Why should our fine school building and spacious grounds iie idle for two months while scores of children roam the streets learning more evil habits, manners and language than their teachers will get them to unlearn the rest 'of the year ? One teacher engaged as supervisor supervisor and director duringthe.se months could relieve parents of much anxiety and do the children untold good in different different ways. If Brockville can do this very thing why not Bowmanville and other towns ? Who will give us account account of actual operations in schools ?

And this Province cannot act too quickly. We rejoice what western provinces have they put us in this older shame. Mr. Rowell's proposals are as follows; ,. 1 ' .Let the Ontario Government close all drinking places by legislative action, for example, as the Government of Saskatchewan Saskatchewan has dene. 2. Failing this, lei the Government at least give the people of Ontario the opportunity opportunity to say themselves whether or not they do want the liquor traffic abolished abolished as the people of Alberta have done. 3 ; Let the Government act quickly by giving the people a chance to vote on the question at thé same time as the next Municipal elections. It could call the House to sit in November and the necessary necessary legislation could be passed. Now is the time for Messrs.

The local officers of the 46th Durham Regiment report that during the past ten days thirteen men have enlisted at Bowmanville for Overseas Overseas service. This makes a total of 140 men from Bowmanville which is an exceptionally exceptionally good record when you consider consider that the entire district covered by the 46th Regt. has contributed 357 men. In conversation with Maj. Farrell in Port Hope on Friday he reported recruiting activities as being very satisfactory. The above does not include the 30 or more men who have enlisted with the cavalry or mounted infantry from this district which would bring the total to about 170 men.. The greater majority of these men are unmarried as the local branch of the Canadian Patriotic Fund is at present pay- ing monthly allowances to only nine wives and mothers of these men as well as seventeen children, all residing in Bowmanville. Bowmanville. Were it not for such a fund as this soriae of these families would be almost almost destitute. In another column a statement of receipts receipts and expenditures of the fund is given. It is well to note that of the $1190.15 paid by the citizens of this town towards this fund the local officers have only paid out $3 for running expenses. ~FW ^ P ° 1Iai ' d ' Helen Ma< Florence Edsall, Rilda SlemoiV Cryderman, Ethel VanNest, PoweiN Florence Mayer, Mary r.

What happened after the South African War furneshes sufficient plea for urgency and the necessity of beginning to organize at once. The solution can only be found by opening the doors of the Empire. It would be a most discreditable thing that men who have in manv cases, given up everything and risked their lives for the State, should be left to fall among thieves once the State, has no further need of their military service.
