In case the impression from my
last article should gi'ye ' you a
rather bail .one of Halifax let .me
hasten to assure you that I only
endeavoured to depict . the im-
pressions of the place in the usual
sequence. of which ;they are made.
I hada spent considerable time
and several visitsin and out, of
Halifax before 'I had the op-
portunity of ;discovering some of
the- more pleasant :aspects ,of ' the
• As previously • stated • the, loca-
tion of the City is • on, a hill, The

angles and aspects 'of the city;
so off we go; The ascent will
require considerable, energy for

Make your apprgach ` the citadel'
• forms • the apex. •Similiar to all:
ancient fortfications •of the per-
iod, .the, • fortitself is .surrounded
by .a mote • and , dtaw bridge: Ow-
ing to present circumstances it
would be inadvisable for • Me to
.enter into further detail, . but suf-
fice is to' say the Forst still serves
a useful purpose even, in a ;mdd-
ern ',application.
From one side of the •citadel
may be viewed .the old part of.
the :city and the main harbor,,
much • of which was covered in
the last' article. Beyond the har-
bor is Partrnauth which has a
history equal': to if not greater in.
some respects to that of Halifax`
although it has not been`'so for-
tunate in its growth. • •
Proceeding around the • citadel
to our right one can look out, to
sea over the 'great • Atlantic.' One
cannot•- but- be-- izr pressed-Ir_oo
this -location to note the compar-
ative tranquility of the harbor'
and yet•' look .out to sea and ,• see
the great bteakers roll in over
the -shoals of the shore line to
the great. approaches of the har-
, bor. Continuing our trip around
the citadel we look over the new
part pf the city which one gets
the •impression is,, built in the
bush. The, occasional"church spire
or • university tower along with
the predominant view of the Lord
Nelson 'hotel arousesyour' curl-,'
.osity to explore the region fur-,
ther. However before descending
we have still another . side to'
'view. This overlooks a.largecom
mons which affordsa plaverrourd
for young .and old beyond which
is `the agricultural grounds, for-
um; etc. , Interspersed of course
may be.seen camps of the various
services of which many have a
history.
We"take one .of the many foptr'
paths• that lead down the hillside"
until. we .come to ,the "Public
Gardens". The space set apart
for this purpose, I suppose covers
approximately ten acres. The ef-
fect' `attained ;certainly was not
,attained in a few years by any
means,. It' is very 'pleasant corn
and greets grass. `There'• are a
couple of fountains ' nicely . ar-
ranged then a' bandstand which
on •,Sunday afternoons is the cen=
tre of , attraction. On a recent
Sunday afternoon there must
have been around twenty thous-
and people in the - park which
gives. you a 'little. idea of , the
popularity of the place.. The band
stand is occupied usually by some
band from some one of the• ser
vices. The Sunday in. question
the band was that of the CWAC's.
which are touring Canada ;and so
fax as is • known. are the first
i
Ladies Army , band n the Empire.
They put on a very„. talented
concert for. an appreciative aud-
ience. •
Closely adjoining the • public
gagdens-are-the, -grounds-of-the
Dalhousie University: Graduates
'from this ''institution have made.
a definite mark in educational
circles' throughout Canada. It is
the graduates from , this College,
as . well , ,as one ;_of ; two • others
which l hope to dwell on later
that they get , 'the -term the "Ed`
ucated East": Many people here,
carry .with them. excellent educa-
tions a fact. which .one is .inclined
to doubt when you view, their
business methods in the light of
a native of Upper Canada; as we
are always referred to : as being.
However, the difference in
business methods. 'lays largely 'in_
two factors= -first, the power or
influence of tradition is 'very
dorninant and they seem to find.
it. difficult to. break away from
tradition in business ethics; sec-
ondly, the area is more pr less
divorced from the • central part.
of Canada and is not under the
^mpris-an ir•fluence, So for that
