INETY per cent of all the country boys and girls never get any education beyond that given them in the country schoolhouse, Obviously the problem of education for country life is the problem of the district school.The problem of the increasing cost of living is not so much to be soived by raising more corn and hogs as it is by raising better boys and girls.A crop of boys and girls brought up to love the country and upprecinte Its possibilities will do much to postpoue the coming of the day when the United States will be too big to feed itself.There ure too few real country schools in the United States today.There are too many imitations of town schouls.Too any of the teachers are girls from town.\u2018They come out un Monday morning and go back on Friday vight.They have none of the spirit of the country, and they endure the country school for the menger wages they receive, They are longing tor the day when they may get positions in town schools, While this condition exists the rural school cannot be a success, If the country is to have a life of Its own, as it already bas in many localities, that GOUD JUDUES OF CORN {Schoolboys who won the trophy for the best corn judging at the short course at the lowa State Agricultural college, yoy, § life must be most manifest in the school, The fauit 1s not primarily with the teacher, but with the system.The chiet fault with the rural schools ix that there are too many of them.Lu towa there are 27% schools with few.el than tive pupils each There uve oand schools with an average of fewer than ten pupils The schools bave been catublished with the idea of numbers rather than quality.There is a school nonse every two miles with moooto- nous regularity, whether there are any pupils or not.Under such conditions n tare share of the school funds is Gad an \u2018uathtaining the salt schools.Ihe vestir ls cheap teachers, e Hoothouses abd meager equipment.The most advanced rural communities are getting around this dilliculty hy consolidation In some places two schools nre brought together, in others three ot four or batt a dozen One good, well equipped schoolhouse takes the pince of several poor ones.fewer teuchers are needed, nud the money enn be used to hire better ones, A plot of ground can be purchased for a shoot garden, and the schoolhouse enn have trees and a bown, Lowel pride has been one of the ob- gtacles in the way of consolidation.The patrons of a school district dislike to have their schoolhouse taken away even though there are but two or three pupils ot school age in the district, Local pride 1s a commendable thing.There is just as much local pride in a consolidated district, but it is n little wider In its scope.The pride bused upon a modern consolidated school has much more foundation than the pricy that objects to having a dilapidat & poorly attended sehootiouse removed \u2018The question of wetting pupils to and from school has been n troublesome one in some localities, The coming of better ronds is doing much to solve (hat.Even in the largest consolidated school districts the bulk of the pu- poor .could nImost ve read without looking at the book.Arithmetic was much the same, Often there was a Dew teacher exch term, apd she went on | the principle that the advanced class should Le put Lack to fractions to start with ilistory wus another endless clrele.Geography was a list of towns and sens to be memorized.In the consolidated school the work Is systematized and nade more thorough.The time saved cin go to some of the newer branches which relate to agriculture It 1s tal the actual agriculture wught In these schools that makes them (he most effective, bow- ever [It is the spirit of the farm that ts Injected Into the other studies.The modern arithmetic has lost most of its ponderous and imaginary problems, Instend the problems deal with the price of corn nud cattle, with the figuring of a balanced ration and with the profit on a field of corn.Physiology has been broadened.The diges- ton of nnimnis Is studied, together with the digestion of man.The girl warns the need of à balanced ration for people nt the same time that ber brother 1s learning the necessity of the same kind of ration for stock.Tue principles that underlie botly are the sie Ceography deals with products more than with places The pupils learn where the various articles of cow- merce come from and why each country is adapte! by nature to certain iu- dustries.The boy takes added {nter- est in lis class when he learns tbat the binding twine that Is used for his fathers binder comes from the Philippine Islands or that most of the sugar he eats on his bread at lunchtime comes from the German beet fields.The details of land formation are studled In the streams and hills of the school district, and a study of soils Is brought in at the same time.These outdoor excursions add to the interest of the work and quicken the children's power of observation, When ull the time uecessary has been given to the routine studies there is stil plenty left.A little botany can be given.The pupils cun study the forms of flowers and plants and the mystery of growing things.Usually the school has a garden of ample size.Hore the pupils can spend part of the time in summer.when the pleasant weather makes the study of books irksome.\u2018They can study the different seeds and plants at rst band and learn things from this close observation which they never could obtain from books.In the spring before work te the garden ls possible germination boxes can be started indoors and the beginning of the life of the plant studied.Often a small shop and a few tools are provided, and the boys are taught to saw and plane and bamier to sume effect.The success of this modern district school education has been proved beyond a doubt.One of the foremost lo- enlitles in the country fn this movement is Page county, la.The work began there in 1907 under tbe lendership of Miss Jessie Field, A county superintendent, whose motto, \u201cWe believe in the country boys nnd girls.\u201d bas become famous the country over.Page county set to work to give the country boys aud girls a better chance.One of Miss Field's first acts was to distribute a large number of tulip bulbs to all the schoois in the county.In making the flower beds and planting the bulbs the children became interest.cd in growing things.They became interested in improving the school grounds and the schooiliouse.The teachers of Page county are interested in rural schools.During the past year several of the rural school- tenchers refused positions ip town at higher salaries.They were too deeply interested In the rural work to.forsake it.With a teacher like that a school cannot belp but Le successful.\u2018The patrons are coming to appreclate these teachers, too, and are giving them better salaries, more equipment and more moral support.The county superintendent bought a Pabeock tester and sent it around from one school to nnothier, \u2018The boys learu- pis are within two or three miles of the sehoolhouse, Often stables are pro vide near the sehouthouse, where the pripols front Phe corners of the district can keep thelr borses.More often the children are hinuled in covered wagons nt the espense of the district, The consolidated rural schools are developing n system of education all their own.They are no longer imi tators af the city schovis, They are of the country and for the country.Objection has heen made to the futro- duction of agriculture into the rural schools on the ground that the courses are already crowded.There 18 some round for this objection In the old fnshianed district schuol.In the con- collated school better grading ls pos gible, the pupils when they go over it.and endless

seed corn.\u2018They learned to piek out one weed seed from another and which were the most to be feared.At the national corn show in Omaha in 1908 Miss field won tbe automobile that was awarded to

in some localities this has already become very scarce.This is almost the last spot in America where big game is m®c1dant : there rin:ain only the Arctic regions.Its evident, says Forest dnd Stream, that in a new country lacking transportation facilities and invaded by great numbers of civilized men, who must depend in large measure on the country for subsistence, th: larger native fauna will soon disappear.In this northern region travelers, trappers, and prospectors subsist very largely on the game and fish tha\u2019 they take, aud great quantities of wild ment are brought in\u2019.the settlements for sale.There has een enormous waste by the white gnme killers, and if the waste by the Indiaun has been less it is only because the Indians are fewer in number.In some localities the continued and reckless killing of game fur s~le in tlie mining camps has resulted in the almest complete disa poarance of such gume.Besides this there are not n few people who go into tbe country in search of fine game heads and\u2019 who kill with the usual selfish recklessness, They have been known after o day's hunting lo leave to spoil on a hillside enough meat to supply a prospector with provisions for a whole winter.The chief game animal in much of that country is the moose, which is so abundant that from a good lookout high up on the wountaing moose can Le seen almost any fine day by the nid of field glnsses.In certain portions of the country west of the Mue- kenzie River caribou are still seen in great herds at the proper season © the year, Lut these herds appear to bo growing constantly smaller, Mountain sheep are yet abundant in many places, and owing to their habits of life nre purhapa in less immediate danger of extermination than the moose or caribou.It iz obvious that as the settlement ol this northern country proceeds the mue must disappear.It is only by {re (steblishment of game refuges in those regions that it can } - preserved, and at the present time the residents of that northern country are interested in the game only so far as it may be turned iuto Money.Canon Tucker an Eloquent Irishman.No bishop of the Anglican Chureh is more widely known in Canada than I'ev.Canon Tucker, who has recently heen appointed rector of Bt.Paul's Cathedral, London, Ont.He shares with Bishop DuMoulin the distinction of being the \u201celoquent Irishman\u201d of his own denomination, and is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific on account of his extensive work as gen- cral secretary of the Mission Board.Canon Tucker possesses a marvellous memory for figures, and when he begins to deal with finances, populations, square miles and k:ndred subjects in his addresses, he makes the people who are listening simply asp: He uses no notes, but remembers the most complicuted lists with more ease than an ordinary man recalls a nama or a doggerel verse, As one man remarked, after testing his accuracy, \u201cTmagine him on the floor of Parliament.He would turn the debate on the Budget into an avalanche of sta- tisties.\u201d Canon Tucker\u2019s long experience as a missionary organizer has saturat him with the spirit of that branch of chureh activity, and his admirers are wondering how he will adapt himself to the narrower sphere of parish work.A member of the Laymen\u2019s Missionary Movement remarked the other day, \u201cI guess that St.Paul's Cathedral will become a sort of travel club.During the winter months Canon Tucker will take them to India, Palestine and far- off China, and when the weather gets liot, they will find themselves visiting the Esquimaux.\"\u201d A Name For Canada.Every person who lives in a large city seems to have in his make-up a little of that spirit of meanness which likes to impress upon the people from smaller towns that they are very provincial, Canadiana have long been accustomed to the tone of superiority which their American cousins assume.When men come from the large cities on the other side of the line, they like to show Torontonians that they are about six months behind the times.Occasionally Canadians are given an opportunity to laugh in their sleeves, for if provincialism means narrowness, then there are many dwellers in the big cities who may be described by the word.During the tourist season, a Toron- tonian got into conversation with a man from Washington, D.C.They exchanged opinions about a number of things, and the touriet expressed himself ns delighted with the sleepy northern country.It was a cool day, and the chilly breeze called to mind something which he thought worth telling.; **One of our papers has a cartoonist who coins some rather happy phrases,\u201d he remarked.\u201cHe invented one to describe Canada which ought to catch on up here if you would get hold of it.\u201d \u201cWhat was the name?\u201d Torontonian.\u201cIt was rather poetic,\u201d continued the other man.\u201cHe drew a picture of a lady all in white to represent the Dominion, and he called her \u2018Our Lady of the Snows.\u201d \u201d inquired the Majesty of the Law.The Bruce police force is na \u2018\u201cmore-or- leas\u201d roporition.One Thursday morning

Bu! what does Punch represent?Guesses have been many, but it seems very likely that Punch is the fool of English life in the middle ages, who wis dressed in clothes of various col- «rs and had bells or large knobs hanging upon his attire.At one time he wore a hood.Afterward this wae changed for a cap, and he had the crest or comb of a cock, so that he was sometimes called a \u201c\u2018cochscomb.\u201d And it appears that former'y, besides Punch in this show, there was another male figure which represented Harlequin.The behavior of Punch in che performance tells us of the rough jranners and conduct common 8 century or two ago, but now happily inuch diminished After many acts of violence to the baby, to Judy, to the ir.terposing policeman and others he ends his career by being hanged on the gallows.ee Old-Time Skippers.The English seafaring men were trained to the service in the service itself.Their lessons were those of duty from the rank of cabin-boy to that of master.Such a school was likely to turn out men of efficiency, but not of extensive learning.Into nis book, \u201cThe Romance of the Coast,\u201d Mr.James Runciman has gathered some stories of these worthies.A man who could neither read nor write would take his vessel without a mistake from port to port.The lights on the coast were his-only books, and nis one intellectual exercise consisted in calculating the set of the ebb and the flood.With all the phenomena (hat he was used to observe in his ordinary life, he could deal promptly \u2018und sagaciously, but anything new tended to dirarrange his mind.When steamers were first ordered wi carry red and green side-lights, with a high white light hung forward, an vld sea captain saw the mysterious colored Circles coming down upon Him.He did not understand this new thing.and his faculties became confused.He shouted, \u201cHard a-star- board! We'll be into a chemist\u2019s shop.\u201d Another master who happened to have a leisure evening went to hear « popular lecture on astronomy.Ha was much troubled by what he heard, and explained his

Same Time.Persons unacquainted with the north of England and Scotland are often surprised during their visits to those countries to find whole towns desert.od.Here in Canada only a few of us take our aunual vacation at the same | time, so that business is still carried on, but over their various weeks or fortnights aro set aside for rest, wheu business practically stops.In Lancashire these holidays are known as wakes, and beginning from about the middle of June one town after another takes ite holiday, uatil early September sees the end.Liver.i and Manchester are about tho only towns of importance that do not follow the custom, ns they are too large to shut down in this manner.Every town has its holiday fund, which in each case amounts to many thousands, Oldham saving between $760,000 and $1,000,000 for its outing, while Blackburn operatives have more than once saved some $750,- 000 for the same purpose.At one time these thousands of workers on holiday seldom traveled farther nfteld than the lsle of Man, Blackpool or the Yorkshire const, but now many of them go to Bwitzerland or France\u2014 on one ocension 700 men from Burn.ley paraded before the President iu Paris\u2014while great numbers visit all the English seaside towns.Most of the Scottish towns take a week off in the same way.In July the visitor is often surprised at the drow: ed trains that pass him as he is journeying toward Edinburgh, and when he inquires why his train is an hour late he is told that traffio is very heavy as holiday week has begun.hon Edinburgh's holiday is over Glasgow's turn comes, maybe, snd so on until the season is over.In the south of England there is one town that shuts down for a week.This is Swindon, the Wiltshire town thut consists almost exclusively of Great Western Railway workers.Naturally when some take n holiday all must follow, so about the beginning of July some 25,000 people leave Swindon on one day, Weymouth and Weston-super-Mare usually being the favorite destination.About two doz en trains are required to carry away this holiday crowd.King Edward's Card-Indexes.Several persons of importance when first presented to King Edward expressed their amazement at the marvellous knowledge His Majesty a sessed concerning their affairs, their achievements, and the members of their family.As people never obtained access to His Majesty without a previous appointment or invitation, the sovereign had plenty of time to order those under him to look up particulars of the \u201ccaller\u201d and place the same before him.In this way the King became quite intimate with the affairs of the majority of the people who entered his palace.It is not generally known that King Edward for many years ran a scries of card-indexes, of the kind common in all large commercial houses.These were kept at Buckingham Palace, and when a person not attached to a royal family called upon the King, his name, together with a short uc- count of what paseed at the interview, particulars of his career and his achievements, and a short history of his family, were placed on a card and filed in the usoal way, If the \u201ccaller\u201d again vislted the King, the card-index was consulted.In this way His Majesty was able to recall to mind who end what his visitor was, and prepare himself sccordingly.AL several courts of Europe, inelud- ing Britain, brief records of scandals affecting people are preserved, in order that the appearance at court of those compromised thereby may be avoided.The British royal records of unpleasant incidents are kept by the Lord Chamberlain's department.People who invite the King and Queen to dinner must escort their royal guests into the dining-room first and see that they are placed in the centre of one side of the table, with the principal guests on both sides of them.It is considered etiquette for people to address the King as Bir\" and the Queen as \u201cMadam.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Best Known Portrait.In a discussion 8s to what is the most common and familiar portrait in the world, writes Arthur Loring Bruce, on¢ man wus sure Raphael's Sistine Madonna was the best known portrait in the world.Another was all for Leonardo\u2019s Mona Lina, Still another contended that no likeness was so universally known us that of King Edward on the coins of Greut Britain.The sphinx was mentioned and the Venus of Milo.The discussion was growing warmer when a mild and callow youth chirped up with :

Gleaner Dec, 8, 1910 Huntingdon, Que, NOTES OF THE WEEK Every newspaper reader is aware of the fact that next week h deputation of farmers comes frm the Northwest by spécial train to Ottawa to ask Lhe government \u201colower the tariff and endeavor io secure a treaty of reciprocity with our neighbors.That delegation wiil he reinforced by a large contingent uf farmers from every part pf ontario.Only those who have an opportunity of seeing Ontario daily papers can realize the desperate opposition that is being put forth to prevent reciprocity.The recent visit of two delegates {rom Wash- fngton to prepare the way for a treaty was ridiculed and mocked, and their speedy departure exulted over as a sign of failure.The pretence is, that any approach to fow- ering the bars that hinders trade tetween \u2018the two countries is *reason, zn\u2018l \u2018he loyalty ery is used to the full.Of course, ihe inspiration of this opposition comes from the manufacturers.They dread American competition, for \u2018t would result in cutting down their undue profits.The situation is therefore, the farmers declaring they want reciprocity and the manufacturers fighting against it tooth and nail.Another week will show which has most influence with Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his ministers\u2014the farmers or the manufacturers.It is a straight pull between them, and the question {or the residents of the Beauharnois to ask themselves is.Which side are vou going Lo help, district of or are you going to stand nilently by?A pressing invitation has come from Torcnto that the farmers of this district back up the demonstration of next week by sending a delegation.They do not want it said, Quebec is indifferent.That the this part of province want reciprocity there is not a shade of doubt, and why Ehould they not say so When their farmers of the voice on its side will have weight?When farmers travel great dis- 2000 miles, next week in order to speak their shall we, tances, come of them minds to the government, who are within a few hours\u2019 travel of Ottawa.not help them?It in for the farmers themselves to decide, and to give them a chance to do £0 'a meeting has Teen called, Resolutions

being.powerless.The revolt began with the landing of the sailors of the Patria, who marched to the public square, where they fired three volleys as a signal to the troops.who at once forced an entrance to the armory and, joined the seamen.Several hundred strong they proceeded to the Santaclara convent, they drove out nuns, ordering them.to leave the éstand.The nuns fled to Hong Kong.From the convent the rebels marched to the govern- house before which they mounted a cannon.An interview with the governor Was requested and when the officers at the government house intervened they were silenced at the point of tha bayonet.The governor was compelled to hear the demands, which were: The expulsion of religious orders, increased pay for the army snd navy; suppression of the newspaper,

worse effect on \"most people in winter than in summer, and he ad- their wealth and mental faculties Smpair- vises all smokers who find ed in winter for no apparent reason to accept tobacco as the explana- sion, and to cut down their smoking quring the colder months.Tobacec.be said, is a Very powerful drug, and cannot he consumed in large quantities withont producing a cer- \u2018ain effect on tthe heart.First, it slows the action, \u2018hen it quickens it: and it is this constant reaction which even!ually produces smoke.\u2019s cart.lt muet be remembered that during the winter the heart has a great deal more Work to dio than in summer, for the cold causes the blood vessels to become small and pinched.It is thus Car less nble to bear the extra strain put upon it by smoking, and the reaction pro- dnsed by tobacco is felt to a much greater degree.And you cannot continue overworking your heart without unpleasant results.Since the effect of tobacco varies with the individual, concluded the physé- cian, it is not invariably the case that smoking has a worse effect in winter than in summer.But {tun- KMoubtedly is so with a large proportion of people.Montreal,

crackling of footsteps behind him.He turned to se» wl.o it was, and his heart sank as he recognize! in the stranger an Albany lawyer, who, after glancing him over, abruptly said\u2014 «From the description supplied to me I take you to be the party I have come to see.You are the fellow who passes hy the name of Morven, and who is agent for this settlement?\u201d «I am, and you are lawyer Hoover of Albany, for I have seen you in court and heard you speak at Whig meetings.\u201d HooveEr\u2014You are correct, only I am now the Honorable Douw Hoover.I have ridden from Albany, and it has been a weary ride, to arrange with you, as the reputed leader of the settlement, for the change you must lave been expeetimg.The lands of the people you represent are included in the Confiscation Act of New York State, and I have Leen commissioned by the Governor to see to the seizure and transfer of these lands in due form to their new and rightful owners.Here are copies of the documents that certify this, and, for their own sakes, | hope the People will quictly obey the orders they contain and obviate the use of force.To elluet n peaceable transfer I have come in person instend of sending an officer with a posse comitatus.MorvEN\u2014I do not wish to read them.I take your word for having authority and that our furs are confiscated.One winter, when out of work, 1 often visited the Albany court-room and heard you plead.As a lawyer, I ask you if it is justice to yob us of our land?\u2019 Hoovrr\u2014Robbery: Is that the word you use regarding a solemn deliverance of our New York Legislature?What could you and your traitorous crew expect?You refused to take the oath of allegiance when proclamations were posted.Instead, you made war on the American people, and joined with the Indians in their lellish deeds.Justice! Were justice done you, the hangman's rope would be the due of every mother's son of you.The common- wealih, in its benign clemency, spares you your worthless lives on condition that you leave the country.MORVEN\u2014 Are we not part of the American people?Of course we are?How then could we make war on then\u2019 When the first gun was fired at Lexington not half of the people of America were for separation and we resisted.The struggle that ended at Yorktown was not between Britain and America.It was a civil war, waged between two sections of the people of these colonies, with Britain aiding the party who were for continuing the government as it was.It was brother against brother, father against son, who fought, and the loyalist side lost.I deny that we loyalists ever made war on the American people.We stood for the old way, for things as they were, and it was you who were for changing them and used the sword to force your opinions on us.HoovER\u2014Never mind what was true when the patriots of Lexington dared to withstand the tyrant.The strong fact of the case, and the only one that concerns you, is, that the progress of events so convinced all right-minded people that they came round to support the glorious party of freedom\u2014 MorvEN \u2014Not all.Tens of thousands of the hest class of Americans are being compelled to leave the country which is just as much their country as yours.It is reported one hundred thousand loyalists have left New York.HoovEr\u2014They are the despicable enemies of our noble republic and may be thankful they are allowed to leave.MorvEN\u2014You have stripped them of all they possessed: they go forth penniless to seek new homes.Hoover\u2014It is the law of nations, that the property of rebels becomes confiscate to the state.MorvEN\u2014They are not rebels to the government of their fathers or to the povernment that had been established in this land for nigh two centuries.You repronch myself and my people for refusing to change our allegionce.Could we turn against the land of our birth?The wretc}i who, for gain, foreswears the land of his futhers arid turns his hand against it, is a traitor tu the best instincts of human nature.MoovEr\u2014Ser: here, law is law and has to be obeyed.The sovercign people of these United States decided on independence, and whoever, at the proper tine, refused to take the oath of allegiance to it is a rebel und to be treated as rebels deserve.MorvEN\u2014Look out on that plain at our feet.You see men and women cutting grain, Hark, you may hear the song they sing in Scotland when harvesting.These people found that plain a forest.They felled the trees, they brought it into cultivation, they built those houses\u2014every improvement you see is the fruit of their industry.Is it right that, because you, and a number like you, rebelled against the government these people found established when they came to America, and have substituted one of your own device in ita place, that you should rob them of their homes?Why should a change in form of government deprive them of the property they created by ; their labor?HooveR\u2014They had their option.Had they united with the sovereign people in resisting the tyrant George they would not now be disturbed.MonrvEN-
