A New- Stunt—Down in Halifax a novel way is suggested to have taxes paid. ,It is proposed that all who are lu arrears in tax payments and who possess automobiles be prohibited from using then- in the city until their taxes are paid up. Service Stripes—Passengers on the Canadian National Railway .here have recently been wondering -the ,signif- icance of the -stripes and ample leaves that are appearing ,on the sleeves of of passenger 'conductors and brake- men, A system of recognition of ser- vice as carried out on other railways has been adopted. For every five years' service., up to 25 years a con- ductor is allowed a gold stripe on his sleeve. Atter 25; years a maple leaf is added for every five years. The same applies to the brakemen, only the lat- ter are given silver instead of gold stripes.

The entrance examinations 'commence on iWednes• day, June 24, and continue for three days. Grammar, writing and geog- graphy are the subjects for the first day; arithmetic and literature dor the second day, and composition, spelling and history on the last' day.

The Same rude applies to mobile organiza- tions which rely upon -the interest the public takes in them for 'their success, A good many local organim'tions over. look the opportunity that might ba freely theirs to get a lot of good -pub- licity through the local newspaper. For instance secretaries tor• fraternal organizations might hand in lists 01 newly elected . officers for publication without having to have this Informa- tion pried out of him by a., painful pro- cess: There are a hat of happenings connected with various organizations that are of the nature of inte:estun news and that would be gladly ac- cepted for publication. But in many cases the officers of the organization who know about these things let the opportunity get by them. Junior University Course. --The an- nouncement that Junior University. work may be turned over to repres- entative High Schools throughout the Province is one that has been expected for some time. The recent stiffening up of Upper School work pointed in ,brat direction. University.attendance has been swelling to great figures and it is felt chat an immense saving would be made both for the Province and for ,parents and students by taking Iitst. year and perhaps second year work In the home town, wont(' not go so far as to say that equally good results will be secured under -the new ar- rangement. Life at the University outside of the lecture hall cote -Mutes an important part of the student's ed- ucation, At the same time the great cost at the present time 'places a Univ- ersity education out of rthe reach of many worthy students while the over- crowding threatens to interfere ser- iously with the, efficiency of the Univ- ersity. The public will expecte of course that the Province rather than the municipalities, will bear the, larger. share of the cost of adding 10 the Work of High Schools. While there ,will be good a saving at Toronto, 'there will be substantially larger expenditure necessary at loosl centres for more highly trained teachers which will 'greatly increase the cost of those sec- ondary schools;` where Junior Univer- sity work is to be taken. • GO ER1CH ,- The inisslon field stations of .Uniau' arid Leaburn both voted for OJlurch Uelon, according -to H.
