In the wagon were half a dozen stray doys on their way to the pound. Nearly all of the dogs were mongrels, and some of them were _ miserableâ€"looking specimens. But to the boys they were all fine dogs. All the inventions of this marvelâ€" lous century have had little effect after all upon human nature.. Boys still are boys.

Dear Pupil:â€"As we have already sent out twentyâ€"four lessons in conâ€" From the opinions expressed by paréents, and by the children themâ€" selves, the correspondence courses have proved remarkably ®successful. From the letter published below it would appear that the Department of Education is equally pleased with the success attained. _ The Advance beâ€" lieves that a noteworthy measure of this success is due to the sincere symâ€" pathy and clever coâ€"operation shown by Dr. N. MeDougall, General Inspecâ€" tor, who is in charge of the courses. Dr. N. MeDougall, in conjunctionâ€"with Inspector Marlin of Cochrane, made a survey of the situation in reoard to settlers‘ children for Premier Ferguâ€" son when the courses were under conâ€" sideration, and at that time and ever since he has appeared to be actuated by the strongest but most kindly deâ€" termination to do everything in his power to see that every child in Onâ€" tario has the best chance for an eduâ€" cation. Backed up by the keen and sincere interest of the Premier, the correspondence courses have proved a success, Province of Ontario who need forego the advantage of equcation no matter where. that Chlld may be situated. For some time past The Advance has been hearing good words relative to the correspondence courses preparâ€" ed by the Ontario Department of Education to provide opportunity for education to those children who, for one reason or another, are unable to attend school in the ordinary way. In this North Land, where the settleâ€" ment is sparse, and where schools are consequently not always available, the correspondence courses have come as a decided blessing. They have proâ€" vided opportunity to a large number of children to enjoy the benefits of education who otherwise would be unâ€" able to secure any such advantage. Thanks to the interest of Hon, G. Howard Ferguson, Premier of Onâ€" tario, and the Department of Educaâ€" tion, there is no#t a child now in this Ontario Department of Education Well Pleased with Inâ€" terest Shown by Pupils and Parents, While Parents are Loud in Praise of the Good Work of the Courses.

An instance of the tasks to which they set the postmaster is contained in a letter from a Liverpool collector who had sent some letters previously but had since heard there was another isâ€" sue of mail stamps and wished to obâ€" tain some. He eonsequently sent ‘*herewithe(in four registered letters) 100 evelopes and $37.‘‘ The money was to buy stamps which he wished affixed according to instructions. He enclosed an extra $1 ‘‘in case the postmaster could not find timé to stamp the letters, with which to pay for getting it done.‘‘ Owing to the fact that postage to Red Lake is four instead of three cents, as the collector has figured, Mr. Brown was called on to lick and stamp 100 envelopes and got absolutely nothing out of the job. ‘‘Galloping Hoofs‘‘ No. 4 The publicity which Red Lake has been getting has aroused the imaginaâ€" tion of a new species of fortune seekers, the philatelist, who appears to be making this point the object of his spdvial attentions. Postmaster Billy Brown reports that he has reâ€" ceived hundreds â€"of dead letters from philatelists addressed . to phoney names, but with the names and adâ€" dresses of the senders unmistakably printed in the corner. The purpose is obviously to secure specimens of the Red Lake postmark and air mail stamps. The postmaster sent out 138 of these dead letters in one day.
