Rev. Dr. Cody, formerly OBttrl# minister of education and newiy-appointed chairman of the hoard of governors of Toronto university, has recommended that the poem be removed from all Canadian school books. He intimates that "Evangeline," like much other historical llterafctre, including Shakespeare, is distorted history. He declares that he knows no poem with a more subtle influence to create a wrong yet indelible impression of British justice, chivalry and administration. Dr. Cody's indictment at "Evangeline" is stated to rest principally on three counts: That 1t represents the Acadlans as notoriously disloyal and •busing the indulgence of the British authorities; that it exaggerates the severity and cruelties of the deportation; that the expulsion was largely due to the insistence of the New Englanders. It. H. Cpowley, chief school Inspector of Toronto, says: "I understand 'Evangeline* is a very popular poem in American schools an(| is used to portray what they like to believe was the character of the British of those days. Those Americans forget that the people who acted in that way were their own ancestors. They got such a scare from the French that it was at their instance that the Acadlans were taken away.". . A good deal of this is sheer nonsense, espeHally that about the purpose of the poem's use In American schools. Canadians can see that themselves. The Toronto Telegram tells the abso-trnth when it aays: CAmmon sense respectfully offers Ita dissent from the conclusion* of the scholars who insist that large quantities of anti-British sentiment can be traced to the use or misuse of Lonylaltow's "Evangeline" in the schools of the United States Anti- British sentiment has its chief citadel among Americans who naver heard of LoAtftHov and do not know an# do not oar* whether "Evangeline" ta a chewing gum, a burlesque show, or a ladlesT baseball team. As to. "Evangeline's" being "distorted history," the Canadian historians may fight it ont among themselves. Dr. George H. Locke, chief librarian of Toronto, defends Longfellow, if not "Evangeline," and says the poet got his facts from "Ad Historical and Statistical Account of Nova Scotia," by Chief Justice T. C. Haliburton, published in 1820 in Halifax. Haliburton was born in Nova Scotia, rose to the supreme court, retired, settled in England and was elected as a conservative to the British parliament, lie was an ardent loyalist and his name Is English, not; Itaeacli. Aa*fc§Mfe a sample of HaliburtoQ: Four hundred and eighty-three mm and tS7 women were Anally collected at Grand Pre. With them were 627 sons and (76 daughters, boys, girls and young.children. As some of these wretched inhabitants escaped to the woods all possible measures were adopted to fore* them back into captivity. The country was laid waste to prevent their subsistence. In tho District of MInas alone there were destroyed 2X1 houses. 276 barns. 155 outbuildings, IX mills and one church, and tha friends of those who refused to surrender were threatened as the victim* of their obstinacy. In short, so opeya'tva were the terrors that tarrounded them that of 24 young men who deserted from the transport 22 were glad to return of themtfmrjunn? % m. m SAY "BAYER" when you buy- ^ynuLne Unless you sec the "Bayer Cross" on tablets you are not getting the genuine Bayer Aspirin proved safe fcy millions and prescribed by physiciaps 23 years for ^ Colds Headache Neuralgia kumbago Pain Toothache Neuritis Rheumatisn^;y •Accept only "Bayer" package which contains proven directions.

One Canadian writer scathingly criticises its "tedious hexameters." W. J. Alexn »der, professor of Englteh in Toronto unlverKity, that he does not regard the poem as *very good literature." In the language of Mr. Average Man, "How do these Canadians get thftt way In the first place, it was the world-wide popularity of "Evangeline" that secured for the dactylic hexameter a recognised place among English meters. In the second place, "Evangeline* bas ah honored place among the great poems of the Englishspeaking peoples. It is the story of a great tragedy, fall of heart throbs and pathos, with a heroine one of the world's most perfect types of womanhood.

Longfellow, Emerson, Holme* Lowell and Hawthorne formed the truly remark* able group that in the first half of the Nineteenth century laid the foundations of our American literature. While each had distinct artistic Individu- , sllty, they all had In common a consciousness ol the reality and worth of the moral qualities In Ufa and a belief in the beauty of righteousness. Serenity, kindliness and earnestness were tbe keynotes •*k>t their literary sanity. Longfellow, the man, was an admirable type o( the American citizen who believes in church and home, loves the sane and wholesonpe*and has many of the qualities that belong to the American ideal. Longfellow, the poet, was no Birowning; his very , simplicity is In large measure the secret of his popularity. He was no Byron; his scrupulous regard for the decencies won him respect and love. Much of his poetry Is as American as he was himself. "Paul Revere's Ride" will be declaimed ' by the American schoolboy as long as there is a Bchoolhrtuse. "The Song of Hiawatha" will live longer than the Redman. "The Courtship of Miles Standlsh" will last while the memory of the Pilgrim Fathers endures. » How He Saved His ' Money and Became Independent for Life Fifteen years ago he began his in* vestment of small weekly sums.

Fort Anne In Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, la one of the most notable historic spots on the North American continent. Thej town was founded In 1004 as Port Royal by de: Monts and Cliamplain, And It was a hornets'1 nest. Six times It changed hands between the French and English from Its founding until 1710. "when Nicholson's provincials from New England took fin«l possession and ft became Annapolis Royal. It Is the entrance Into "Evangeline, Land." From It the Acadians were deported In 1755. Inland is the Annapolis valley. A little to the north is Grand Pre and the Bay of MInas. Most of the iAcadlnpa returned, but not to Grand I're. Today, •more than a hundred miles away. In the District of Clare, lives 10,000 of their descendants, who speak the French of 300 years ago and have many old-time characteristics. Curiously enough many of the lands the Acadians left were settled by Loyalists who tied from New England because of the Revolution. Dr. Cody may banish "Evangeline*" from Canadian school books, but Nova Scotlans of the "Evangeline Country" know the poem by heart Everything associated with the Acadians Is treasured; every landmark mentioned by Longfellow is preserved. In the center of the old-time village of Grand Pre Is being established the Acadian Memorial pirk. Aad thithsr, throngs of eager pilgrims go each year. ^ # VI fno*Kwms • ***j**'eea »«e»aa• an«e*4 WHY FREEZE IN THE NORTH? HW Land SmiIw FERTWE Delta, .
