Would it not be a good act before Spring trade absorbs too much attention and energy for the town council, board nf trade and other business men to hold a banquet and spend an evening discussing town affairs? Three or four subjects could be selected in advance for discussion. The "Get-Together" idea ns becoming popular and this town might benefit by the suggestion. Board of Trade migh take the initiative. We have read with keen interest Inspector Inspector Albert Odell's address to Coun ^ ties' Council in which he oütlinesteachers agricultural courses, school gardens and said a favorable word of consolidated schools as the only known method of providing providing adequate primary and secondary education for children in rural sections. The benefit of receiving instruction from skilled teachers will be very great, it being being the easiest and cheapest way to give country children advanced education on Agriculture as each school would be an agricultural college. Rural children will have some of the advantages enjoyed by those in cities and towns where nigh schools are established. Give the children children on the farms all possible opportunities for the development of true citizenship. So say we all. It is encouraging to see so many inter- i ational social functions being held in American and Canadian cities at which prominent men from both countries meet together in goodfeilowship and to hear addresses on questions of common interest. interest. It's tendency must be towards inter- ! j national peace, closer friendseip and better better understanding between the peoples of both countries. These thoughts came to us while reading in Cobourg papers of the cordial receptions given to Mr. Frank M. Field, K. C., ot that town, President of the Ontario Bar Association, by the New York State Bar Association at Hotel As- tor in New York City Jan. 31 and at several several other public functions during his stay in Gotham. When Americans and Canadians Canadians come together they find that there is not so much difference between them after all.

Hayden, Reeve I of Port Hope that $200 was granted at Counties Council to the hospitals at Cobourg, Cobourg, Port Hope aid Bowmanville. These grants are quite proper and justified from the fact that none of these institu- ! tions are self-sustaining and have to be in ! a measure supported by the people in the ! towns where located, while all the sar- rounding municipalities have the same priviliges in using these hospitals as occasion occasion may require. 1 hey are public institutions institutions established by voluntary contributions contributions of generously disposed people and in our opinion, are worthy of public grants to assist in their maintenance. Hospitals stand to offer skill d service to afflicted and injured ones that personally they could not well afford in their homes -and especially to young men who have no permanent home in places where they work. Many reasons might be advanced why hospitals deserve public assistance. didn't I have this bathroom put in long ago.

Our citizens invariably receive high praise for hospitality whenever conventions, conventions, conferences or other large gatherings gatherings of outsiders meet in Bowmanville. This is very grafitying. It was a high compliment to hear at the Conference Epworth League convention that the financial offerings at the public meetings were larger than at any former convention convention anywhere. v\ hile this is so there was one feature that we sincerely regretted, regretted, namely, that more citizens did not attend the public meetings on each of the three evenings of the convention when eminent speakers were announced to deliver deliver addresses. It is said greater numbers numbers of citizens attended here than any other town, but yet there was room for many more. These meetings afforded all grand opportunities for hearing some of the best thoughts of leading men active in church enterprises. Sure y there is still a necessity for developing a desire and taste for more of the true, the good and the beautiful in life around us. Especially Especially did we wish that more young men were present to catch some of the inspiration that fell from the lips of the speakers. It was a splendid opportunity missed by many.
