BOWMANVUXE, AUG. 10, 1S16 MIDDLE SCHOOL EXAMS. Those, candidates of Bowman ville High School successfully passed the Middle School exams for entrance to Normal schools: W. J. Langmaid Thos. A. Norton Robt. R. Parker Catherine E. Wamica. This examination is proving a puzzler to teachers and students. While, double double the number passed here over last year the failures have been several. A high school teacher of many years experience remarked in Toronto that he had never known such a percentage of failures in Middle School work. We have heard serious complaints of the Algebra paper which though not a really difficult paper in character is altogether altogether too. long. Physics may always always be termed a hard subject espec- iolly for girls, and Chemistry is often a stickler especially in schools with poor equipment. We do not know what course was adopted regarding these fairly difficult subjects this year, but we sincerely think that some, allowance allowance should have been made in at least one or two of these subjects for reasons we have suggested. It is fcoo bad for teachers and candidates candidates to pluck the students without GOING ON TREK Arrangements are now being completed for 235 th Battallion to make a 6 weeks' trek thru the counties of Northumberland aud Durham, leaving -headquarters at Bowmanville about Sept 1st.

ODE ON SCUGOG LAKE A Midsummer Nights' Dream By Andrew Montgomery, Enniskillen One night on Scugog's banks I lay, close to the pebbled shore Far from the land that gave me birth the land I still adore While musing there on by-gone years, in contemplation deep My eyelids closed, I knew no more, 'till wrapt in balmy sleep I fancied that on ocean's breast I faced the morning sun And e er two weeks had run their course, course, I found myself at home And saw once more my native hills all decked in lovely green. Rich valleys too long lost to view* where happy days I've seen conservately oasecr'. T he pro-1 nts being earned are very much greater than the profits distributed, and yet the dividends that have been and are being I paid give very remunerative yield on the I basis of present prices".

In a lengthy article in the Toronto Daily News recently, Professor Swanson of Queen's University dealt most thoroughly thoroughly with the question of agricultural development and land settlement. He referred to the problems which will arise after the war with the return of the soldiers and the break-up of munition plants. The professor pointed out that the great obstacle to the rapid settlement of New Ontario lay in the lack of capital. Settlers must be provided with capital, even to induce them to accept free land grants. Sir Edmund Walker, President of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, has pointed opt that "banks.are expressly and deliberately deliberately prohibited from so doing (making long term loans to farmers) since, by their very nature, their assets must be in liquid form." In the face of this authority the responsibility for the farmers of Ontario Ontario getting the financial assistance they require seems to more than ever devolve on the government at Toronto. Legisla tion has been enacted with the object of providing governmental assistance; but Professor Swason remarks, "as yet little' or nothing in a practical way, has been attempted under this legislation." Much cepends upon the financial help rendered to the farming community to secure secure Ontario's future prosperity. It is not enough for the government to pass egislation presumably to avert suspicion rom its actual inactivity; the agricultural ists of the province are demanding that vigorous action be taken to aid them in developing the agricultural resources of the province, which represent the basic mdustiy of the country. The great fire in Northern Ontario calls for immediate action on the* part of he government, not only to provide relief relief Jor the sufferers, but to put forth ef- forts to meet the problem of fire protetion and furnish monetary assistance for the thorough opening up and development of this expansive and fertile region.
