Reesor’s rendering of “Rock of Ages” was one of those features which helps to keep up and elevate the standard of Sunday ev- ening meetings. ”The Old Time Reâ€" ligion” was sung last night, and en- joyed by all present. While the col- lections covered the expenses last night, there still remains a" deficit of nearly twelve dollars.

The total number of Normal trained teachers at work in the schoom in 1911 was 6,384, as compared with 5.743 of the year previous. It will thus be seen that the replacing oi the lower grade certificates by the higher is a well- defined movement of recent years, and seems to justify the establish- ment of four additional Normal Schools. CONTINUATION SCHOOLS WELL ATTENDED Continuation schools now number 129, with anaverage daily attend- ance of 3,487. These are the schools which made a secondary education possible in many rural districts where there is not now a High School, and it is noteworthv that they are attended by 1,955 pupils coming from school sections other than those in which the schools are situated. The Legislative grants amâ€" ounted to $59,875 and the total ex- penditures to $252,080. How the difierent occupations are to be filled by the pupi‘s passing away from the secondary schools is shown by the various callings draw- ing as follows: Commerce, 14.44; ag- riculture, 13,72; law, medicine, and the church, 3.29; teaching, 21.43; trades, 6.73; while the great unclassi- fied gets the balance of 40.36.

The attendance in protessional schools continues large, an evidence that the teaching profession has not quite lost its attractions. There are at present in the seven Normal schools 969 teachers in training. In 1912 the number of certificates issued to Normal School graduates was 1,- 706, and thom to Model School grad- uates 442. Another point of much importance in the present situation, is the improvement in the profes- sional standing of teachers in elem- entary schools. During 1911 the in- crease of first class certificates was Sunday Service At the Academy The Minister of Education says in this respect, “I cannot too strongly urge upon the trustees the wisdom of maintaining salaries at the high- est point. The continued prosperity of the country, especially Ontario, is proving a powerful influence in with- drawing some of the best teaching material into more lucrative pur- suits, and the present is a crucial time in determing ”the decision of young men and young w0men in their selection of an occupation.” ADVERTISE :3 ram mm: While we are enduring storm and cold, it is pleasant, though some- what disturbing to learn the delight- ful weather enjoyed by two Linds zy- ites in Florida. In private corres- pondence received from Messrs. H. J. Lytle and V. Bruce Wilson, dated St. Augustine, Florida, they» write that they are moving about with their coats off, ,wiping the perspira- tion from their brows, in a tempera- ture of 85 degrees in the shade.

Apart from the work of erecting two steel viaducts over the Don Valley the work on this line is by no means heavy. The other work to be finished this year includes the Interprovi-nci-al and James Bay Railway extensions from Kipuawa northerly, gra-de revision on the Soo branch from Algoma to Sudbury and the Lake Shore line from Glen Tay on, which work is well under way and which it is expected will open for traffic in December next. G-ectysourg, Pa., March 8.â€"A Van of grain after navigation on the great lakes is closed. The intention of the C. P.

The lightest work will he carried out first and the heavy work along the north shore of Lake Superior will be com. pleted later on. Surveys are in prog- ress and will be continuedn The prinâ€" cipal items of heavy work being due to changes of alignment and grading revision. Another important work to Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, president of the company, and will involve an expenditure of $16,000,000. This sum ,of a money will not all be spent on new work_bu-t at least-[ten millions of dollars of this amount will be utilized in completing works which were commenced last summer, includ- ing a. portiOn of the new Lake Shore line and the extension from ‘St. John to F‘ar'nh-am Junction, and the local Foreythe street branch at the east end of Montreal. The majority of the new work for‘ which appropriations have been made is principally dou‘bl-e tracking on various parts of the Eastern Lines, and this will involve the expenditure of nearly six‘mil‘lions of dollars. The main line from Is- lington to Guelph Junction on the London Sub-division will be double tracked for a distance of thirty miles which is necessitated by the increase of traffic and will prove a consider- able relief to the congestion on this Sub~division. It is contemplated to have the work finished by November. 0n thisstretch there are a few small bridges to be built but nothing of any great importance. The tenders have been called_for but contract have not yet been let. It is proposed to double track portions of the main line between Ronfordâ€"which is the junction between the main line and the Torontoâ€"Sudbury branchâ€"and Port rthur covering a distance of 135 mil-es. The total distance be- tween these two' points is 553 miles. Last summer seventylfi've miles of this line were double-tracxed at the points which most facilitated opera- tion of traffic. It is intended to eventually double track the whole of this long stretch and when completed it will he a great advantage to the haulage. LARGE EXPENDITUREâ€"â€" BY THE c. P. R.
