Ll'l‘TLF. THINGS I

Sir.——Somt-times little things Ieem all important in our lives: perhaps it is because of the part they play in shaping our future. You recall Miles O'Rc.ll.V'5 ll0""l1

"So don't (lf‘.\’pl<-”. llie ltltlc

things

Which happen daily round us. For name of them miiy chance

take wings "

To startle and astound us.

I like the way that Julia A. Fletcher Carney rxPl‘f‘5§“5 "'9 same thought:

“Little drops nf‘\-rater, little

grains of sand.

Make the mighty ocuin and the

pleasant land.

So the. little monients, humhlci though they be,

Make the mighty ages of eter- nit.y."

Fifty years ago that important little thing for me was it post- card wliirli llflfl blown about Qvecn Street and landed on the sidewalk in front nl me outside Stevenson‘: tinsmitli shop. On ll.

was a picture of t_wo open hands, palm in palm. wris!-strapped by :- he-mpen cablc. in lll(‘ll‘ flesh color they appeared very realistic. Beneath the picture vrcrc lll(‘ words, "Are Your li.intis Tied?"

Through that card I became connected for years with the larg- est educational institution in the world. first as it studrni, than in their P. E. I. repi-L-srntativc and li‘.l€I' as a Maritime Division Sup- erintendent of the firld organiz- ation. These schools founded at system of education by mail. They made no claim to be a sub- atltute for the. regular school and college. They were designed to fill a very great need for in- struciion in the industrial scien- ces by those who lied to earn their living while they learned the theory and most efficient practice of their actual daltv work. Expcrinicni wa.-' made in IP91 with a School of Mines of. fcrlng five distinct courses. Later other schools were added, but al- ways over 60% of the students were engaged in some. form of in- tlusiriel toll. The schools employ- .-d the most competent instructors that could he scrtirr-d

It took the field man a few hours to copy mu-n paper. but 52 of them in the year enabled him through time in study the "technical papers" of all the coursel. Of course, these pap. era were more or less superficial, yet theymlways whetted the field- man'.v ambition to obtain further knowledge. and he always had the text books at hand for further man the fact that they enabled those who were advanced in varloul calllngs.

Reading about this election in the smallest. American State has atrengtheried my conviction. which I have hell for name time now, that. this Inland should have an official Provincial bird. Unfortun- ately, we don't. have many songs- Len in our midst; but, we do have a number of hudy birds who. while they may not am; very well, at least do the beat. they can with the little talent they have and. after all, there are other com- mendable feetures in a bird. as in a. men or woman, besides the abil- ity to warble prime-donna fash- ion. not that matter. the Rhode Island hen could hardly be num- bered among the singers.

The Robin certainly would be I contender in any referendum; but in my personal opinion, with all due reqpect. to the little fellow. he in quite arrogant enough as it is. without having his picture on the letter-heads of Government offic- lala I am in Little dubious. too. about his ethical standards. The way he bx-owlbeats and tortures the innocent. angle worm before swel- lowim him add: notihlng to hie moral atetiu-e. Any way, he spends too much time away from the le- lend to qualify for dlatliictlve cit- lzeiiahip. A whole week of Apru has gone and he is still missing. so far as his elnelns ability is concerned, I am sure it has been much exaggerated. There are Plen- ty of birds who sing much better and make mueh fuss about it.
