It seems preâ€" posterous that people should get it into their heads that a council is oâ€" bliged to see that they get enough to eat and wear, whether they work or not. THE MARK, GEORGE (Hanover Post) One cannot read the report of what | transpired at the Hanover Town Council meeting reecntly, without thinking that things have come toa pretty pass when a group of young fellows, healthy in appearance and well dresesd, come to the authorities almost in a spirit of "Here we areâ€" what are you going togive us?" Some remarkable views were expressed by the boys. One said he would work on the farm according to the wages he received. This would possibly HITTING IT CLOSE To to the acre. This crop is cut down two or three times a season and would thus keep all weeds in check. A light bonus would be sufficient to induce the farmers to undertake this means of fighting the wood nuisance. It has been suggested that the Carâ€" rick council should now abolish the wire fence bonus system and substiâ€" tute a bonus for plowing, levelling, and cultivating roadsides for the purâ€" pose of combating every weed nuiâ€" sance. One ratepayer suggests that the second year potatces could be pianted on the roadsides and the cultivation of this crop would comâ€" pletely destroy all grass and weed crops. The following spring the plowâ€" ed roadsides might be seeded downl with alfalfa at a rate of 20 pounds tling on a farm in Egremont. not far from Durham, his parents gave no fewer than five sons to the teaching profession and each of these walked in the footsteps of the old type of Scottish dominies who have done so much for generations past to make Scotland one of the most literate naâ€" tions of the world. The writer of this article can pay tribute to one of the brothers. the late David Allan, who taught school in the village of Holâ€" stein, some miles to the south of Durham, about a generation ago. David Allan, like Thomas Allan. lives in the memory of his pupils as an inâ€" spiring teacher who, though someâ€" times severe in his disciplinary methods, was really kindly at heart, and who devoted all his except.onal talents to the promotion of his pupils‘ interes(s: \ DEATH OF SCHOOL MASTER OF THE OLD TYPE 1 (Mail and Empire, Toronto) _ In the Town of Durham last week, in the person of Thomas Allan, there died a school master of the old type â€"one of those scholarly and highlyâ€" respected teachers who have done so much for the spreau of learning and knowledge in this province. Regiment after regiment of young people pasâ€" sed through hsi hands at the public, high and model schools and many of them, who toâ€"day occupy <prominent posiions at home and abroad, have reasos for gratitude that they came under his tuition and guidance in their formative years. He was a man of character and the bestâ€"knowu figâ€" ure in the place where he chose to do most of his life‘s work. He was promâ€" inent in fraternal circles and was an euthusiastic fisherman and patron of other sports. He represented the best of that Scottish stock which came to this ccuntry from the Old Land aâ€" bout the middle of last century. Setâ€" Ehe C. RAMAGE & SON.

In former years the arrangements were that a landowner | could procure 3,500 trees free for reâ€" ‘foresting and 500 for windbreaks. ‘This year he may procureâ€" 500 for ‘windbreaks and any number for â€"reâ€" forestation purpses.

TREES FREE FOR Dear Editor : It is so in Ireland. There, in some of the glens, and along the wild coasts of Galway, men and women 'sull speak the old Irish tongue, but despite everything that can be done by the Free State to save the langâ€" uage, the number of those who use it steadily decline. Its great enemy, the thing that kills it, is that Gaelic, whether in its Irish or Scotch form, lacks the source of hundreds of words that are a part of a terminology of modern trade and finance and comâ€" merce. Thus, while men may cling to ideals and may love the beauty and traditions of a great language, they ; cannot successfully fight against hard' world realities, against the necessity of earning their daily bread. That, and that alone, is the story of the decline of the Gaelic. Only in the Highlands does Gaelic survive. More than half of the .nhabâ€" itants of Ross and Cromarty, twoâ€" fifths of all persons in Sutherland and Inverness and a third of those in Arâ€" gyle still speak the language. In the counties of Ross and Cromarty and Inverness are concentrated all but 500 of the 7000 Scots who speak Gaeâ€" lic only. Betweer 1921 and 1931, Seciland‘s population barely remainâ€" ed stationery. ‘The excess of births cver deaths was alittle more than offset by the nct loss of population, caused by emigration. Between 1911 and 1921, when Scotland‘s population was growing, the number of Scots who spoke Gaelic fell from 183,000 to 148,000. In the next tenâ€"year period, the decline was less marked, but the trend for the past 40 years has been toco constant to encourage a belief that the decline is to be interrupted or stopped in the future. Gaelic siill stands and fights in the Highlands, but even in that stronghold the garâ€" rison is slowly reduced. ‘ The British census just completed, has produced a lot of news about ‘Scotland. First we were told that the Scots were drinking less Scotch, then, that Scotland‘s population was declining, and now, worst blow of all, that Scotland is losing its language Geel:ic,â€"ir other words is dying out. Of more than 4,800,000 persons livâ€" ing in Scotland at the present time, only 130,000 speak Gaelio : and only 70,000 of these speak Gaelic alone. Forty years ago there were 210,000 Scots who spoke Gaelic and nearly a fifth of these understood no other tongue. The Gaclicâ€"speaking group then constituited more than 6 per cert cof the whole population: toâ€"day It is less than 3 per cent. The Decline of the Gaelic part of an inevitable growth, and tc check them would be like stopping a river at its sourccâ€"either futile or disastrous. _ After all, it would not really help matters to go back to the conditions of 1880 with the populaâ€" tion of 1932.â€"London Observer. prive the age of the motor car= and the telcphone and the cinema.

His practical know-j ledge, combined with willingmess to make experiments, brought unusual success to his efforts.

Althougn untrainâ€" |ied in horticulture, he quickly grasped the principles of the science and beâ€" came known as a successful florist and green house manager, who took great delight in his work. His fine character was based on intelligence and loyalty. Resides the many friends who have learned to value his excellent qualiâ€" ties, he leaves to mourn his loss his widow, Mrs Ella Hyland, his sister, Mrs Sherbino, Kingston, one daughâ€" ter, Mrs J. A.

A short service was first held at the home for the widow and family, when Rev. W. H. Smith, his pastor, spoke comâ€" fort from the words "He giveth his beiovcd sleep." At the church, Mr. Smith based tis remarks on Acts 12: 10, the parable where Peter was deâ€" livered by the angel from prison mirâ€" eculcusly. This parable where the engels led Peter ‘past the first and second ward‘, was comparable to that of Mr Allan‘s work in teaching, whose pupils were led by him "to the corner‘â€"a little further than the schoocl cvrriculum called for.
