Holmes 1Por thc past three Monday e>vtnings from 6:30 to 8:30, classes have been conducted at the Boys Training School for the instruc- tion of the boys in the art of meet- inig emergencies. The St. Johns Ambulance course is capably or- gAnized and administered under ,àLe leadership of Corporal Charles 'ln0,an lm f the Royal Canadian Wounted Police. Four more classes ~4et remain to be held, three of thcm completing the course, and thc last to take the form of an exramination. Several boys from Bowman- ville go to the Training Sehool to take advantage of the training ot- fcrcd. There is a chàrge to these boys of $2.00. There are fifty- four boys fromr the school and about 9 from -the town. Depend- xig on the age of the boys and their education along the line of first aid, they are rewarded either Junior or Senior Certificates at the successful termînation of the course. According to Corporal Hoinian the percentage of failures 15 almost zero. Those who pass are allowed to keep their text books and practice Awandages without cost. The exam- MVations are conducted by quali- fied medical practitioners to en- sure that the boys have an accur- ate understandîng of the material.

IEWELL 1 #BIG 0"2011 121 King St. W., Bowmanvllle PHONE 556 however, sînce Corporal Holman is an expert in his field and knows how to get his ideas across to thc boys with the maximum of effect- iveness. It would interest tic citizens to sec the rapt attention of thc boys as they listen to the colorful ac- count of the functions of the parts of the body. Can you imagine complete attentiveness by a room- fui of youing fellows while listen- ing to a description of the action of the heart? This is what hap- pens. The method of delivery used by the Corporal is easy and as littie academic as possible. The technical terms are not ieft out. But they are insertcd in easy-to- take doses in between interesting expianations of operations on the heart and what to do in the case of sprains and strains... Corporal Holman is,,careful *to illustrate his explanàtioÉs with anecdotes and stories. Whenever a boy has a que stion to ask he can pipe Up at will, and he will ai- ways receive a'good-natured and satisfying reply. The t h eor y groups are as informai as teaching will allow, with the bbys sprawl- mng around their teacher on mats on the floor, or sitting however they wish on the benches provid- ed. Each boy is given a slip of pa- per containing a number. In or- der to ensure that each students will be asked at least one question during the course of the lecture, Corporal Holman calis on a dif- ferent number every time. Now and then when a trace of boisterousness creeps into the conduct of the group the Corporal blows his police whistle. This has the immediate effect of quîeting the offenders who don't happen to be paying attention. This was used on the partcular night reported to quieten the members of the practicai class. Mr. Holman di- vides his group in two parts, one taking the theory hour, and the other taking the practical. The practical group practices makng and applying bandages. This group is instructed by assistants to the Corporal. When the theory hour is up for one group, another hour is spent under practical in- struction. The practical group observed was producing bandages for a broken jaw. Two iengths of ban- dage were needed, one tied around the jaw and the top of the head, and the other tied from front to back. The ends left over when the bandages are tied look like rabbits ears. This wasn't what one of the boys thought, however. He looked with a laugh at his mate and said, "You look like a jackass." The gymnasium is used for the classes, with one end taken by each group. Now and then one of the side rooms is used when the Corporal finds it too difficuit to teach under the slightly noisy conditions. Large illustrations in full color are used to demonstrate the different parts of the body under discussion. The diagrams are complete and detailed. The equipment is of the highest quali- ty, and in the estimation of this reporter, so is the instruction. It would be a treat to most school children should they be certain of getting a teacher with Uic quai- ities of the Corporal. The attract- ive uniform of the Mountie , does much to command respect. But it is his convincing personality which does the real trick. In 1850 there were only 55 miles of raiiway in ail of Canada. This mileage is now part of the Canadian National Rail w a y s, which, 100 years later, operates more than 24,000 miles of track serving ail ten provinces and il states in the United States. n. .-~ p Palestine Chapter Install New 0f ficers With R.

The Junior Boys and Senior Girls have:to win to stay in the playoff s while the Senior Boys and Junior Girls will be coming up against their toughcst,. opposition. It is hoped that a cànce will- be held after the gaieçé. One day I was telling the above with whom he became întimately $5,000,000 this March. I and nlghtmarea of Uic sîcepers, he sald ho ,heard a youth sobbing li an adjacent bcd. He *went over to him and synipathetically asked what was Uic matter. "Mind your own business;' said Uic youth as he turncd over and was silent. Was that young man weeping because he could not find a job? Maybc so; but it is more likely that he had run away from home and was sobbing for his mother. The incident recalled a story told to me by an old man who had come to Canada ini his youth and worked his way up to a prominent position in thc mining industry. He had run away from home at thc age of sixteen and had taken a job as deck-hand on a trading ship sailing out of Bristol. At the first port of cail he went ashore and wandered around the city, growing more and more homesick in the Uirong, and he had difficulty in restraining his emotions. "At last," he told me, "icoming to a quiet place on the outskirts, I broke down and blubbcred like a baby for my mother." If anyonc had asked him what was the matter, he would probably have told him to mind his own business, for there was a story behind the story Uic aid man had told me. I did not ask him why he had run away from home, but I learned that later in a strange way. -w. a-j~~_5-~y4 story- to a mining man, - mention- ing It.y old friend's nflme --we will cail hini Jini Joncs. The min- ing --an listcncd attcntively and said: "My mother's name -was Joncs, and she used to tel us how one of *her brothers, named Jini, ran away from home in Bristol at the age of sixteen and was neyer heard of afterwards. He was a big lad for his age, and he struck a man and thought he had killed hini." The lad who was crying in Uic flophouse may have had same- thing ta hide when he told thc reporter to mid his own busi- ness. Somehow I admired that lad for his blunt independence. It was his business, and although it had brought himi to distress, he was going to sec it through. He might have made up a story that would appeal to Uic report- er's sympathy, but he was too honest for that - - he wept, but he did not whine. The reporter told of other Young men who had come into the city and swelled the ranks of Uic unemployed, many of whom were honestly looking for work. He found, however, that some of them were shiftless and were con- tent to sit around in Uic employ- ment offices and blame every- body else but themselves, Uic government in particular, for their position.
