In dealing with the characteristics in "the land of teeming millions," the speaker mentioned their callousâ€" ness to suffering and what pain they could endure without expression and their crude means of doctoring. They are a patriotic people of a provincial nature, very proud of their separate provinces, but not so much so, as a country. In speaking of them as a superstitious people, with strange scientific ideas on astronomy, etc., Mr Armstrong said that in spite of this, some valuable inventions had hailed from China, such as the marâ€" iner‘s compass. The political life of the country was also dealt with Mr Armstrong has first hand knowledge, and is thoroughly familiar with his subject and his address was quite interesting. Rev. Mr Armstrong Adâ€" dresses lastitute on China. Mr Armstronog discussed the varâ€" ious classes and spoke of the unrest caused by the military class and the resulting confusion. They are a peoâ€" ple of high ideals but do not five up to them. The opium question was dealt with, its growth, the smuggiing and results. The Sepiember meeting of the Women‘s Institute was held Thursâ€" day afternoon of last week at the home of Mrs John Burgess. The day was ideal and a goodly number of ladies were present. After the busâ€" iness of the meeting had been Aisâ€" posed of, Mrs A. W.H. Lauder deâ€" lighted her audience with a solo. Rev. B. D. Armstroong was the speaker of the afternoon and his address on China, her customs and problems, was well received. The speaker first described the Chinese homes, furniture and mode of living, remarked that we in Canada do not appreciate good water as we should. He said we should deal with China in a sympathetic way, realizing that they are a selfâ€"centred people, rearâ€" ed as it were, behind closed doors. The chaotic conditions prevaailing at present, the speaker attributed to too much education and militarism and not enough real religion. _ Agâ€" gressive Christian work was not pos sible at the present time, owing to the attitude just now taken by the Chinese against foreigners and the impediments being placed in the way of missionary helpers. They require that all educational schools must be registered and as religion cannot be taught in a registered school, the misâ€" sionary is handicapped. The Institute anthem was sung, afâ€" ter which an appetizing lunch was served by the hostess and her assistâ€" ants. Mr and Mrs Joe McCaslin are leayâ€" ing shortly to reside in Owen Sound, when they will share residence with her brother there, who lost his life Since obtaining the contract for the new building, Contractor Henderâ€" son has been making good progress.

The High School ‘Trustees are quite anxious to introduce a 4th Form into the curriculum, Principal Robb is not averse, but at a meeting last night (Wednesday) he showed such difficulties in the way owing to presâ€" ent congestion that the matter will have to lie over in the meantime, which will likely mean a year‘s deâ€" lay. This is regrettable but apparâ€" ently unavoidable. Tharee Fourth Form subjeces are at present being taken up by some Third Form students. There are 53 First. Form students who are divided intoâ€"two rooms : 43 Second Formers and 37 Third, with a probable increase to 40. In all Prinâ€" cipal Robb and staff, Misses Weir, Lane and Nichol, have over 130 stud ents in charge which is the high waâ€" ter mark in the history of the High School. In some Forms, present seating space was inadequate but additional seats have been placed in aisles, etc. and all will carry on as well as possible until the ample uew accommodation is provided. As predicted last winter, a bumper attendance marked the fall reâ€"openâ€" ing of Durham High School Tueâ€"day and the new addition cannot be comâ€" pleted too« soon.
