Because it has been the hale - it of some .merchants to look upon it as an expense; a wrong view has been grained. Perhaps the misconcep- tion arose from the fact that in bookkeeping it has been the habit to charge advertising to expense. Ad- vertiSiti;• urau+ntes uew bnsmness—it swells the volume of business and profit—therefore it is an iuvestment, Only the man who. looks upon adver- tising as an expense, who is afraid of it, prejudiced against it, loses money in advertising.

At nine o'clock on June 2Sth. the senior fourth pupils from the public schools and the separate schools will file in trepidation into the examination hall and the bravest will hold his breath though he may not acknow- ledge it, the assistants will distribute the innocent looking papers which will make or mar the school career of the pupil and the game will be cin. It is a test to be sure but as school life is supposed to be train- ing for life. if everything is made too easy the training will not be re - cc eved. The time -table is as follows: Ju. e 28th, a.m.—grammar; p.m.— writing and geography; June 29th, a.m.—arithmetic ; p. m.—literature; June 80th, a.Ti,<_—composition; p.m. —spelling and history. • W.

Skinner, Andrew St., on Monday afternoon, March 29th, There was nota very large attendance but those who were there enjoyed the meeting very much.

C. made a wise choice in sel- ecting her as Supt. for this impor- Tati;. work. Another pleasing feature of the meeting was the splendid report of our delegate to Toronto to the big Alliance convention. Miss Gregory gave a very concise and full report and a very hearty; vote of thanks was tendered her, for the important information given us from the con- vention and the ladies' regretted that this report could not have.been heard by every member of the union, those who were not present. certainly missed a splendid meet- ing.

A decided change in the high school entrance examination sys- tem that will . do much to eliminate dissatisfaction with that system has been approved and will take effect this year. Hon. R. H. Grant, Minister of Education has announced that under the uew plan High School En- trance Boards will be left free to decide whether candidates shall be accepted on the certificates of public school principals or write examina- tions as usual. The Boards will also determiire the couditious under which the principals' certificates are to be accepted. The board inay, in addition, rec- .ommend to the Minister of Education the admission of candidates who in their opinions, are fitted for high school work, even though in certain respects they have failed to attain the required standard at the written examinations. Moreover, those who for adequate reasons were unable'to' write on the examination may have their application for admission to high schools considered by the pub- lic school inspectors and high school principals at any time. The changes include a consider- able alteration and simplification of the existing regulations. The chief complaint has been that admission by high school principals was ham- pered by a requirement that the pro- motion examination papers and re- sults had to be submitted to the Entrance Board and the .result • in the opinion of many was merely air entrance examination of another sort. In future the Entrance Board may dispense with a set form of ex- aminations and accept such recom- mendations from. principals as are deemed satisfactory. ` THE FRISKY BACKBONE ,. The spine of winter beats the band, it is an artful dodger; .at times we think we have it canned 'end made a'graveyard lodger. We Cry,, "The spring has come at last, with robbin, wren and sparrow!" And then there comes a bitter blast that chills us to the marrow. Then in a whitewashed ward we lodge attended by neat nurses, and we are luclty if we dodge a joyride in some hearses. Each year the ' backbone seems to sag, to show that winter's ended; each year it springs the same old gag, and all our hearts are tended. We plant our early spuds and greens, that we may eat in summer; then conies a blast from Arctic scenes that puts them on the hummer. One night last week I went to bed and thought the winter ended; the sky was cloudless oven. Bead, the outlook simply splendid. I thought the backbone had the jar it long had been demanding, and so I didn't drain my ear, but: left the water standing. Oh whiskers I When the morning ring carne, the winter was renascent, the snow was flying round like smoke -1 longed to cuss, but dassaiitl And all my neighbors lead the gripes, those patient watchful waiters; the town was full of frozen pipes, and busted radiators, —13y Walt Mason.
