P. angan, who appeared for the ac- used, drew the attention of the ourt to the fact that Hichee is an hdustrious man, and that the harge arose out of merely domes- eo affairs, The total amounted to 12.30, and the sentence in default f payment was fixed at 14 days hard lahour. im Ww -- Objects Are to Encourage Fine Work Among Stud- ents By Special Recogni- tion and Through Scholar- ships to Foster Deevlop- ment of Sperior Talent-- Such an Educational Foun- dation Would Be First of Its Kind in Canada Efforts were launched today by the Board of Education to extend the Oshawa Collegiate Institute's list of scholarship and prizes for student merit. The city's substantial citizen ship is being approached with a view to extending the existing list very greatly and the committee in charge of the campaign already have assur- ance that the response will be gener- ous, In fact, the effort is really directed at creating an Educational Founda- tion in connection with the city's secondary school which will have two main objects. First, by means of pri- zes and medals to encourage fine work amongst the students by means of special recognition. Second, by means of scholarships to foster the development of superior talent wher- ever it may appear, and particularly with a view to students whose fin- ancial handicaps might deter them from the pursuit of careers for which their special abilities mark them. would be the first of its kind in Can- ada in the field of public secondary education, The Board's effort in the matter is, therefore, as unique as it is timely, local educationalists point out, The committee in charge of the campaign consists of Chairman T. B. Mitchell, of the Board of Edu- First Undergrad: "What oing to do when you get your ree?" Second ditto: "Wonder how it hap- ened." are yot de- Such a Foundation, named as such, Effort to Extend List Scholarships, Prizes At Oshawa Collegiate $cation; Trustee E. W. Drew, Trustee A. W. Bell and Principal A, E. O'- Neill, of the Collegiate Institute. It is hoped that a partial list of those donating scholarships and a- wards will be available for announce- ment at Friday's collegiate com- mencement exercises. The campaign, however, will continue for some time in order that citizens interested may fall in with the Board's suggestions after full thought and investigation. One unique feature of the Founda- tion, as proposed, is that recognition will be given to students who may not be the most brilliant but who, within their limit, make the most progress. As suggested by Dr. George Kerby in his recent address under the aus- pices of the Home and School Clubs, genius is very often found not mongst the most brilliant but amongst those students who acquire education only by dogged determina- tion, heroic and often unrc ognized effort, and refusal to accept defeat, The scholarships and medals now offered as rewards of student merit are headed by Mrs, F, W. Cowan's two scholarships of $75 for students of the Upper School. The conditions of these scholarships are very flexible so that the award not only marks the brilliant student but takes other factors into account if necessary Other prizes are the Tamblyn pr. in elocution and public speaking, and the Squair prize in French, One aim to be stressed by the committee in connection with the of- fering of new scholarships is that they be made permanent as far as possible, It is pointed out that some collegiates in Ontario have endow- ments as high as $10,000 for certain proficiency awards, and it is hoped list of such institutions in this regard, "Well, T suppose it's because half my ancestors were males and the other half females." eventually that Oshaw a wil head the | | 711,581.70, FREIGHT TRAFFIC MOST PROFITABLE October Earnings on C.N.R. Show a S:-hstantial Incrcaze Earnings from : neral freight traffic, apart from grain, carried by the Canadian National Railways, during the month of October last, show a substantial increase. amounting approximetely to one million dollars over October of the previous year. Against this there was a decrease in the amount ef grain handled by the system from the prairie provinces, revenue from this particular source falling fully two million dollars below that of October, 1926, the effect being re- flected in the revenues of the com- pany as indicated in the financial statement issued today.

The net earn- ings for October amounted to $7,- 688,003.20, while in October, 1926, they were $8,685,671.59, a decrease of $807,668.29, The operating ratio for October 1927 was 69.47, while in October, 1926 {it was 67.74.

Russia is willi ing to make definite the present { ontier along the Dniester River provided Rumania will yield the provinces at the tip of Bessarabia nearest Odessa. This would give Rumania mest of the disputed territory, which she Lolds al- ready. The offer has been made indirectly, but it is understood will be made for- mally by the new Russian Ambassa- dor Dovgolevsky, who.is charged to negotiate.

It is alleged thay the same gang operated in Western Ontario also, but thay they passed raised bills, altering $5 bills to represent those of $20 denominge tion, etc. The bills which the gang passed in this vicinity were & rather poor imitation of the article, being printed on softer paper and often having the nume bers on upside down, so they ape parently changed their plang thinking it safer to use the real article, raising the denomination. The method of passing the bills was apparently the same wherever they went, They would stop at & store or garage, make a small pugs chase that ranged from a fiftye cent article in a store toa few gale Inns of gasoline at a service stae tion, and receive change for the bogus Lill which they temdertd, Some of the bills passed here came into the local bank branches from the stores, but the majority were detected by Royal Bank o in the deposits of the Imperial Co. The Dominion Bank branch that of the Bank of Montreal hers also detected species of the conte erfeit currency.
