ENTERTAIN: al Yh ty he ire : < Under the above nondesavipt headline the Strand treated its patrons last Monday to one of the best: gyening's 'entertainments they havé"ever enjoyed. Consist ing of three people, each of them capable of furnishing a full pro- gramme unaided, the company provided two and 'a half hours of the most delightful high-class at- traction. : me Miss Hazel Dean Byram, solo- ist, charmed - the audience with her playing. Using a beautifully- toned violin, over two hundred years old, her rendering of both classic and popular music was a , delight to listen to. Miss Avey, Birkett Moore, pian- ist, was especially clever. Her pianologues were wonderfully ill- ustrative; as nearly as possible she "made it talk." At least the + meaning was very cleverly con- veyed to the audience by means i of the keyboard. Kelly himseli, ' with his talking dolls, furnished a ! great deal of amusement to young "and old. His was not the regulaz patter of the ventriloquist; it was new and interesting. i. Altogether it was an entertain: ment of pleasing excellence, and they are bound to have a big re. ception when they play Dryden on their return trip. rt © The Orchestra will give anoth- 'er one of their Social Dances i ec Pu 11 Hall on CN A A WATE WL 3 RN SX TEX EIRENE KER SRD Srafrele focieripeie og Sen o " Ys be : £ Frontier College 'coast to coast. i Era ATS "ef ., - Canada's alae e: k3 eal eloateed °° ~ 20 c®00% oP0e% o%¢%e%e%0e % e200 e 6% 120.3% 603 40 0x Tn WHoedecteedeetoeleefeedealealosseleeledlenloslov i tive HE United States hag growil tired of being a "melting pot." She has decided to use modern methods, turn oan the electric-welding devices, and make everybody in America an American. , The States are now seething with activity towards the Americanization of the foreign-born. Classes for adult foreigners are being held in factories, camps, and railway sidings. The Government has organized an "Amer- fcanization branch" in the Bureau of Education. Now, for nineteen years, a little institution known as the Reading Camp Association has been quietly and effectively carrying on in Can- ada this very work that the United | States has just undertaken. With | practically no official backing, sup-; ported only by sueh far-sighted citi-. zens as could personally be interested in the work, the Reading Camp Association has been teaching citizen- ship to strangers in the land, in cities, mines, and lumber camps. { And now, because at last the work bas. prospered, and because neigh- boring nations are awakening te the need which in Canada has been met sinee 1900, the Reading Camp Asso- ciation has been granted a charter by Ontario under the name of the Frontier College, and Alfred Fitz- patrick, founder and director af the movement for nineteen years, has been appointed principal. i Canada has. many distinguished universities. She is the first nation to charter a college to reach the edges of her civilization, The Fron- tier College gives no degree but that of "citizen." It has no fees. It has no buildings but tents and log huts. Its staff are young men, mostly uni- versity graduates and under- graduates. The Frontier College has no equip- ment but the simple texts and read- ing matter that the young "profes- sors" can carry in their packs over wilderness trails. The way the idea originated was as follows: Alfred Fitzpatrick, on graduating from Queen's University; was sent on mission work to the lum- 'ber camp in the redwoods of Cali- fornia, There he labored as a young minister for a long season. But he found an impassable gulf between himself and the lumbermen he was to work among. : ol Most of them: were foreigners. There was the gulf of language. They. were of European and near-Asian re-' ligion. - They had no point of view that could be reached by new-world,! western ideas and ideals. And right there Mr. Fitzpatrick decided that before the foreign im- migrant could be reached by the higher ideals of church and school, that gulf had to be bridged. ! He returned to Canada and.in 1900 gave up the ministry and launched the reading camp idea. He opened with three lumber camps in Algoma. He aimed to teach English and the rudiments of citizenship and new-world ideals to the foreign-' er. And to the native lumberjack, he directed good reading, the three! "p's" and an interest in citizenship. To back him, he had a few interested lumbermen and timber-owners. Year by year, his work spread. From lumber camps in Algoma he carried his idea to the Rockies and to the Labrador, in mines, camps, railway gangs and frontier settlers. From two young helpers he rose te a company of seventy lecturers, all; young varsity men who donned shoe- packs and flannel shirts and toiled with picks or sledge-hammers. The first attempt to secure Gov- ernment aid raised the magnificent annual donation of twenty-five dol- lars for the association. Sir George Ross raised this tc $500, and in slow stages it has risen to an annual grant of $7,600 from the Ontario Government. Principal Fitzpatrick has asked the Minister of Education to double this amount annually. This past summer there have been forty-five instructors working from This winter, there will be seventy. The nearest branches} 'of the Frontier College to Torgnto are at a railway extra-gang at Orono, and a Hydro gang at werk on a power canal at Niagara. There are seven instructors working among the Hydro laborers. These instructorsi dig ditches by day and teach English 'and citizenship in the evening. There has been no. attempt to carry the work into: the cities, for the cities have better facilities for Canadianizing the foreigner than the Frontier College. But during the war, ! one class was formed of Toronto! Russians, but the police raided it, one died, and since then the Russians i have 'avoided Torontonization. | As a recognized institution the |, Frontier College will no doubt flour-! ish. It is urging the universities to | establish extra-mural courses, by which a student, after doing two! years of academic work, may serve his remaining two years as an in- structor on Canada's frontier, attend- ing the university only to write his exams. : RB: A Sad Plight. . _ At a club this entry was foun 'the complaint book: 'The hot: in the lavatory to-day wa and there was none off = into ter would ce as 1,700 pints cast a score of them in jail, where! - Call it what you like--it depends upon : here you come from-tht it all repres- 3 ents one thing, and to-day that is very little.
