To, these the department has this year added cours- es for intending teachers of kinaergare ten -primary and auxiliary classes. It appears to be altogether probalile that many tonalities wInch have not es- tablished kindergarten- nlasses will look with favor upon the kindergarten -Prim- ary classes, and Teems probable also that the latter clannes will replace spine en the kindergartehs now in existence. It is. accerdingly important that the teachers concerned should avail them selves of 'the present opportunity, es- Pecially intending teachers if kinder; garten-primary certificates may not be continued. 4. - • • .• 5c $1.00 to $1.25 t • • Tess straws- •i 1 5c 50c 75c ..........25c 50c 75c • .•. .. . ... 15e --20c 25c $1.25 • • • • • .... • • si ••••o,'""•••oo" 0 umurr ce, Snit coat and g ipore popular each ake a much- ap- o the hcavier cloth - and. of goad ser' I. 44 4. 4e- 4.14.

Even things with German names are becoming unpopular in Ontario, or rath- er, the German names are. For exempla tbere is the beer. The city council of Toronto not long ago iiercely debated the question of permitting the presence of large ,electric signs advertising the merits of beer with a 'German name, Mayor Church has now received a oug- gestion that the word kindergarten be eliminated from the language, at -least as referring to tbe 'ower classes of the public schools. The mayor has sent the letter to the Management cammittee of the board of education, which commit- tee las smiled. But -the provincial board. ,of censors, winch has jurisdiction over the mov- ing ,picture theaters, does not, amen. It bas 'placed the ban on all films winch show the German,soldler in any position save that of ' defeat: Pro -Ger- man films, don't get through if the board sees them first, and if they do slip through, they are speedily recalled. This rule is being strictly- adhered to, now that real war films are coming through. * * * * The Ontario government is empha- sizing the position taken some time ago, that pulpwaod cut on new concessions In the north must be manufactured In the nrovince. This is in line with, the old policy of the province 'With respeet to saw, logs, a policy which went into effect years ago and which has since been copied by other provinces. When the present governmentleased the pulp- wood area in the Abitibi district, the provision was made that the company leasing the area must. manufacture in the district. The gonernment at the same time retained' control over all land:, retained the right to place set- tlers upon these. lands a.ndt retained at. so all Indian lands, water rights and water powers. Tim scheme has worked out success - telly. The pulp and paper indestry vtleich grew up in the Abitibi. district now employs over 1,000 persons, and buys annually from the settlers some- thing near to *500,000 worth of pulp- wood. Encauraged by this result the government is now throwing open tor lease 2,500 square miles of phipwood ori what is known as the Lac Seul limit. This territory lies north of the. National Transeontinental railveay and south of the English river, * * * * Figures given, to the Canadiaa Manu- facturers' association at the annual meeting in Toronto show to what ex- tent the neW industry of Shell -making has grown. They show that since the outbreak of war great strides 'have been made first in organizing and sec- ond in expanding this new line ot manufacture. Brigadier General Bert- ram, *bo gave the figures, is chair- man of tbe shell committee which the 'minister of militia appointed to create the new industry of -shell manufacture, The work had to be carried ,on in the face of all those many difficinties which invariably confront and impede the launching of a new enter -prise, diffi- culties of doubt and distrust and faint- beartedn,ess. All these diffidulties have been overcome. Factories have. been re- orgariized, new machinery has been constructed and installed, 70,000 work- men have been trained in the use of. this machinery, Canadian steel has been manufactured for the first time for shell man.ufacture, and g plant is to be establiabed *for the refining of Ontario copper -in Ontario. In Toronto, and Ham- ilton alone there are 46 factories en- gaged in the making of shells, or rath- er, the parts for shells. In all Canada t ere are nearly 25) factories engaged I ,this work, while 130 are busy'..on the etembling a.nd machiaing of -the parts. Whet this means to the country, a- part altogether from ifts military im- porta,ace, may be, gallomed* from Gen- eral Bertram's statement that ,the weekly wage bill exceeds $1,000,000 and that 170,000 tons of steel, ,30,000 tons oi lead and several thousand tens ofother materials are required to fill the con- tracts already placed. In a nery short time, says General Bertram, the daily output of shells will amount to 6a,000. • • Greys, Brovvns, B us are favorite colors • ?odd Tionsers .• . • • I White duck an.d. • tr. .1Fancy ....... • Price $7:5q to $12.00 a The Seaforth orse .Races July ist an\d. 2n • A big entry list of the best horses racing ori. the Canadian Circuit $2100 in Purses Three Exciting Races each day Band in attendance both days W.

In this way there . will ne created a new induetry wbich will be a permanent taae. In fach, it is the ex- pectation' of manunacturers who are working with the shell cormnittee, that wren, `the war is, over and the demand tor shells stops, a umber of new.he- dustries of a'permanent Character will have been establiehed. Of course what has been accomplish- ed to dale has not been 'done in smooth water. For exaenple, there are be On•- tario, and probably also in other prov- inces, a number of ihanufacturere who hane been willing to take orders for &tells or shell parts, and who have not been able to get them. These mea have complained, have smelled rats ann. have suspeeted the presence of nigger in woodpiles. The official answer tn these complaints is that only such .ord.. ers as are received from, the war office can be passed on, that the shelletom- mittee has no right to go beyond the limits of these orders. To the sugges- tion that quicker results might be ob- tained by a Wider distribution of era-. ern the official answer is that before a contract is awarded an investigatiofl is trade as to the ability of the firm to carry out the work to be aseigacd to et. These are general answers winch may not meet all cases, but It is likely that the demand for shells will before long aftord an opportunity for every manufacturer wlio is able and drilling to handle a cootract. The shell com- mittee makes periodical reports to the war office es to the shell-maning re- sources of the country, and ,it is ex- pected that the demand will be fully equal to the possible supply.
