They take their meals at Miss Peck's. Timothy snakes friends with a new teacher, Susan Barney, and her younger sister, pelia. Now Timothy has received a letter from a disagree- able trustee of the academy, Mr. Wheaton, calling him to New York.: The afternoon before this trip to the city. Timothy came into the house late. • Without taking off Inc:over- coat, without turning on. a light, he dropped down on the chair in the hall corner closed his eyes and tried to re- lax.

"Hello,, Jules, How do you do?" said Mr. Hulme," but his eyes cried, "Oh! rescue me! Help me to escape!" They turned back into the expensive sitting room, and sat down.

Professor Hulme followed the streamlined secertary into The Pre- sence and was placed in a Louis XV armchair (which had cost, he had often calculated, as much as two months of his salary).- The two men silently despising each other shook hands and exchanged greetings. Then the Principal got to business began his report, and in a moment was being told that he had made .au enormous mistake in.admi-etin'g a Jew- ish boy as a student. T. C. said in a 'rather loud voice to run no risk of not being heard, "This particular boy I've just accept- ed struck me es very likable, and ---for' a boy—civilized. In my opinion it is a good thing to give our isolated. Ver- mont young people some contact with natures that have good points differ- ent'from their own." "How do you mean—civilized?" ' Mr. Wheaton challenged him. -"One of those precious, smart aleck book- worms, I suppose." "Here's where I get his goat?" thought the schoolsteacher, yielding to a cheap temptation, and aloud, with a poker face, said seriously, "I wouldn't say he was bookish. I- was referring to a certain sensitive fineness of per- sonality—he was gentler to a tire- some mother than any Yankee boy would be—and lie was a living percep- tion of musical values. To come in contact with these qualities would be very wholemosme for the esthetic ig- norance and blunt roughness of most of our Vermont students." He sat back, smiling inwardly. To push one of the buttons which made Mr. Whegton go into the air gave Timothy Hulme a malicious pleasure he could not resist—the pleasure of contempt. "Let me tell you, T. C., let -me - tell -you, that we want no effete Eur- opean party ideas corrupting our Am- erican he -boys into—" ON A PICTURE I found it folded in an old brown book, Among things faded, dusty and for - souk, And at the face I could not help but look, Tim pushed, it from a parlor table, where. For long it stood, and with the tend- erest care 'l'was handled, as some loved one. viewed it there. From home to home it went, as the owner moved, Taking the treasures that the family loved.— At length Chance it to this dim re- , gion shoved. She had it taken on a Summer 'day; 'Twos long before Time's thieving took away' That hair's young gold, done in that girlish way. She dressed, for it and .tied that rib- lion so,' And stood before 'the mirrnr, all aglow;. The style says it was fifty years ago., 'Twas given and .received --a kindly thought Eyes lit with joy on getting it, I, wot; Now giver and receiver are forgot? Oblivion of its history left tie trace, But then,'it serves its day, recalled her face, Then 'mong forgotten things it found a place. ' But the trouble with making Mr, Wheaton roar was that the sound of his voice, no matter what it said, al- ways tuned to a higher .pitch his cer- tainty of being,. right. What he was shouting about the value of plain old - American -stock character by God con pared to the slippery, superfluities of the arts pleased him so much that by the time he stopped to pour himself a glass of water from the silver -moun- ted thermos bottle he felt a mellow man -of -the -world compassion for the poor teacher from the backwoods. When the time Game for the us- ual hand-to-hand battle over salaries and wages, the fight was hotter even than usual, the second dipof the de- pression and troubles with investments serving as plain proofs of the right. ness of Mr.'Wheaton's ideas of thrift. Mr. Wheaton, running his eye down pie faculty names, frowned, cried "All that money for a -teacher of Do - 'nestle Science" (he made the words a sneer) "That's just poppycock, T. C. The place for girls to learn home- making is at their mother's knee. Now cut out those two salaries for that feel Manual Training and Dom- estic Science and there'd be en- ough to pay a real salary to a crack- erjack athletic coach that'd put my dear old school on the map."

Nature has been generous but we must help ourselves. Our mines are rich, but undermanned. By Proclamation, His Excellency the Governor General in Council has declared that labour supply for coal mines ranks as a national emergency. Further, in order to provide man- power for coal, the Governor in Council has issued an Order in Council aimed at swelling the flow of coal from mine to firepot. This Order is of vital interest to everyone in Canada. Every Canadian should read and study its •provisions, to see whether it demands any action on his part: 1 EVERY EMPLOYER, REGARDLESS OF HIS INDUSTRY, must advise his employees of these Regulations, and he must assist in discovering whether any of his employees have had previ- ous experience as coal mine workers. 2 EVERY EMPLOYEE, REGARDLESS OF HIS INDUSTRY, who has had previous experience as a coal mine worker, must report that fact to his employer not • later than Tuesday, May 25th, 1943. 3 A "COAL MINE WORKER" FOR THESE PURPOSES is anyone who, since January 1st, 1935, has worked under provincial certificate or license in or around a coal mine, or who, since the same date, has been cin• ployed for n total of et least 24 months in the production of coal (except at office work). 4 EVERY EMPLOYER, NOT A COAL MINE OPERATOR, must report in writing to a Selective Service Officer not later than Tuesday, Juno hat, 1943, full details on any of his employees who are ex -coal mine workers. �i SELECTIVE SERVICE OFFICERS el ARE AUTHORIZED to require ex -coal mine workers to report for interview and to accept work at a coal mine. da SELECTIVE SERVICE` OFFICERS MAY REQUIRE any man in any em- ployment, if subject to Mobilization Regulations but rejected for Military Training, and certain others' excused from Military Training, to accept em- ployment at a coal mine. sate NO COAL MINE OPERATOR may terminate the services of any coal mine worker without written permission from a Sele S Officer.NO COAL MINE WORKER may leave U v employment at a coal .mine without written permission from a Selective Service Officer. 9 EVERY EX -COAL MINE WORKER, returning to the industry under these Regulations, will be paid wages at the established rate for the job at which he is placed; and the Government will pay' wages of 40 cents an hour, '8 hours a day and 48 hours a week, to any ex -coal' mine worker required to leave his present employn,ent ander these provisions, but not placed int - mediately at coal mining. 10 A BOARD ALLOWANCE of not more than 87.50 a week may be paid an ex -coal mine worker now returning to a coal mine, if required to live away from the residence of his dependents. 1PRESENT AND FUTURE COAL MINE 11 WORKERS will be granted postpone- ment . from Military Training to February 1st, 1944, by virtue of their occupations and no coal mine worker will be accepted for voluntary enlist- ment in the Armed Forces of Canada, prior to February 1st, 1944, except under permit to enlist from a Selective Service Officer.
