Schoolhousp of Western Canada ia a Community Centre. | Nations are built in tlie public : schools. The ideals set up by the ' school teacher remain very largely the ideals of the pupil throughout life, and his conception of patriotism will be what he has been taught during his j school yoniri. It is not too much to i say that the pi-e.sent world war is due i to a difference of ideals fostered by different systems of education. Great a-" is the importance of the public school in old and well estab- lished countries, this importance is even greater In the new lands which are being c:illed upon to assimilate populations from the more congested countries. In such a country as West- ern Canada, the public school has to take on functions not usually associ- ated with it in the older and more densely settled communities. The prairie sihoolhouse is not merely a centre of education; it is also the re- ligious and social centre of the dis- trict. During the week days the school teacher furnishes education to the children of the neighborhood, but on Sunday the missionary holds his services, which all attend regardless of creed or nationality, and on week nights the building is used for meet- ings of farmers, for the various com- munity societies; for the Red Cross or Patriotic Club, and for purely so- cial events such as debates, concerts and dances. To facilitate the latter, it may be noted that many country schoolhouses use removable desks which the willing hands of the farm- ers' boys quickly dispose of whenever there is a dance in prospect. Another phase of community work associated with the rural school which has been coming into promin- ence during the last few years is the -Supply of books to settlers in the dis- trict. This work is encouraged and assisted by the central Department of Education, which provides catalogues of books suitable for such purposes, the actual selection being left to the teacher. The number of books allot- ted to a school district is based on the report of the inspector of schools. In the Province of Alberta, although this school library movement is only in its infancy, no less than 110,000 books were supplied for this purpo.se last year, at a cost of some $30,000.00. Educationists of the province look forward to the time when every school district will be R library centre, giving to the settlers the facilities now afforded" to residents of cities and towns through their pub- lic libraries. The prosperity which has almost overwhelmed rural Alberta In the last two years, when farmers have been reaping enormous crops and selling them at the highest figures in history, promises to contribute still further to the importance of the rural citizens."

The trouble is often mistaken for mere nervousness, or awkwardness. It usually attacks young children, most often between the ages of six Spiritual Needs of Troops. Writing on the work of the Cana- dian chaplains in France, Capt. Chas. G, D. Roberts sends an article to the Canadian Minister of Militia, in part as follows: â€" The work of the Canadian Chap- lain Service has been so successful, so rich in results, and conducted along such broadly human lines, that it is impossible to do it anything ap- proaching justice within the space of a newspaper artirle.

The trench was one cut off from our lines and occupied in part by the German-s. Another of our padres was wounded while rescuing Australian wounded at Mouquot Farm. Suffice to say that three C.M.G.'ii and five Military Crosses have been awarded amoong the padres, while many more such honors have been am- ply deserved. It is significant to note that of the thirty padres who left Canada with our first contingent in September, I'JM, there are now only nine remaining in the field. Enlist At Such A Time. A mustering officer, in the early days of the war, before England was aroused, met on the street of a coast village a strapping fellow about twenty-one years old. The officer hailed him . "See 'ere, me lad," ho said, "are you in good 'ealth?" "I are," said the youth. "Are you married?" "I aren't." " 'Ave you anyone dependent on you?" "I 'ave not." "Then your King and country need you.

Any symptom of nerve trouble in young children should be promptly treated as it is almost sure to lead to St. Vitus Dance. The following is proof of the power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to cure this trouble. Miss Hattie Cummings, R. R. No. 3, Peterboro, Ont., say,j: â€" "I was attacked with what the doctor said was St. Vitus Dance. Both my hands trembled so as to be practically useless. Then the trouble went to my left side, and from that to my right leg, and left me in such a condition that I was not able to go out of the house. I took the doctor's medicine without get- ting any benefit. Then I tried an- other remedy with the same poor re- sults. At this stage I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and did so, with the result that they fully restored me to health, and I have not had the slightest symptom of nervous trouble since. I can recom- mend these pills to anyone who is suffering from nervous trouble, and hope they will profit by my experi- ence." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from any drug dealer or by mail at hVi cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Rrockville. Ont. ! -----.> RUSSIAN REFUGEES SUFFER. Food, Clothing, Medicine Necessary to I Ward Off Wholesale Deaths. I A report on the condition of the Russian refugees is given by Thomas W. Whitti'more of Boston, who is now ] in -lapan for supplies after long scr- 1 vices in directing the work of the .Vmerican Committee for the Relief of Russian refugees in Russia. The forced migration of the people of Lit- ' tie Russia into the heart of the Em- pire was described by him as one of the greatest movements of people in history. He said that the names of as many as 3,000,000 refugees were on the ofl[lcial list, and although the Rus- sian Government is doing everything humanly possible to ameliorate their I condition much remains to be done in I the way of food, clothing, medicine I and shelter. Thousands died in the flight. Burely fed, poorly clotheil, j masses were carried away by contag- ious disca.'^es and the rest remained ! helpless, gathered in barracks and I other public places vaguely and blind- j ly waiting for occupation. The Russian Government has fin- ally distributed these refugees among self-sacrifice and courage. | It is not, by any means, to matters spiritual alone that the tireless ener- gies of the CCS. are devoted. The service looks after the comfort, re- creation and entertainment of the troops, by means of a highly-organiz- ed system of soldiers' institutes, can- teens and cinema shows, which keep them out of mischief or boredom dur- ing the period when they come back from the trenches to the rest camps. This system is run on a merely nomin- al margin of profit, and the accounts are officially audited by the Paymas- ter's Department. .Narrow as is the margin, it yields a hand.-^ome profit, which in returned to the men again in whatever form may seem to be most needed. No small part of it goes to the provision of free coffee â€" hot coffeeâ€" at all hours of day or night, for the men who arc entering or leav- ing the trenches. But it is when a battle is on that the Church militant peculi.trly justi- fies its title. Where the wounded and dead are falling, there you will find the "padres." They are by no means confining themselves to their spiritual functions. They arc helping and in- spiring the stretcher-bearers, the am- bulance men, the furgeons. Their activities are limited only by the needs of the situation. For instance, dur- ing the second battle of Vprcs the padres in different (juartcrs of the battlefield organi/.ed voluntary stretcher-bearer parties, guided them up into No Man's Land, and worked with them night after night in find- ing and liringing out the wounded. In this task one of the padres was taken prisiuier. At the Somme, too, one of the padres organized a rescue party, led it up under deadly shell fire, and brought back ten wounded National Service Cards. The time fur those persons who have not tilled in the National Service cards, or have not properly filled them in, has been extended to the 31st day of March, 1917. anil further cards have again been issued to the post- masters for distribution among those who have made default. It is under- stood that the returns from the 2nd Military Di.strict have been most gra- tifying. There are, however, even in this District a number who have not properly made their returns. The Na- tional Service Board hopes that every- one in the District will use his or her very best efforts in order to make the returns from this District as nearly perfect as possible.

An expeditionary force was on the march when the animal was sighted, and Lieut. Houwer dropped out to try a shot. The leopard sud- I denly charged the officer, and the best Ihe could <io was jam his rifle in the I open mouth of the beast.
