HURON BOY WAR
PRISONER FOUR YEARS
Arrives Is Scotland Amid Great Enthusiasm
Mr.. Ernest 31AcMillan, son of Rev.
Alex MacMillan, of Toronto, (a former
pastor of Smith's Hill and Auburn Pres-
byterian congregations), who was study-
ing music in Germany when the war
broke out and had been kept a prisoner
tbere,was released after the signing of the
armistice and has arrived on British soil.
Writing his father from Elinburg Dec
ember 2nd he says:
_ "We had a most amazingly cordial re-
ception on our arrival at L3ith. As
th3re were no available c.tbi we had to
walk part of the way up Leith Walk,
and we beaded a triumphal procession.
I wan conspicuous, having no hat and
cat eying my red blanket ',on my back.
'the tremendous enthusiasrn was most
inspiring. I wai afraid you might be a
bit nervous about me during the revo'u-
tionairy days, bat all such fears were
quite unfounded. On the contrary, the
German people right and left were lay-
ing themselves out to be as agreeable, as
possible, and to try to make us forget
all that had happened The people
are heartily sick of the old regime and
everything connected therewith—and
about tam; too! One German soldier
told the he believed it was the first time
in history that a nation was glad to have
been beaten! But Berlin (which I visit=
ed twice during the last week) is rather
a depressing place at present. The food
problem is really serious, and the one
thing they are looking forward to to sup-
plies from abroad ..... A large batch
left the camp on Friday. November 22,
and the rest followed on the Sunday fol-
lowing. I ate glad I was lett to the last
because the first batch landed at Hull
On Mondry morning we left the
shores of Germ my in a Danish ship
and the Danish Red Cross people did
things on a rn3gnificen scale. It was a
beautiful day, and I think everybody en.
joyed the trip to Copenhagen. Arrived
there, we changed our ship and started
the same evening ftsr our trip across the
North Ses. Apart from the stuffiness
of the 'dormitory.' (or whatever one
might call -it) 1 enjoyed every moment
of the voyage. They fed -us magnifie-
ently—the supplies of meat on board
must have been enormous . To cu! a
long story short, we were in the Forth
on Wednesday evening, and. our tri-
umphalentrance into Leith harbor,
amid cheers on all aides, hooting of sir-
ens from destroyers', etc , waving of flags
and __allAtinds .atf ._detnons;,rattons, took.
place early on Thursday morning. I
shan't attempt to describe niy feelings.
1 have ahead; hulled at them. 1 am
embarrassed on all sides by the goodness
of everybody. I need hardly say how
happy a Christmas I wish Qverybody.
'ibis will really be a h , ppy Cbristmae
for many, an infinitely happier nne than
wo bsv. kaokp for s loaf; dine."

HEAT VALUES OF WOOD
TEACHERS PAID
BEGGARLY PITTANCE
(From Toronto Saturday Night)
If the quality of teaching in our
country 1cho61s 'w►tiie in accord with the
salaries paid, we would indeed be in a
bad .way in this country. Advertise-
ments for teachers for the country dist-
ricts are at this time of year a promin-
eut feature in the daily press. From
one advertisement we learn that Mort-
iwers' Point, Ont., is in need of a teach- •
er, the salary mentioned being $450 per
annum, which works out at the rate of
$37.50 per month. In other advertise
menta we are informed that good board
can be obtained by teacher's at prices
ranging from $28 to $35 per month. Of
course, there are a couple of months in
the year when these teachers are not oc-
cupied with their pupils, but it might
be pointed out that teachers must live
even if not busy with their professional
duties. Other country communities, it
would appear, are prepared to go as high
as five or even six hundred per annum,
-but in no case that bas come under my
notice has the salary been at all in ac-
cord with present conditions. In the
column or two of advertisements which
have come before me, the average salary
offered would certainly not exceed $600
per annum, and u the board offered
ranges in price from $28 to 35 we will
st.ike an average of $30 and try to as-
certain how a teacher can still miss the
poor house and remain in the profession.
From the gross salarywe will deduct
twelve months' board. This %. ould mean
banding over to the landlady $360 for
three meals a day and a place to deep,
leaving a balance of $240 to cover all
other ezpenses. Now $240 per annum
wculd be about 65 cents per day on
which this tr a -her would be obliged to
clothe herself and cover the varioc.a ex-
penses of everyday life. That anybody
can be ''found who would voluntarily
take the trouble and bear the expense
of acquiring the knowledge necessary to
teach, and then pass on their servicea-
for such a beggarly pittance, is beyond
comprehension. It is time that school
teachers got at least as much as the
office boy or the budding stelogravher
who is just learning her business.
In a discussion by the Forest Products
Laboratories, Montreal. of the heat val-
ues of dry wood, it is stated that the
below amounts of wood have equal beat-
ing value to one ton of anthracite: 1 00
cord of birch, 1.15 cords of tamarack,
1,20 cords of Douglas fir, 1 50 cords of
jackpine, 1.55 corde of poplar, 1 60 curds
of hemlock, and ! 10`oorde of cedar.
The above comparison is based on the
siippositinn that the calorific value of
the coal is 13,000 B. t. n, but the grade
of coal received in Canada last winter
was much less, possibly as low 10,1
B. t. u., which, in comparison, wouidli+e-
erease the above stated quantities of
wood by $$ per east. I<
