Making of Shade Rollers, When .I Hved in Toronto I went to the Stewart Hartshorne Company, situated on River street, where the -- shade rollers are manufactured. 1 will try to describe the different stages of manufacture. The factory receives pine sticks, rough sawed, from two to three feet long and one $0 ome 4nd a half inches square, They are put on steel trucks in square piles, eight feet high and about one inph apart. They are then put in the dry kiln. This dry kiin is heated with steam from the boiler, pipes being Jadd over the bottom of the kiln. The temperature is kept between 100 and 120 degrees. They are left for a few days till they are dried. As the dry ones are used others are put in + thelr places. One kiln holds about Sifty truck loads. They are then, put through machines called stickers, one at a time, coming out perfectly round, Then they are takem to the boring machines and the holés are bored in ome end to receive the springs. They are then sawed in the different Then there is the spring room where the spiral springs are made that operate the rollers. Thoy are then taken to another part of the factory where the springs are put in. The caps are them put on the end to attach to the brackets in the window. They are then bored and sent. to another factory where the- shade is attached. There are a great number of ma- chines to which pipes are attached, all leading to one galvanized pipe, four feet in diameter, through which a suction fan sucks all the shavings t6 the boiler for fuel which at most - thmes is sufficient to keep up steam se take on flesh more rapidly.

As 1 drew 'mearer I overheard some of their conversation but I couldn't help noticing the contrast between the two, one showed every 'mark of great wealth the other ex- treme poverty. The man was asking him why he didn't get work and he was saying that he had tried apd . tried but ¢ouldn't get any. "What kind of work can you do?" said the man. "I am willing to do any thing but education as my fa- ther died when I was only three years old. 'His business had failed 'shortly before his death and we were left poor.

"J Can't." Not very far from here lives a lit- tle girl called Polly. She has a very bad habit of always answering "I Can't" when spoken to. On Polly's birthday she. received many presents among which was a parrot. She spends most of her time playing with it. This parrot is very shy in his 'new home and will not speak. Nevertheless he has learnt the two ugly words. "I can't" from Polly. Polly is always trying to make him speak but he will not, One day while Polly was coaxing him to speak he. answered. "I Can't" Polly was very much disappointed when she heard this everybody started to laugh ex- cept the sad child who TYelt like ery- ing. From that day never was she heard to utter those words which before Knott, age 10 years, Junior Third, St. Mary's School, ~~ Central School. & A Very Pleasant Hour, On Friday afternoon we had an ex- cellent concert instead of a Valentine box, but I think a concert was nicer. Sydney Fleet was the chairman. Ma- rion Donoghue, Florence Mcliroy and Ruby Morris sang songs, Katie Ryan sang a very nice hymn, first in Eng- lish, and then in Hebrew. All the girls sang a song, "Bonnie Prince Charlie." Recitations re given by Hazel O'Grady, Ora Christmas, Phyl- lis Harvey, and Sydney Fléet. The teacher gave a reading, which we en- joyed very much, from '"The Birds' Christmas Carol."---Dorothy Scriver, Junior Third. "The Restoration" 1660, The Stuart line of kings was res- tored to the throne of England in the person of Charles IL. Immediately the spirit of the people was anged. During the stern rule of Cromwell the power of the Parliament and the people had slumbered. But now the, power of the Parliament was restor- ed. The churches now had stained- glass windows, bishops, and prayer- books. Pleasures and amusements of all sorts sprang into life again. Among these was the re-opening of the theatres. Holidays of all kinds were celebrated joyously. 'This is what is usually known as the Restor- ation. --Lols Valleau, Senior Fourth. Beaver, : A beaver is pot a very large ani- mal. I have seen one weigh 30 Ibs. Its color is dark brown.

When a beaver cuts a tree he cuts it so as it will fall to- + ward thle water. When a beaver cuts a tree he stands on his two hind legs. When the tree falls he cuts al] the bfanches off and takes them to the river. Then 'he comes back and cuts the tree trunk into lengths.: They are also taken to the river or stream. These are all floated to. where the beaver is building the dam. The beaver dam is built across a stream or a river to hold back the water, Often if there is a road near the bank of the river it is flooded out. This dam is built of the trees which he cuts down. A man cannot put any of the sticks out they are wedged in so tight. The lumbermen sometimes have to blow the dam out. There is also another beaver which is called the bank beaver. He is the lazy one and the others will not let him live with them. So therefore he is put out and he Is so lazy he will not build a house for aimself he just digs a hole in the bank. Therefore he is called the bank beaver.--Mildred Fraser, senior third. A Snow Ball Match. On Friday, Feb. 13th, 1920, the teachers of 'our school allowed us to have a snowball match during recess. The Sr. III and, the Sr, IV classes were to be against the Jr. III and the Jr. IV, but the Jr. IV were trying an examination so they could not come out, Then the Sr. and Jr. III stood the Sr. IV but that was not fair because the Sr. IV was outnumbered three to one. So some of the Sr. III class came to the Sg. IV side. Then the snow balls came thick and fast and we certainly had some fun. There was no rough playing because there were four teachers out watch- ing us. l.enjoyed it very much and I think the rest did too.--C, Leather- land. Senior Fourth. The Farmer and the Brownie. A farmer resolved to move away from his house. He was troubled with a bad brownie. "So you are moving," said his neighbors to him. The brownie had hid in the furni- ture. The farmer piled all his house- hold goods on a great van, and was ready to start off. "Yes" said a little voice from the churn in the middle of the load, "We are all moving." There was no use moving after that. --Ethel Watts, age 13 years old Cen- tral school. . r-------- A Valentine Received By a Teacher.

Good-bye dear Teacher I wish you joy, An Essay Competition, As promised somq time ago, the School Editor is now able to an- nounce an éssay writing competitiop. for the children. In order to make It possible for all the scholars to enter, the competition will be di- vided into four different classes. The same subject will be set for all classes, and the ages of the children will be taken into consideration in Judging the essays. The four classes are as follows: , Class 1.--Children under ten years. Class II.--Children from ten to twelve, Class III.----Ohildren from twelve to fourteen. Class IV.--~--Collegiate and Notre Dame Convents students over 14, There will be two prizes in each class for the best essays. The subs. ject of the essay is one which will give the children every scope for their own ideas. It is "How BEduca- tion Could be Improved." The School Editor has chosen this sub- ject because he feels it will be of great interest to the teachers =nd principals and to the Kingston Board of Education to know just what the children think of the pre- sent educational methods, and to have their ideas on how théy could be improved. The essays must be the unaided work of the scholars, and must not exceed 250 words in length for classes 1. to III, or 500 words for class IV.. The prize-win- ning essays in each class will be pub- 'lished in the School British Whig, as well as any others of mer!

S times it is shaped like a bar and some- times like a spring. Now brass is mare sensitive to heat t steel is, and, when the beat rises, the brass side expands faster than the steel and causes the bar or spring to twist toward the steel side. In the diagram here, the bar (C) moves toward A. When the temperature falls, the brass shrinks faster and pulls the bar toward its side; or toward B. ; "In the thermostat that runs our fur- nace, A and B 'are. electrical contacts with wires running to the basement When the temperature falls and C touches B, it closes a circuit which through magnets, releases a weight- motor that opens the furnace draft.
