Casual observers called it a water spout, while more learned souls insisted that a meteor had precipitated itself into the lake even going so far as to suggest that the temperature of that body of water had been considerably increased by the presence of the fiery visitor. Some enthusiasts regret that they did not dive after the disturber. Whatever the nature of the phenomenon, its appearance was most spectacular. A fennel stretched from the surface of the lake far up into the laden sky, while the water beluw boiled and churned upward. . STANLEY. 114r.

'l'o the Editor of the Globes -There is one department of the Ontario Gov- eriment that deeds reorganization, and that is the Education Department, At the time of the teachers' con- vention, the Minister of Education sprung a surprise on the teachers and book -sellers when he announced that there would be a new Ancient History and Latin book ready for the school opening in September, notwithstanding that no previous notice had been given the trade that these books were to be changed. This sante minister now not- ifies the teachers in a June circular that he has authorized other new zooks as web, viz„ High School Arithmetic and Public School Grammar, and that these will introduced at once. He also gives notice that in the future the Public School History of Canada and Public School History of England will be published 111 one volume. Why should such sudden changes take place? Sorely the interests of retail book- sellers should be cocsdered sufficient- ly that they would be g,ivet at least 8 year's notice before new books are issued in order to avoid the unneces- sary loss, especially when at the pre- sent time the trade are acting as "dis- tributors of Public School books with- out• salary" and many times at a direct loss. !n the matter of the new histories thls item alone will mean 8 consider- able loss, as atltnost every dealer will be left with dozens of copies of either tate Canadian or English History in single volume, ;and 1105 able to se- cure tory more except the combined edition. We would suggest that Premier Hearst call a convention of school principals and retail hook -sellers if he needs any further evidence that Itis Education Department needs re- organizing. A. T.

Canadian homes will no longer have difficulty in following the Canadian troops in Prance. There has just been issued a trap of the European War area that clearly shows every point of interest that has been mentioned in despatches since the Canadian forces first landed in France. It has been made specially for the great Canadian Weekly, The Family Hearld and Week. ty Star, of Montreal, and is a credit indeed to Canadian enterprise. It is a marvel of detail and yet not crowded. It is in four colors and about 2 1 1-4 feet and folded into a very neat cover, about 5x10 inches. The Map is surround- ed by a border of the regimental badges and creat or arms of nearly every batta- lion that left Canada, from Halifax to Vancouver. !every important point can be recognized at once. That portion of. the map covering France is in a soft color with names of Towns and Battle scenes in black, easily, recognizable The Map is endorsed by returned Military experts as most complete and accurate in detail. The Map could not be pro. cttred, except in such large quantities as The Family Hearld will use, at less than two dollars a copy, yet it can be had absolutely free with Tile Fancily ]Iearld. The publishers of The Family Herald and Weekly Star for several months back have been fighting hard against the nec- essity of increasing their subscription rates, but eventuaily had to conte to it like most other papers. Tile increase, however, is a mere trifie-twentyfive cents a year, making their new rate $1..25- and with the year's subscription they will include a copy of this great war map free of charge. Tits is certainly a generous offer, and one that Canadians will appreciate, Many expected a muds larger increase in the subscription price of The Family Ffearld and are surprised at the small extra amount charged. The enormous circulation of The Fam- ily Hearld and Weekly Star should be sknotill wgrneater when this offer becomes The new rate for the New Era. artd Family I-fearld and FVeckly Star is 82.25.
