There will be a clamor for medical inspection as long as wé hâve the present curriculum, curriculum, which makes grammar, arithmetic and knowledge generally generally the end of education, and parents may be certain their children do not have the best chance as long as the intellect is forced" and the spirit neglected. There is much talk these days about vocational education. Its value depends upon the fact that it helps develop the personality. Itr awakens an interest in things that knowledge cannot do. It is work, companionship, nature", originality, self-reliance -- qualities that make the man and scholar. Vocational training is for the boy's personality, not for his bread and meat. These will come when thé good within him is drawn out. In that light it is a character builder. It contributes to the true citizenship. FROM DAWN TO DARK. Dr. James L. Hughes, Toronto.

One of the most arduous duties .which falls to the lot of the soldiers is perhaps that of outpost work, the special functions of which are to gather information concerning the enemy's movements. In order to obtain this information nearly every device is tried ; one such method is shown above. Under certain conditions a windmill offers a, good point of vantage for an observer, who stands on the axle, lining his body up against the arm of the sail. Concerning the general duties of outposts, the following quotation from an officer's letter was published published .recently in The Times: "I went on about 300 yards in front of my scouts. It was a pretty jumpy job. The enemy's trenches were about 950 yards from ours. I paced about 150 yards and then got down on my hands and knees and crept on for some way, expecting every moment to run into the German trenches. It was pretty black, and I could only see a few yards in front of me. I had a loaded re- • volve r and map with me. Every now and then I came across a dead German. Well, I couldn't think why I hadn't struck the trenches, so I went off on my left a bit. The stars had gone in and I was pretty well lost in the middle of this big plateau," ©F ©ANAIDA.

He was eldest son of John and Maria Rickard, Rickard, born in England 1841, came to this country with his parents. Soon after arrival they located on what was then known as the Louis Wilmot farm, west of Newcastle. Half of this farm was thickly wooded with beech and maple, here John grew into manhood, proving himself able and capable. John always wanted to be a farmer. Like other farmers' sons of those earlier days, he worked hard during summer summer months, and seized upon winter time to attend school and acquired a fairly good education. In 1867.his father, hav- re ing been successful, bought for a home Lot I in Darlington, and next year moved thereon, leaving John on Wilmot farm where, by well directed efforts of thrift, industry and economy, he proved even more successful than his father had been, and so much so that when the splendid 100 acre farm, known as Walls farm, in western Newcastle was offered for sale, he bought it and gave his cheque in full payment. Moving on this farm he set to work to improve it and planted and raised an apple orchard that for good and quick returns excelled any in this locality. About four years ago he retired, taking up his abode on Church-st. Some six years ago his health began to fail, and signs of kidney trouble became manifest. By careful dieting and strict observance of rules of health, he beat" back the grim reaper, and the past year appeared to improve, his friends thinking he might live for years. The end camé suddenly and unexpectedly. Three weeks before death he injured his hand and blood poisoning set in. Two days before death the doctors were hopeful, but he became worse but continued conscious to within a few hours of his death and expressed himself himself as quite ready to depart. He was at peace with God and very early Saturday morning fell into a calm and peaceful sleep. The funeral Monday afternoon to Bowmanville Cemetery was largely attended. attended. Rev. G. R. Clare, his pastor, assisted assisted by Rev. J. C. Wilson, Toronto, a tormer pastor, conducted the service. Pallbearers were three, brothers, James, George and Samuel, and Messrs. J. L. Powers, John Symons and John Wight. The family regretted the absence of his brother, William, in California for his health. His presence was much missed. On being advised of his brother's death William promptly replied : "I am sorely grieved over the death of my good and kind brother, John. My loss is very great. We were close companions for seventy years and we never had a quarrel. We should be of good cheer for he has exchanged exchanged great suffering here for sweet eternal rest and happiness in-heaven." Deceased was twice married; in. 1868 when he took the Wilmot farm he married married Christine Symons, eldest daughter , of of Jos. Symons, Hope. From this union there were born one son, who died in infancy, infancy, and one daughter, who lived four years. Wife and mother died too, hence John, still a comparatively young man, was a childless widower. After two years he married Martha, eldest daughter of the late H. L. Po wers, J.P., Kirby, and to them were born one son ana two daughters, one 'of the latter dying in childhood. Consequently Consequently he leaves to mourn him his beloved beloved wife,4)ne son, W, Franklin,"and one daughter, Iria, Mrs. Milton H. Wight, Providence; and four brothers, William.. citizen. In reviewing his life and. death a beaut ful character must be discerned, worthy oLimitation, an obedient son, a helpful and affectionate brother, a man strictly upright in all his dealings. He was very industrious, an early riser, making making good use of the mornings, strictly temperate and economical in all his habits, was given to thinking rather than talking, and generally manifesting good judgment, not a few often sought his counsel. He never speculated in uncertainties, never tried get-rich-quick games, but was content content with the small gfah^pf safe and sure dealing. He was of zrrmring disposit on, a créât lover of home, finding in it the sweetest pleasures of life. He never sought public office and had no desire to spend his time from his own surroundings. He was a Liberal in politics, and in re- 1 gion a life-long Method st. hiving taken Jesus Christ as h s own personal Saviour when a young man. All who enjoyed the pleasure of an intimate acqua'ntance with John Rickard must, in contemplating his whole life and charac er, say with the Psalmist : "Mark the perlect man and behold behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace." His voyage on earth's at an end, His mortal affliction is past; The age that in Heaven he'll spe d For ever a d ever shall last. Asthma no longer dreaded. T -îe dread of renewed attacks from asthma has no hold upon those who have learned to roly upon Dr. J D. Kellogg's Asllima Remedy. So safe do they feel that complete reliance.is.placed on this true specific with the certainty that it will always do a 1 that its makers claim.

'Present every day. • Elsie E. Rundle, feacher. Mr.iS. F. Hill, whose death took place Tan.. 16, was one of the oldest bandsmen in town. He was a mem" er of the firsthand in town of which anything is now known and we doubt if there was anything in the shape of any musical organization before his time. In 1855. there was organized what was called "Bowmanville Independent Independent Brass Band" with the following members members : Wm. Andrew, teacher, Wm. Col- lard, leader and first cornet, 1st alto horn, Wm. Dodds, 2ni alto, Thos. Johnston, 3rd alto, J. A. Johnston, baritone, John Wor- don, tenor horn; Thos. Tapson, tenor trombone (slide) S F. Hill, base trombone trombone (slide) Richard Peaté, B. bass, Joseph Andrew, E. bass, Joseph McLean, bass drum, Josiah Darlington, side drum, S. Klyser. In addition to the above, Samuel Robbins, a tenor horn player, came into the band shortly after it was formed but he died on Feb. 8th, 1865; also in that year or shortly afterwards Mr. J. W. Fletcher was made a member, playing a baritone, on which we understand he was quite proficient. proficient. We have no account of the uniform uniform used by this band, except thé caps, in these were worked in silk the letters I. B. B. which was most -artistically done by Miss E. Me Mur try. Mr. Joseph Andrews, Andrews, one of the members, was the father of Mr. R. B. Andrews formerly of the Big 20 here, but now the well known real estate dealer, Toronto; Mr. Wm. Andrews Andrews was an uncle-. Mr. Joseph fvi cLean was father-in-law of Mr. J. B. Mitchell, manager of the Dominion Organ & Piano Co., and at that time carried on the business business of dry goods and clothing JosiahDar- lington who was also related to the Andrews, Andrews, was a member of the firm of Darlington Darlington Bros., groce.s, King Street, where Mason's dry "goods store now stands, Richard Peate, the fashionable tailor of that period, did a fine trade on the site now occupied by McClellan & Co., and was much respected by all who knew him. Wm. Collard was a watch, maker and jeweler, in company with his brother, on the property now occupied by the Dingman millinery store. Mr. J. W. Fletcher, if we mistake not, was a. law clerk ip the office of Mr. Robe-, t Armour. Now of all these members we believe they have all passed the Great Div de. Mr. S. F. Hill being the last of the old Independent Independent Brass Band, which in its time was quite an acquisition to the doings . jn the old town. The practice room was in the Temperance House, better known later as Shaw's Hotel. If any of our older citizens can give any more information in reference to this we would like to have it, and we hope this may prove interesting to a few at any rate.--Bowmanville correspondent correspondent of Orono News. * gent on Salisbury Plain. . Statements Statements have been . publfstied from time, to time, lîïore especially during during tlie past two weeks, that a very large proportion of the Canadian troops were in hospital and that the- percéntage of those sick was very high. Fortunately this is not the case, as will be seen from the following following statement recently issued by Colonel Hod'getts, commissioner foi\ the Canadian Red Cross Society in England, who says :-- "To re-assure the public on the^ health of the contingent the total' general illness since January 6 (the statement was issued on Januàry 13) was 3.6 per cent. Only twenty cases of cerebro spinal meningitis since landing with fourteen deaths. general diseases there were 11 cases of pneumonia, 101 of influenza, influenza, four of diphtheria, two of measles, measles, two of scarlet fever, and one of typhoid." \ When it is considered that over 30,000 soldiers have been encamped at Salisbury Plain for the past four months, these eases of sickness 1 are not excessive by any means, especially especially when it is to be remembered that the worst kind of weather ha-s existed for a great part ôf the time. One of the finest country houses in England, Cliveden House, which is situated on the banks of the Thames, has 'been handed over to the Red Cross Society by Major W. W. Astor, M.P., and structural alterations alterations are now being made in order order that this palatial residence may he used as a hospital which bears the name of the Duchess of Connaught. Connaught. Tapi ow Lodge, which stands in its own grounds at the cnti'ance to the main drive, has been handed over by the tenants to Major Astor, and the officer-commanding officer-commanding and his staff arc now quartered quartered there. Owing to the fact that the boxes containing Christmas presents did not arrive from Canada in time to be distributed on Christmas Day. a large assortment of pipes, tobacco and cigarettes were selected from the stores' and handed out to the sick men under tlie personal supervision supervision of Captain Blake. Owing to the terrible state of the roads at Salisbury Plain the difficulties at- Red Cross in England, who sent 400 mufflers to be distributed among the members of the Princess Patricia Patricia Canadian Light Infantry. This battalion has already received its first baptism of fire, and there is no doubt but that these comforts will be greatly appreciated by the men in the {arduous duties that they are. now called upon to undertake. The wave of patriotism which has swept both east and west has reached reached Lacombe, Alberta, for the women women of that district are working 'heroically, preparing comforts for the men at- tjie front and for those of our Canadian soldiers who will soon take their place in the battle line. Quantities of both goods and money are being forwarded througn the Lacombe branch of the Red Cross Society, and the farmers u the district have subscribed sufficient sufficient money to purchase a car-load of flour, .which is now on the way to Montreal, consigned to the Belgian Belgian consul in that city. Miss Vivian Tremaine, nursing sister, A.M.C., who with others is busy organizing hospitals at Salisbury Salisbury Plain, has recently written as follows :--"Please tell any of the dear people who send Red Cross things that they will never know what a blessing the things they have made are. Some of them have been issued to us, and every. hing is useful useful and just what is needed. They cannot make too many handkerchiefs. handkerchiefs. night shirts, pyjamas, bands, etc. We are taking great care ' them ; they are valuable, I can toil you."

There are two matters of great importance in connection with the work now 'being carried on by the Red Cross Society that should be brought before, the notice of the public. During the past few weeks there have been statements in the press that some of"the comforts and ambulance supplies sent out by the society have fallen into the handsof the enemy and found their way into into the Red Cross department of the German army. Needless to say, these reports, that no doubt emanated emanated from German sources, are entirely false, and the central council council of the Canadian Red Cross S.o-1 ciety desires to make it, known that ; all parcels and articles which have been forwarded by them to England, England, or by the- National Committee of Women for. Patriotic Service through the Society have been sent by British vessels from Quebec and Halifax, a-ndythatoo shipm^nfs -have been made, through American ports.
