.FINE FRONTIER WORK
STILL GOES 0
The following article under th
above heading appeared in the Ma
and Empire and as it contains mac
information about a former loco.
man, E. W. Bradwin, M.A., Ph.D
we are printing it so that all in thi
district will have an opportunity of
reading the article,
Mr. Bradwin was the son of Mr'
and Mrs. Joseph Bradwin, for many
years residents of Wingham. He at-
tended the public school here and re-
ceived his third class certificate •un-.
der A. H. Musgrove, now local Post-
master. He later taught school for
., four years at the Alps school in Cul-
ross, after which he went to Toronto
furthering his education and taking
up "Frontier Work."
"We have a communication from
His Honor Joseph Wearing, Senior
County Judge of London, Ontario,
stating that at the annual meeting of
the board of governors of the Fron-
tier College, with headquartrers in
Toronto, Mr. Alfred Fitzpatrick; M.
A., the founder of the College, re-
signed from the position of principal
after thirty-three years' service. He
was appointed 'principal emeritus and
will continue to back what has been
his life work. E. W. Bradwin, M.A.
Ph.D., who has been associated with
Frontier College work since .1904,
both in the capacity of laborer -teach-
er and as supervisor of the field, was
appointed as Mr. Fiztpatrick's succes-
sor. '
Mr. Fitzpatrick must be given cre-
dit for introducing completely new
ideas itfto the field of adult educa-
tion.. Through the unique system of
the Frontier College students and
graduates leave Canadian universities
for camps on the hinterland—mining,
construction, hydro, fishing, lumber-
ing and railway—in fact labor camps
of all sorts and varieties. These men
sent out by the Frontier College be-
come Iaborer-teachers. During the
day they work with pick, shovel, axe,
or canthook for 10 hours and some-
times Longer at hard manual labor.
During the evenings they will be
found in a tent, shack, log cabin or
freight •car fitted amp as a school and
reading -room, giving whole-heartedly
of their best to their fellow -workers.
The motto of every instructor is "A
Better Citizenship for Camp Work-
ers Whether They Be Canadaian or
Foreign -Born."
The importance of this work is fill-
ly realized by thoseemploying camp
laborers, At the present time offic-
ials in charge of highway and avia-
tion camps for the unemployed are
asking for more laborer -teachers than
the .Frontier College can afford to
send out, Tangible results were ac-
complished by the 56 laborer -teach -
era who composed the field staff last
year. The adult workers who enroll-
ed in actual classes numbered ' 2,681.
Their average age was .31, All camp
men not regularly enrolled in actual
class work had the opportunity to
participate in the discussion groups
on Canadian biography and explora-
tion, hygiene, selections from good
literature, natttralization, thrift and
saving, etc,
Judge Wearing, to whorl we are in-
debted for this article, was a laborer
teacher for a number of years before
entering the profession of law, and.
has been actively connected with the
management of the College since that
time. His work on the Bench has
convinced frim that something : more
should be required of European iM
1nligrants applying for naturalization
N than the mere fact that they have
managed tokeep out of jail and the
relief office for a period of five years,
land that., they show no revolutionary
h tendencies.
Mr. Fitzpatrick and Dr. Bradwin
deserve continued public support for
their educational work on behalf of
these "New Canadians," Further, as
Dr, Bradwin says in his book; "The
Bunkhouse Man," "the campinan` is a
national asset. Given good housing
conditions and opportunities for soc-
ial improvement, he will, naturallq,
help to constitute a stable and con-
tented class among the workers of
the Dominion."
THE NIGHT WATCH-
MAN
There a hub -bub in the village,
It has spread • along the street,
Where the natives all stand talking,
As they stamp their freezing feet.
What's this subject of discussion,
What's this verbal repercussion
That the gossips all are gnshin',
To everyone they meet?
Teddy Lewis is no longer
Going to keep the town ,from. harem,
To act as our night-watchman,
And to sound the fire alarm,
To see home the ones belated
If it happened they're inflated
By the juice their friends created
From the products of the farm.
The Town Fathers held a meeting
To relieve the fear and dread
Of a town without protection,
And this is what they said:
"To protect ourselves from fire, sir,
And other things as dire, sir,
Another we must hire, sir,
To take the place of Ted."
Applications, by the dozen,
Were handed to the Clerk,
From the whole surrounding country
By men who wanted work,
There were men whom people rated
Very good, some elongated,
,Some were fat and, antiquated,
Like the European Turk.
There were mien from all the masses,
There were men ofevery creed.
There were men who served their
country
When she was dire in need.
There were men of every fashion,
Men of ire, men of compassion,.
For` the job they all came dashin'
Like the cattle in stampede.
But at last the august council
Held 'a.meeting in the. Hall.
All the members thea decided
They must choose` one from their, all.
Anel, remembering next election,
If we go one
ell astr
Once again the commit gathered,
i3ut this time with trembling sighs,
They had heard the tempest roaring
And the fear was in their eyes,
For they realized with terror
That they had made an error
Anel now nothing could be fairer'
Than that they re -advertise.
Once again Ted's job was open,
Once again the hue and cry.
Each applicant was hopin'
And was out to do or die,
But the council still debated,
While our throbbing hearts pul-
sated
And at last -they only stated
That their; vote came out a tie.
A few more weeks passer over,
Everything seemed going flat,
Wheri a really brilliant council—
(Bet that's enough of that)
Had at last the 'trouble' ended,
And the error they had mended,
They did what they first intended
And had chosen Mr. Platt.
We are sorry Ted is leaving,
There are many who are grieving
That
Father T'
irne is weaving
Silvery hairs beneath his hat—
But why give way to sorrow
And try totrouble borrow
We'll forget it all to -morrow.
Now we're all for Mr. Platt,
Jubilo.
ST.' HELENS
•
On Friday evening the St. Helens
Young People's Society of the 'Unit-
ed Church held.a banquet, in the base-
ment of the church in honor of the
pregressive spirit exhibited by the
Young People.
Over one hundred were present to
enjoy the excellent meal which the
ladies had provided. The tables lad-•
en' with good things to eat, and' in
a gala array of spring' flowers and
rose and mauve crepe paper, •proved
that there was no 'depression' in or
near St, Helens. The decorating of
the tables had been in charge of Mrs.
Wilkinson. , Great 'credit is due to
Misses Greta Webb and Helen Mill-
er for their efforts in providing the
splendid, supper, the chief attraction
of the evening. Mr. Wilson Woods
had loaned his radio and splendid
music
was heard 1 card during supper
su er
hour.
Rev. Mr. Wilkinson, as toastmast-
er, sounded the key note of the ban-
quet in a humorous address on inci-
dents pertaining to the preparations
for the banquet. Following the toast
to the King, the National Anthem
was sung. Mr. Lorne Woods then
proposed the toast to "Our Country."
He emphasized the high ideals to b
found in all phases of Canadian life
He showed that freedom of though
and action was one of the chief char
acteristics of this great part of th
British Empire. Mr. G. S. McIntyr
in his reply, proved himself an adep
story -teller, then gave an interestin
and optimistic talk about the depres
sion, describing it as part of a busi
ness cycle with good times bound to
come in their turn.
A duet
"Flow Gently, Sweet Af-
ton," rendered by Mrs. George Stuart
and Miss Greta Webb, was a pleas-
ing variation in the programme. Mr.
Stanley Todd was then called upon
to propose a toast to the Young Peo-
ple's Society. After a humorous in-
troduction he enumerated some of
the contributions made by the Soc-
iety to the church: a piano, a half
share with Whitechurch in a projec-
tion lantern; hymn books for the pul-
pits, as well as .donations to the man-
aging board to help defray expenses.
In reply, Mr. 'Wallace Miller, pres-
dent, gave a short history of the So-
iety, It was established in 1890,
Rev. Mr. Anderson was the pastor.
In 1895 Rev, S, M. Whaley was the
I?resident, Mr. H. D, Woods, vice-
pres., Mr. Richard A. Miller Treas.,
and Mr. Jas.' Ramage, sec. There
were: 156 on the roll, with an aver-
age attendance of 86. Collections am-
ounted to only .$15,00, but this was
mainly in coppers. Mr. Philip Muller
delighted the audience with . some
German country songs.
Mr. " Wilson Woods had the diffi-
cult task of proposing a toast to the
dies.. Ile toldus that we did not

They, must make a. good selection rl
,Or there would be an insurrection
And the axe would surely fall.
They debated and debated,
They argued up and down,
And at last they all decided
On the one to wear, the crown.
Who would show no fear or favour
To his townsman or his neighbor,
And the villain he'd belabour,
For he came from out of town.
"Ourtownsmen have been slighted,"
Everyone was heard to sayy ,
"And this thing must be righted,
Not to -morrow; but to -day.
We don't want some outside won-
der,
Who may cateh Itis in a blunder,
And who'll surely take otir number
our country to hold a banquet, but
without the ladies there' would be no
banquet. Mrs. Jas. Ramage replied
for the ladies. In keeping with the
humorous speeches of the evening,
she outlined her idea of Canacla's'wo-
nmanhood, and the importance of at-
tempting to tinclerstand the modern
generation. •
(t was left to Mr, John Miller to
bring the evening to a climax by one
of his funniest jokes, After a ;few
Minutes of community singing, .Rev.
Mr, Wilkinson brought' a most en-
joyable evening to a close with a
short prayer,

Greta 'Webb were visitors with Blyth

Hubby was trying to 'balance his
budget. Presently his wife came ac-
ross to hint and presented a list of
her requirements.
He seized it grimly, "More mon-
ey," he sighed. "You're always want-
ing money. This life's like a game
of chess. Nothing but cheque, cheque,
cheque;"
"And," she replied, ."if you don't
give me more money ,it will be even
more like a game of chess, It will
be pawn, pawn, pawn."
Police Inspector (to little Binks,
who has reported that his wife is

Little Binks: "Er—on—thank you."

Little Binks: "Because, if she came
back and found I hadn't done any-
thing about it, she'd half kill mei"
Much -travelled man (to acquaint-

before I left that blazing structure."
Bystander: "But why didn't you
put on your trousers?"
Mark Twain used to relate how he
was once in a court in Georgia when
two negro women asked the judge to
settle a matter for them. They both
claimed the same child.
The judge puzzled until he remem-
bered what Solomon had done in a
similar fix. So, drawing out a long

knife be proposed to cut the child
in half.
Both elements rushed forward sim-
ultaneously, crying; "Don't kill him.
You may have him"
So the judge was as far from a
decision as ever.
The unpaid magistrate who was not
over -intelligent recalled a witness,
"My man," he said sternly, "you may
yet find yourself committed for per-
jury. Only a few moments ago you
told the court that you had only one
brother, but your sister has sworn
that she has two. Now, out with the
truth."
