POLITICAL WISDOM "Father, what travels this road so late?" "Hush, ny child, 'tis the candidate. Fit examples of human woes— Early he comes and late he goes; He greets the worne•t with courtly grace, He kisses the baby's dirty face, Be calls to the fence the farmer at work, He bores the merchant, he bores the clerk, The blacksmith while the anvil rings, He greets, and this is the song he. sings. "Howdy, howdy, howdy dot How is your wife, and how are you? Ab! it fits my fist as no other can, The horny handof the working tnan." "Husband, who is that man at the gate?" "Hush, my love, 'tis the candidate." "Husband, why can't he work lace you? Has he nothing at hone to do?" "My dear, whenever a man is down, No cash at home, no money in town, Too stupid to preach, too proud to beg, Then over his horse his leg he flings, And tc the dear people this song he sings: "Howdy, howdy, howdy do? How is your wife, and how are you? Ah! it fits my fist as no other can, The horny hand of the working man." Brothers, who labor early and late, Ask these things of the candidate: What's his record? How does he stand At home? No matter about his hand, Be it hard or soft, so it is not prone . To close over money not his own. Has he in view no thieving plan? Is he honeet and capable? — he is our man; Cheer such one till the welkin rings, Join in the chorus when thus he 1 sings: Yours sincerely, WM. Is31sTEli.

Judge Fielding. SCHOOL INSPECTOR'S REPORT The following is the report of In- spector Field's official visit to Wii gham Public School on September 27th and. November 29th and 30th:— There have been two changes on the staff of your school since my visit last term. The response of your Principal, Mr. Posliff, to the call of King and country left a vacancy which, was filled by a member of the staff, Miss M. L. Brock. Her place was taken by Miss Mabel MacDonald. All the teachers have permanent second class cerificates. Miss Butler qualified at a summer session held in London as a teacher of Kindergarten Primary, and holds a certificate to that effect from the Education Department. The staff is working in harmony and the Principal is getting their best support. The congestion of pupils in the senior room makes satisfactory organization difficult. I arranged changes when I visited the school in September, but they were only partially carried out and the difficulties of the teacher affected were increased for the time on that account; however, as the conditions are better understood now, I hope less difficulty will be met. The average attendance is lower than at any time for several years; this is due to sickness and to a fear of diphtheria, of which there were still a few cases in your town. The class discipline as well as the general discipline in the halls and play- ground, are quite satisfactory; while the attendance has been poor, the pro- gress and proficiency of the pupils are fairly well up to the average. I expect that the Board will have reason to be satisfied with the Entrance results next year. The standard equipment for Public Schools is given on pages 20 and 21 of the Public School Regulations, 1915. It is necessary to make up any deficiency early next term, as the Education De- partment has ruled that the prompt payment of further grants depends on the completeness of the equipment. Your school is lacking in some few re- spects; a list can be secured from the Principal. The caretaking is satisfactory; the school throughout was clean and comfortable. Re Organized Board of Trade. A meeting of the business men of the town was held in the Council Chamber on Monday morning when arrangements for the horse fair, Tuesday, were com- pleted. It was decided to continue the horse fair once a month during the winter months. It was also decided to discontinue the business Men's Associ- ation and after the holidays hold a gen- eral meeting of the citizens ofithe town with a view to re -organizing the Board of Trade. s • Married in E6e" Wes A -quiet weddihit t&u' place on Tues- day, December 12th, at the First 13 aptist Church Parsonage h, Calgary, Alta., when Miss Esther Grace Patter- son, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R.
