The singer had withdrawn apart from the rest and was seat- ed on a rock brooding ov=-- tiie loss of his foal. His thoughts were interrupted by Hawkers who apt)?“- ed and began making preparations for supper. During the preDB-TAJOH Hatvkeye begins a conversation with the strange singer and learns that his name is David —-_D81v1d Gamm- and Limit his profession is singing Secretly amused with this queer person, the scout begins an ex- planation of the nature of their abode. They are on an Island, the water from the falls flowing on either side of them. At one time the water had fallen over this very spot but during themlrivsage of time the falls had gir tiailly receeded until they reached their present station, The scout lifts a curtain disclosing a cave, towhich there are two exits.

Fueling secure the travellers en- jor their supper and begin to amuse themselves by singing when a hor- rible noise rends the air, They all fall silent, I-Iawkeye and the In- dlans listening intently.

There has been, in general, lessened expenditure by our d1.- tricls on school property and school equipment, resulting in a present condition of there being ten neglected schools for every attrac- tive ona with a consequent dimin- ishing of the average child's inter- est in school-life until our average school attendance has been degrad- ed to the lowe 1t in Canada. And there has been, apart from the war factor altogether, what amounts to- day to a mass emigration of our young people away from our prov- ince in search of a material security and in search of educational facili- ties which they feel they cannot obtain here, As one travels through the most of the rural part of our fair Island today one cannot but be deeply impressed by the sense of peace everywhei-e-"peace and poverty."
