THE COUNTRY SCHOOL.
Schoolhouse of Western Canada is a
Community Centre.
Nations are built in the public
schools. The ideals set up by the
school teacher remain very largely the
ideals of the pupil throughout life, and
his conception of patriotism will be
what he has been taught during his
school years. It is not too much to
say that the present world war is due
to a difference of ideals fostered by
different systems of education.
Great as is the importance of the
public school in old and well estab-
lished countries, this importance is
even greater in the new lands which
are being called upon to assimilate
populations from the more congested
countries. In such a country as West-
ern Canada, the public school has to
take on functions not usually associ-
ated with it in the older and more
densely settled communities. The
prairie schoolhouse is not merely a
centre of education; it is also the re-
ligious and social centre of the dis-
trict. During the week days the
school teacher furnishes education to
the children of the neighborhood, but
on Sunday the missionary holds his
services, which all attend regardless

Very Religious, a Valiant Fighter, and
of Wonderful Endurance.
A correspondent of -the London
Times draws this picture of the Rus-
sian soldier:
The moujik is intensely religious,
and both the Orthodox and Roman
Catholic services held each Sunday in
a field hospital "somewhere in Volhy-
nia" are crowded to overflowing,
while, even were it not so prescribed,
the men would never dream of ending
the day's work without the evening
prayer and the National Anthem. His
religion is so simple and natural that
foreigners mistake it for hypocrisy,
but it is a part of the man, and he
crosses himself as readily -when pass-
ing one of the graves -now, alas! only
too numerous, all over the fighting
area -as when the bombs and shrap-
nel are falling all around. Intemper-
ate he is if given the chance, but A-
isting regulations preclude such indul-
gence, and he fights quite as valiantly
without his vodka, theukt.it was free-
ly predicted that no Russian could do
so.
His language is rarely obscene, and
never blamphemous, and his talk, as
the sisters who nurse him through his
wounds know best, is as that of a lit-
tle child. Ignorant he is beyond even
the rank and file of other armies, but,
though his mind works very slowly, he
is filled with curiosity and anxious to
learn.
He is extraordinarily enduring, not
so much in hospital, where he only
comes to when his nerve is broken, as
in the trenches, where his officers tell
wonderful tales of his bravery and in-
difference to either danger or discom-
fort. Even when wounded he can be
a Stoic, as those realize who have tak-
en ,him in a motor -ambulance over
such roads as satisfy the authorities
in Russia. An occasional groan is the
utmost' expression of the agony he
met suffer when the car bumps over
the bad places s and even that is rare-
ly heard.
He goes to the wars, if not eagerly,
at letist without the least attemerlo
shirk his part.
Within the case of a new clock of
the grandfather type are concealed a
phonogranh and cabinet for records,
nights elle building is used for meet-
sf •#rrners„, f or, the various com-
inimity societies; for the Red Cross
or Patriotic Club, and for purely so-
cial events such as debates, concerts
and dances. To facilitate the latter,
it may be noted that many country
schoolhouses use removable desks
which the willing hands of the farm -
boys quickly dispose of whenever
there is a dance in prospect.
Another phase of community work
associated with the rural school
which has been coming into promin-
ence during the last few years is the
supply of books to settlers in the dis-
trict. This work is encouraged and
assisted by the central Department of
Education, which provides catalogues
of books suitable for such purposes,
the actual selection being left to the
teacher. The number of books allot-
ted to a school district is based on
the report of the inspector of schools.
In the Province of Alberta, although
this school library movement is
only in its infancy, no less than
110,000 books were supplied for
this purpose last year, at a cost
of some $30,000.00. Educationists

FAMINE THREATENS WORLD.
Prof. Leacock Says We Must Increase
Our Food Supply.
Prof. Leacock of McGill University,
addressing the Montreal Housewives'
League at the Royal Victoria College
recently, said:
"We are in sight of a terrible food
famine'such as the world has never
seen. We must take steps betimes if
we wish to -avoid national. and world-
wide disaster. We must at all costs
increase our own food supply.
"We in Canada are fortunately
placed. We have boundless resources
in land to draw upon. We mut see
that every available acre and every
available day's labor is turned to use.
"It is gratifying to learn that our
Department of Agriculture and our
National Service Commission are
wide awake to the situation. We must
put behind them the force of public
opinion and the efforts of individual
citizens."
TEETHING TIME
A TIME OF WORRY
When baby is teething is a time
of worry to most mothers. Baby's
little gums become swollen and ten-
der; he becomes cross; does not
sleep well; is greatly troubled with
constipation; colic or diarrhoea and
sometimes even convulsions seize
him. During this period nothing
can equal the use of Baby's Own
Tablets. They regulate the bowels
and stomach and make the teething
so easy that the mother scarcely real-
izes baby is getting his teeth. Con-
cerning the Tablets Mrs. Arthur
Archibald, New Town, N.S., writes:
"I used Baby's Own Tablets when
baby was getting his teeth and
found them an excellent medicine."
The Tablets are sold by medicine
dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box

The Useful Sunflower.
. .
Grow sunflowers, not only for their
gorgeous beauty, but as food for the
hens. In the autumn the sunflower
seed is a healthy stimulant and assists
biddy in repairing her wardrobe, and
clothing her for her winter duties. It
is good exercise also for the hens to
pick the seeds from the heads. There
is a pitchy substance throughout the
whole plant, which, when the stalks
and heads are dry, makes good -fuel,
so that' no part of the plant need he
wasted.
The common garden plant called
coriander is found in Egypt, Persia
and India. It has globular, grayish
seed -corns and is mentioned twiee in
the Bible, in Exodus xvi., 31, and in
Numbers xi., 7.
At Grips With a Leopard.
A correspondent in Port Elizabeth,
Sputh Africa, of the London Express,
sent an account of a thrilling battle
between a British officer and a•full-
grown female leopard in German East
Africa. An expeditionary force was
on the march when the animal was
sighted, and Lieut. Bouwer dropped
out to try a shot. The leopard sud-
denly charged the officer, and the hest
he could do was ;jam his rifle in the
open mouth of the beast. Bundles of
burning grass were thrown toward the
animal to distract her attention from
Lieut. Bouwer, who was badly hurt,
and Dr, Ivor Haslem finally sent a
dum-dum bullet home, which closed
the career of that leopard,

National Service Cards.
The time for those persons who
have not filled in the National Service
cards, or have not properly filled them
in, has been extended to the 31st day
of March, 1917, and further cards
have again been issued to the poet -
Masters for distribution among those
who have made default. It is under-
stood that the returns from the 2nd
Military District have been most gra-
tifying. There am, however, even in
this District a number who have not
properly made their returns. The Na-
tional Service Board hopes that every-
one in the District will use his or her

returns from this District as nearly
perfect as possible.
