With this issue this column will be discontinued until the reopening of the schools in September. I may be fitting to quote a pronouncement of a former statesman and a former educationalist in Ontario as showing the Iwterest taken in schools at an early date In this province. In 1816 just after ithe close of the War of 1812, His Excellency Si'r Francis Gore in a sipeeoh flrom the throne at the opening of the Legislature in that year made iu»e of these womdls, "The District Schools instituted by law in 1807 and admirably fitted as a step between elementary schools and a seminary for the higher branches of education will not. without further aid produce .sufficient advantage to thie youth of this province. Th© dis-«<>m,inaifion of letters is of the first importance to eveiry class, and to aid in so desirable an object, no attention shall he wanting on my part to second, iand to crainry into effect, the result of your deliberation on this important subject. In the annual report of the Board of Education for Uppen Canada, for 1829 the President, Rev. Dr. Straehan. summarised his views on education in this oonicludnng paragraph, "Neith-eir the sick no>r itlhe destitute have higher claims upon the public than the ignorant. The want of knowledge brings all other wants in its lira in and. if education be regarded as- a ■charity, it is a ebairity of which the blessings ane without alloy. It demands no jealous scrutiny of the claims of its applicants, nor does it require to be so stinted as not to multiply their number. The obligations, therefore, which rest upon every Christian government to promote this great interest are sufficiently obvious and imposing. While Christian virtue is the first distinotion among men. useful knowledge is the second." The short story is a form of literature that is characteristic of the present day. We have all read a short story, but not many of us have consciously compared its form' with other literary forms. This subject was suggested by a discussion carried on by a group of successful writers. The main topic of their discussion was the method of procedure in writing a short story. Does one waite for inspiration, or does one codk an attentive eye on the editor and grind out so many words pea-hour? The argument was an interesting one. The final impression to be*' gained was that the inspired author reaped great sa*isfaction from his work, and that the editor-eying writer gathered in the sheckels.

THE COLBORNE EXPRESS After hearing a discussion of this kind, one begins to wonder exactly what a 'short story' is. The criterion of the numiber of words is sometimes applied to it. A few years ago. a magazine story was five or six thousand words long. To-day, the editors j said to prefer one that has between two and four thousand words. This method of settling the question however, too mechanical. The i short story has a 'peculiar style that regardless of its length, sets it apart from the novel or the incident. To begin with, a real 'short story' has one main plot. All parts of the story are concerned with the development of that one course of action, and no extraneous materials allowed to enter. The author is striving to create one strong impression, and he ruthlessly cuts out anything, no matter how interesting it may be, that might detract from that one predominant impression. The novel is a much looser form, in which the author permits himself to develop subordinate plots along with the central plot. There is a second important way in which the novel and the short story differ. In the novel, the characters are usually developed so that the reade- is able to see a steady growth in the people about whom he is reading. In the short story, the character is static. The reactions of the person to some one situation . shown. With1 these two ideas regarding the short story, it is possible to venture a definition. Wle may say that a short story is a verbal representation of a single unit of experience. In what way is the short story especially characteristic of the present-day world? It has been developed most fully during the last thirty years, and therefore has suited itself to modern taste. In the first place, it is short enough to be read at a sitting, and our generation has been accused of want of patience and perseverance. (But what of "Anthony Adverse'" and "Gone With the Wind?") The short story subordinates all unnecessary details. May we, as a generation, flatter ourselves that we care only for essentials and disregard the unimportant ? Lastly, the short story has been used in the development of many magazines, the underlying purpose of which is the presentation of the advertisements to the reading puMic. It Is possible that this part of our literature has Ibecome subservient to a desire to make money? Farm and Home Week Farmers amd their families from all pants of Ontario will be congregating next week at Guelph for the annual O.A.C. Farm and Home Week which is being held from June 20ith to 24th. An interesting program is being provided for their entertainment and it is expected' that a record crowd! will he on hand to enjoy it. W. F. GRIFFIS Your Druggist We Deliver Rexall Syrup of Figs Modern Plumbing Brings Comfort to Country Homes j Modern plumbing and more rigid standards of qualifications in the plumbing trade has contributed a great deal to better public health and a higher standard of living comfort in Canada, says the Canadian Institute of Pluimlhing and Heating. Due to improvements in production methods and mare economical merchandi.-ins. high class plumbing fixtures cost a great deal less 'to-day than was' possible for the same quality of equipment no(t iso many years ago. This fact, together with the advantageous financing terms of the! Home Imiprove-nrent Plan, has enabled thousands of Canadian home owners to modernize their dwellings in. regard to the vital snces oif bajthroom, kitchen and heating TjDawt. Owners of summer homes and cottages are taking advantage of the same oppurtunlitias to provide the | conveniences which means so much to everyday health andi happiness. Cfc-imlpletei unfits' of (bath, lavatory and closet, especially designed Ifor the requiremenlts of farm, and summer homes are available togeithetr wftth necessary accessories for operation, j The moderately priced but highly efficient septic tank units now on the market provide the comfort or urban sewerage disposal and Very much more healthy conditions than the very primitive alternatives'. Efficiently designed pumping systems' provide runming water and enable the uise of range bolilens to heat waiter with the same convenience as in city homes'. Country homes equipped with electricity may instal am inexpens>-tve electric pumping unit, bringing water from the well at the turn of a faucet, faucet. With the variety of equipment available to-day, country homes may enjoy all the conveniences formerly restricted to 'the cities. However in equipping a country home, the Insitftaite suggests consultation of a relaible pllutmlbing contractor. "Bargain's" in unheaiWhy and unsanitary second-hand fixtures should be avoided! in the interests of health and efficiency. No saving in money can possiibly compensate for the possibility of infection that may reside in cracked or otherwise defective used plumbing equipment. Further, in order to guard against the danger of water pollution, it is important that the installation of fixtures, as well ats the arrangement of the septic (tank and drainage area be done under the supervision of an expert plumber.

Charges Province Avoids Duty Cobourg, June '13.--Charging that the Provincial Government was foisting upon the Counties of NontJhum-bebrland and Dunham the task caring for patients in the House of Refuge who were not up to par r tally, Reeve G. A. Edimonsitone of Bowmanville told the opening sion of Counties Council Monday afternoon that some action should be taken to remedy matters. "Fifty per oemlt of the people in the House of Refuge here should be under Brovincal care," asseated Reeve Bdimonstone. "Two were up to Whitfby and the Ontario Hospital there sent them balck as being all right. The .point is that they a not alright, ante", with such ipaaple there is always thie danger that they mSght out lose and be violent. It is unfortunate that people who have lost all their worldly posess'ions and1 come to the House of Refuge to be looked after should have to mingle with people who are mentally de" ' enlt. Wie should get two doctors to exaimine such people and if they aire found unlbalanoed send them to the Ontario Hospital." Warden Frank George commented that the House of Refuge should not be a go-between for the Ontario Hos*-pital and! the municipality.
