THURSTON, Asaociate Editor THE CASE OF ETHIOPIA Mussolini now boasts that he has not only destroyed Ethiopia, but that he has also destroyed the League of Nations, of which Italy is itself a member. Imagine any human being expressing pride over that act. The time may yet come when Mussolini may himself nefd the assistance of the murdered League and it will not be forthcoming. Italy claims to be a christian country and home of one of the great christian religions â€" a follower of the meek Messiah. Its influence in missionary effort along Christian lines will henceforth be nil among Mohammedan, Hindo and other, what Mussolini would call, heathen nation.?. Italy's act will also go a long way PRICEVILLE We notice in a recent issue of the Toronto Daily Star, that Dr. Hardy who has been head of the Jarvis St. Ck)llegiate for some years past is now retiring and the Board of Edu- cation has offered the leadership of the Engli.sh Department of Jarvis St. Collegiate to W.

Tlhis child, a little girl five years of age, will, if she lives, be recognized by the world as a real prodigy, such as the musical world has known but once or twice in past years.

He is the father of ten children, eight of whom are studying music. Lucille played a classic t)y one of the great masters. Then she sat on top of the piano with back to the keys, while the Major tested her out on hor know- ledge of music. Striking many dif- ferent keys or two or three at a time, each one of which the little girl plax-ed in their proper category. Then came the hardest test of all, five different keys, each one of which she named in their prni)or order.
