Accordingâ€" ly, the following will be especmll\ timely in this year of the diamond )ubllee of the confederation of Canaâ€" (1(1 The 1925 school attendance was divided as follows : publicly controlled kindergarten elementary and secondâ€" ary sehools, 1,065,832 ; private schools of the same kind, 72,104, Indian schools, 14,222; schouh fm the deaf and blind, 1,561; agrieultural, techniâ€" cal and m«rht sehools or courses under (*n]l(m‘o fl'rade, 95,684 ; teacher trainâ€" ing schoo]s 10, 2’0 private business colleges, 16, 046 preparatory courses, 4,995 ; »hoxt and special courses at universities (of which there are fourâ€" teen in Canada) and colleges, 11,941 ; Quebec classical colleges -‘)8)) reâ€" gular courses in other oolle«*e\ 8..)‘31 regular courses in universities, 22,723. 'l‘hm'o are more than sixty thousand teachers in Canada mnmbt,ennn to these students in more than 40,000 class rooms.: In 1925 the total cost for this was $121,034,234 for day schools alone, sixâ€"sevenths of the cost being met by taxpayers direct to school municipalities, and more than oneâ€"third being spent for salaries of teachers. CANADIAN LEGION TO HOLD MEETING ON FRIDAY, JULY 15 Canada had in 1925, the latest year for which statistics are available, 2â€", 228,860 persons, or oneâ€"fourth of its population, at school. In the year 1867 it had 718,000 persons at school. The nine Canadian provinces have therefore to look after the educational needs of three times as many people as when Canada came into being. Educational activities in 1867 were confined to that portion of Canada lyâ€" ing east of Lake Superior, and in that portion of the Dominion the sehool attendance has increased marvellousâ€" ly, except in Prince Edward Island, where there has been a decline along with the decreasing population of that province. But west of the Great Lakes migrating populations have had to who are included in the 1921 figures. The progress has therefore been amazâ€" ing in the last forty years, and the percentage figures Awould be much more favourable if the situation aâ€" mong ‘ foreignâ€"born Canadians were eliminated. But even with the forâ€" eignâ€"born population the progress is very encouraging. Though the perâ€" centage of illiteracy is 18.8 per tent among the foreignâ€"born 21 years and over it is only 5.7 per cent among the foreignâ€"bhorn from 10 to 20 years, 2.9 per cent among the nativeâ€"born of foreign descent from 10 to 20 years and 3.9 per cent among the nativeâ€"born of foreign descent 21 years and more of age. _ In most parts of Canada illiteracy is practically â€" unknown. Not only that, but the quality of eduâ€" cation is continually ‘advancing in every province, due in great part to the higher salaries for teachers, the higher qualifications which teachers now have, and the greater regularity of attendance. Canada is given sketchily by the folâ€" lowing statistics of school attendance in the years named : Manitoba, 1871, 817; and in 1925, 145,834; Sas]\atohe- wan and Alberta‘ (e()mbme(l in 1886, create educational facilities to keep pace with their rapid growth. The advance in civilization in Western 2.553, while in 1925 the attendance for Saskatchewan alone was 206,595 and for Alberta 147,796; British Columâ€" bia, 1886, 401, and in 1925, 97,054. During this whole period by the aid of compulsory education laws in all but one province and free schooling the length of time spent by individual students in gaining tuition has been steadiy on the increase. There has been a decided decrease in illiteracy even though since 1900, the difficulties in dealing the death blow to illiteracy have been vastly increased by the adâ€" dition to the population of hundreds of thousands of illiterates from Eurâ€" In 1921 Canadians of ages from 10 to 14 had two per cent of illiterates, from 15 to 20 there were 2.8 per cent of illiterates, from 21 to 34 there were 3.9 per cent of illiterates, from 33 to 64 years there were 6.5 per cent of illiterates; and at ages not given there were 24.3 per cent of illiterates. The average for all ages showed 5.1 per cent of the population over 10 years of age unable to read or write while back in 1891 the average illiteracy was 138 per cent exclusive of Indians who are included in the 1921 figures. The progress has therefore been amazâ€" students in gal steadiy on the been a decided ope DEATH OF FRRDDIE KEIZE IN TIMMINS ON JULYA The sympathy of the co nity is extended to Mr. and Mrs. E./ L. Keizer of First Avenue in the déath of their little boy, Frederick Edward Keizer, on July 8th, aged 3 years, 2 months and 29 days. The little fellâ€" ow had suffered three weeks with Wild Animals Friendly on Banffâ€"Windermere Highway ""The Friendly Road," by David Grayson, which is wellâ€"known to many lovers of nature, depicts inâ€" cidents and friendliness of people along country roads and in the rural districts. There is, however, a road in the Canadian Rockies the friendâ€" liness of which is not due to mortals as in Grayson‘s book, but to the friendliness of animals. Animals termed wild, but in this instance a word that cannot be applied to those on the Banffâ€"Windermere Highway. Theore is possibly no more beatâ€" tiful road than this which runs from Banff to Lake Windermere, in the Columbia River Valley. The distance of 104 miles is spectacular and the scenes are constantly changing. The lews from the high passes looking daowninto valleys, thousands of feet below, tiny lakes surrounded by alâ€" (CINNAMON BEAR NEAR BANFF pneumonia and in spite of all that medical aid could do, he passed away at a quarter to one. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. D. Parks on Sunday, July 10th at 2 p.m., and he was laid to rest in Timâ€" mins cemetery. He was a bright, inâ€" telligent little fellow who will be greatly missed by all who knew ijm. Floral offerings were received from pine meadows, rivers crossed and reâ€" crossed, and gzlimpses of cascades tumbling down slopes from dizzy are intriguing and beautiâ€" ful. .

Sometimes he has lunches handed to him and the remarks of "nice old chap, fine old fellow," please him tremendously, and he will try to come even nearer. Bozo no doubt had many dreams during the winter of summer tourâ€" ists, and possibly has figured out in true bear fashion just how to get the most out of the tourist season. Deer are seen, also, on this famous highway, though not as often as other animals. They aroe regular visâ€" itors to Banff, and are frequently seen on the streets of the village. There are hundreds of miles of smooth motor roads through the Canadian Rockies, and devotees of the open road are visiting this reâ€" sion in increasing anumbers annuâ€" ally.
