the field but for the lay reader.Although the statements made are in relation to the growing recognition of the importance of the individual as the product of the American educational progress, they are, too, in relation to Canadian Educational systems for in time certain ideas of the American system bear fruit in this country.Thus, ideas propounded in the following paragraphs may be eventually adopted by the Protestant Department of Education in Quebec and be put into use in the Huntingdon High School: BH æ There has thus been a tendency in the past thirty years, slow at first but increasing in momentum in the past decade, to discover courses adapted to the needs, interests, and capacities of the individual, until the only requirements that seem to survive are English and the social studies (history, politics, economics, current events).The European principle which may be stated as follows: \u201cFind out what the pupil cught to do and make him do it\u201d seems to have been converted in the United States into: \u201cFind out what the pupil can do, and allow him to do it.\u201d This means a wider expansion of the cufriculum than has ever been thought possible in ihe European schools, but it also means that methods have had to be devised to discover different types of abilities and aptitudes, and attempts have had to be made to provide such arrangement of cources as will enable a pupil to work to the best of his capacities.Md H xX The difference between European and American practice may, however, be rationalized in the statement that, while Lhe European teacher is master of the subjects which he teaches, the American teacher understands his pupils better.Ome result is that American teachers are more ready to accept innovations; another resu't which is not wholly due to this cause alone but to a number of the other characteristics of Ameri- You, too.will ike PICOBNG\\ It isn\u2019t just advertising talk to say that, if you haven\u2019t tried Picobac, you're probably doing yourself out of an awful lot of pleasure.That statement is based on solid fact, for more Canadians do like Picobac than any other pipe tobacco.Why?Canada\u2019s improved Because Picobac is the pick of Burley crop, always a mild, cool, sweet smoke.So try Picobac today and you\u2019ll say with thousands of others, - \u201cIt DOES taste good in a pipel\u201d duce \u201cAs a Canadian\u201d, says Mr.Picobac, \u201cit makes me proud to know that Canada can pro- ingly good as Picobac.\u201d something as outstand- GROWN IN SUNNY, SOUTHERN ONTARIO SEAL.TIGHT POUCHES 10¢ AND 15¢ 15-LB.\u201cLOK-TOP TIN\" .65¢ alsa in handy pocket tins Examinations And The Student > can education and culture is that there is no deep appreciation of or persistence in subjects of study for their own sake.The contrast between the European and American teachers also exists in the United States itself, but is not quite so marked, in the contrast between the high school teachers and the teachers in colleges who are more highly specialized in their subjects.But even at the college level, and largely because of the increasing enrolments, there has been a tendency not only to relax the requirements for admission but also to permit greater freedom of choice in the courses taken by students.There is, in other words, the same tendency to consider the aptitudes.capacities, and needs of the individual student rather than to fit him into a preordained educational pattern or mould.HH HM From the social point of view it is also recognized that the results of educational maladjustments, the attempt to fit square pegs into round holes, may lead to social maladjustment and in turn prove a menace to social stability.By a curious anomaly a movement which sprang from the recognition of individual worth has also been adopted in those countries in which the political theory definitely and explicitly denies the worth of the individual.In France fees have been abolished in the public lycées and colleges sO that the authorities may be in a position to rid of the non-valeurs or inferior students; in Germany the enrollments in the secondary schools have been reduced indirectly by the limitation of access to the universities, leaving for solution the serious problem of what to do with the excess; in England the introduction of alternative courses in the secondary schools of the West Riding of Yorkshire resulted from a study of the number of failures in the examinations based on the traditional secondary school curriculum.BH = Leaving on one side for the present the question of developing the right methods for discovering the right education for the right pupil, it is obvious that any attempt to define \u201cright education\u201d at the level not only of secondary but of higher education as well must inevitably encounter the serious opposition of certain convictions and prejudices as to the meaning of culture or liberal education.The whole history of secondary education has, however, been the history of the conflict between traditional or established concepts of liberal education and attempts to redefine it in accordance with the demands of changing interests.The last three hundred years witnessed, first, the rise of demands for the inclusion of sciences, then of modern languages, and later still of other modern subjects in the curriculum of the secondary school, The process of adjustments was slow even though secondary education was still designed for a selected group.It cannot be claimed that any definition of liberal educaiion can he accepted as final, particularly at a time when it is proposed to provide some form of education for all at the secondary level.The problem has been beautifully defined by M.Léon Brunschvieg: \u201cIt is important that all the children of France should be considered alike as living plants, whose spontaneous growth will be assured by the same methods; only the trunk will be allowed to grow up to a certain height before the branches will be permitted to shoot out without the opposition of any artificial obstacle to the expansion of their being, whose NN NT eS PSNI TZ NN NE EN 4 SOOO The Huntingdon Chateau One of the Finest Hotels in Rural Canada TAY er ;

and the aim of the schools in categories (II), (II), and (IV) above should be to provide such an education by means of a curriculum containing large opportunities for practical work and related to living interests.\u201d In the earlier years the curriculum in these schools should have much in common with that provided in the schools at present commonly known as \u201csecondary\u201d; it should include a foreign language subject to permission being given to omit it in special circumstances; and it should be given a \u201cpractical\u201d bias only in the last two years.æ There seems to be a widespread but unwarranted fear that any departure from the traditional concept of culture or liberal education will result either in lowering standards or destroying them altogether.Rather may it be said that any continued attempt to mould all pupils, irrespective of their interests and abilities, to the traditional pattern would lead to this result.The evidences of educational maladjustment, which the reports of the committees of the International Examinations Inquiry have already produced, if they have any meaning at all, point to the fact that Non cuivis homini contingit adire Corinthum, the haven of a liberal education of culture générale, of scholarship as planned at present, It is too often forgotten by the staunchest and sincerest supporters of the traditional concept that they are the beati possidentes whose faith is strengthened by their own success and profit and who are prompted by that faith to employ the traditional pattern for the selection of an élite without regard for the large numbers who fall by the way.# Wiritten exminations appear to have been unknown in the United States until about the middle of the nineteenth century.Until that time schools and even colleges had annual \u201cexaminations\u201d or inspections by school \u201cvisitors\u201d or trustees, In Massachusetts an Act passed in 1789 made it the duty of the minister or ministers of the gospel and the Selectment or others specially chosen by the locality to encourage school attendance and once in every six months at least, as much oftener as they shall determine it necessary to visit and inspect the several schools in their respective towns or districts and shall inquire into the regulation and discipline thereof, and the proficiency of the scholars therein, giving reasonable notice of the time of their visitation.Hox (À This provision only confirmed a practice which had already been introduced in Boston in 1709 when the town proceeded to nominate and appoint a certain number of Gentlemen of Liberal Education, together with some of the Rev.Ministers of the Town\u2014to Visit ye school from time to time, when and as Oft, as they Shall think fit, to Enform themselves of the Me- thodes Used in Teaching of the \u2018Schollars and to Inquire of their Proficience .the Master being before Notified of their Comeing.BE Be Opposition to examinations began in the eighties.They were criticized because of the stress on unfiormity, \u201ca system of strait jackets\u2019 as they were called by cne superintendent, and because they encouraged pupils to study for marks.In the words of Superintendent Streeter of Titusville, Pa., \u201cThere is nothing definite about them.No two teachers would mark the same paper alike; and 1 have sometimes wondered how much a night's rest or a breakfast has to do with papers marked 98 and 99 on the one hand, and 15 and 0 on the other.\u201d There began to develop at this time a lack of confidence in the value of marking and in the jus- ice of examination systems.And vet there was recognized the need of soma method of standardizing the work of the schools and of some measures by which the work cf schools over a large area couid be compared.Thus Superintendent B.F.Patterson of Pottsville, Pain his report to the State Superintendent in 1888 writes: \u201cWe have always thought that there should be some means bv which we would be enabled in compare our work one with another , What we would like to have is some test by which we can measure work .But we would like to have comparative statistics on other subjects, for instance: How long should it take the average pupil, in reading, to reach the fourth reader?Again, what per cent of our monthly enrolment are in fourth readers Or beyond it?At that average age should pupils be expected 10 readily.solve miscellaneous problems in the fundamental rules: such problems as they will meet any\u2019 ordinary calling.Each borough superintendent has the means of knowing the comparative standing of each school of the same grade in his own district: but we are unable to compare our own schools with those of any other district in the State.ÿ mA At the opening of the century discussions on examinations were still on the basis of opinions.Those who favored examinations claimed that they had an educational value of a high order.As a test of power, it war argued preparation for examinations trained students to deal with new material, to discriminate between the important, to appreciate the relations of hitherto unrelated details, to grasp a subject as a whole and to combine parts into a vital organic unity, to hold knowledge ready \u201con demand,\u201d to think for oneself.Through examinations the teacher obtained a most impartial estimate of what a student knew, and the student discovered what he had really mastered.The timid student acquired confidence and the conceited student gained humility.Bm ®B On the other hand, it was admitted that, tions * whilo sre a great ald in forming habits of mind which tend to make stu- innate powers will raise each up| EARLY EDUCATIONIST THE LATE DR.ALEXANDER CAMERON, who in the early days took an intense interest in the Huntingdon Academy.dents more accurate, thorough, and clear, they may prove a great curse in setting up false standards.Unless examinations are relegated to their proper place, they encourage cramming and discourage the formation of good habits of work.They could be put in their proper place as a method in training to study, if a student were told that at no stage is success in passing to be the sole test for promotion or admission to college, \u201cregardless of the quality of his previous work or of the method of his preparation.College admission should be based on examinations and student records as reported by the teachers; otherwise examinations tend to crowd the curriculum and are barbarous and worrying for the well-prepared student.# 6 The entrance marks often utterly misrepresented the fitness of a student for college work.Ten students out of one hundred and thirty obtained A\u2019s in their junior year, although their avernge marks at entrance were in some cases in the lowest tenth of the one hundred and thirty and barely above the passing standard.If the passing grade had been slightly higher, one of the very best students of the three college classes would have been excluded.Of those who failed a large percentage would have done better than one-third of those admitted.From this Professor Thorndike concluded that: \u201cSooner or later there will be someone so barred out who would, if admitted, have been the best man in his class., It is a moral atrocity to decide the fitness of an individual for college by a system which, when required to work to a! moderate degree of accuracy, is wrong forty-seven times out of fifty.The traditional examina- Page Eleven Gentleness is revealed in the last analysis of greatness.The blusterer is always weak.LS tions do not prevent incompetence from getting into college; do not prevent students of excellent promise from being discouraged, improperly conditioned or barred out altogether, do not measure fitness for college well enough to eam the respect of students of teachers; and do intolerable injustice to individuals.There is surely room for improvement.\u201d Professor Thorndike then proceeded to suggest a method which would be a positive force for selecting those who deserve further education, for promoting such cooperation with secondary schools as would improve conditions and quality of work, and for securing a rigorous, just, rational, and direct measure of fitness for college.He recommended the accrediting of secondary schools on the basis of the actual success of candidates indorsed by the schools.Professor Thorndike's = interest at the time of writing this = AS article was, as it is at the time, both in the technical aspects of examinations as well as in the social implications, time was 39\".A physics paper for a matriculation examination was passed around after two weeks of examining and marked by the var- fous associate examiners in Toronto;
