It was begin- ning to be looked for with some anxiety. Some of our readers will say this is not news. It may not be for them. but their friends at a distance may regard it as a very welcome :piece of information. Writing from Moosomin, Sask., on May 1"2th, Mr. J. C. Jopp says: “The hearts of the dwe‘llers of the prairie, rejoice and are glad. Af- ter the most perfect seeding sea- son, and all nature showing the return of spring in her loveliest form with green fields and trees in leaf. The grain grower can rest and enjoy a “day off” while the thirsty ground drinks in the re- feshing showers that have been falling for the past two days, the first rain this season. Wheat sow- ing being finished, ploughing for late crops will be light work, now that the land has been properly soaked. Whatever may be the re- result before the thresher is at work, seed-time and early vegeta- tion are ideal.” A short item about the crops out 'West appears in this issue from the :pen of Mr. Jr 'C.

The walls of the furniture :fac- tory extensions are rising rapid- ly, and there Seems to be a gen- eral rush in- the different depart- ments, including the saw mill, which has already made quite a ‘gap in theubig 10g; pile. We have just been told that our esteemed confrere, of the Review, has suggested the old market site as a location for the new post office. We cannot be- lieve that the remark, if made.w'as anything. more than a joke, but the idea of placing the public lib- rary half up the hill is only a little less foolish than putting the postoffice in a similarly out of the way place. ‘We do not wish to injure any section of the commun- ity in the library question, nor do we care personally where the building is erected1 more than to place it where it will be of the greatest good to the greatest number. The side-hill site is not the best place. and it does not meet with the approval of the majority of those who have to pay for its maintenance. Unlike a post office. the people do not have to patronize it, and more than that, it will only serve part of the purpose for which it is in- tended, if not conveniently located. Owing to a little extra rush of job work the fore part of the week, the paper comes in for a little less attention than usual. The big advertisements, however, will be interesting reading for cautious and careful buyers. At six o’clock last evening, at the home of the bride’s parents.

It must be annoying to the devoted portion of a congrega- tion, and equally amusing to the thoughtless and indifferent ones, when a- church organ goes on strike in the middle of a selec- tion. The organ in the Presby- terian church gets its power from a gasoline engine, and, like many other machines of its kind, it is likely to stop just when it isn’t wanted to. The engine works nicely, and seems to be all right, but it is possible there may be too many engineers, Outsiders generally hear about it when it kicks up and destroys the deVo- Mr. H. H.

He, or she, takes the .ground that it is a ruthless exposure of the shortcomings of some of the scholars, who most probably, through some defect. for which they are not personally to blame, find it impossible to do more than follow in the rear of their more gifted companions.” ‘We do not see anything serious- ly objectionable in, the publishing of an honor roll at the end of each month. The may not always be a true test of the rpupils’ standing, nor is the result of any examination a true test always of the candidates’ knowledge of the different subjects he undertakes to write uupon. Some would con- demn the whofle system of examin- ations, but so far, there seems to be nothing better to offer as a substitute. We do think, how- ever, that it wouild be better not to give more than three names in each class in the school honor rolls. This would have a tenden- cy to remove the objection. The giving of the names of a Whole class, in the ,order of merit, and sometimes giving the percentage obtained, subject the pupil to a real exposure, and is, in our opin- ion, an objectionable fveatrue of some monthly reports.
