"Good morning Father" they chorus, A clear-eyed lad has the door open, and he will be there again when the little interview is over. The class rooms are all similar in size and appointments, the only difference being in illumination. The corner rooms have windows on two sides, the inner rooms derive their light from solid banks of win- dows looking either to the north or south. Peace is the decorative service of the rooms, all being finished in cream and brown. The permanent desks in some of the rooms are finished in mah y while the in- dividual unit desks which equip some rooms are finished in weath- ed oak, Each class room has double blackhoards, and these are install ed with their bases protruding sc as to form an angle with the wall Thus light, striking their black sur faces Ms broken up and deflected to- wards the ceiling. Little things o' that sort save young eyes. Not one child in St, Gregory's class rooms Wednesday morning das wearing spectacles. Each room has a bulletin board and much space for maps. Every class room has a large cupboard closet where supplementary reading and other aids to knowledge are stored. The majority of the rooms sea! 48 pupils, but there is room in each for at least another row of sever desks. Even in one class there can be no uniformity of size, hence Father Bench has seen to it that the desks are of different heights, The rea- son for this, as stated by him, is to insure that each child will be able to keep its feet on the floor thus avoiding fatigue and the pen- alties of wrong posture. Fine Equipment Each corridor of the school is equipped with sanitary drinking fountains, and each, floor has its battery of wash rooms for the chil- dren. Hot and cold water is sup- plidd at all times. The floors are of terazzo and the fixtures in tile and steel, Space that would otherwise have been wasted in the stair corridors has been converted into service rooms for the school, One of these is a room for the school physician and nurse for which ecomplete equipment including scales, steril- izing machines, and medicine cab- inets for emergency treatments fis being installed. . Above this room is a teachers' rest room which is being furnished by the Catholie Woman's League. The Parish Hall is on the upper floor of the school, occupying the north-east section of the school. It will have seating accommodation for 500, and is provided with a large stage large enough for the mdst ambitious program, The two unusued class rooms opening off the auditorium are to be used for parish purposes until such time as the growth of population requires their use, A completely equipped kitchenette opens off the Hall Controlled indirect lighting in batteries of four lamps each feature the auditorium which, by day, is splendidly illuminated by solid banks of windows on both sides. The seats im the auditorium are of the indiyidual folding type. Scientific artificial lighting is the rule throughout the class roonrs, and the ventilation system fis true to the best principles of service. The basement of the school con- tains two large playrooms with open cubicles for the storing of winter garments. One is used by the boys and the other by the girls. It is probable that §8t. Gregory's will form a cadet unit in the near ftunre, but its Scout troop now has a fine hall in which to carry out its winter program of training. Heating Plant The heating plant is separated from the rest of the basement by fire doors. Vaporized steam is used throughout the structure for heat- ing and the system Is given high praise by the Sisters 'teachers, St. Gregory's playing field is in the rear of the school and Church. Its skating rink was regarded wist- fully todsy by the boys who were told by Father Bench that they could still keep up hopes of good ice weather. The formal opening of the schoo) will be held later when, probably, the lord bishop of the diocese may officiate.

A {ohtidetable part oF the morning way aken up by J. P, Ma counse for Sid Kenney and the Biltmore Cafe, in an endeavor to show that the fire originated in some bales of waste Jager in the basement stock room of the Alger Press, from spon- t bustion d by pos- sible oily rags in the bales. This morning's session started at 9.30 and the first witness was Gor- don Crouse ,an employee in the press reom of the Alger plant. He gave evidence as to the cleanliness of the basement, and stated that only rags might have gotten into the baler, from his knowledge. H. P. Finn, secretary-treasurer of Alger Press Limited, certified as to the correct- ness of the statement of the affairs of the Alger Press. Here Mr. Mangan entered a strong objection regarding these figures be- ing kept from the public, saying that the affairs of his clients, the Biltmore Cafe, had" been widely broadcast through the press, and he thought that the financial condition of all corporations of, individuals connected in any way with the fire should be given equal publicity, Crown Attor- ney McGibbon stated that, on agree- ment, the only figures mentioned at the police court hearing were the amount of insurance and the total claims of the creditors, and that, as far as the prosecution was concerned no other information had been made public. Mr, Mangan replied that, in the local press, statements had been made which suggested bankruptcy on the part of the owners of the cafe. Fire Marshall Heaton stated that he considered the whole proceeding of the objection irergular, and stated that it was the duty of the probe to find out the financial condition of parties interested, inorder places.dd all parties interested, in order to establish any possible motive for in- cendiaristh, but that it was not just for the press or other ecomnsel to have access to these statements, Georbe Munns,. pressman, gave evidence as to the methods of wash- ing presses in vogue at the Alger plant, and the disposal of the rags in metal receptacles. S. M. Stroud, who was superintendent of the plant since the Monday precéding the fire, stated that when he came he found the basement dirty and ordered it cleaned, This was done, and the paper stock put in better order. He could mot advance - any possible theory as to why the fire might start in the south-west corner of the Al- ger stock room. Ralph Garden, an apprentice in the plant, and G. Han- nan, foreman of the press room, also gave evidence, The next witngss called was Cyril Weyrich, janitor 'of the Alger Press Block until the last of August. He had twice been instructed by S. Al- ger to clean out boxes and other ip- ammable material from the base- ment of the Biltmore Cafe, but on cach occasion had been prevented from doing so by Chinamen there, He reported this to Mr, Alger, Her- bert Elford, a cutter of paper stock in the Alger Press, stated that there was no rubbish in the stock room, and that it was against the rules for anyone to smoke in the plant,. He had never seen anyone smoking in the basement. Stewart Alger, manager of the Al- ger Press, again recalled, identified a letter which he had written to the proprietors of the Biltmore Cafe re- garding the unsanitary condition of their basement, in the latter part of June, About the same time he had complained verbally about the dis- posal of packing boxes, and other in- flammable material, which had been piled in hte small room south of the fire in the south wall section of the basement. Alger had ons two occasions sent Weyrich to clean this place out ,and when it had not been done he had reported the matter to the Fire Chief. He had also spoken to the Sanitary Inspec- tor and to Willie Lee about the con- dition in the basement, and had no- ticed no result. SENATE SEAT SOUGHT FOR JOHN RODD, K.C.

EE ------ Of particular significance to thé future progress of the automo- bile indusry in Canada is a sere fes of "Service" conventions to he held throughout the country, the first of which opened in the Gea~ eral Motors Convention Hall this morning, 4 One hundred Chevrolet service men and mechanics from all parts of Ontario were welcomed this morning by C. E. McTavish, Gen eral Parts and Service Manager of General gMotors. Tomorrow afters noon a similar convention of Pome tiac Service men and mechanics will open, As explained to the Chevrolet men this morning by N. H. Daniel, General Motors Service Engineer, the one purpose of these convens tions is to give the service men and mechanics as much informa~ tion as possible about the inside of the cars, or in other words, to make them up-to-date, Following the conventions in Oshawa, Gen. eral Motors engineers and officials will travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coasts holding similar meetings, With the automobile {industry forging ahead so rapidly, Mr, Daniel pointed out that a thing up-to-date one year might become quickly out of date the next, Three million dollars, he declared, had been spent by General Motors during the past yyear in bringing right up-to-date their equipment and methods. Out of date equip. ment and methods were scrapped immediately they became so, he stated, ' Aim at Efficiency These service conventions, along with the local and travelling ser- vice schools are another of General Motors' plans for bringing their entire service organization to the highest degree of efficiency. Aec~ cording to Mr, Daniel, although the engineering, production, and sales organizations are working at the top of their form, the last "punch" must be delivered by the service men, By means of moving pictures, slides, demonstrations, and ade dresses the conventions will gover all the changes in the new cars, Following this, a number of spes ial problems of the service mam | and mechanic will be concentrated upon. The time is not sufficient, of course, to go over the whole ground, To See Chev Players Tomorrow afternoon the Chew rolet men will be taken to Torone to by busses were they will see the Chevrolet National Players in thelr highly amusing and st the same time instructive, "Bigger andl Bet- ter" Revue at the Royal Alexandra Theatrq.
