Dr. Cody, for- mer Minister of Education, stated that "Evangeline" should be removed from the Canadian school books, as he knew of no poem with a more subtie influence to create a wrong, | yet indelible impression of British | Justice, chivalry, and administration. | He told the teachers how the facts | of history sometimes differed from | the incidents which were generally | believed. Shakespeare's historical | works, though faulty from a point of | fact, made a greater appeal than dry | facts. But in the case of "Evange- | line," he advised the teachers to | read the dry as dust historical facts { and they would find that the beau- | titul poem had not mentioned them. He attributed much of the anti- British sentiment in the States to the effects of this poem of Long- fellow's. | Canon Cody's arraignment of "Evangeline" as bad history is per- haps nearer the truth than his esti- mate of Longfellow's tedious hexa- meiers as beautiful poetry. Greater | poets and dramatists have exercised | postic license and misrepresented his- | toric facts, but in few instances has there been so fantastic a distortion | of the rights of a case. The dry facts are that the! Acadlans, after the conquest of their country by the British, and its ces- sion by treaty with France, were] given repeated opportunities of re- | maining undisturbed on their lands, | on condition of taking the oath of allegiance, which they would no doubt have done but for the contrary | persuasion of their clergy. They | neglected warning after waraing, and | abused the indulgence of the British | authorities. Nevertheless there is a Question If their general expulsion | would have been finally decided upon | but for the insistence of the New Englanders, and it was John Win- slow, a colonial officer, of Boston, to whom the operation was entrusted. ! This point, naturally, is ignored in| Longfellow's poem. J Nor was the removal of the Aca-| | dians from their homes attended with great cruelty, or unnecessary severe ity, ae would appear in "Evangeline." | The poem is only in rare instances | | used in the High Schools.

Cowley of the Board of Edu- cation sald: "It has often struck me| the same way. Dr. Kingsford, in his | history, deals with the Acadians from | the proper viewpoint. As the poem | stands it leaves too much to be "I understand it ts a ve poem in American schools and. is] used to portray what they like to | believe is the character of the British of those days.

Aut the English people | think otherwise. They recognize the | Queen as the ideal wife and mother, | the centre of whose life is her home, | and they have thought somehow or other that a doll's house symbolizes her qualities. So when a noted artist made the suggestion that such a doll's house should be made for | Queen Mary as had never been made | in the world before, he struck a re- | Sponsive note. Nobody sald the idea was absurd, the ends trivial. Instead, enthusiasm was aroused, and for Some months past many of the finest brains of English art and industry | have been concentrating on the manufacture and equipment of this | house. When it is completed, and | | the date announced now is in Jan- | uary, the house will be placed on exhibition and a fee charged. The money thus collected will be dis- tributed among those charities which | are nearest to the warm heart of the | queen. After that the house will re- | side in Buckingham Palace, We have no 1dea what it would a house as is being offered to the Queen as a gift. Perhaps a million | € Ts would not do it. Perhaps no aL *. of money would do it, for we nagine that many of the dis- ting, ! people who nave gladly | given time to the task would | have r -ed to do it for money or | for the gratification of any one else | but Queen Mary. For instance, it ig | said that more than 100 noted Eng- | lish authors are engaged at the mo- ment with the smallest pens they can | hold in writing passages from their | most famous works to go in the miniature library. It was Sir Edwin Lutyens, design- er of the London Cenotaph, who con- ceived the idea, which he put in these words: "We are building a miniature model of the typical royal residence | of to-day. It is so exact in Srey | detail that it will have great histori- cal value to succeeding penerations, | Everything connected with it is of English make and mn English taste." The doll's house will be eight feet | high, and though the walls are of brick and cut-stone it is so construct- ed that these can be taken down. There is no make-believe in it from garret to cellar. Everything in it will be fashioned in the materials of the objects to be imitated on the scale of one inch to a foot. It will be tenanted by dolls designed to repre- sent the people who re: England's royal palaces cluding King and Queen, two Prime Ministers, a Lord Chancellor, a gen- eral, a President of France, the King of an allied country, a doctor and even a journalist. We do not under- stand that these dolls will be faith- ful models of King George, Queen Mary, et al. That might be consider- ed not dignified. But the historical importance of the dolls will be their clothes and uniforms, will be precisely correet.

Invited to make himself |at home and take some refreshment, | he consumed a pear and a bottle of i lemonade with apparent satisfaction. | Then, gazing steadfastly at his host, he said, "I do miss Phil May." "So do we all," said Sir Henry gravely. | "Yes, but I miss him most," pursued | the child. "He was my chum." "Ah, {that makes it very hard!" said Sir Henry. There was a long pause, and {then the little fellow asked very earnestly, "Will you be my chum +2ow?""
