We, on our tasks intent,
Heard sudden stroke of bell,
And therewith silence fell
As suddenly, set wide apart,
Above one desks we bent,
Each in some sphere of silence all his

Not to another known.

Brooding the sacrifice of many lands—
What had it meant? :
And then, a thought—I held my

The soul within me said:
The world whose dearest -best sank

This world_ itself is dead,
A world that could or would not mend

Gone, suddenly, stark -still!
As I sat brooding there, nor heard
the bell
That for the others broke the silent
spell, •
One spoke—between a smile and tear,
Her voice, half chiding': "Wake, wake

A serious shortage of woods labor,
which is said by lumbermen to be the
worst in many years, exists in the
Ottawa Valley, where, it is estimated,
between eightanc ea d -
men, are required fully to man the
camps of the lumberirig and pulpwood
companies. Only about one-third of
the number of lumberjacike required
lia-ve been ong-aged and in some in-

says;•
Of all the many natural r
sources which Ontario posse.,
es the greatest is her people.
The iiatural' inorea3c.I. • from
births is her hest source of
• population and the growth and
mainteria.nee of this increase is
her first $baty.
The Dominion Bureau of Sta-
tistics has just issued a i;epart
on Vital Statistics for 1921,
which gives some' interesting
figures on Ontario's birthrate.",
In that year there were 74,152
'births, eXelusive of 3,340 still"
births„ ,Of living births there
were 38,307 males and 35,845
females, or an excess of males
of 2,46e. During the same year
there were 6,763 deaths of chil-
dren Under one year a age, c4
which 3,918- were male arid 2,-
845 female; under five years of
age, 8,658, of which' 4,874 we're
male and 3,679' female; under
ten years of age, 9,481 deaths
of. which 5,385 were males and
4,096 females, thus reducing
the excess of'rnale births before
the age of ten years is reached
frern 2,462 to 1,289.
, It is also interesting to note
the lower 'rate of infant mor-
tality in 1921 as cOmpared with
1920.' In the former year of
'every 1,000 children born 91.2
died,' while in 1920 of • every
1,000 births 103.7 died in the
Eget year of life.
University Enrolment.
At the beginning of the present uni-
versity session the new entrance re-
quirements in the Faculty of Arts
went into effect at the Univereity of
Toronto. It had been thought that
the higher standards would have ma-
terially reduced the enrolment but
such has not been the case. In Uni-
versity College, the largest of the four
federated Arts Colleges; there are 338
First Year students, while last year
there were 397 and the total enrolment
in all four Years is 1,042 as compared
with. last year's total of 1,111. In the,
other three Arts Colleges the decrease
is even less.
Where are the 59 who would have
been in the First Year in Ares under
the old conditions? Almost certainly
they are in High Schools and Collegi-
ate „Institutes throughout the province

home at less expense and preparing

What has been the effect of the
