Aller Fos7Etl, of Sarnia, spent las Sunday iu Clinton. Mn. FRANK CRABu, of the. eireula town, was in Clinton over Sunday We remember Frank as a lad, and a member and officer of the Cadets of Temperance in Goderich years ago. Twenty or thirty of the boyo and girle had ther pictures taken, in uniform But few of the group are now in Gode rich—a good number being deceased among them a brother and sister of the writer, others seeking their fortunes in distant lands, while eome have married and settled down. Frank is one of the few living single of the old—thou young— chool of Cadets. ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS LIKELY TO BE ABOLISHED.—It is understood in educational circles in Toronto, that the Minister of Education, recognizing our people will not much longer submit to meagre education obtained in our pub lie schools, under the present system of entrance examinations, will abolish those examinations and substitute in lieu the "Leaving Examinations" which are mote severe and require a pupil to be Hither advanced than is now the case in order to pass the entrance. Paternalism over the High Schools is all very well, but the mass of our people must depend upon our common schools, and they should be the first and principal cure of the Minister.—Galt Reporter. RAPID TRANSIT..—Half a century ago one would hardly dream of travel- ling from Britain to Canada in less than two or even three months and some times longer. The great onward march of science and alertneea of pro• greesive governments have changed all this. The time required has in the space of a few years been changed almost from months to. days. The other day Mr. H. C. Cook, of Gude• rich township, received a letter from Roesgray, County Tipperary, Ireland. The Irish post mark showed that the letter had been on the journey but eight days on arrival at Clinton. Back in the fifties Mr. Cook was sight weeka and three days travelling from the startiug point of the letter to Quebec. Ie 40 years there has beau many links of affection welded in the strong chain between Britain and Canada. We can comruunicate with tho Mother Country as easy and rapid as we can wish for. r Bernal SOLDIERS.—At this present time an English Military Tournament in being liberally patronized in Canada. The British heroes were in Toronto recently and performed in London last Wednesday. They wore one of the attractions at the Chicago World's Fair. They did not receive the most coarti- oua treatment there. In fact some of the mon have not formed a very high opinion of Yankee snobs. For Canada and Canadians the men have nothing but worde of praise. Among those from this section who witnessed the performances of the troops at London were M. Hutchison and blaster Horton, of. Goderich; Messrs. Bell, McCutnmios and McKellar, Blyth; :Kisses Lottie Twise and Whiteman, Staff Sgt. Ball, Lieut. McTaggart, Capt. Rance, and Messrs. Powell, Craws, F. Macphersou, Hunt and "Todd, of Clinton. The tournament was deeply interesting, The old flag waved and of course was a prominent part of the proceedings. Those who are fond of ridiculing the flag would surely not feel at home in London last Wednesday. INDEPENDENT ORDER Or FORESTErtS. —Mr. A. J. Holloway was the dele- gate from Clinton to Sarnia last• week and reports a splendid meeting. The High Court of Ontario has on its pre sent basis of representation a member - hip of of over 620, over fire hundred of these wore present. Some arrived Sat. uiday. And on Monday they poured in by all trains. The hotels were crowded to their utmost capacity. The arrangements trade by the Local Court, Court Sarnia, No. 55, oue o Lf the oldest and strongest in oidhe Order, were very complete. The to.vn was handsomely decorated, and eve1'y0ne seemed anxious to make the visitors feel at home. The delegates are' a fine body of men. The majority of them are under forty years of age. The aver ago age of the membership being only about 34. The Order now has over52,000 member's in 1380 Subordinate Courts and 26 High Courts. Seven High Courts were organized since let May by the Supreme Chief Ranger Oronhy- atekha, M. D. There are now five I-ligh Courts in Great Britain, six in Canada, the balance in the United States. Twelve years ago the member• ship of the entire Order was only 396, compared with 52,000 now. Twelve years ago Ontario had only 369 mem• here where now there are 21,700. Twelve years ago the Order was ham• pared with a debt of .$4,000. To day after paying nearly $1,600,000 in claims, the order has a reeerve of over ticree puarters of a rnill.iondollars. No wonder that the order is confident and agressite For the year ending 31st July, 19,439 made application for ed• mission into membership. Of these 5,486 were from the banner jurisdiction he High Court of Ontario. The mem- bership in Ontario at present is over 21,700 as compared with 17,729 last year.
