Graham, General Secretary Secretary of the Department of Education of the Methodist Church, Victoria College, Toronto, writes: I have received a copy of The Canadian Statesman and deeply appreciate the hearty endorsation of the editor of the value of our Methodist Educational Educational work. We_do not claim perfection perfection in all our educational work and methods of operation, but we do believe in the fundamental value of Christian education education and in the training of men and women for leadership, and we feel like saying that we are doing a larger and better work than ever before in the history history of our church. Inasmuch as we know of your deep interest in our educational work we venture to send you copies of two or three pamphlets which you will read with interest. DURHAM COUNTY BOYS. Rev. T. H. P. Anderson, Hastings, in renewing his subscription, says: I like to have The Statesman for the news it brings us every week from our old home (Hampton) in Darlington, i wish also to speak about your reports of the Teachers Convention held in the Fall in Port Hope. I saw that some one had suggested to you that you had devoted rather too z much space to that convention and to school matters. It is hard for an editor to please everybody, but I must confess that I felt glad you devoted so much space to the convention reports. It would be a good thing if the parents of the children now going to school would,only take à more lively interest in what we used to call "our common school". Just look at Jhe pitifully small numbers of any community community that turn out to the annual school meeting. Anything that will diffuse information information regarding our schools and the methods of education I do not consider out of place. -.--ti, ■M sût at WEST END HOUSE * 55 •55 Many of our readers will be interested in the following clipping from the Daily News, Nelson, B.C., referring to two well- cnown Bowmanville boys, Under the leading of "Nelson's Progressive Business Vlen" it says: The City Drug and Stationery Stationery Company of this city is Nelson's most progressive and substantial business house of its kind.

A wholesale business is also done which means big purchases and consequently lower prices, enabling this well known firm to supply their many customers at prices below the ordinary. A feature of the business is the mail department, where every effort is made to send out all orders the same day as received. From a journalistic viewpoint great credit is due Mr. Joe A. Osborne, a Darlington Darlington boy, for issuing from his own press in the office of Fort Frances Times such an excellent illustrated number as his issue of Feb; 19.
