A change was made in High
School Examinations. In former
years students were requireci,to
make no less than 40 per cent
on any•paper and a general aver-
age of 60 per cent on all. A new
ruling was made requiring students
to make 50 per cent or more on
' all papers, getting credit for each
subject passed. previously if the
student failed one subject (below
40'%), he or she, would•have to
repeat the whole year's
around the time of the 1914-1918
war. , She'had been carefully
educated and was not really pre-
pared for any professional Work,
but she was ambitious and strong
a.nd was not afraid -to tackle any-
thing - work or pe9ple or the bush.
She went to work as "Compan-
ion-help to Superintendent's wife
in a mining camp". And that is
the start of the story. From there

If yoU can find the book, I am

enough Canadian books and mag-
