ONE-FOURTH OF CANADA'S POPULATION AT SCHOOL Illiteracy in This Country Has Been Reduced to a Minimum. Ottawa, May 14.--Nearly one- fourth of Canada's entire population is at school and of the 2,000,000 one-room schools in rural areas ac- cording to a statistical review of Canadian schools published by the Canadian Council on Child Welfare. The field covered by the review in- cludes personnel, accommodation, in- spection and playground activities. The statistics show that 1,800,000 children are attending state control- led day schools and 50,000 are in schools subsidized but not controlled by the state. There are 57,000 in- structors in the proportions of one male teacher to every five women teachers. Taking the age of 10 as a minimum {it is stated that the illiter- acy in Canada was reduced by 64 per | cent. between the years 1891 and | 1911, Summing up the problem of re- tardation of pupils the report states: "It, would seem reasonable to con- clude that there is no time gained by | children coming in before the age of six and a half or seven." Irregular attendance and physical defects are among the chief causes of retarda- tion. Medical inspection in different provinces show that out of 219,578 pupils examined, only 13.4 per cent. were found to be without defects, and about 48 per cent. had defective teeth. The report points out that rural children seem to suffer from many of the defects to a greater de- gree than city children. The school activities that should contribute to the solution of the retardation prob- lem are summarized under the fol- lowing heads in the review: Medi- cal, dental and nurse and psychologi- cal inspection; school hygiene and supervised playgrounds; special classes for retarded and defective pupils; manual training; clubs, fairs and exhibitions; consolidation of rural schools. Under playground ac- | tivities a large niass of statistical in- | formation is presented by the review | showing the development of that We Will Put On Sale Our Immense Stock of Rugs, Carpets, and Linoleums ONLY AT SLAUGHTER PRICES Sale of Draperies, Curtains, Chintz, Fur- niture Covers Will Be Announced Later.

Winnipeg, May 14. --Urging a more selective policy with regard to immigration in order to make Can- ada an Anglo-Saxon country, Walter { McRaye, Canadian author, who is in Manitoba in search of data for a book of history on the province, de- nounced the wholesale dumping of what he described as "little Asias" into the west in addressing the Ki- wanis club here. ! \ In advocating Canadian nationali- zation, Mr. McRaye stipulated that he did not want it confused with the nationalization proclaimed by Que- bec, but rather founded upon prin- ciples brought to Canada by United Empire Loyalists, that we should al- ways remain British and should in all things govern ourselves, "We have come to a time when decisions must be reached whether we are going to have a Canadian people or just a string of people living in Canada with their eyes fixed on some other country, and I say | that Canada should harbor no man | who cannot and will not become a Canadian," Mr. McRaye declared. The question he said was how we are going to Canadianize the foreign- ers if we are not Canadianized our- selves, Even the government refus- ed to recognize "Canadian' as a na- tionality. He did not expect a man to forget his mother country but he thought it was illogical and unrea- sonable of a Canadian born to be branded as an allen or hypenate, "I yleld to none in my loyalty to the empire, but the pride that takes first place in my heart is the pride of being a Canadian," Mr. McRaye concluded. % i ,ODESSA WILL MISS THEM, Mr. and Mrs. William Vrooman Have Removed to Kingston, Odessa, May 12.--Seymour Kil- gannon has moved to his new home recently purchased from William Vrooman on Main street.
