The club players, of the local branch of the Great War Veterans' Association, presented "'The Mon- key's Paw," a one-act play, in three scenes, and "The Jublles Minstrels," very entertaining: amusements, at the club rooms on Tuesday night, | versity, for the members and their friends. | "~~ | The hall was crowded and both at- | League of Natio tractions were very enjoyable, and produced in a manner creditable to professionals, i "The Monkey's Paw' was very entertaining -and amusing, the play | centering around™the withered paw | of a monkey, which was supposed to be a great charm and possessed of supernatural powers. Mr. J. W. Connors, as Sergt.-Major Morris, who returning from a trip through India possessed the great charm, | played his role to perfection. Fear- ing evils of the monkey's paw, Sgt.- Major Morris presented -it to a friends. Mr. White, played by Mr. Charles Hicks, who took advaitage | of the powers, and wished for a sum | of money to cléar off the debt of his home. The wishes were reported to be granted in a regular manner, which would lead "one to believe that it was just a coincidence. The | day after wishing for the sum of | money, Mr. White's son, Herbert, capably played by Mr. W. Havery, was killed, and the money-was pre- sented to the father as compensa- tion. Three wishes were supposed to be granted by the charm, and after much persuasion from Mrs. White, | presented by Mr. I. C. Edwards, the | possessor wished his son alive again. | Mysterions™ tappings on the door frightened the household, and the charm was once again brought into use, and called upon to return the spirit to its resting place. Mr. N. Turner played the role as "Mr, Sampson," the representative of a company which paid the compensa- tion for the death of the son. The play was not without amus- ing situations, and the audience was given plenty of Igughs through the! monkey's paw which the possessors had. The play was in three scenes. the first in the living room of an old fashioned cottage on the out- | skirts of Fulham, England, in the evening, the second the next day and the final one a week later. "The Jubilee Minstrels" were very capably presented, a feature of the programme being 'Capt. Jun- ket's Famous Underseas Band," whi¢h favored the audience with a very rare selection, using instrum- ents that defied description. The burlesque was very Amasing and provoked gales of laughter. 'Sevasal real new song hits were introdbe- ed, "The Night that Timothy Sheén- an Married Datfeny McGrew," by W. Burrows, and "I Didn't Ask, He Didn't Say," by N. Turner, being two of the best. The songs were inter- spersed with jokes and ether laugh producers, The membérs of the com- pany were possessed with very fine voices, and the singing of the Sou- thern songs was exceptionally The members of the company were W.

E. A. of a plea by Prof. John Macgillivray of | Queen's University, Kingston, that | German should have an equal place with French in the schools of On-| tario. The paper delivered by him! last year .before the Modern Langu- | age Section, was ordered by vot: of | the members to be printed in pro-| ceedings. Prof. Macgillivray wanted | to know why that had not heen done, not that he had been denied publicity as his paper had heen quoted in the paper of Quebec, with a great deal of personal abuse. The secretary stated that the Do- partment of Education determined | what papers should be printed, and | what should not. Incidentally ihe province paid for the printing, "If this means that we sell our souls to the department or to any- one else," said Prof. G. H. Needier, "it fs time we put our hands in our | pockets and pfint. our own procesd- ings." Members pressed will of the section be ignored and flouted. Dr. Needler further suggested | that it would be well to cease to | accept the charity of the depart- | ment, | Another member of the section ! pointed out that all the papers could not be printed in the official pro- ceedings, or the volume would be as | big as Webster's dictionary. i The matter was finally left with | the general executive to deal with, | Prof. Macgillivray further wanted | the five travelling scholarships con- | ferred by the province to enable Students to study ip France. to be thrown open to other countries. 1t| was explained that the scholarships had been arranged in France to aid in a rapprochement with that coun- try. "We don't need that rapproche- ment much," said Prof Macgillivray, adding that as much profit could be obtained by study in other lands. In doubt whether , France or Ontario paid for the scholarships, the Section left it, on motion of Dr. Needler, to 'a committee to wait on the Bepartment of Education to see it the scholarships could he extend- ed not only te Germany but other countries, "2h Germany's objected that the ex- should ARE " PREMIER FERGUSON'S 3 ERROR IN REASONING (Brockville Recorder and Times) The average Ontario citizen will find it difficult to understand the necessity for the alteration in the time-honored policy of the Ontario Government in respect to the small-} er universities of the province which the Ferguson administration now sthreatens to carry out. The Gov- ernment nas served notice upon the governors of Quear's University and the University of Western Ontario, both of them old and very useful in- stitutions which. have 'been in re- ceipt: of governmental assistance from the time of their establishment, that these grants are to be very largely curtailed and that hereafter but one university (that situated in Toronto, of course,) is to be recog- nized ase provincial institution. Such action, it may be expected, wil] not tend to popularize the Fergu- son Goverament in either Eastern or Western Ontario or with the loyal ------ end with triends in Kingston.

As thind® now are, with the grant to Queen's University reaching the figure of $380,000, the finances of that institution are in none too healthy a state. If they were, there would be no reason for the cam- paign in aid of the University which is now in progress. - All universities the country over which are not able to draw upon Government funds al- most without reserve or which have not beén endowed with the princely bequests of master brewers or to bacco magnates have a hard time making both ends meet. They must furnish education at a comparative- ly cheap cost or they will not be able to attract undergraduates and their purpose will vanish. Even those universities which possess em: dowments which were considered ample to meet all requirements a few years ago.now find tiat they must turn to other sources of revenue, The curriculum has been so widely extended to embrace subjects Which were not heard of even a decade ago that the acquisition of new equip- ment, new buildings and a larger staff has become necessary if they are to continue their usefulness. In- Stead of having Government grants cut almost to the point of extinction, these might well be increased, as is to be done in the Province of Quebec and 4 redaction made M the expendi- ture to less worthy purpose. It seems to be the opinion of those who are behind the Ferguson Gov- ernment's move (and presumably the Premior himself supports it) that the work which is now being done > Queen's and Western On- tario Unjversities in training the youth of the eastern and western parts of the provinee* for the profes- sions can bé automatically transferr- ed to the University of , Toronto. Never was there greater error in reasoning. Poth of the universities which hare been mentioned exer- |: cise a great influence in the terri- tories from which they draw thelr Student bodies. They have done so from the time of their inception and they will continue to do so, whether government grafits are continued or are withdrawn.
