ont religious education in the public schools where else will children get their foundation for an understanding of democratic life if not in our schools asked mrs silcox chair man of the canadian national fed eration of home and school board addressing a womans meeting in aurora mrs silcox stood solid for religi ous education in the schools in part the speaker said there has been a certain amount of religious education in the past in our schools but due to large schools and not enough ministers only certain gra des are concentrated on so all do not receive instruction and there fore it is not adequate all minis ters are not successful at teaching children and are apt to teach over their heads there is no required course so no uniformity then it was something apart from their training for living somethingextra which one could take or leave but not essential like arithmetic thus it was felt by many sincere students of the subject that it should go into the school course and be part of the everyday life of the school continuing mrs silcox said i see no reason why anyone fit to have the care of my child as many hours a day as a teacher has cannot tell stories of the coming of jesus the love of god the fatherhood of god regardless of his personal belief i would urge you all if you wish to further the movement to bring a foundation of christianity to all ontario boys and girls to wel come this new course be very slow to criticize and very appreciative st all the best in it eveningwith a book and watching the tide roll in and the sun go down the sun doesnt go down

stirling castle was most interesting all the scottish history id ever learned and a good deal i hadnt seemed to be connected with it the wallace monument is set on a very highhill overlooking the town of stirling it is about 150 feet high and from the top one can get a grand view it takes an awful lot of climbing to get to the top though we spent a couple days in the town of chester near liverpool it is a very quaint old place with a wall around it built by the romans it has a beautiful cathe dral but what impressed me most was the double tiered stores there is one row of stores arid showcases at street level and then at the cor ner- of each street a staircase which takes you up a storey and theres a board walk and another row of stores and showcases bath was the next place we saw it was very pretty but had been heavily blitzed- we went there to see the old roman baths and swim ming pools they were very in teresting theyre fed from a hot mineral spring the romans had utilized the hot water for heating the building by running it through tiles under the floor as well as for medical purposes they had turk ish baths and special deep baths for curing rheumatism in fact they told us that was their chief medicine centre about 15 ad stonehenge which is a circle of huge stories carved and erected on salisbury plains some 3000 years ago was the next place we saw it wasntso much to look at but was interesting from the fact that there is no stone of that type within 70 miles and that these huge stones had been conveyed that long dis tance by some unknown means it is thought they were used by druids as a place of worship i stopped a day in london but it was a bit disappointing to me however edinboroughmade up for it i en joyed it there very much perhaps because it is the most like a can adian town of any i have seen since leaving canada- 1 spent the last few days of my leave- on a large scot tish farm arid really realized what the words scottish hospitality means i have
