CHRISTMAS CHEER

lion than the usual warmth and ____!eartinea| characterised the oele- bration this year of Christmas throughout the city and Province. _ lilo church services were very largo- y attended, and were fully in keep- hig with the spirit of the occasion. Vbitations were made to the hos- pitals, the orphanages, the Sanator- hm and the Infirmary. Many needy children were the recipients of Christmas cheer at the Dispensary Ohrishnas tree. by the Salvation Army and other organizations; and all those on the Santa Pal list were attended to. There were many happy family reunions, and the ex- ahaiige of presents, cards and greetings was naver more in evi-

dEDCE.

1t was evident. also this year that more money was in circulation, and é-Qghere was a greater spirit of optim- ‘am among merchants and others. ‘Tfhan for some years past. The jjooras for several Christmas were crowded with shop- pers, and there was a great rush of

business through the post office.

The weather also was favourable i0 the CXlJOffHICIlI. of Christmas in the tune-honoured fashion. There was a sufficiency of snow to make good roads. and the temperature

was mild and agrccuble.

1n addition to the magnificent religious music provided at the church services. a fine Christmas broadcast was heard on Christmas Eve over the Canadian Commission hookup, including the chanting of Lauds and Benediction by the Ben- edictine Monks in Germany and the singing of Christmas carols by a boys’ choir in Berlin, as well as a fine rendition of several of the choruses from Handel's "Messiah"

Of special interest was the Em- pire broadcast on Christmas morn- ing, the message by His Majesty the King. and the exchange of greet- ings DCIWCOn the far-flung ccntrus of the Empire, living hrard with great appreciation and enjoyment

EDUCATIONAL PROBLEM

The annual survey of education in Canada, published with a. wealth of tables by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. has this interesting speculation on school enrolment:

“For the first time in the his- tory of Canada the census of 1931 showed a smaller number of children under the age of five than between the ages of five and nine Ia i'.ve year group in each case.) This moans that the num- ber starting to school in the next “V! years will not be sufficient to replace those who started in the preced ng five years and school attendance will consequent- ly declne unless children stay in school to a later age and thus keep up the total enrolment."
