EARLY TRAINING
child-training begins and child character is formed earlier than mo.-.i parents suppose. Out of this erroneous notion comes the la- mentable failure of so much of our home-training of children. Many a child is not counted by his parents as old enough to be fairly imdor training until his habits and rhziracter are practically influenced
'for all time.
Vt is safe to conclude that the
permanent trend of a. child's character is likely to be given by- the time he. is seven years old: his training must begin at birth if he is not to be the loser because of this neglect. The old-fashioned doctrine of llnplicit obedie . which came 0 many of us early in life. was elpful to us because it was never delayed. as it is now. until the child can reason.

THE STUDY OF FISH
A fish lives in the water where i: must breathe. move and find I' food. The water worldls qui-;e ':flt-rent from the air world and the fish have developed forms. senses. and habits which fit them ':-.r life in the water.
The goldfish can be used as a 'lli.ljPCt for this lesson because it :.n be so conveniently kept where he pupils may see it. B fore the zniniis begin the study raw the .oldflsh on the board. with all Vinyls labeled: thus the pupils will )i' able to learn the parts of the .5-:1 by consulting it and not be Tllllpciied to commit them to mem- zry arbitrarily.
Observations-l. Where do fish live? 2. What is the sh pe of a fish when seen from above Where is the widest part? What is its iinpe seen from the side? Think i you can in how many ways the uiape of the fish is adapted for '1l0l'il1g swiftly through the water 2 How many fins has a fish? -3. How many fins are there in all? Four of these fins are in pairs: nhere are they situated? Which rair corresponds to our arms? which to our legs?
5. Describe the pectoral fins How
are they used? 5. How are the ventral fins vused? 7. observe a (hrsal fin and an aral fin. How are they used when the fish is swimming? 8. With what fin does the fish push itself through the water? 9. Watch the goldfish swim and describe the action of all the fins while it is in motion. In what lmsition are the fins when the fish is at rest? 10. What is the nature of the covering of the fish? In what direction do the scales seem to overlap? Of what use to the fish is this scslev covering?
ll. Note carefully the eyes of the fish. lire the eyes placed so that the fish can see in .all direc- lions? Has it any eyelids? 12. Do you think fishes breathe through their nostrils? 13. De- scribe the mouth of the fish Does it open uvvward. downward or di- recily in front? How does the fish catch its prey? 14. Is the mouth l:ept always in motion? Do you th'nk the fish is swallowinrr water all the time? Does the gill cover move with the movement of the mouth? How does a fish breathe? 15. What are the colors of the goldfish above and below.
OUR CALENDAR (Continued)
This error was corrected by Aug- lstus Caesar in 8 BC. who. not to be outdone by.his Pl decessor re- named the six month August af- ter himself. Many writers on the subject state that Augustus, not wishing to have less days in the month bearing his name than any other month, stole a day from February and altered the succeed- ing months so that they should have 30 and 81 days alternately.
For fifteen centuries the Julian calendar was maintained unalter- ed. but'by this time a very slight dciect in its fundamental as- uiniption that the year is 36514 ('ays had become serious. .
Actually the length of the year Instead of being 365 "days and 6 hours. is found by the refined methods of modern astronomy to as 365 days, 5 hours. 49 minutes ind 46 seconds. This error of 10 ninutes and I4 seconds amounts. 'u 128 years. to one day. In the .ourse of a few centuries the sea- -ona determined by the relative msltions of sun and earth would riinnvo with regard to their oc-
rna GOLDEN
The Golden Gate Bridge is built ecrom the outer mouth of the treat harbour of San Francisco. California. The Golden Gate. is steep-sided channel 4 miles long and 1 mile wide, is the entrance to San Francisco Bay. It was first Slzhted by Sir Francis Drake.
The Forty-Nine-rs. arriving in March of gold, thought its name ass a good-luck symbol. The main r-nan of this bridge is 4,200 feet in l:ngtb. It is the longest suspen-
clirrence in the months of the calendar.
In order to restore the vernal or spins; equinox to its original piece in the calendar, Pobe Gregory XIII decreed that in 1582 the day following March. 11th should be reckoned March 21st. Furthermore. in order to keep the calendar cor- rect Gregory XIII ordered that the extra day in February should be dropped in every century year except those divisible by 400. Thus who was not a leap year but 1800 was
Ii; has been proposed that the Gxegorian rule should be extended so that all thousand years. except those divisible by 4000 will be leap years. Thus 2000 will be a leap year but 4000 will be a common year. Adopting this extension, our present calendar will be less than one day in error in 20,000 years.
England did not put it into prac- tice until 1752 when the error had grown to 11 days, and consequent- ly this number of days had to be dropped.

LANGUAGE GAME
.Here is a game that provides practice in recognising parts of speech, in arranging ideas in sen- tences; it also furnishes situations for informal oral language.
Write each of the following sen- tences (or sentences of your own) on strips of paper or cardboard.
1. Big bells rang out clearly. 2. James told mefhe would come. 3. She slowly climbed the ladder. 4. Cold January is often the month he saws wood. 5. Good work re- pays men who try hard. 8. Quick- ly the artist sketched faint trails he loved dearly.
Cut the sentence into pieces. each piece bearing a word. (Art- icles such as A. The, should be in- chided on a piece with another word.) Place the word pieces in separate envelopes, or give each piece a number to keep the words from each sentence separate from
those of others.
Distribute word pieces to each pupil until one sentence has been handed out .The teacher then calls verb, please; adjective. please. etc. until all the words have been call- ed for and placed on the table or disk.
If the teacher prefers, she can have the child write his word (if he responds correctly) on the board. In either case when all words have been returned the pli- pils bulld the sentence. Where more than one an ngement is possible all sentences should be written. The class will then dis- cuss. which arrangeme it makes the best sentence.
This exercise can be varied in many ways. If the teacher pre- pares his own sentences. he should take care that he avoids words that could be either nouns, verbs, etc.
BRITISH COLUMBIA
British Columbia had been open- ed up by Alexander MacKenzie and his company. Later the North-West Company developed it until 1830 when the Hudson Bay Company took it over. About 1842 American settlers began to pour into the country and three years later settlements began on Van- couver Island.
The first Governor of the Island was Sir James Douglas who was afterwards made the head of the I-rst. popular government on this island. The discovery of coal in i849 attracted settlers. The set- tlement on the mainland did not grow much until 1857-58 when flu gold rush to Grand Forks began. It did not last long but some of the miners remained.
As a result of this growth of settlers the mainland was formed into I colony in 1858 with New Westminster as the capital. In 1866 British Columbia and Van- couver Island were united. They uere completely out off from all contest with the rest of Canada by the Rocky Mountains. There was great danger of all this territory being annexed by the Americans.
The British Government used pressure to make British Colum- bis consent to unite with the oth- er provinces of the Dominion. At last in I871 British Columbia en- tcred Confederation on the under- standing that Canada should with- in ten years complete a transcon- tinental railway. The C. P. R. ful- filled its pledge.
CAUSES OF THE SLOW GROWTH OF NEW FRANCE
l. The early colonists belonged to the younger sons of the nobil- :ty and to the adventurous. all of whom were unsuitable as settlers in a new land.
2. The emigration of women was not encouraged.
3. The Iroquois made inroads on the colony and thus checked im- migration.
4. People in France were not anxious to go where they were likely to be frozen or scalped.
5. Very little had been spent on the defence of the colony or on the provision of properly trained troopsu Tile English colonists threatened the colony and Kirk's capture of Quebec and the de- struction of the French fleet caus-
ed much concern.
6. The colony was so far froln France that it was difficult to keep in touch with the mother- land.
7. The Jesuits had already es- tablished their missions and did not want settlers to disturb their work among the Indians. The fur- traders also wished to be left alone to avoid competition. Both had their eyes on the Indians and would have made New France merely a combined mission station and trading post.
it. The national character of the French was too adventurous and romantic to allow them to settle down to the humdrum settlement of the land.

EARLIEST SETTLEMENT (Cape of Good Hope)
The earliest settlement wasmads by the Dutch in 1652. From that year until 1795. the colony was ruled by the Dutch East India Company. During this period., im- migrants came to the colony from Holland, France and Germany. In addition, many slaves were import- cd from East Africa, Madagascar, the East Indies. and the Malay Peninsula.
When the British took control. settlement had extended from the original colony at Cape Town, be- yond Tabls Mountain, over the Karroo. almost as far as the Or- ange River.
The first settlers numbered about 1'0 servants of the Dutch East India Company. By 1795, there were over ld.000 Europeans con- trolling 17.0w slaves. and an un- known number of Bushman and Hottentots.
The Dutch farmers were called Boers. They were not farmers in the ordinary sense of the word. ll-ecauso they were not content to cultivate their farms and raise crops. They were really herdsmen. They owned enormous herds of
cattle. for the support of which they needed vast tracts of lanli, thousands of acres in extent.
They were independent, and they objected to interference by any- one. They really wanted to be absolute rulers over their own households and dependents. The Boers were deeply religious 'n their own way. The head of the household always led in the daily reading of the Bible and in the singing of hymns.
At the close of the wars with Napoleon in lBl5. the entire control of the South African area fell into British hands. The British Government paid to the Govern- ment of Holland a large sum of money to compensate for the loss of territoryx .
British settlement in Cape Col- ony commsnced in 1820. This com- ing of British settlers into the area between Port Elisabeth and Orahamstown led to friction. which finally caused the Great Trek of 183

O ACADIA
Acadia, a French colony. was three timemoverrun by the English and three times it was handed back to France. Finally the Brit- ish and New Englsnders took it in i710 and by the Peace of Utrecht in ms it was transferred to Brit- ish rule and became N a Bootia.
Cape Breton Island remained French and here was built the powerful fortress of Loufsburg. This fortress was captured by New ltnglanders in 1745 and handed back in 1748. It finally

In I140 Halifax was founded as the capital of Nova Scott: and English settlement began. Ever since the Treaty of Utrecht, l7l3, Acadia had been innritish hands when a prospect of war between France and England arose. paid agents were sent among the French Acadiam to stir up the hab- itants against the British. They declared that the Acadia ceded to England did not include the pen- insula of Nova lcotia.

Charles Linnaeus was born at Rashult, Sweden. in May, 1707. In i727 he was sent to Lund. and afterwards to Upsala University to study medicine, but he devoted himself mostly to the study of botany. - ,
His love of nature was discove ed by a kind professor. through whose help Linnaeus was sent on a scientific tour in Lapland. The book which he wrote giving the result of his travels and investi- gation, brought him the friend- ship of I rich Dutch banker. who employed Linnaeus to superintenil his garden.
The naturalist delighted in this work. He classified all the plants and trees and shrubs. and, while so studying, wrote his first great work on the scheme of things in nature as it seemed to him. '
Afterward he held various pro- fessorshlps; he lectured and prac- ticed as e. doctor: he was honoured by his sovereign, and was able to buy himself I charming little est- ate, when he gathered together a wonderful collection of plant and animal life.
This collection was afterward bought for England. Bis" days closed in peace and happiness in 1778: and he was beloved and greatly respected by the whole of Europe. I

FORT DUQUESNE
The fort remained in the hands of the French and was named after the Governor of Canada. In 1755. Braddock was defeated and killed in an attempt to seize it, but in 1753 it was easily taken by Forbes when the capture of Fort Frontenac cut off its supplies.

His work has. of course. been
greatly extended and developed: but it is his system which we have followed. and his scientific names which we employ: names which rfcscribe in Latin Greek the nature and characteristics of the animal or plant to which a title has to be given. Flowers which had no meaning for others seemed to be an open book of knowledge for him, and many were the experiments he would try. by bringing in new wild flowers from the woods and planting them in his father's gar- den.
