The Macmillan Company of Canada, Toronto, publishers. - This modest little volume from the \pen of a Toronto journalist is the first a-hew and important series of books dealing with the outstanding men in Canadian history, The series will be known as the "Canadian Men of Action" series and aims to do for Canadian history what Macmillan's "English Men of Action" series has, done for English history. © The press , ent volume s been carefully pre- pared, and sets forth with conciseness the saliet points in.the career of this soldier-statesman. The , mains out- "lings of Brock's life are familiar to " most readers. 'He was born in the Channel Islands in1769. In 1802 he was sent to Canada with his regiment, the 49th, and durisig the ten years that followed did much to smooth the ath of the soldiers talggn from their fmes to serve in the wilderness. He - sensed the coming cotiflict with the United States, and the part he took in the war is admirably tokd, "It is not too much to say," re marks the author, "that Brock's part in the war of 1812-1814 made what is now the Dominion of Canada for the British Empire, Th ten short years in Canada Brock accomplished much, for. while he lost his life but four months after war was declared, it was his action, and, after, his spirit, which animated the defence of his adopted country against invasion. In consid erifig him and' the noble part he play- ed we may well contrast this man of action" with another, who drew , his sword three years ago, not that he might help to establish peace, but for his own selfish end of vainglory. Brock, like thousands of Canadians to-day, fought for honor-and that his country might be free. The spirit of Brock animates Canada to-day and 'the brave live on." Includéd in the book are the procla- mations issued to the people of Can. ada by the two leaders, General Hull and General Brock. : CAN ENGLAND'S CHURCH WIN ENGLAND'S MANHOOD? By an Army Chaplain, Price, 40c. The Mac Company, Toronto, Ts, ' et Bit of this great war have opened the eyes of the churches to the great extent of their failire to reach the masses of the manhood of the nation. Army chaplains, coming into daily, contact with thousands of all types of men, have -seen just how far short the appeal of the Church has fallen. So, by réquest of the ight Rev. Bishop Gwynne, an army chaplain of high standing has com- iled his observations in this book, ust published. The writer, having studied the question by pemsonal ob. servations, and after due®™onsidera: tion of the views of other chaplains, lays bis finger upon the weak spot in the appeal of the churches, and points the way to a remedy. The book is not 'written with the itention te criti- cise the church or the clergy. The writer admits. that churchmen of standing have been to blame for the Failure of the churches to lay a great "hold. upon the men of to-day. But he does. not da so with the object of tondemning them.: The object is solely that.dlie. Church at home should be.

OTE fvision of grave danger and glorious opportunity which has come to the clergy in the privileged positions as army chaplains, and that all energies ual life and healthy development for Britain's splendnd soldiers and mau- hood generally. The main essay in the book is sup- plemented by a number of letters from army chaplains, all adding momentum to the appeal to the Church to recon- strict its organization so as to meet the needs of men. The whole volume is wn eloquent testimony to the cour- age and splendid qualifles of .our sol- diers at the front. The authdr points out how they go forth to suffer and to die with thrilling heroism. He ap~ peals to his fellow chiirchmen to face the fact that these then have no real interest in the Church afd in religion, and points out to them the rpad which must be followed if they are ever to be brought definitely inte the Church. The book is of vital interest~to all Christian people, for the question is oney which concerns every' Christian worker. The truths contained in it are strikihg, and are driven home defi- nitely and with clearness. The book closes with a remarkable poem enti- tled "C. of E" by Captain RS. T. Cochrane, which illustrates the whole theme' of ghe contents. To all who are interested in the problems of re- volume has a special appeal, for it touches upon the secret of the saving of the manhood of the nation for the Church, Although small in size, it has a big purpose, and should be very widely read. OPEN-AIR SCHOOLS. By Neil S. MacDonald, D.Paed, 127 pages. McClelland, Goodchild & Stewart, Toronto, publishers. An improvement in the educational system of the country is foreshadowed by the appearance of this book, inas- much as it shows that the teachers and educators have the problem very much at heart. Dr. MacDonald deals fully with the open-air school idea and its development. The open-air school is regarded as a compromise between the educationist and déctar. A supply of fresh air is given as much | weight as a method in arithmetic or reading. It is a recurrence to an- cient 'customs, which the advance -of civilization had changed from outdoor to indoor teaching, Comenius, Eras- mus, Bacon, Locke, Rousseau, Pesta- lozzi and Froebel all advecated the outdoor system. : Tle first school of this kind in Can- ada was opened in 1910 on the grounds of the Hospital for Sick Children, To- ronto. Hamilton opened a school in the same year, and Montreal followed it 1912. The first forest school was opened by the Toronto Board of Edy- cation at Victoria Park in May, 1913, and another followed in July, 1914. These schools accommodate 1 pu- pils each. The children are divided to four classes: those who have had tuberculosis, those in whose homes the disease) existed, those who had a hereditary tendency to the disease, and those who were anaemic, ill-nous- ished, or had poor home conditions. The results obtained were very satis- factory, Full' details of the methods are given by the author, and the vol- tme constitutes a valuable guide to the whole subject. The Whig is in- debted to Queen's University Library for a copy of this book. which, it is 'town, andyexemplify the dwelling to- gether In unity? Reports are current of some soc- lal scandal within the week, and some people are trying their utmost to secure the details which are be- jug closely kept. Kingston can boast of many things, but it_pever eeems to enthuse over soldier parades as it does over a baseball or football contest. The people are altogether too sedate. If they had only a litle more Yankee brag and wind it would be better.: From all reports the Ainerican troops Wére not as enthusiastically welcomed or as hospitably entertain- ed last week-end as Uncle Sam's Boys have been when they visited here on other occasions. . Perhaps the city was not to blame, for it was not Kingston's -"'blow-out,"" but it would be well if the cific authori- ties in future see to it. that when American troops are invited here the People as a whole have a share in the entertainment. : '--THE TOWN WATCHMAN.

PA AA A scsi b union has paid mortuary benefits amounting to $312,400. The total expense for the maintenance and for Improvements at the Union Printers Home at Colorado Springs last year was $167,600. This union has invested $30,000 in each of the three Liberty Loans $90,000 in all. Our subordinate or ganizations and individual members have invested more than $3,000,000 in these securities. Our strike expenses for the past twelve months were but $1,237.

It can be pected thén, that in any discussion f England during the great war, there must be some reference to the estate which takes up the thoughts of other nations to such a great extent. Unfortunately for your anticipations, however, the House of Lords is not occupying that position of promi- nence which its name and compasi- tion would seem to indicate. On the contrary, it is quite a subdued body. It occupies less space in the papers than the House of Commons and its 670 members, with the accent on the Labor members; and there is every indfcation that it will occupy still less when 670 have increased to-707. The Lord Mayor of London and the aldermen are more pitiless in their search for publicity than the peerage. Even the church is competing with Labor for Jimelight and its charities are omnipresent and omniscient. Be. tween them all the House of Lords is very modest indeed, But as the advertising slogan goes, there is a reason. The peerage is fighting for its country. The House of ' Commons, pardon for saying it, is fighting for re-election. Of course, there are a few lords nnt fighting for their country, .but they have been engaged in discussing such momentous topics as indus- trial unrest, conscientious objectors, bours and health of munition workers, Lincoln statue, woman suf- frage, votes of peers, cost of food control, ete., ete. Their real inter- est, however, has been and is with their country and their families, and trying to do all in their power to win the war without talking about it. Glancing over the roll of honor of those -who have made the supreme sacrifice during 1917, the following is an analysis: 1 member of the royal family. 21 peers. 149 sons of peers. : The Baronies of Kesteven and of Llangattock have --become extinct.

If there is no demand locally, the information should be supplied to this Depart- ment, or to the Local Office of this Department in your County, so that every effort may be made to have an equitable and satisfactory dis- tribution. The-need for foodstuffs 'justifies a large acreage of Fall wheat in this Province again this year, and the co-operation of the farmers in the mobilization and distribution of the avail able seed supplies is invited.
