THE ELIMINATION OF THE
SMALL SCHOOL
According to the statistical reports
of the Department of Education,
there have been 900 to 1000 rural
schools in the Province of Ontario
for the last fifteen years that had had
an average' attendance of from 1 to
10 pupils each.
These schools are considered to be
neither economical nor efficient. It
is impossible for the child to receive'
such training as will fit him to co -op -
I erate with others, and play his part
'in life, when in early years he receiv-
les his training -in isolation. There can
be little if any competition in ithe
class rooms, on the school grounds
or in other activities whereby the
children learn to work' together. It
must be very disheartening. for the
`teacher to attempt to interest one or
two pupils in a class. She has to put
more enthusiasm into her work to
make up for the lack of competition.

Gutenberg, a German printer, is
generally believed to .have invented
the art'of `using Movable type in
priuting. He is tlaotght to have •been
horn at :Ma renes, the son of a noble
family, He went later to Strassburg,
where he set himself up as a matter
of looking -glasses, and during those
years was frequently in financial
straits. Ancient records, still extant,
testify of the legal suits in which he
Was involved and are valuable
sources of information as to the man
and his affairs. Once he is said to
have excused bis failure to meet his
debts on the score of "a certain art'+
with Which he was experimenting;
and many have assumed that the ref-
erence was to the art of printing.
Later, in Mayence, we find Guten-
berg in partnership with a wealthy
goldsmith, named Fust, who was
probably familiar with the nature of
the' invention in progress. Yet, he,
too, grew impatient, brought suit
against Gutenberg and the printing
oftlee passed into his hands. The most
famous of the "cradle books" (pro-
perly known as incunabula, a term
which applies to books printed before
the year 1500) appeared at Mayeuce
in 1456; and there seems no doubt
that Gutenberg is entitled to the cre-
dit'for type, press work and the gen-
eral format of the famous :Bible
which bears his name. Only 45 cop-
ies are known to -day, foremost among
them that copy which wasin the lib-
rary of Cardinal Mazarin,
In Gutenberg's time certain inven-
tions had come already to revolution-
ize the world: the compass, the lens
and gunpowder. Now came printing,
making it possible to produce with
reasonable speed a number of precise-
ly similar copies of the same book;
lifting the task of the production of
books forever out of the hands of
those patient laborers in the cloisters
of the monasteries, whose brushes
were far too slow and too prone to
mistakes.
UP SNOW-CAPPED PEAK.
Lying some 200'yards back from
the River Thames is a stretch of dead
water known as Cubitt's' Dock, own-
ed by the Chiswick Urban District
Council. On its surface, and.moored
near the shores, are about twenty
large motor boats, cruisers, and
houseboats, in which husbands and
wives and their families live all the
year round. Thus the occupants es-
cape the payment of rates. The own-
ers, however, have to pay mooring
dues 'to the British Motor Boat Club,
which leases the dock from. the Coun-
cil. The charge is, so much per foot
of length of craft. These are not all
of the ocean-going type. Some are
typical houseboats, others are roofed
after the style of a Noah's Ark. Whe-
ther the craft is an ocean-going cruis-

Cubitt's Dock is really a floating

occasion seized for open-air.bathing.

by which thousands of tourists are
transported winter and summer many
thousands of metres above sea level.

the Austrian Federal Forest Commis-

yet another funicular' railway, this
time up to the summit of the.Dach
stein Mountain, over 10,000. feet
high, the giant of the Salzburg Moun-
tain region, known as the Saizkam
mergut. This snow-capped mountain
can be seen for miles around, from
the lovely mountain lakes,, which
once formed part of the huge im-
perial game preserves. So many tour-
ists from the home country, as well
as from abroad, fiock to these holiday

other resorts, that expansion schemes
are justified.
