Its theme is an unusual and moving depiction of filial affection on the part of a condesmned murderer, who, to the very end, conceals his identity that his mother‘s heart may not be wrung with sorrow, the gripping play takes its name from the Shakespearian couplet: "Cowards die many times before their Vibrant with dramatic strength, the leading role is said to afford Paul Muni, outstanding Fox Films player, opportunities even surpassing those of which he took such marked advanâ€" tages in "We Americans" and ‘"Four Walls," stage productions which made him a Broadway sensation.

He was‘ greatly pleased at the progress made, and will do anything within his power to see it completed. We are all grateful to Mr. Lee for the assistance he has given us in putting this thing over. Without the help from Mr. Lee it is doubtful if we could have gone forward.

This is a big advantage to the children of settlers and others who are not within distance of a school, who are not financially able to have a school of their own, and who consequently would have to forego educational advantages were it not for the â€" Government‘s _ correspondence courses. â€" Any child who has access even as seldom as once every tWo months to a post office can successfully take these courses. This means that the courses actually make it true that every child everywhere in Ontario has the chance for schooling. At the preâ€" sent time over 800 children are taking these courses, which means that there are thus 800 children receiving educaâ€" tion, who, without these courses, would have no chance for such a privilege. If Hon. G. Howard Ferguson had nothâ€" ing else ‘to his credit but these corresâ€" pondence schools he would have fully justified any good words that may have been said about him as a patriot and a statesman. The correspondence schools have been successfuly operating now for several years and every year sees an inâ€" crease in their success. Last year several children whose education had been received almost altogether from these courses successfully passed the entrance to high school examinations, many of them winning honours. There nas, perhaps, been too little attention paid to the correspondence courses by people in general. The truth is that perhaps no other single activity has such farâ€"reaching influence.on the welâ€" fare of this province as the introducâ€" tion by the premier of the corresponâ€" dence schools to Ontario, thus giving education to 800 children who would otherwise have been deprived of this benefit so indispensable in modern life. Another excellent move by the Onâ€" tario Dept. of Education has been the establishment of what is known as the school car or the school house on wheels cars, conducted in coâ€" operation with the railways, operate along the C. N. R. and C. P. R. in secâ€" tions where schools are not available. "The school cars that the Ontario department of education, assisted by the railways, operates in northern disâ€" tricts of the province are proving very useful, judging from an address that was delivered at a recent convention of teachers in North Bay. These cars are intended to meet a need that existed in a number of settlements with small populations and with no schools. Each car contains a classâ€"room and living accommodation for the teacher. The car is moved from place to place along the Hines of the railway. At each point Something of the value of the school cars may be deduced from the followâ€" ing editorial from The Toronto Mail and Empire in an editorial article last week:â€" the teacher imparts instructions to a class and gives his pupils lessons to be daone at home in the interval between that car‘s visits to that point. In the address that was delivered to the teachers in convention at North Bay an account was given of the work of the teacher on â€"one of these cars, which is operated on the Canadian Pacific Railâ€" way out of Chapleau. When the car was first put into service, in 1926, the teacher enrolled a class of 46 children, of whom only two could speak English at all. During the 1928â€"1929 term 64 pupils attended classes on this car, which travelled 4,000 miles. The school cars are operated, of coursse, primarily for the benefit of children living in the small communities along the lines of railways in Northern Ontario. While that is so, the car whose base is at Chapleau, did not serve as a school only for children. It proved attractive to adults, who attended classes on it during the evenings This car was the headquarters for no less than 46 night classes, composed of men and women, during the last school year. enables the teacher to perform services that are extremely valuable to the peoâ€" ple living in and around a number of small places in the northern districts and that are valuable also to the counâ€" try as a whole. The car takes school to the children in those places. It enâ€" ables them to receive instruction in the subjects of the curriculum or the eleâ€" mentary schools of the province. It enables aduits, too, to acquire some education or to add to their stores of experts though many of them are quite ready to concede it. But to the ordinary man who is concerned with no pet theories and is satisfied if the average of eductional standing is inâ€" creased the work of Hon. G. Haward Ferguson has made especial appeal. In the District from North Bay to the Sawt the Sthool Cars are Proving of Great Value. There is a growing belief that Hon. G.

It seems that Orillia also has been tormented by one of these crazzy fellows that occastonâ€" ~ally terrorize the women and girls of a ‘locanty. It is true that despatches to {some of the daily newspapers suggest that the accused fellow has not been ‘nearly as bad as painted and that the whole question has been much exagâ€" gerated. The references in The Adâ€" vance were by no means exaggerated, but quite the reverse. It may be that the Orillia story also was not at all overdrawn. In any event here is the story as told by The Orillia Newsâ€"Letâ€" ter. It makes racy reading:â€" "To be caught by the ankles by hands reaching out of tall grass, to be grabâ€" bed from behind, to be dragged down into the d@itch, to have clothes torn and body bruised, to be pursued for blocks, to be driven screaming and hysterical along the back streets adjoining the | Atherley road is the experience of at least three young Orillia girls this past few weeks. A mystery man, a "funny, ugly looking nan," blond, unusually strong, has been haunting the Moffat Farm, accosting and assaulting, and in one case ambushing girls returning from the show or fromâ€"work at night. In one case a teen age girl returning from work at about 9.30 was followed ! from the business section of the town' into the houseless and almost lightless area past the Canadian National staâ€" tion by this man whose unusual attiâ€" tude aroused her suspicions and caused ! her to quicken her paceâ€"to no avail. The man approached her, walked beâ€" side her, said ‘"terrible things" and ‘hen, the street ‘being conveniently dark and deserted, grappled with her, "hung on to her." A clogse friend of the girl attacked described the ensuâ€" ing fight. *"She yelled, and kicked, and screamed, and bit him. Anyway, he finally let her go and ran over om to the railroad tracks and stood up and laughed, laughed! He must have been crazy!" makes it possible for these people to acquire readily knowledge of Canadian public affairs, institutions, ideas and customs and to prepare themselves more quickly than they would otherâ€" wise be able to take their places and discharge their responsibilities as citizens of the Dominion." ‘"My girl friend is so scared she won‘t come home alone.â€"at nights any more. And nz2ither will a lot other girls, : We are all scared. She says the man who grabbed her was dressed in some queer kind of smooth clothes." References have been made in reâ€" cent issues of The Advance to the acâ€" tions of an apparentlyâ€"demented feilow who has been frightening women and girls in the Gillies Lake area of town. There have been determined efforts by the police and others to capâ€" ture this fellow, but so far all plans have failed, and the man himself has evidently ceased his evil activities.

The blond wolf in the queer smooth clothes seemed to have a penchant for this particular spot. It was not many nights later that a third girl had her clothing alâ€" most torn from ‘her and was pursued to the door of her home, screaming, almost naked, crazy with fear. There ; are other cases, that have been hushed up and kept from police and press by heartbhroken girls and parents. "Some would have it that the perâ€" petrator of these night attacks is a manilac. His standing on the raised railroad track and laughing, loudly, wildly, and without fear of attracting aid to his dishevelled, sobbing victim on the street below, points to the justice of such a belief. The weirdness of his lying in the tall grass, grabbing at the legs of passing women, his inevitable choice of this particular district, the unhealthy and horrible twist given the remarks he addressed to the objects of fear, all give weight to the police theory that he is a dangerous manilac who must be found and confined. "At a meeting of the town council Monday night demands were made for more lights in this district. Nothing was done, as the prevailing opinion is that there is more money being spent in this district now than is collected in taxes. The chief of police when quesâ€" tioned on the matter said that some of the stories are without basis in fact, "but others are quite true." "We are told that unrestrained creâ€" dits by retailers are mostly to blame for people getting into debt. Whether this statement represents an economic truth or not is difficult to say. <What is more certain is that in these unresâ€" trained credits lies one of the great weaknesses of the retail system. Wholesalers extend credits, but the term for which the credit is allowed is expressly stipulated and the customer understands thoroughly that he must be prepared to make some sort of setâ€" tlement at the expiration of that term. If retailers had a similar rule, we fancy that it would help them greatly in a business way and would also act as a ‘"While police believe that the atâ€" tacker has left town, and believe they have him identified and promise arrest should he ever return, an investigation has been promised by the reeve of the town, H. J. La Rose." Credit is:.one of the matters that cause difficulty for local business men, not only in this town, but in all towns. Various places have been attempting to cope with the situation. The fayvâ€" curite scheme advocated for handling credit is the one (to use an Irishism) of not having any credit. However, like other plans, this noâ€"credit scheme has not been found feasible in many cases. Oredit appears to be a necessity for modern business in aréas like this. In a.recent issue, however, The Georgeâ€" town Herald gives a suggestion that may be worth more than passing notice. The Herald says:â€" self L[Imited truth, so help me, God," is taken lightâ€" ly. Perjury, Magistrate Burbidge said, is becoming too common in his court and he serves notice that he intends stamping it out. There probably is no crime more generally committed than that of perjury, nor one that is so inâ€" frequently made the basis of prosecuâ€" tion.
