What an advance is seen from the old days when rémoval of a patient to hospital was popularly regarded as a verdict of certain death. Only the most hopeless cases were even considered as suitable for hospital treatment. Today, the hospital is recognized as the proper place for those who require skilled care and attention to restore them to health, for which the home is not adapted. The old-fashioned idea that home love and surroundings could take the place of scientific knowledge and modern equipment has been exploded for ever, and common sense rules instead of sentiment. The supposed heartlessness of the professional nurse no longer is a bogey to anxious friends of the.patient, for now-a- days everybody who has ever been admitted for treatment in a Canadian hospital knows what constant attention and orgahiz- ed knowled accomplish, compared with the old days an anxious m <n fe Sul Ni "NIJ LURS nown to fame who was growing appreciation of the work of c recognition of the fact that nursing finest example of practical our civilization affords. as ~ hreateame Lansizam 14 " [=] = E TURKEY SHOOT DXDRIFT--A Torley $B i -- ATEECTY OOD0L WT = hall n - h, . € DOC DAIUICEY, ANOTember > - come be Oxdnft Ladies As €Xien a2 hear ImTRIoe t he FT oted Ad at Throdes = = eo CRI QC AN al viyaxn < id ts at thes affaer = three forms of the Continuation] School met together to form a2 Literary Society, when the follow- ing officers were elected-- President -- William Koshon, NOTICE!

NEARLY fifty fathers and sons were seated at a Father and Son Banquet in the United Church on Saturday evening. The banquet was certainly everything that any- one could wish for and the boys and their dads expressed their great appreciation of the splendid way in which the members of the ladies Aid so generously treated them. Some of the boys, and not a few of their dads, excelled themselves in pie-eating, One would almost think it was a con- test, but there were still pies left untouched, which shows how well the ladies had provided for such a pious lot. After the banquet, Mr Rivers in- troduced Mr Geo. McMillan the Secretary for the boys work in the Religious Education Council of Manitoba. Mr McMillan spoke very briefly, both to the boys and to the dads, about playing the game of life together; to the dads abut becoming pals and chums of ithe boys--knowing the boys' pals, his gang, etc, and becoming real with them; to the boys i2s being of great help to the dads in the home, reverence in the home, and respect for the parents and drew attention to the laws of the Trail Rangers and the mean- mg of the word "Texis." After Mr McMillan's talk the boys dmided themselves into Sm ITaelx groups and sang very lustily some of the fzzmbar camp songs. meeting aod both fathers and sons very enjoyable time to- Tragedy. A very sad accident occurred this week, when the 10 and 13 year old sons of Mr and Mrs J. Majonen, of Quibell were drowned when a small boat they were in capsized on the Terrible Lake a few miles from Blue Lake. It appears the young lads had been out setting traps and the boat they were travellng,in a small craft they had built themselves was altogeth- er too frail to stand the waves. Dr H. Morison, Coroner, visited the scene of the accident Wednes- day and immediately arranged to notify the father of the boys, who is out on his trap line, fifty miles south of Wabigoon and will know nothing of the tragedy till the messengers reach him, The utmost sympathy is extended to the bereaved parents and sisters of the boys. -- p---- WEEKLY REPORT OF CONTINUATION SCHOOL-- Form I.-- Algebra: -- (Edih Lewis, Mildred Dean, Minnie Reid), Alice Wilkinson, Frank Whiteley), Clara McGonegali, Patricia White, (Hugh Barber, Evelyn Adair, Olive Lewis), (Elmer Wice, Grace Hardy), Elsie Moorehouse, Arthur Doudiet, Lenore Stefaniuk, Ray McTavish, (Edna Buchanan, Gordon Mack- ey, Jeanette Reid), (Gladys Noble Julius Volkmar), Edwin Halder- son.
