It is founded on the elements of longhand writing writing to which the hand has been accustomed almost from infancy. It does not require the use of zigzag movements that are so much used in the old time sys- tems-movements which are unnatural unnatural to the hand and which are detrimental t o longhand penmanship. The writing of Gregg Shorthand Shorthand increases facility in long- hand writing, and what is of even greater importance, the training the student has already received in writing longhand becomes immediately available in writing Gregg Shorthand. Gregg is the. system with which our students are making their splendid records. St. Catharines Business Collegé. T. F. WRIGHT, Principal TIPSY AND BUM Your readers may think me extreme, or even doubt my assertions. Let me advise such to purchase a little book which they can get in any bookstore for twenty-five cents. It is entitled "Hygiene for Young People" by Knight, a Pro lessor in Queen's University, Kingston, and recommended by the Minister of Education. In it will be found much useful information for young and old about the preservation of health, the core of the eyes, ears, teeth and skin, etc. If read and applied, it is worth many times its price. Please turn to page 177, "Alcohol and Animals" and read a very interesting account of how Dr. Hodge, of Clark University, Worcester, Worcester, Mass., sought to find out whether the moderate use of alcohol is harmful or not. He took two puppies which he called Tipsy" and "Bum" and began mixing a little alcohol with their food. Two other puppies of the same age, which he called "Topsy" and "Nig", were treated in every way the same as the others only that they were given no alcohol. For the first six months they all seemed to grow alike but those to which the alcohol was given were not nearly so active nor so strong, and they were much more liable to sickness. sickness. By the aid of a pedometer attached to their collars Dr. Hodge found out that for every TOO yards that Nig went, Bum went only 71; and for every loo yards that Topsy went, Tipsy went only 57- In fact the drinkers were always lazy and were not able to keep up the running so long. Tipsy and Bum were also more timid and nervous than Nig and Topsy. In short, these two dogs behaved in exactly. the same way as drinkers who work in mines, factories or mills. Employers tell us that drinkers lose much more time than nondrinkers nondrinkers and that they cannot work as hard or as long. When these dogs were two.years old, In our visit to the military Camp at Valcartier, Quebec, last week one of the features of the camp was the grand • service service being rendered there and the work being done by the National Council of Young Men's Christian Associations of Canada among the troops. Rev. John D. Morrow, the well known; pastor of Dale Presbyterian Churcti, who was a member of our party, had thofiïonor of addressing the boys in the Y.M.C.A; tent and grounds twice during our stay. Supposedly 5000 were within the sound of his voice as he spoke on fighting the good fight of Faith. It was an inspiring sight to see and hear the thousands of voices singing "Throw out the life line" and other popular sacred airs on Sunday evening. Many of them are excellent singers, too. It was a very great satisfaction to Rev. Mr. Morrow when at the close of the service one soldier soldier boy made his way thru the throng to the preacher and taking him by the hand, thanked him for his address and said he had decided right there and then to live for God and to fight in His strength the good fight. We think we may venture the opinion that no man who has visited the Valcartier Camp won the hearts and good-will of as many of the boys as Rev, J. D. Morrow. We learn from Mr. C. M. Copeland, Secretary, that year after year for 43 years the Young Men's Christian Association Association has conducted work among the Canadian Militia at their Annual Train ing Camps. This work has so approved itself that His Royal Highness, the Gov ernor-General, has graciously consented to become Patron, the Militia Council has given it official recognition, commandants of camps have stated that they would not want to conduct a camp without the Association, Association, the present Minister of Militia and Defence in speaking of it said: "It is gold to the country" and the men expect to find the Y.M.C.A. tent and look for it and make large use of it. At the time of the Boer War the Canadian Canadian Associations sent Messrs. Howard Barrie and T. F. Best with two of the Canadian contingents. During the Spanish-American Spanish-American War, the North American Associations, through their International Committee, followed the American soldiers soldiers to their State Camps, to the mobilization mobilization camps, and to Cuba and the Philippines. Philippines. In the Russo-Japanese War, Am erïcan (U. S. and Canada) and Japanese Y.M.C.A. Secretaries accompanied the Japanese army to the front. So impressed impressed with the value of the work and appreciative appreciative of thé services rendered was the Emperor of Japan, that he gave $5000 gold towards defraying the expense involved. involved. Immediately upon the outbreak of the present war between Britain and Germany the Canadian National Council offered its services to the Canadian Militia Department Department for work at the mobilization camp and over-seas. Canadian hearts go out towards the over 30,000 Canadian troops at Valcartier, and there the Canadian National Council of Young Men's Christian Christian Associations is working for the welfare, welfare, comfort and convenience of these men. The equipment consists at present of three large tents. Ten thousand letterheads letterheads and five thousand envelopes daily are being distributed to the men gratis; the average daily sale of postage stamps is over $600; picture postcards, largely military and patriotic, are sold; tables, pens and ink are provided. This department department alone takes the time of three men. "The Dry Canteen" supplements the army rations. Here at moderate cost are provided provided biscuits, cakes, pies, oranges, bananas, bananas, ice cream, orangeade, etc. This is a popular place, and it is not. uncommon to see the men lined up four or five deep waiting to be served. Especially after a OSHAWA FAIR. Whitby Presbytery met at Whitby Thursday Sept. loth. There were present Messrs. McKeen, Cameron, Haig, West, Lowry, Yule, Drumm, and Mcllroy, ministers, ministers, and Messrs. McMurtry, McLaughlin, McLaughlin, Keith, Fraser, Heron, and Cottem, elders. The Women's Presbyterial announced that their united Women's Missionary Society would hold their first annual meeting at Whitby on Sept. 29th. Mr. Drumm was appointed to represent Presbytery Presbytery at this meeting. The following special committee on Systematic Giving was appointed: Messrs.

This committee will meet at Oshawa on Sept. 23rd, and prepare a report to be submitted to Presbytery at the time of the Synod meeting in Toronto. The following resolution re Dr. Abraham Abraham was adopted and ordered to be engrossed engrossed in the permanent minutes of Presbytery. Presbytery. "Dr. John Abraham, who now retires from the active duties of the ministry, ministry, was ordained in Nov. 1872, and has thus been nearly, forty-two years in the ministry. His pastorate in St. Andrews' Church, Whitby, began in 1879 an< J has continued till his present retirement, a period of 35 years. During this long ministry ministry he shepherded the flock committed to his charge faithfully and tenderly, with the passing years he grew intellectually and in spiritual power, his congregation became a school from which in the succeeding succeeding years the young people have gone out equipped for life's work with the love of Jesus in their hearts. He so grew in the estimation and esteem of the whole community that wherever he went his presence was a benediction. He has long been the father of the Presbytery, and a recognized authority on the usage of our church courts, we have looked to him for guidance constantly and confident y, and will feel bereft by his absence. _ He has been honored by his Synod in being asked to serve as its Moderator, and recognized by his College in having conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. He took a large part in the care of all the churches and gave effective assistance in the general work of our beloved Zion. We pray for him and his wife who has stood faithfully by his side through all his work and labor ot love, that their retirement retirement may be long and happy, and that God may establish the work of their hands." A call from the congregations of Ash- burn and Utica was laid on the table in favor of Rev. Wm. Johnszon, late of Mill- brook. It is earnestly hoped that Mr. Johnston will accept the call. Provisional Provisional arrangements were made for his induction.. induction.. The Presbytery was favored by a visit from the Right Rev. Dr. Herridge, Moderator Moderator of the Assembly, and Rev. Dr. A. S. Grant, Chairman of the Finance Board. These two men of light and leading had a message that gave a wider vision of the task of the church and helped to a stronger stronger grip of the hand of the great King and Head of the Church.

Topsy and Nig, the dogs that had no alcohol, had it very slightly and recovered. Tipsy and Bum, the dogs that had the alcohol, took it very severely and died. This accords with the effect of alcohol on men and women. It weakens the deli- ' cate little organisms that defend us against the germs of disease and so renders us more liable to have disease and to have it more severely. Experiments conducted in German Schools, by giving a certain number of pupils a small quantity of beer or wine and setting them to work at a similar task with those who did not have any beer or wine, showed that even in For those disposed to indulge in such recreation, recreation, and there are many, balls and bats, footballs and quoits are provided, while for those less strenuously inclined, checkers, chess, and dominoes are at hand, for those with musical tastes there is the piano, which is much used.

Moving pictures are shown out doors or in the tent, the General Film Exchange Exchange in Montreal furnishing without charge two reels daily. Song services and gospel meetings, largely attended, are held "down the lines", around a camp fire or in one of the tents. At the camp-fire meeting", as many crowd around as can hear, and all join heartily in the singing_of the old well-known hymns. _ A special hymn and song book (an edition of 25000) has been prepared to give the men as they leave for the front. There are now thirty Association men engaged in this work _ at Valcartier. Associations are releasing their Secretaries, and several churches have loaned their pastors for this service. The value of all this work and of the silent influence of the workers, and even of the name "Y.M.C.A." itself among men situated as are our troops at Valcartier, is not easily estimated, but it is very great. We freely give this much space to this information because of the grand and highly appreciated work this organization is doing for the men who have volunteered volunteered to fight for freedom arid national righteousness. righteousness.

In the first place you must have seen cablegrams to the effect that the war in Europe has stirred India from end to end and that there is a great wave of loyalty spreading over the whole country. Not only the Rajahs and Indian Princes are offering themselves, their money and troops, but in every Town and and City, public subscriptions have been opened and money is being collected for Red Cross Hospitals for the relief of the wounded, for the care of Widows and Orphans, and for other such benevolent purposes. It has been a great thing that during the past few years we have had as our Viceroy a man so large minded and so sympathetic and capable as Lord Hardin Hardin ge and at the same time there have been men in England like Premier Asquith and Sir Edward Grey, whom the people of India have learnt to admire if not to love. We feel here in Bombay that we are perfectly safe from any foreign attack, attack, our business goes on as usual, our mails from Europe come and go as usual, although the route through France and Italy has been closed for the time.

LIBRARY INSTITUTE We have received a lengthy and interesting interesting report of the recent Library Institute Institute at Beaverton written by Miss J. Gale, Librarian of Bowmanville Public Library, but we are unable to publish it in full without crowding out interesting local matters that have a more general interest for our readers. A brief summary follows: follows: . The 6th annual Library Institute for this District was held at Beaverton July 30-31, Mr. O. A. Langley, B.C.L., Lake- field, presiding. A very large delegation was present. . Mr. H. Roach, Chairman of Beaverton Library Board, extended a welcome and delegates were treated to a motor car ride.

County Councils are not all making annual grants to Public Libraries; those not doing so are urged to do so Miss Mabel Dunham, Berlin, said that books should be well chosen and suitable suitable to the community. It is a poor practise practise to let booksellers select the books. Standard books should be kept up-to-date. Competent librarians can choose the books best. Miss Spearman, Department of Education, Toronto, gave a thoroly practical talk on book-binding, mending, stamping, cleaning, etc; the information she gave was very useful. Mr. W. K. Nursey, Inspector of Public Libraries, took part in the discussions. He is a decided decided disciplinarian and insists on strictly carrying out the most accurate details. Election of officers resulted as follows. President--Samuel Farmer, Port Perry, Vice President-J. F. Givens, Beaverton; Secretary--O. A.
