Brig.-Gen, W. 8. Hughes, D.S.0. the first commanding oiticer of the junit, acted as toastmaster. "The King" was followed by the toast to 'Our Fallen Comrades." Major (Rev.) W. E. Kidd, M.C., in propos- ing it, spoke feelingly of the memory of those comrades whose remains ROW rest in honored graves in France and Belgium. Those 'present had the proud distinction of belonging to a battalion which had been, in every push, and 'which had taken its part 80 gloriously in all of them. Those who remained in France and Belgium {were the ones who in the providence {of God had made the great sacrifice and had given them the glory and distinction which had always been associated with the 21st Battalion. Men of all ranks had falien, from the private to the commanding offi- cer (the lite Lieut.-Col. Elmer W. Jones, D.8.0.). The chaplain of the battalion referred to the deep feel- ing of the surviving members of tha unitfor the relatives of those of their comrades who did not or will never return from the war zone. So, with the thought of those who had so nobly lived and: died, the company responded to the toast by standing for one minute in silence. : General Hughes gave an excellent address in reply to the toast of "The anadian Corps," proposed by Capt. F. K. Ludlow, M.C. After ng of the achievements of the crops, the first "C.0." of the Twenty-first gave a resume of the exploits' and sue- of his own unit. ith a view of centralization, it was decided that the executive of to of ex-members of are located in the city or town where the assembly is to be held for that year. and that a general committee be selected by the executive from districts in the areas from which the Twenty-first was re- year, be co t cruited and reinforced.

Kingston, Nov. 13.-- (To the Editor): That man who said "Give me the making of a nation's songs. and T care not who makes its laws" ! is a man of intelligent judgment; he could see into the heart of things: his was not a superficial insight he looked and could see below the sur- face. The nation orleity that can neglect | this art fails in developing one of {the greatest influences for good of | which the human soul is capable; de- velop it and you have a nation whose tender sympathy and help can sure- ly depended upon for glmost any kind of work that calls for the best that is in mankind. . The tuneful in- stinet in a child tends to soften an otherwise hard and unaloveable na- ture and helps to force to the front everything that is good and pure in the child. In order that the child may have the advantage of training, as many of the teachers do not pretend to sing, it will be necessary to appoint a supervisor of singing in the schools, and ope of the first necessities to success is to place & plano in every school in the city, be that school large or small. It id not necessary that high priced instruments should be purchased, a good second hand plano at' comparatively small cost, it kept in tune, that will answer every purpose can be purchased. The money thus spent, would, in my humble opinion, prove the best in- vestment the "city could make and be in the end as beneficial for the after life of the child as any of the three R's that we pay so much at- tention to in all our sehools. : Twenty years ago ¢ rs were fairly plantitul in this city. Today if you ask those who are conducting choirs they will tell you it is next to any male singers. This scarcity may ve largely attributed to the lack of training in the schools.--J.
