WE, the teachers of the Continuation School, wish to draw the attention of Parents or Guardians to the fact that every Continuation School pupil has a them for the last four months. We would also like the Parents or Guardians to know that a large num- ber of the pupils attending are not doing sufficient home work. Some in- dividual effort is necessary for success in the finals next year. Some pupils are doing remarkably good work, and we hope that they will continue, and that the others whose work is not up to the mark will be en- couraged at home to a little more effort. IRENE C. CRONE. GRANT BARNES. ; ---- ! -- HOCKEY PICTORIAL. Second Edition The second edition of the Hockey Pictorial is on the market, more com plete and up-to-date than the oviginal edition, which was received with such acclaim by followe.s of the great wim- ter sport. Most favorable comments have been passed non the publication by sport writers the continent over, and the general copmion as expressed by players anil serites is that no more comprehensive or handsome book in the sporting line was ever printed. A feature that should possess a marked appeal not only to puck-chasers of tlie present, but to old-timers, are the many group pictures of champion teams, dating back to the early his- tory of hockey. The new edition not only contains the history of hockey in Canada, but covers the history of the game in the United States also. with 300 handsome engravings of Canadian and American teams, and is right up to the minute in every respect. Any further information pertaining to the book can be obtained by writing to the Hockey Pictorial, 84 Victoria Street, Toronto, Ontario.
