For the first time basic Chinese is ibeing taught on this continent, with the same text books and by the same methods, which have been so successâ€" fully used in China in the great moveâ€" ment of adult mass education. A few weeks ago a secretary of the Chinese Embassy in London made the astonishâ€" ing statement that, since the beginning of the war with Japan, some 45 million £ of China‘s Alliterates had learned to read through the mass education moveâ€" ment. The foundation of this system is a selection of a thousand most comâ€" monly used words, which the pupils are taught to read and write, and the methâ€" od is purely inductive, with no rules of grammar to bother about. The School of Chinese Studies of the University of ‘Toronto is following this system and method, and using the same text books which the millions of Chinese use, in a first year course of elementary Chinese. President H. J. Cody announces that this School was established by statute of the Senate of the University, as from July Ist of this year, so that this coming academic year will be the first of its existence. It is intended to proâ€" vide wholetime courses in elementary, intermediate and advanced Chinese for students desiring to qualify for dipâ€" lomatic service, or commercial, profesâ€" sional, missionary, and cultural activiâ€" ties in China and Eastern Asia; or for research in Chinese language and litâ€" erature, history and general culture. To test the usefulness of the Chinese system as applied to the learning of Chinese by Westerners, a summer Ssesâ€" sion of seven weeks was opened by the School of Chinese Studies, and the reâ€" sult was such a complete success as to lead to the belief that Chinese is poSsâ€" sibly the easiest language in the world to learn to read. The students of this summer school were of teenâ€"age up to middleâ€"age, and among them were artists, librarians, teachers, a doctor, prospective missionâ€" gries, and students. Not one dropped â€"out from the course, and all are desirous of proceeding further in Chinese Studies. In less than five weeks the class had read fortyâ€"eight lessons, which covered five hundred Chinese characters, and a number of the more commonly used radicals. â€" The first five weeks of this test were "under direct instruction of the Director of the School of Chinese Studies Profesâ€" The students were taught how to write each character, and they learned not only its form and composition, but its tone number, its sound in romanizâ€" ation, its meaning, and its syntactic ‘They were also instructed in the use of a very handy Chineseâ€"English dicâ€" tionary, with which each was provided, so that unknown characters could readâ€" ily be turned up and learned by the student independent of outside hglp. uh. 0t cA d 1 4) t sor W. C. White, but other members of the staff share in the review work of the last two weeks of the session. In the regular courses of study outâ€" ist prize â€" Mrs. Ladiesâ€"25¢ Ten Years ago reference was made in The Advance to a bolid robbery, in part: "Oon Thursday evening last about eleven| o‘clock, a very boid and daring robbery took place at Halperin‘s jewelry store, Gordon block, Pine street. Goods es‘iâ€" mated at from $4,000.00 to $7,000.00 in value were stolen. The thief made enâ€" try to the store by way of the fnasnlight' over the front. This was done despite‘ the fact that this part of Pine street' is near the busiest corner of the town and there were scores of people on street at the time. It is remarkable that no one noticed the thief as he made entry to the store. It was necessady for. the‘ thief to jump up by use of the window ledges and tear away the screen from in front of the transom. He took valuâ€" aple articles, from the show cases snelves, the vault and even from the window. Before he left he secured a remarkable collection of watches, rings, etc. He also got around $90.00 in cash in the cash register. Although the roods taken were large in value they were not very bulky, and the thief apâ€" parently knew something about jewelâ€" ry because for all the speed he must have shown he took only ‘the best. Chief Jones refused to commit himself as to whether there were one or more men in the robbery. Mr. Halperin has ofHfered a reward of $500.00 for informaâ€" ’ tion that will lead to the return of all the goods stolen." Taking as the for his addresses, the question, ‘"‘Does Crime Pay?" "Siâ€" lent Bill" Biddle, once an outlaw, and for sixteen years an inmate of a prison, toured the in the year 1933, as a sort of evangelist to preach the gospel that crime does not pay, can not pay, and that parents and others should rouse themselves to see that boys are started and kept on the righ track. Mr. RBiddle had previously been in Kirkland Lake where he had made very decided impression. His address had been enâ€" dorsed by the churches, the press, the police and civic organizations. The Advance ten years ago stated :â€" "Bowling has always been a@ popular pastime in Timmins in the fall and winter months, and bowlers should note that the bowling season is " here once more. There are large numbers of bowlers in the town, some of them exâ€" pert, and some of them just fond of the game, but all drawing a lot of wholeâ€" some pleasure fronf the sport. It has been shown year after year that the earlier a start is made in the way of forming teams and organizing, the sonner the spont gets under way and the more chances there are for a long and happy bowling season. Accordingly powlers now should makeâ€"a@ start to assure the 1933â€"1934 season success and enjoyment for all bowlers." Z7 P noted that in the last week or so there had been a regular epidemic of automoâ€" bile accidents in town. Some of them had been of such slight consequence that they had not been reported to the police. One motorist that week tola the police of being bumped by other cars three times in the course of one hour. In none of the three cases was any harm done to either of the cars. Also on the Saturday night of that week there were three accidents of more or less importance reported to the police, one man being responsible for twq oi the three crashes.~ About four othe: accidents besides these mentioned OCcâ€" curred also. In 1932, Miss Harriet Harkness brought special honor to Timmins High sSchool by winning the Knights of, Coâ€" lumbus Scholarship for Cntario. It was the first time in the history of Timmins High School that such an honour We achieved by a pupil of the school and the standard thus set had been followed Chinese Library, ‘Toronto. lined for the academic year, the main emphasis is placed on Chinese language and literature, Chinese history and reâ€" ligions, arts and crafts, and other subâ€" jects are also included. 08 0 00 For purposes of concrete and practical illustration of Chinese civilization, the School will make full use of the importâ€" ant East Asiatic collection of the Royal Ontario Museum, which in this respect gives it a unique position unsurpassed by any Chinese academic department at present existing. t n S en En BC Graduate students who propose proâ€" coeding to advanced degrees through Chinese Studies, will register with the School of Graduate Studies, but ‘all other students, including those not proâ€" ceeding to a degree, will register with the School of Chinese Studies, at the it c d i < Registration for the first regular year of the School takes place on September 95th, and lectures begin on September #900099099090990000000000000000000000090000000000008 From cata i; the Poronyine Advance Fyles .

Miss Harkness again. won a ‘scholarship by that year‘s work, while Miss Audrey Bourne also achieved a similar distinction.. Mr. Tanner announced that Miss Bourne was the winner of t‘he Halperin Gold medal, besides the Wilâ€" liamson No. 2 scholarship and Miss Harkness, the winner of the Robert Simpson scholarship, Toronto univerâ€" sity. ~â€"The following appeared in The Adâ€" vance ten years ago:â€""As suggested in The Advance as probable, the missing balloonists from ‘the Gorden Bennett Balloon Race have all been located now in the North. Two of the balloonists came down last week in Northern Queâ€" _ 3A Aih ...bA t ts mt i C dsc $ zx bec and the other two about fifty miles north of Sudbury. It will be rememâ€" bered that some years ago two United States balloonists were lost in the air but were eventually located at Moose Factory where they were forced down. In that case the balloon drifted along 2 line very similar to the course taken by the two missing balloons las? week. A gafie caused the ‘ballom;_ to crash, Among the local and personal itemsl appearing in The Advance ten years ago were the following:"Bornâ€"A+ St. Mary‘s hospital to Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Aston, of 67 Sixth avenue, Timmins on THursâ€" Gay, Sept. Tthâ€"a son." "Mrs. Celia Pigeon, 1% Spruce street north, was called to Quebec province on Saturday last owing to the serious illness of her father. Mrs. Pigcon is expected back in the course of a week." "Miss Eva Monck leaves this week to attend Norâ€" mai School at North Bay.." Mrs. Chas Empie and daughter Alice, of North Bay, paid a visit to Mrs. Ernie Price this week.‘" "Mr. and Mrs. H. Traver were visitors to Kapuskasing this week, makâ€" ing the trip by motor." "Mrs. Ethel Keene, Assembly President of Ontario. left on Sunday to pay her official visit in the South and West." ' the basket being caught in the top of a tree. The two flyers were in the bush and not being wise to bush, were in serious condition, making many unsucâ€" cessful attempts to find their way out, At some points they were only eight miles from a railway line but they had no way of. knowing this. Eventually they found an Abitibi Canyon power line and tried to cut a wire so it would attract attention but they were unsucâ€" cessful so they cut down the poll, causâ€" ing a short circtiit, and : bringing a patâ€" rolman to the scene. He found the no‘e left by the balloonists and soon found them just about exhausted after being in the bush from Sept. 3rd to Sept. 10th. They were looked after and arrangeâ€" ments were made to take them out." â€" With the tag end of summer vacaâ€" tions, the Prime Minisier on the move between Quebec, Washington and Otâ€" tawa, thess have been dog days for news in Ottawa, although it‘s business as usual with government and departâ€" mental and bureaux activities continue apace. There was even a little flurry over the Prices Board decision to cut out the hot dog "roll"; it was even pressâ€"rumoured that public indignation was causing the Board to reconsider its decision, but that was promptly denied by the Boardâ€"one of the few times it has come out publicly to bother denyâ€" ing vague rumours. Among the vast, sprawling temporary buildings which the war has brought to Ottawa one finds that Munitions Eupply occupies a considerable part with thousands busily engaged in this important activity.. M. S. as it is known here sounds humdrum, unimâ€" portant, but it has a tremendous job. Take just the purchase of food for the armed forces aloneâ€"one item. I am tfold that for ‘the first five months of 1943 this department negotiated the purchase of 22,000 tors of meat; 41,000 tons of vegetables; 16,000 tons of bread; 3,200 tons butter; 7,250,000 dozen eggs; 800 tons coffeo and tea; 4000 tons evaâ€" porated milk. See how it‘s growing, compare the 22,000 tons of meat for 5 months as against the total of 32,500 for ali of the year 1941.

The spade work is done by subâ€"committees and in the past twa years has already turned in some searching repor‘s on many phases of the war effort. I talked with the Chairman recently, Hughes Cleaver (Liberal, Halton) and he feels the committee has a tremendously imâ€" portant function, and Re likes the way members of all political affiliations get together around the committee table and dig into a job. He is a devotee of canoeing, lots of sunshine and his ‘annâ€" ed, brick red face shows he‘s stored up lots of energy for the work ahead. There are 24 Members of Parliament on the Committee. The Bureau of Statistics here states Canada closed its 1942â€"43 crop year with a carryâ€"over of 601,500,000 bushels of wheatâ€"121 million bushels greater than the previous record carryâ€"over up to June 31, 1941. You know an unusual feature this past crop year was the fact that almost a third was carried over on the farms. An outstanding developâ€" ment was the use of wheat for animal feed and by distilleries for industrial alcohol. It is interesting to know that in the past crop year, too, the people of Canada only consumed about half as much wheat as went into animal feed and alcohol production. It was estiâ€" mated that nearly 8 million bushels of wheat were used for alcohol productlon making 14 milltion gallons. Russell Smart, real property adminisâ€" trator here, has warned that if the pressure qpntinues on areas where there is a shortage of housing it may be neâ€" cessary to consider regulations restrictâ€" ing movement of families to these areas.. Of course. yolu ‘all ‘Enow “deficiency housing‘ aregs" exist,in such places . as Halifax, Ottawa, Torohtb ‘‘Vancouver, Victoria. This is an appeal which could be well heeded all over Canada, much as it is regretted that families have to be separated due to war exigencies, In O:tawa for instance, the housing regisâ€" try has 1850 applications for uni‘s and only 25 vacancies. Of the new applicaâ€" tions it was shown that 309 are from heads of families in the armed forces and 227 in civilian occupations. â€"The tales one hears of "house chasing‘"‘ in Ottawa (as well as in ‘other centres) are really tragic. I have seen ads. in the local papers where they offer as high as $100 reward for information leading to getting accommodation. The moral: stay at home if you possibly can. It may not be soup and fish news but Jack Johnson, the great coloured pugiâ€" list of former days and once champion of the world, visiting in Ottawa has been 4 addressing service clubs quite neatly and making personal appeatrâ€" ances helping to sell War Bonds, as his contribution to the war effort. Just goes to show everyone can do something Statiotics seem to grow on trees in Ottawa, but they usually show some exâ€" tensive phase of our widespread econâ€" cmy. Here‘s something interests_rural people. There are J2 projects, or phases of farm work under study on the 161 Illustration Stations and 45 District Experimental Stations throughout the Dominion in 1942, and during that year 148 field days were held when nearby farmers visited the stations with a total attendance of about 20,000 persons, or an average of 131 per meeting. Neighâ€" bouring farmers are, of course, welcome to visit the stations at any time and observe how the projects suitable to their own districts are progressing. Up at my home Station in Swift Current, Sask., it is nothing unusual to have 2000 people at the annual field day. Director of National Selective Service Arthur MacNamara says that sooner or later an order will be issued requiring employers to satisfy themselves that all nmale employees in age and marital classes designated under Mobilization regulations have papers to show that‘ they have been rejected or discharged from the Forces, of otherwise that they have complied with the Regulations.

The story of this unusual funeral is told in detail in The New Liskeard Speaker last week, as follows:â€" Temagami Factor Buried "A funeral procession akin to that of the Vikings of old was witnessed on Lake Temagami last week, when the remains of William B. Gourlay, FPactor at the Hudson‘s Bay Post at Bear Isâ€" land who was accidentally drowned some days previously, was held by a water route to the burial ground on the Island. A large "pointer," the type of boat used by lumbermen in *their operâ€" ations was requisitioned to convey the casket, the chief mourners, palibearers and officiating clergymen from the Turâ€" ner Wharf, near St. George‘s Anglican Church where the funeral service was held, to the cemetery on another part of the Island. Body of William Gourlay Taâ€" ken by "Pointer" to Temaâ€" ‘"The craft carrying the casket was followed by a number of boats and canoes, with residents of the Island and summer visitors, and the whole procesâ€" sion imade an imposing spectacle, acâ€" cording to Rev. John H. Watson, of St. Paul‘s Church, Haileybury, who, with Key. Norman Thornton and Mr. Allan Read, student preacher at Bear Island, conducted the services. The casket piled high with flowers, was in the cenâ€" tre of the boat. "The late Mr. Gourlay was born in the Orkney Islands and had spent many in Canada, although only a comâ€" parative newcomer to Temagami. He is the second Scouttish Factor to be buried in the Bear Island cemetery, old resiâ€" dents there say, the former being a Mr. McLean who died some years ago. Mr. Gourlay was unmarried, and his closest surviving relative in this country is a foster son, Jim Turner, who is on active service in the army, but who was given leave to attend the funeral. "It was estimated that 125 people attended the funeral, many of them Inâ€" dian residents, and a party of Indians carried the casket from the church to the wharf. Only a footpath leads from the church to the cemetery, this acâ€" counting for the necessity of the boat trip. "A verdict of accidental death was returned at the inquest, held last Wedâ€" nesday in Temagami, the coroner‘s jury reporting to Dr. A. E. Ranney of North Bay that Mr. Gourlay probably suffered a heart attack and fell into the water. Text of the verdict reads: "That William Brown Gourlay came to his death by drowning some time between 11.30 p.m., Thursday, August 26, and 7 a.m., Friday, August 27. From evidence submitted, it appears that during the boat trip from Bear Island to Camp Chimo, the deceased was lying in the rear of the boat in company ‘with an Indian guide, as they were tired and wished to go to sleep. "They were covered up with a blanâ€" ket. On arriving at Camp Chimo, the driver of the boat, George Turner, also lay down and went to sleep, which is often the custom. It is thought that the deceased suffered a heart attack, as he had done before, and rose up in the boat to get assistance, when he acâ€" cidentally tumbled out of the boat into the water. sources of succulence for winter use.
