The report of the Minister of Linea- tion for Ontario for the year 1012 hey been issued and 'weighs just 3 pounds and 4 ounces. But, as might .be ex- pected, it contains some very valuable information. We cu'l a few facts from it for the benefit of our readers, It should be remembered that while the report iia dated 1913, and is the report for 1012, it really contains the statis- tics for 1011. The total expenditure Capon elementary schoole, both Pub - lie and Separate was $9.904,284, an in- crease of about $813, 000 over the pre- celing year. The Public School coat $9,00,3,394, the Separate Schools $807- 800, in addition to this the Province spent $1,818,058 on High School and Co11egiates, and $252, 080 in Continua - titan work, The school population of the Pct vitice is given as 901,555 This includes all children from 5 to 21 years of age. There are enrolled, however, only 250,255. It would be in- teresting to have the enrollment of the different ages, hilt these figtnres are not given. The average daily at- tendance is 813,651 which meatus that on the average there is just about hate` the possible school population at school, The average cost, per pupil b r.sed on the average attendan,;e, and including sites and buildings, teachers and all other expsnses, but not so far As we eati see making any allowance for Interest on investment in building, etc., is $3859, which ie velry nearly amble what it was in 1012 when it stood at $1893, There were 0,003 teachere employed in rural schools, of whom 8041 were male and 5,107 fe- male. Of these 6,000 teachers only 143 held first-class certifloates, 2,8613 held second class, while the rest held third cla>r,se and °thee certificates. There were 4,416 teachers, 000 male and 3,816 female, iax the elementary eahoote it the, urban districts, cities, togs, and ineorporated villages, and of these 507 held first class certificates, 3,213 second class, and the balance third elites and other esrtifleat'es, The highcaat aalatry paid, to A public school teacher le $2,2.)0, the lowest Is not, given, but the average in the cities is $1,805 for male teaaehere and $700 for the female teachere.

How to Mend Holo0 In Thula Very Uce ful Article, it is best not tae entirely All a rubber hot water bottle. When partly full rest it on something and press the top down until the water rises in the peels, then screw ou the top, ri'tris drives Out the air and keeps the water bot longer. A. hot water bag will last much longer if at first it is well greased inside with olive oil or vasellne, To mend .a. rubber bag first inflate with air and then fasten the cork se- curely. Now take a rubber band, melt It over a flame and apply while plastic to the tore place. A small bole may be covered in this manner. If you bave a small piece of thin sheet rubber heat this also and paste over the gum while it is still hot. Adhesive plaster will also mend it neatly, There is also a rivet which is used for mending pur- poses. It has a Hat head on one side, and the stem is threaded to secure a bur on the opposite side. To mend rubber goods which are not subject to extreme heat melt gum tis- sue in chloroform. Apply one piece and when that hardens place a second and then a third layer, allowing each to dry thoroughly before applying the other. This makes a thin patch which is durable. Do not throw the wornout hot water bag away, but cut it in round or oval pieces and use as mats to put under your flowerpots. In the absence of a hot water bottle or bag a common flaarnnel bag, made in a convenient .size, with a. drawstring, will serve in ordinary Ailments such as toothache,. earache and other minor pains. Fill with hot sand or salt. It is safer than a cheap rubber bottle, just as efficacious , and much handier to use. Keep a half dozen on hand. A, hot Plate wrapped in paper and a soft towel will retain heat until the proper article can be secured. OId magazines heated in the oven make a good substitute for a hot water bottle. .They hold the heat nearly as long and can be used under the back, where a hot water bottle would not lie well STREET SUITS.

'4 4444 r_..,._ A New Underblousc Made From Twe Thicknesses of Thin Fabric. After women were inured to the bleat that a tranepnreiat blouse called for a thin and fancy corset cover they began to look about to see what fabric could be used to the best ttdveutuge, They trled silk, but it was not satisfactory, as it gave too definite an Impression of wilat it wus beneath the blouse and I looked Me lining, It was tit this search that some one stumbled on fish pink chiffon cloth ag an admirable fabric, which is wawa NATTY LITTLE NU= z3MW. as cobwebby as chiffon itself, but has better wearlg qualities, for it is wav» en out of stronger thread. When it was anado up in a simple manner it had 'no character. It did not really conceal the white chemise beneath, and it did not give any de0.- rite color to the blouse above. Flow, ered ribbon was used in small bows -of" as a band' run through long button- holes that were placed around the fig. ure, but this idea proved too colorful and chid not look especially well under all kinds of blouses.' Then came the inrush of those fancy little roses which the great masses of women do not yet know how to use and which the majority think belong only ta, picture frames and bureau or- naments, but they were found speedily satisfactory as au ornament to this pink chiffon corset cover, and at pres- ent this is the accepted idea. This underblouse is made from two thicknesses of material in order that it may not be too transparent, for we must draw the line somewhere, and it is gathered into a scanty frill of thio white lace. Over the shoulders go half inch straps of pink satin ribbon which enol iu front in flat rosettes made of three roses with green leaves. The natty little neck bow illustrated forms an attractive finish for a blouse waist. it is made of small lengths of black velvet and satin ribbon, one end trimmed with small white pearl but- tons. THE COURSE DINNER. How This Meal May Be Well Served With One Maid. Many of our housewives who want the elegance of a course dinner, yet who are limited to the services of one maid, would 'be much amazed at the ease with which they can both cook and serve if a little forethought be used in the menu.. A preliminary cocktail, prepared be. -.forehand from a bottled sauce or ketch- up and oysters or clams, makes a good beginning and -'can be made ready in the early tnorning and placed on ice to good advantage, A clear soup with vermicelli or noodles can be cooked the day before and may simmer quietly for half an hour before serving time without further care. Fish is well represented by deviled crabs, seasoned and turned into little Mounds in the center of scallop shells. This may be done any time several hours previous to the feast, and all they need at mealtime is a simple browning in the oven. Large and substantial roasts are not only hard to prepare and serve, but also fill the oven to the exclusion of every- thing else, so it is advisable to have de- licious little steaks, fillet of beef, with canoed ed peas and pomme de terre au gratin, and prepared early in the day from mashed potatoes and a sprinkling of grated cheese. Most salads may 'without serious in- jury be mixed several hours before using and placed in a large bowl in the re£rlgerater, placing It an the lettuce leaves at serving time. Cheese balls are better made early and iced. Certainly for dessert nothing could be more delicious, more appetizing or more decorative than individual char- lotte russet more popular than ice cream, with hot maple or tehocolate sauce. A Bowi Shower. A very praetical shower for to bride who Is to keep house is one to which the guests are asked to brintg bowls. There are wooden chopping bowld, brass and copper bowls, finger bowie Of glass and of metal,mayonnaise bowls and even n. punch bowl. Ter make fun part of the refreshments could be served In bowls and the tea in email hatrdlesat cups, which are lose, ly to tts,e for individual gelatins and jeiiles, W SINOLla PARE POR VICTORIA DAY.
