Be content to have your children "make haste slow- ly" in their musical education, . They will go further in the énd because they will understand. : Termly reports are sent out. From time to time, as needed, the teacher will write comments in ink in the child's practice book. Parents who wish to comment on the child's work may write their remarks similarly in the practice book. The cost of books and equipment for the first term is approximately $1.50, This equipment will be purchased when needed, as instructed by the teacher. Pupils are expected to enrol at the beginning of the school year, and should be present at the first lesson. Those not able to do this may register on a waiting list and will be admitted if vacancies occur, at the discretion of the teacher. 3 No pupil will be admitted who has had private piano instruction within the past six months. The teacher relies upon the sym- pathy and co-operation of the parénts in seeing that the pupils take their musical education seriously, letting nothing interfere with regular attend- ance and punctuality, and having regular hours for home practice.

'The World's Largest Airship = Once in a while it is worth the trouble to study the accom- plishment made in the building of airships. Through the courtesy of Mr. W. J. Anderson, (who was a recent visitor at Akron, Ohio,) We are able to give facts that are some indication of the immense size of this most modern airship. It was launched on August 8th by Mrs. Herbert Hoover, A glance at these figures will be 'a revelation to most of our readers. Statistical Facts About the U. S. 8S. Akron.

While thousands of Canadians are many businesses are at a standstill courageously planning to make work to relieve coming winter's distress--there is another--and brighter--side of the picture. FThe problem is being tackled --somebody is "doing something about it." Better times are nearer than just-round-the-corner-- they are in sight. For every one person who is unemployed--there are scores who have jobs--pay envelopes--salaries--incomes--stipends-- dividends. Saving deposits in Canada are greater by $40,000,000 than a year ago. Canadian Firms will in September pay out over $15,000,000 in dividends. And even though many firms are not piling up the profits of 1928-29, thousands of factories are work- ing. Stores are buying--railways are hauling--places of amuse- ment are thronged--radios shout from every home. Somebody has money---somebody is spending. The old bus of business is near the top of the long hill of De- pression. It néeds a strong, concerted push to the top. But who is to do the pushing? Certainly not the unemployed--they can't - do it. It is for those who are in jobs--in positions--in office. In almost every line of merchandise today's prices are lower-- values greater-than at any time in the last 20 years. Today is the purchaser's opportunity---an opportunity to secure those things you need now--or will need in the near future. A New York Bank is reported as advising its 250,000 depositors to "re- serve against emergencies--at least six months' salary, "and with the surplus" make careful purchases of things you want for per- manent use, while prices remain low." This Bank also says-- "In our opinion the millions of savings and thrift de- positors in this country have it in their power to change the whole aspect of industrial and trade conditions." We make no comment. --we quote it only as an evidence of the Bank's courage to make such a proposal. The fact is, if commodities ar» bought, someone must receive wages for making them, someone thus has money to spend --has money to buy things When commodities are bought, comeone must make them --someone must receive wages (well, there we are, right in the circle again.) The two busy B's of Buying and Business must be twins! Did you ever stop to figure out the wages you create when you buy a piece of upholstered furniture (for instance.) Who cuts the lumber---who makes the g'ue--the springs--the fabries-- the moss--the fibre--the felt--the cotton and silk matérials. Men and women! Who carts all these to the factory--who. makes the motor trucks---the truck's tires--who supplies the gas--who serves out the lubricants. Who prints the catalogue--who photo- graphs the chesterfield--who mgkes the paper--ink--and who binds it. Who sells the furniture to the Retailer--types the order. Who makes the dress the typist's wages buy. Who sells the ma- chine she uses--ribbons--and rerairs. . Who sorts the letter in the Post Office--delivers it--. Who sells the furniture to you-- who delivers it. (We'll be mentioning 'motor car tires again, if we don't watch out!) Who makes the sales slip--peneil--and tags--the string---paper--crates. Who pays rent--employs window dressers and window cleaners. ; It makes one dizzy to think of all the people and wages in- volved in the purchase of any commodity -. . artists and a; A --managers and mechanics--=drivers and drovers--eclerk ant : clergymen.
