A WINDY DAY IN TILE WOODS
By Grace Noll Crowell
Autumn day—and a high wind blow'-
ing
A dazzle of boughs on the clear,
bright blue,
The ;scarlet tips of the thinned
]paves showing
The drip of blood where the sun
shines through;
And this aching, blinding', yellow
light
That dazzles and robs the eyes of
sight.
A' sweep, a swirl—and a flame of
madness,
The .edd'woods loud with an ancient
call;
Phe spirit of :fire,,and slnolce and
gladness
Runs' wild with the- wind .above it
all—
With the wind in the maddest, glad
dent race
Through the maze of this gold and
scarlet: place.
Colour and sound and the voice of
laughter,: ;
The shout of the trees and the
grasses? acing;; f,
A clamoring day that forever after
Will beat at the.beart like a quick-
struck- gong
uickstruck-gong
An..exaltation--a flame—a call—
A canvas to hang upon a sunlit wall.
Women generally will be .pleased
with the result of the appeal to the
Privy Council eegardm
'ing the eaning
of the word "persons" who are eli-
gible to sit in the. Sente. The Cana-
dian courts deicreed that the term
did not embrace women, that, in
short, women -were not persons: But
the highest court in the Empire has
decided otherwise, Women are per-
sons.
What started the discussion was.
the questions- whether women were
eligible to appointment to the Cana-
dian Senate and Canadian courts de-
cided that according' to the B.N.A.
they were not, that the word "per-
sons" meant male persons . only.
Well, a number of Western women,
(these Western women are up and
coming, and they want to know the
bald truth), carried the matter to
the Privy Council The result was in
some doubt, and Premier King prom-
ised that if the matter went against
the women he would move for an
amendment to the B.N.A. But that
is now unnecessary, women are on
an equality with men as to eligibil-
ity to become senators.. But, ,of.
course, only a limited number, pro
bably only a very limited num'ber
will be appointed, so . don't crowd
please.
Of course, the dear old chaps who
framed the B.N.A. had no thought
of women when they drew up that
historical document. They never
thought of women becoming so
bold and brazen as to want to sit in
the Senate,^orin Parliament. Bat
wouldn't the poor dears turn in their
graves if they 'could know what is
gulag in the World not', that is, fin-
less they have grown in tolerance
since they left this mortal sphere?
That they, the framers of the B.N.
A., had nob thought of women when
they put in the word, "persons," we
may take for granted. But Why
didn't they write it "men" Looks
almost like a Providential arrange-
ment, to save tampering with the
B.N.A.; doesn't it?
With all this fussing about Wo-
men's Rights" :some people seer" to
be afried of a sex war and the Bish-
op of Manchester issues a warning
to the National Council of Women: to
do{ all possible to prebent a.`struggl'e
for mastery between men and -wo-
men.
If there is 'any danger such as
the Bishop sees women, with their
quick disernrnent, should see it and,
with their good judgment, endeavor
to preveint it. It will largely depend
upon women to keep the relations
between the sexes peaceful and
sweet.
When God put our first parents' in
the Garden of Edin it seems to One
there was no ruling as to who should
be first. They were to work togeth-
er. The woman was to be the help-
meet of man, his nue). surely. And
there seems to mo to be no reason
Why they cannot work together still
to make this old world a better
Place in which to live. Men should
bei willing to give to women their
rightful place in the world, and -wo-
men should be willing to ,fill that
place in a way to bring, so far as it
is possible, hette2pnent, more com-
fort, happinebs and well being to
the world. It were a sorry thing if
women should use their fine energies
fighting fox the privilege of being
selfish or self-seeking.

"Since Purity is a strong, rich dour, with great expanding
qualities use 1 tablespoon less per cup if your cake recipe
calls for ordinary pastry or soft wheat dour. If is calls for
milk, usehalf milk and half water (lukewarm) with Purity.

HOW LONG WILL WE' LIVE?
Statisticians are able -to prove to
us that, on' the average, a child born
today will likely live to 55 years of
age instead of to 40 years, which
was the casd in the middle of the
past century,. This has been brought
about _chiefly by better care'. of in-
fanta, a tretii,endous reduction in the
di£ri•hoeas of children which used to
take such a heavy toll ofinfant life,
pure water, safe milk and improved
sanitary conditions,.
There has not been a correspond-
ing increase in the expectation of
life among adults. The expectation
of life at 50 years of age is not ap-
preciably greater today than it was.
during thepast century. One in-
teresting point that we 'learn is that
persons who live, long comm, in gen-
eral, of long-lived families. This
does not mean that a inemb'er of a
long-lived family is more likely to
recover froin an 'attack of an acute
disease, but rather that if he or she
does escape from an^attack of an
acute disease), such as those which
destroy life in infancy and early
adult years, such a Person will be
Man likely •to live to advanced
years,,.
Mtany people have the idea that
halth work's sole aim is to prolong
life. This is only partially true, be-
cause the ideal sought is rather
healthier years than more years.
Because health and happiness.are
so closely linked together, it may be
fairly -said that the objective of
iipalth is not to prolong life
but to make people happier while
they live.
We do not know why some famil-
ies have what we might call' greater
vitality' and so live longer than the
average. We do not know why Old
Parr lived. to 152 years, It may be,
of course. that Dnany years have
been added to his life in the re -tell-
ing of "his story. Ws do know, how-
ever, that, to the adult who desires
to increase the expectation of years
tlf health„ we . can say—moderation
in all things is essential and above
all, in food. An interest in iife "rust
be maintained whether it is in work
or in play, such as a hobby. Worry
must be cast out as it is the thing
which wears out the machine.
Questions. concerning health, ad-
dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 184 College Street, Toron-
to, will be answered personally by
letter.

,M'r. J. G. 1411cEech'ern B,A., of Lon-
don gave his paper an "Tice Prepar-
ation for the Teaching of Liteiatui•e,'
In studying a poem the pupils want
to be led to feel as the poet felt and
to see what the poet saw. The tea-
cher should know the circumstances
under which each poem was written.
Such an understanding of the au-
thorship ,enables the teacher to lead
the pupil to see the beauty of the
poem. 'There should be no moraliz-
ing in Literatutie, Teachers .should
know the ;author, what he thinksof
life, the age in which he lived, and
how the thoughts therein contained
and a production. of .that age. With.
out a real love for the subject- the
tebehing will fall far short of its
aim., _
Miss Sharman comhnented on the
paper and moved a vote trf'thanks to
Mr, McBee:hern, In the discussions

ing the Teacher's Library, which

Hayter rendered a pleasing solo
which broke the monotony of the
session. Mr. Roy Stonehouse of
Goderieh discussed the merits of the
present Canadian History and was of
the opinion that it meets with gen-
eral favor. A -vote of opinion being
taken on the text showed the major-
ity in favor of it.
The Resolution Committee present-
ed its report as follows: That a
transfer card preferably the A.H.P.
card be used by all pupils moving
from, and school to another.These
cards to be supplied by the Depart-
ment of Education.
