In no otherjimi. hsve such enormous strides There is something more than usually pathetic in Her Majesty s demise. The century which she has so largely lled ' with her commanding position and per- sonality has just been rounded out. And then the war. The mighty acclaim which burst from the throats of myriads of her citizens in honor of the victorious soldiers whose valorous deeds had knit the Empire rmly, had scarcely died sway upon the streets of England s capital when new we are brought to- ~ `ether even more closely by our common` sorrow as we bow together at the tomb of our beloved mother Queen, whose empire was established in the `hearts of on her people. It. is almost as it she had seen the fruit of her life`s e'ort"in the unicstion of her dcminions, and- hsd exclaimed,"It is enough. Let Thy servant depart in peace. `y ` The historical significance of the great event time alone will reveal. The nations have long looked to -the 3`Widow_ of Windsor, as the acknow- lodged head of the temporal powers of the earth. They rested secure under `the shadow of her benign inuence.

Mr.` Seath ad-7 vocates manual training as the natural and logical sequence of kindergarten schools, which are now an essential and admittedly valuable part at our school system. During the past month en quiries have been made to about 45 principals of high schools in the chief manufacturing and other centres of population, from repliesto which it is gathered that the manufacturers and public favour the introduction of a system of manual training. Mr. Seath speaking of opposition Vtothe sys- tem says:--It would, I submit, be a misfortune if the artisans of Ontario arrayed themselves, without due con} sideration and investigation, against a branch of instruction which has been demonstrated to be in the public in terests by the experience of Finland, Sweden, Denmark.
