"HAPPY CIIILDHOOD."
Mn. Donald MaCGIWvray and Her
Wort to Chian.
In The Toroos) Globe's "Circle of
Young Canada. "lo a recent issue, the
followityl article, which will be of
spacial interest to readers of The Signal.
was published:
One night I had a dream which seems
W et in so well with the story of our
"worker of today" that I think I must
sell all about it. I saw in my dreams •
great army of chubby, rosy-cheeked,
merry—eyed children. As they walked
they laughed. talked. sang and played.
Evidently they were tieing some place
they liked. and, curious to know where
so many thousands of children were
docking, 1 followed them. Presently
we carpo to an tmmenoe bul►ding, the
longear, larifeat, tallest building I had
ever seen. lltrough Its wide-open doors
the children streamed, and within were
met by other children who had arrived
earlier, and by young women with kind
faces. The kiddies were ushered into
great rooms, where the walls were lined
with books. and where long tables were
covered with magazines, books and
pictures, Presently the young women
gathered the children Into different
groups, showed them pictures. read
'aortas, and explained to them many
things they had not understood.
Seeing • woman standing Idly by. I
ventured to ask, "Who are all these little
people?" and she answered: "These
aro Canadian children: this is their
library, and the young ladles yon see
aro librarians tied story tellers. Mb.
Boss of books are on tho shelves. for all
sorts and condition+ of children. while
thousands of juvenile papers and mag-
azines full of picturesare scattered over
the tables.
Then, as the mother finished speak-
ing, a merry peal of laughter went up
from • group of children who were en-
joying the telling of a charming story.
I looked at their radiant faxes, and
murmured: "Happy, happy little Cana-
dians"'
At this point. curiously enough. the
scene changed. Again I saw a great
gathering of children, but this time
they were thin. pale, dejected. Ill -ted
and ill -clad. As they marched, some
dropped down with exhaustion, others
limped wearily along. many were crying
and some wore quarrelling. No person
seemed to be taking any. interest In
these little ones, and as they docked by
1 risked an onlooker:
"Who are these children, and where
are they going?'
These are Chinese," Jame the reply.
"but I do not know where they are go -
1
"Perhaps," said I, remembering the
former picture, "perhaps they too are
going to • children's library."
My companion looked at me in sur-
prise, of cxourae not uedersunding my
reference, then answered:
"No, indeed. there are no chlktren's
libraries to China and practically no
children's books. Why, minions upon
millions of Chinese never see the in-
side of a book, never hear a story pret-
tily told, and never learn to read. They
are born, live and die to ignorance."
Then the tread of tiny feet ceased,
the vision vanished. and I awoke, to
and myself in my own comfortable
home. Now dreams are silly Wage. I
admit, but sometimes they leave •
great impression, and so for days I
found myself trying to imagine what
life must be like to children who never
see a picture -book.
Shortly after this I had the pleasure
of talking to Mrs. Mae0illivny, whose
plccute appears today , and she had
many interesting things to tell
about China, where she uvea,
about the children of that land,
and especially about the work
g to is doing to brighten their sad young
lives.
It 15 twenty-one years since Mrs.
MacOi111vray left her home In England
for a mission field in China. During
that time she has done a great deal in
the way of tranalating good books Into
Chinese. Her husband, Dr. MaeGilli-
vray, devotes all his time to literary
work and has also done mach translat-
ing. They make their home in Shang -
hal. the great printing centre of Chins.
People will tell you that
Dr. and Mrs. MaeGllllvray are
mieeionariea of the Canadian Prete
bytertse church. and In a sense this is
true. but the work that they carry on -
the translntinit and printing of bettks--
le not oonfiued to any - burcli, so it may
more truthfully be said that they are
literary mtsstonsrica belonging to many
churches and many c ountr►es.
Many of the Circletten have written
to the piece about their love for the
popular book, "Beautiful Joe." It w111
be interesting then to know that Mee.
MacGillivray has translated this lovely
story into Chinese, and that it has been
read over and over again by loth the
grown people and children of that
country. Another book translated by STI.'DY AND AMUSEMENT.
Mrs. Mactimivrwy Ir "Too Wide, Wile
World." In doing this, she employed a
Chinese writer, who put down In
Chlueee what she dictated. much, I
suppose. as • stenographer would do.
For weeks the neo went daily to do
this writlag. but at last there arrived •
morning when for some reason the
task had W be omitted. He turned
sway regretfully. and later explained
bow disappointed he had telt over the
Interruption. Ilia family at-home were
also greatly disappointed, and amend
groups of friends, all of whom awaited
eagerly each day the unfolding ut this
pretty tale. This gives some idea of
how appreciated stories are among the
Chinese. There is not, 1 believe, a
nation in the world that toes not love
a well -told story.
Souse tour years ago there dawned a
bright new day tor the children of
China. 1t was the birthday of the nest

Co-operative Experiments in Wood
Eradication.
This experimental work was commenced
in 1912 and has been conducted now for
seven successive years The object of
this work is to have carried on by men on
thea own farms experiments in the eradi-
cation of weeds, the results of which will
furnish data from which definite inform
ation may be obtained regarding the best
methods of controlling the various trouble-
some weeds of the Province. Before the
results of these experiments began to
accumulate there was very little or no
definite knowledge concerning the eradi-
cation of weeds.
The weeds experimented with are per-
ennial sow thistle, twitch grass, bladder
campion or cow bell, wild mustard. ox-
eye daisy, field bindweed or wild morning
glory. wild oats and chess.
Each spring leaflets are sent out to
numerous farmers of the Province inviting
all who have any of these troublesome
weeds on their farms to co-operate with
us in this work and try the experiment
outlined for the particular weed which is
giving them trouble. Application forms
for the experiments accompany the leaf-
let& To those who fell in these and
return them detailed directions for the
carrying out of the experiment selected
are vent. and in the fail they are supplied
with blank forms on which to report the
results of their work.
In the past seven years (1912-18) over
sixty farmers have co-operated in this
work and some valuable information has
been obtained. It may be briefly sum-
marized as follows:
1. That good cultivation followed by
rape sown in drills provides a means of
eradicating both perennial sow thistle and
twitch grass.
2. That rape is a more satisfactory
crop to use m the destruction of twitch
grass than buckwheat.
3. That thorough, deep tultivati.-n in CALI. AND SEE WHAT YOU ('AN

4. That mustard may be prevented
from seeding in oats, wheat and barley by
spraying with a twenty per cent. solution
of iron sulphate without serious injury to
the standing crop or to fresh aeedings of
clover.
The following are the experiments out-
ruled for this year :
1. The use of rape iA the destruction
of perennial sow thistle.
2. A system of intensive cropping and
cultivation. using winter rye followed by
turnips, rape or buckwheat for eradicating
perennial sow thistle.
3. The use Al rape in the destruction
of twitch grass.
4. A method of cultivation for the
deetruction of twitch grass.
5. Method of cultivation for the eradi-
cation of bladder tampion or cow bell.
R. Spaying with iron sulphate to de-
stroy mustard in cereal drops.
7. A method of cultivation for the
destruction of ox -eye daisy.
8. A method of cultivation and crop-
ping for the suppression of field bindweed
or wild morning glory (requires two years
to complete).
9. A method of cultivation and crop-
ping for the eradication of wild oats (re-
quires two years to complete).
10. A method of cultivation for the
dertruction of chess.

Regarding the Teacher.
Under the above heading one of our
exchanges truthfully remarks that when
the son or daughter comes home from
school with a complaint against the
methods of a teacher, it is easy for the
fond parent to take the evidence and form
an opinion accordingly.
Teachers are about as human as other
folks. Like other mortals they sometimes
make mistakes. Not all of them can have
the best methods of conducting classes.
Some of thea[ aro not sufficiently equipped
for teaching. A few of them might be
better clerks or seamstresses just as a
few ministers or lawyers or editors might
be tetter brick makers.
But here is a peculiar thing. A parent
can formulate an opinion in a minute and
condemn a teacher as incompetent when
he hears one bit of evidence from his
daughter or son. He can make up his
mind that the teacher has no place in the
school. Perhaps he lets the teacher know
that he is dissatisfied with her work.
Perhaps he even goes to someone in auth-
ority in the school system. But the
mortals are very few it ho take the same
trouble to let a teacher know their appre-
ciation when a teacher conducts her
classes as they think she should or when
she does good work in some particular
dans or course.
Our educational work it so important
and essential that it should get the con-
sideration of the parents. But there is
one simple suggestion: Why not give the
teacher an occasional word of thanks and
enoruragement when she does her work
well -instead of expressing your feelings
only when she does something that does
not meet your approval ? Incidentally.
this little bit of thanks and encourage-
ment would not only make the teacher
feel better but it would make her a better

LOCAL MARKETS ARE ESSENTIAL.
Equal Responsibility for Their Support Rests Upon the
Farmers and Merchants -Must Assist Each Other -
Prosperity of Community Depends Upon -Each of These
Two Classes Buying Products and Goods of Each Other.
i
(Copyright.)
The first essential in the development of any business
is the possession of a market. The manufacturer must have
a market dor his products ur he cannot succeed, no matter
how valuable those products may be or how efficiently his
plant may be operated. The wholesale merchant and the
retail merchant may have the choicest stocks af goods, but
they may as well go out of busjness if they have not a
market where they can dispose of their stocks. The farmer
may produce' bumper crops, but they will rot upon the
ground if ,he cannot find a market for thew. The wage
earner's skill and muscle bring him nu returns unless there
is a market fur his labor.
The question of markets is the big one in every line of
business and in every community the question is a vital one
In each community, which must be taken to include not only
all the people who live iu the town but the farmers who live
in the surrounding country as well, there are two sides to
the market question. The business men of the town must
have a market for the things which they have to sell.
Otherwise they cannot continue in business. At the same
time the farmers must have a market for the things which .
they raise or they may as well go out of business.
When Either Fails Suffer.
The merchants of the toff a can vide a market for the
products of the farmers and the far rs can provide a
market for the goods which the merchant's have to sell. As
long as each class of citizens provides a market for the other
class all is well and the goose hangs high, bat when either
class fails to provide a market for the other the goose is
cooked, not only for the class which is deprived of the
market but for the other as well.
The farmer has a rignt to expect the town which is his
natural trading point to provide a market for his products,
and the town is not performing its proper function as the
trading centre of its community if it does not see that such
a market is provided. The responsibility of looking after
the fuftllment of this obligation rests largely upon the
merchants of the town. The farmer is a producer and he
mallet dispose of his products before he eau become a con-
sumer. It is, therefore, not only right but necessary from
business standpoint that the merchants should aid the
farmer in turning his products into money. Otherwise the
farmer naturally will have no mouey to spetud in the stores
sof the town.

Obligation on Tamen.
On the other band, the merchants of the town have a
right to expect the farmers to provide a market for the
merchandise which they have to sell, and the farmers are
not doing their duty to their community if they do not
provide such a market. in this case, also, it is not only
right but it is necessary to the prosperity of the farmers
that they should aid the merchants in turning their mer-
chandise into cash. Otherwise it is obvious that the mer-
chants will have no money with which to buy the products
of the farmers.
This ix a double-barreled proposition and the obligation
rests equally upon both the merchants and the farmers to
maintain the marketa which are essential to both classes of
citizens. Any town which would import from points
hundreds of miles distant the farm products which it could
buy at home would be pursuing a very short-sighted policy,
for it would be making it impossible for the farmers in its
territory to buy the goods of its merchants. As a matter
of fact no town does thin unless it is forced by unusual
conditions to do so. A town may be located in a community
which is not productive enough to meet the local demands,
and in that ease it is forced to import farm products but the
town which in compelled to do this is at a disadvantage from
a commercial standpoint unless it is essentially a mann-
facturing town, in which case its products are sold to other
communities and bring in enough cash to offset that which
is sent away to purchase farm products.
Must Have Outside Business.
In the average community, however, the town is de-
pendent for its prosperity upon the money received from
the farmers in the ordinary channels of trade, rather than
upon that obtained from the sale of its own products. In
the average tove h the merchants cannot make money and
continue in business if they are dependent solely upon the
people of the town for their busineua.
No bnsinesn can last, long with "everything going out
and nothing coming in," and it in equally true that no busi-
ness can he operated on the principle of "everything coming
in and nothing going out." To maintain the balance which
in necessary- to the maintenance of prosperity in a coin-
munity there must be an even trade between the business
men of the town.
