The Freight Race has become a feaâ€" ture of the Dog Race event. The first year there were only four entries, but last year there were 16, which was 85 more than for the main event of the day. In 1922 the Freight Race was inaugurated, Mr. H. Darling‘s team being the first winner. In 1923 Mr. J. Clifford‘s team won out of ten enâ€" tries. In 1924, Mr. L. Reid was the winner, there being :10 entries. In 1925 the winner was Mr. Philios Bouâ€" vereau, there being 16 entries. yet!‘‘* As a matter of fact the event was held onece as late as March 25th.

Musicâ€"lovers will be interested in the event to be given in the Goldfields Theatre after the church services on Surmday evening, March 7th, the conâ€" eert receently given at Schumacher by the Choral Society to be repeated here by request. The programme is one of outstanding interest gand exâ€" cellence. : ""‘It is possibly to this locality that the Toronto interests are asking an extension of the T. N. 0. Railway. The writer, while in the country lookâ€" ing for coal some 17 years ago (1909). was aware of the existence of the gypâ€" sum at that time, also black lignite (soft coal) and china clay. But lack of railway transportation rendered the deposits valueless then.‘‘ correct this impression. ‘‘There are several known deposits of gypsum in the country to the north of Cochrane. One, generally known as ‘Gypsum Mountain,‘ is situated aâ€" bout 115 miles directly north from Cochrane and east of the junction of the Onakawana river with the Abitibi river. There are other deposits aâ€" bout 15 miles northeast from Gypsum Mountain. Writing under the pen name of ‘*Prospector,"‘ a reader of The Northâ€" ern News of Cobalt last week sent the following note to that paper in re: gard to the gypsum deposits north of Cochrane :â€" ‘*In an editorial in your last issue you refer to the northern gypsum deâ€" posits as ‘‘presumably the china clay‘"‘‘deposits. Please permit me to correct this impression. KNEW OF THE GYPSUM DEPOSITS 17 YEARS AGO The value of the railroad "‘travelâ€" ling schools‘‘ will not, perhaps, be so apparent in this North Land. People living clogse to the railway are usually able to provide education for their children in this part of the North Land. . At most stations along the T. N. O‘ there is a school. In any event access to the railway means that a school is within reach because the children can be sent by railroad to the nearest school The chief difficulty is with children situated three or more miles from railroad and school alike, or prevented by lack of roads from having possible access to schools or railroad. However, there is no doubt but that the Premier has given the matter the most careful consideration, and has found sections of New Onâ€" tario where the ‘""railway travelling school‘*‘ will be of service. The North Land is a big country and conditions are not the same in all sections. The big thing is to know and feel that the Government is sincerely interested and active and ready to do all that can be done to assure every child a chance for education. That is a big thing, indeed|! .R |_ _4 t n e NOC CC _If the ‘people cono‘m'ned take advanâ€" tage of the Correspondence Course plan, it will undoubtedly prove a great blessing to the children in sparselyâ€" settled districts. It will mean that children who would otherwise be unâ€" able to share in the advantages of education will have an opportunity for schooling. The plan has proved successful in British Columbia, Alâ€" berta and other provinces. It allows practically every child the opportunâ€" ity for education. The Premier, who has shown a special interestâ€"~in the matter, deserves every credit for this advantage to youngsters far from schools, and in sections not able to maintain schools. ‘‘travelling schools.‘‘ Coaches were being fitted up to provide a classâ€"room in one end, and teacher‘ss quarters in the other, and these would be taken for a week or two at a time to places in the northern part of the province where one or two families along a railway line were unable to send their children to school."" ‘‘Regarding his own Department of Education the Premier said. the great problem was to secure education for those in outlying sections of the province, and to make educational opportunities equal for all, as far as possible. He said: "‘I have been tryâ€" ing to improve matters for the rural school children. We have endeavored to simplify the curriculum and give more attention to the development of character.‘‘ He also alluded to eliâ€" mination of the supplemental examinâ€" ations and said that pupils are no longer *‘ plucked‘‘ because of falling a few markes below the standard set so long as their term record is satisâ€" factory. The plan to give firstâ€"year university work at various collegiâ€" ate centres would be in general operaâ€" tion, he thought, by next year. After a reference to correspondence schools planned by the department for benefit of scattered settlements, the minister announced that with coâ€" operation of the railways it had been arranged to send out a number of GIVING SPECIAL THOUGHT T0 EDUCATION IN NORTH A correspondent writing a review of the proceedings at the Legislature last week pays special attention to the comprehensive adâ€" dress by the Premier, Hon. G. Howard Ferguson.. One section of the report by this correspondent will be of speâ€" cial interest to the people of the North Land. This section is in regard to education, and particularly education in the sparsely settled areas of the North. In this section the corresponâ€" dent says :â€" * Correspondence Course Plan Inaugurâ€" ated. ‘‘Travelling Schools‘‘ May Also be Tried. «_ Kapuskasing has a new Provincial constable, Constable Jones being sent last week to that promising town.

You forgot that four people were making the music you heard; it was dehnlte as though coming from a single instrument. The players excelled themselves.‘‘ J‘Mm. Moffat left last week for Kouyn where she is opening a new hosâ€" pital for the service of that new gold camp. For many years Mrs. Moffat provided hospital accommodation for the general public in Timmins and district when ‘there was no other simiâ€" lar service available. In the course of over 5 years over 800 cases were dealt with, and despite the fact that many of these cases were considered hopeless before being sent to the hosâ€" pital, there were only twelve deaths during the five years. ~In recognition of the services given by Mrs. Moffat, she was presented with an address and a purse previous to leaving here. The address expressed appreciation of Mrs. Moffat and her hospital services, reâ€" gret for her departure, and all good wishes to her in her new location. It was signed by many prominent citiâ€" zens of the town, including several of the leading medical men. ,L There will no doubt be special inâ€" terest here in the comments made in the press in regard to the Hart House String Quartet (booked to be at the New Empire Theatre, Timmins, under the auspices of the Kiwanis Club on Tuesday evening, March 23rd.
