W.H.l Outfitter for Mein Opposite Bank of Montreal n, Y( >ung Men and Boys Bowmanville F 1ACTS WORTH KNOWING ABOUT BO WMAN VILLE 1 THE EDITOR TALKS Dr. J. H. Putman, Senior Inspector of Ottawa Publie Sehools, bas sent us a copy of bis annual report to the city school board, which we have read with keen interest. In our last issue we said in our "Taiks" that book- learning is only a small part of what every sehool should do for the boys and girls who are being eduacated there. Referriag to the genuine menit of a school Dr. Putinan says: Its continued existence and growing popularity proves that it has done something to meet the real needs of] Young people. Aside froin the practical nature and breadth of its curriculum, the echool owes any good reputation it may have to the char- acter of the men and women who have been its teachers. They have taught boys and girls rather than arithmetic or geography. They have been wise enough to understand that students while requiring a firm con- trol, will respond with enthusiasia to those who take an interest in thein, who try to help thein and who will patiently lead them to interpret nat- ure's laws, Our social institutions and the many instruments used by man to achieve his present civilization. The achool bas made good use of books but the buman touch that kin- dlçs a spiritual glow and awakens an ambition to conquer 'a diffilculty bas been used still more. WONDERFUL MEETINGS The remarkably successful evan- gelistic services being held ini the Methodist Church are marked by in- creasing interest. Sermons each afternoon and evening by Dr. Mahood are beartsearcbing messages andhelp- ful to ail. The singing led by Mr. Waugh and large Chorus-Chàir is a very attractive feature of the meet- ings.
