Every country is anxious to develop a rural ilfe which corresponds to urban life in opportunity and privilege, and the rural school lies at the basis of the problem, "Progress of Rural Education, 1925 and 1926," United States Bureau of Educatior Bulletin, 1927, No. 15 (Washington D.C., Superintendent of Documents, 10c.) is an informirfg pamphlet of 46 pages dealing with this question and noting what has been done in the United States during the past Consolidated Schools The most significant fact in American school reorganization has been the movement for the consolidation of rural schools. The growth in these consolidations continues at about 1,000 schools per year. In almost every State the number of one-teacher schools diminishes every year. Illinois, Iowa, New York, and Pennsylvania have still more than 8,000 one-teacher schools in each State. Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri and Wisconsin have more than 7,000 each. In other words, in eight of the more progressive States a large percentage of rural children still attend these one-teacher schools, while in nine other States The one-teacher school ministers only a few of the rural children. These are significant facts, and should be given very serious consideration by Til Canadian parents and trustees in rural districts, for the 1,600 consolidated schools in the United States represent a real prTwer in publi opinion. Transportation Improvement in quality and extent of pupil transportation has kept pace with the centralization mlover itself. The amount of money spent for transportation during the bien-nium exceeds previous records. An r.ual expenditure in the 48 States no<v exceeds $30,000,000. A fourth of the States spend more than $1,000,000 each annually in transportating children to chools. In Indiana this item of the school budget exceeded $3,-000.000 during each of the last two years. Generally, there is more care in planning transportation systems for safety and economy, in preparing budgets, and recording performances with the idea of improving the service than ever before. States which contribute from State funds specifically toward transportation now are: The New England States, New York. Pennsylvania, Delaware, North Carolina, Texas, Michigan. Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin. Nearly all States contribute indirectly from State funds toward this generally necessary accomplishment of consolidation.

A writ has been issued against the corporation of the town of Cobourg by E. E. Lightburn in connection with the refusal of the town to issue a building permit for a service station at the coroner of King and MeGill Streets. He asks for the rent he would receive from the property as a service station, at the rate of $50 a month, for the time he is kept out of occupancy of such. Business, he states, has been carired on next door to the proposed service station for fifty years, and he feels that the council is discriminating against him in refusing to issue the permit' for a service station. Mr. D. H. Chisholm, K.C.. of Port Hope, is acting for the plaintiff.--Sentinel-Star.

Their Excellencies Make Friends in Banff e place visited by Viscount Willingdon, Governor-General of Canada, and Lady Willingdon, was Banff, Alberta, in the Canadian Rockies, famous for the beauty of its scenery and the hospitality afforded by the Banff Springs Hotel, one of the most imposing and beautiful buildings of its kind on the \prth American Continent which is shown lower left. As a record of their visit the accompanying unusual iihotographs were taken by kind permission of Their Excellencies.; They show Lord and Lady Willingdon each in turn feeding a massive specimen of Buffalo Bull who spends his lordly leisure in the Buffalo Park at Banff, another of the great attractions of the town. Furred to his hooves, the monster animal, like a survival from some pre-historic period, gently and calmly takes his meals from the hands of his distinguished hosts. Another photograph shows Her Excellency feeding a baby buffalo by hand, while yet another gives us Their Excellencies at a point of vantage on the top of one of the corrals at the Banff Park. Lady Willingdon is seated at her ease, but His Lordship has climbed to the very top of the corral and both are enjoying the view from this unusual position. It is safe to assume that Their Excellencies will treasure these photographs as a record of a visit which, although part of an official tour, was not in this case altogether as austere as such tours are apt to be. Is Ironing Hard Work? If you have to stand over a hot stove, heating old-fashioned sad-irons, and walk backwards and forwards between the stove and your ironing board, it uat doubtedly is.
