P. R. reduction lu grain and freight rates of one and one-haif cents per 100 pounds from the first of the present month, is a reminder of the advantageous condi- tions sccured by the Government when making the Crow's Nest Railway con- tract with the C, P. R. This was one of the concessions then demandetI, but ridiculed at the time by Opposition speakers and writers. Purther reduc- tions are to follow, and whatever the other fellow xnay ýsay, the farmer, who has been under the heel of exhorbitant freight charges so long, has a practical opportunity of testing their value. The dlaim that the Liberal Government isi the farmer's friend has another justifi- cation. YES, OR No A plebiscite, yes or no, to the sale ef iqiior-in- Canada-is---to -take place--on-- fI-.

The resuits in Form 1 are realiy something to be proud of, as on]N two failed to pass while fully thirty per cent of our pupils obtained honor standin-an average of 67 per cent in each subject. It should be 'borne in mmnd that a large number of those who passed this exa-aination and even of those who ob- tained honors, have only been one year lu attendance at the High School, while the work required is far more than can generally be accomplished in that time. The resuits in Form II are equally encouraging. This is always a hard examination to-pass, and this vear was no exception to the rule, but a very large per centage from our school was successful. Miss Amy McKýowan obtain honors on passing the examination of Form II,--a most credîtable record in- deed. For the information.of the pub- lic, we might state that the Form Il ex amination is divided into two parts. Passing in botb of these simultaneously is indicated in the published resilts as "Form. IF" simply, and this standing entities one to a Primary certificate, which correspontds to the oldThird class. Form 11 (4), Form I1 (3), Matriculation (4) and Matriculation (3) in the published resnlts cannot well be made intelligible to the general public, sa q these are al applied in slightly difforiaýg senses to passing Part I of Form Il, whi h con- sists of English Grammar, Eng-iish His- tory and Arithm9tic, with or without Physics. Resuits in Forms III and IV, will be pnblished next week. The Saivation Armv bas. appointed the dates of the year's Harvest Thanks- giving celebration to be Saturday, Sun- day, Monday and Tuesday, August 27, 28, 29 and 30.
