Dear Charlie I received your letter 0, K, 1 was. eurprieed, but neverthelaee, very much pleased that you bad remembered me. It certainly feels good to hear from one of your esteemed friends away out here on the plaint', especially at a time like this. Friends, or so called friends do not write very often. I think it is a case of out of eight, out of mind. I was very glad to hear that you left everybody ou Gladstone Ave. alright audio good health. I had only one letter front John so far. I think be might have written more often as we will not be here very long. It is very difficult for me to he regular in my correspondence, as I am very busy. I have a great deal of very important, work to look after, and am also study- ing for my commission. Wo are still under canvas, and all the camps are knee-deep in mud and it simply pours rain every day so you can imagine the condition,' which we have to combat with. It gets on one's nerves some- times, but we have our hearts in it and manage to keep things going, wearing a pleascnt smile, and meeting hardships as they come. Ihad a very pleasant trip to London at Cbrietmay time, say Cbarlie that's some burg. I certainly wish you had keen with me, it would have opened your eyes, New York is not in it. Well Charlie, I think I have said all I can this time, as there is nothing very exalting hap- pens here, and I sincerely trust you will let me bear from you again soon. I remain your true, friend.

Last week the Literary Society held' an open discussion on "How to make Faun Life Attractive - to the Boy" which resulted in one of the most in- teresting and ht 1p01 meetings that the society has ever had. She subject was discussed from many different as- pects considering the influence on the boy of the parents, the home, the farm work, the echool and the social life of the community. Mr. George McDon- ald gave au extended outline of the theme in the opening paper and his conclusions were supported or criticis- ed by a large number of other speak. ere. Mre. Jos. Breckenridge, Presi- dent of the Women's Institute, thought Mre McDonald had been too hard on ibe women and made a spirited defence in their behalf, which W48 received with much applause. R,hr. Black said the early father's had found that the way to make the boys stay on the farm was to keep nem so busy tee couldn't get away, R!bt. Musgrove pointed out- from his own experiences the disadvantages of many city occupations such as those of labourers, factory workers and de- paattmental store clezke which he ehought would never prove attractive to country boys if they knew the rea- conditions.

Mr. John Hutton, president of the Literary Society, then took the chair, and the minutes were read and adopt- ed,. The first number on the program was an instrumental by the Misses N, Christie and N.

Ile is the only boy in the school who plays this instrument, and his sel- ections are always appreciated. The Journal was read by G. Cruickshank. The selection by the Quartette was ex- ceedingly well given, and we hope that it will favour us again. The prophet. Mr. C. MacLean, based his address on the war, and after sum- ming up conditions at the present ime, staked his reputation on the op- inion, that before next October, Ger- many would be seeking peace. Mr, Adam McBurney acted as critic and gave his candid opinion about every- thing. God Save the King. Seeds FREE TO FARMERS—Do you grow corn ?
