A recent onler-in-council adopted by the PrOA'incial Executive, and which applies to eA'ery school in the Province, reads as follows: "It is required of each and every pupil of a public school or high school that he be subject to tlie school discipline on the school premises, in going to and coming from school and at all games and school functions avIicii- eA'or and Avherever held." For some time past it has been observed.. .that when the lively youths from the high school of one city get into ���������another in attendance at some game between two schools they have a feeling that "school's out," so to speak, and they can raise all the ructions they please.

Tlie Postal Library is a project to make the exchange of books among the people of Canada as easy and inexpen- siA'e as-it is to' receive or send ordinary mail. ' /, - . " , . '" Q. Has such a library -been provided, in ;any other country? A. No. It-is a new scheme, and affords Canada an opportunity.to not only add a much-needed public service for the people of this Dominion but also to lead-the other nations in a great move ment. ��������� < ���������' Q. Why is it called the Postal, Library? ' ' r -A. Because the library, is to be provided by the people of Canada and operated by the Post Office Department. Q. Why should the Government undertake to provide libraries?. ' A. A survey , of the whole ��������� country sIioavs that the people.are .new poorly supplied with library facilities. Heretofore , philanthropists such as Andrew- Carnegie have been largely relied upon to supply the1 needs of libraries.. De-��������� penpendencc. upon philanthropy is unworthy the great Canadian people. Besides the results of such dependence to date are Arery meagre and scattered.

CHRISTMAS TREE The Christmas Tree in connection with the Presbyterian Sunday school held on.Christmas Eve was so well attended that standing room was at a premium. The children entertained the large audience with their songs and recitations in a way that reflected credit on their teachers.

Postal Library will supply the whole ���������need of all "the people of every community in the country and that without delay. Q. Why should the Post Office Department operate the library? ��������� A. The Post Office operates every- wdiere and all the time. It,is already, established. It noAV has housing-facilities in every" community. It has the best and most inexpensive facilities for distribution and collection- of books.-- The addition of the library sendee to the Post Office is certainly as natural as that of the Parcel post. Q. Would tlie reservation' of education to the provinces by the British North America Act prevent the Dominion Government from undertaking the Postal library? A. Writing on this subject the Hon- orableorable J. R. Boyle, Minister of Education for the Province of Alberta, says: "If the Dominion tGovernmen Avere prepared to undertake this work " ther Avould be no serious objections to their doing so on any constitutional grounds.'' The Act confers all Tost Office authority upon the Dominion GoA'ernment. The Postal Library is a public servico clearly beyond Provincial administration. QQ.

Mr. Kohl preached impressive sermons. Tho subject in the forenoon was "The Incarnation of Jesus Christ," and tlie evening avc had a practical and telling address 'on '���������Lessons from the Shepherds of Beth- leham." Mrs. Win. C<>utts,an<l Miss Bell sang appropriate solos much appreciated. The Xmas free concert was a great success in every respect. The prospects of seeing the children act a number of scenes from Longfellow's Indian poem, "Hiawatha" brought a large crown, the Avcather being ideal. Tho concert began by tho avIioIc audience singing "Hark the Herald Angels Sing." The first part of tho program was .filled by the children dressed and colored like Indians, acting some of scense in TlhiAvatha conducted by Miss Reid. A forest glade Avas extemporized "on the platform Avhere the children acted in splendid style and at the close of each scene were heartily applauded. The second part of the program was conducted by Miss Bell, Avho had the children Avell trained in choruses, songs and recitations. All the children took part in the Xmas choruses. A trio was Avell sung by the Misses May and Sadie Gillis and EfTie McLean. A good dialoguo, "At Lunch in a Restaurant" was given by the Misses Emily rCox, Lucy Owen and Effie McLean. The Misses Eilie and Katie McLean and little Janet Millor recited "-very Avell indeed. The. Christmas tree was decorated and well covered with presents. Each child received a bag of- candies and nuts. Rev. Mr. Reid presided and expressed his pleasure at seeing so many present to enjoy the excellent concert provided for them and he hoped the interest and attendance Avould' increase in the Sabbath school after having such a pleasant and profitable evening. A number of children got small gifts for attendance and diligence at the Sabbath school durin WORK BEING RUSHED ON BIG BRIDGE Messrs. Armstrong & Morrison, the Avell-known bridge contractors, of Vancouver, are rushing work on the substructure for the big railway bridge for tlie Kettle Valley over the Fraser Ivive'r at Hope. The same firm built the Provincial Government bridge over the Eraser in .1902-8' and- they have more plant on hand for the present job than they had oii the bridge at New Westminster. There are three piers to be built, each 24 by ������0 feet in dimension^, and So i'eet in" height, rising some 30 feet above Avntor level. Eight thousand yards of concrete arc estimated to bo required for this construction, and !2fi men Avill be employed on the work. As work Avill go on day and night, with three shifts of men, very rapid progress will bo made. The foundations of the caissons Avill be built on the Avhari" which has been constructed. They will be launched from there and towed to place whore they Avill bo built up and sunk in position. Then' the air compressing plant'will be con-' nected up and the caissons forced down in the bed of the river to firm foundation. l , Three stool shafts, tAvo of them two feet in diameter and one of three feet diameter will be installed in each caisson as tlie piers are being built, in the two smaller shafts material exca- A'atcd'~from the bottoms of the caissons will be elevated and material for building the concrete piers will be lowered in large steel buckets. Tho larger shaft is for the men to go up and down to their Avork. Each shaft is air-locked, steel ��������� doors, perfectly air-tight, being placed so that the men going down are locked in a chamber into Avhich the compressed air is alloAved to enter until it is at the same pressure as in the loAver part of the shaft. The loAvcr door is then opened and the men proceed to the bottom level. Tho. same method is used in lowering material, and the operation is reversed in hoisting up from the bottom: The men work' in a constant temperature of about.60 degrees and are not affected by climate conditions, so that Avintcr is no more disagreeable. for the work below the surface -than summer.

After votes of thanks for the Dominion and Provincial Governments having made grants towards its all who had done so much to make the concert a success it was closed by all singing heartily "God Save the King." Xmas day was spent quietly, many having friends for dinner. A Burns concert is to be held in the church hereon Wednesday, 7th January. Rev. Dr. MacKinnon from Vancouver, will give his popular address on the "Life and Times of Burns, the Poet," which will be well illustrated by song and recitation by Messrs. Blair and Ilay. Mrs. Wm. Coutts, Miss Bell and Mrs. Reid have returned to "The Manse" after spending Xmastide in Vancouver. Miss Milne, of Falkirk, Scotland, is spending Xmas with Miss Reid at the homo of Mr. and M/rs.

For many years the raihvay has passed this point, a ferry across the river has been the only means of com- municiation, until the past summer Avhen the Canadian Northern line on the south side was completed into Hope. Already signs of aAvakening are in ' evidence. And Avith three railways entering there, it is quite within range of possibility that the old toAvn of Cariboo days will awaken from its long lethargy and take its place in modern progress. MISSION GIH -NEWS ITEMS Chief Constable Clarkson reports bus-, iness in his line A'ery quiet during the Christmas festivities, there being only one case, of drunkenness on tho blotter, and 'that was an Indian from across the river. This speaks well for the way kiAv and order are maintained in Mission City. - (From Frnser Valley Record) A meeting of the Members of the Bums Club was held in the Council Chamber on Monday evening, the 22nd inst., to decide how best to celebrate tho anniversary of the poet's birthday. On account of several other attraction that evening there was only a small attendance and nothing-was decided but that another meeting be called for January 2nd, 1914, when it. is hoped more members will attend and that others in sympathy with the club Avill enroll as members and ensure a participation in a real good Robbie's night.

Owen, Eugenie, only daughter of George Fox, of "London, England, Avas married to Mr. Henry George ��������� Cayley, third son of the Kev. R. A. Cayley, of Stowell Rectory, Sherborne, England. ��������� The bride was given away by her brothers Mr. G. O. M. Fox and- Mr. B. H. Fox acted as best man. A few.intimate friends were entertained at the Hotel Vancouver and later the newly married couple left for a trip to Seattle. Miss Fox is a sister .of the Fox Bros., of the Kootenay Jam Co., and Avell known in society circles in Mission City. Nothing more nas been heard of the disappearance of Mr. D.

Her next door neighbor was Lucy Drake, who" had married Orville Beers on the same day that Captain Fisb bad led Maria .to the altar.' Indeed, there Avas still some feeling in the matter of the weddings, for it seemed that Lucy, was to be Maria's bridesmaid and Or viile was to be the best man, but they bad slipped away to the church a half hour before the time set for the captain's wedding, and, taking advantage of the assembled guests and the decorated church, they had been married by the bewildered minister and Avere out in tiie vestry ready to greet Maria and her prospective husband when they arrived.

ShO got uuuugu. 1x10 Blue eiuruuce, w������ never knew. . Ho had burned the papers before she got there, and when eho tried to kill him he had struck her hand aside. At noon that day, I telephoned to Margery. ��������� "Como up," I Bald, '/and bring the keys to the Monmouth: avenue house. I have some things to, tell you and��������� some things to ask you." I met her at the station with" Lady, Gray and ttie^trap. My plans for that afternoon were comprehensive. They, Included what I hoped to be the solution of tho Aunt Jane mystery. Also they included a little drive through tho park and. a���������well, ������ small tell about that all I am going to te)U at the propeff time. To play propriety, Edith met us aflt the house. It was atfll closed, and even in the short time! t3iat had elapsed It smelled close and musty. At the door into the drawing room I stopped them. ~ , "Now, this is going ita be a sort of game," I explained. "It's a sort of button, button, who's got' the button, without the button. We are looking for a. drawer, receptacle! - or - closet, which shall contain, bunched'together, and without regard to whether they should be there or not, a small revolver, two military brushes and a. clothes brush, two or. three soft frosoined shirts, perhaps a half dozen cellars, and a suit of underwear. Also a s.*mall flat package about eights Inches lo'og and three wide/' "What in the world are! you talking .about?" Edith, asked., "I am not talking,, I am theorizing,", I explained. I think Margery caught my idea at once, and as Edith was mady for anything, we commenced the search..Edith took the top fjoor. being;1 accustomed, she said, to finding unexpected things in the servants'. quart ers: Margery, took the lower Goo?, an 8, for certain reasons, I took the secon ii. For ten minutes there was no result. At the end of that time I had finished two rooms and, comm<raced on tat* blue boudoir. And here; on the top shelf of a three corneredi Empire cupboard, with glass doors, and spindle legs, I found what I was .looking for. Every article was there. I stuffed a small package into my pocket and called the two girls. , "The lost is found,'* 1 stated calmly, when we were *)\ together in tho library. "When did -you iose anything?" Edith demand'ed. "Do you.mean to say, Jack Krl0x. that you brought us here to heir, you find a suit of gaudy pajamas and a pair of military brusheslr> "I br<jUght you here to1 find Aunt ,Jane/-* I said soberly, taklnjr a letter and'the flat package out of,my pocket. 'You see, my theory worked out Here la* Aunt Jaue. and there is th������*> money .Srom the Russia leather basr." * I laid the packet in Margery's lap and .without ceremony opened Hbe. letter, it began: My .Dearest NIece-I arn writing ".to you because I cannot think T"vhat t0 8ay'to Sister "Utitia..

He is not like himself. The last time 1 saw blm he aave mo a Utile piece of paper with a number on It, and he said they followed him everywhere and were driving him crazy. Try to have him see a doctor. And I left a bottle of "complexion cream in the little closet over my mantel, where I had hidden my hat and shoes that I wore. Please destroy it before your Aunt Letitla sees it Goodby, my dear nlecel I suppose I am growing frivolous In my old-age, but I am going to have silk linings in my clothes before I die. ' YOUR LOVING AUNT JANE. When Margery stopped reading there was an amazed silence. Then we all three burst into relieved, uncontrolled mirth. The dear, little old lady, with her new'independence and her sixty- five-year-old, romantic, starved heart! Then we opened the packet, which was a sadder business, for it had represented Allan Fleming's last clutch at his waning-public credit. Edith ran to the telephone with the news for Fred, and for the erst time that, day. Margery and I were alone. Sue was standing with one hand on the library table. In tho ntuw she held Aunt Jane s u-rcer, nair tremulous, wholly tender. I put my hand over hers on the table. - ' '.'Margery!1'-1 said. ' She did not stir. . "Margery, I want my answer, dear. f*\'ove you���������love you. It Isn't possible to" jell you how much. There isn't enougii time in all existence to tell you. iTou are mine, Margery���������mine. You can't get away from that" She'turned very slowly and looked at me'with her level eyes. "Yours!" she replied softly, and I took her in my arms. Edith was still at the telephone. "1 don't know," she was saying. "Just wait until 1 see." ���������"Margory, 1 want my 0nt������Wor^ dear;" /, t !������������������!��������������������������� i-.-inif toward tne door Mar* tec;'.'.' *.;i injifd. but I held ber tight. liif iiuimvuy Edith stopped and .--.., -d. iln-ii sue went swiftly back to v.: - 'ujeplioni*.'- -������������������.Yfj*. dear," she said sweetly.

BOAT SERVICE FOR RIVER Tlie ''^ew boat ;8crvi> ce within; ten Westminstcr-Clullnvack is to ho' resumed and days the stern wheeler Skcona will be making tlie river trip in command of On pi. (J. K. Seymour. Henry llugganl, of New .Westminster, and a holder of much properly in the Fraser Vullo.v, i.s (u maunge the busi- ���������nesH end of tlie venture. ' Though this move may not have rc: suited- from tlie agitation by Boards of Trade along tlie river, certainly it comes at a time when residents of the valley are asking strenuously for tlie resumption of the run of tlie Heaver, and latterly .the 1'ayslreak.' Chilliwack Board of Trade made the first tangible effort and received undorsation from the Westminster Board. , The Skeciia is almost a new boat and ' was built hut five years ago. She is a sternwheeler, burns oil, .is about 135 feet long, Avith a 25-foot beam. . Her speed is first rule, and she can easily carry 200 passengers. She was first run on the Skeena river and lately opera led in Burrard Inlet, running to .Indian river. Tho new- boat will sail from New- Westminster pu M'oiulnys, Wednesdays and Fridays, returning from Chilliwack on Tuesdays/ Thursdays and Saturdays, and lying hero over Sunday. On the vun she will v.:all at all points along the Fraser and her owners hope to - handle much freight from all parts of lhe valley. . ^Captain Seymour, who is to be master ���������of the Skeena,, has hud 25 years' experience in the river and. it is worth uotiug that ho. and his partner, Mr. Haggard, both understanding conditions' in the valley, have sufficient confidence in it to enter their boat in competition with ..the electric line. Of Captain Seymour's efficiency there is no question. He commanded the Beaver for a. long time, and is-highly valued by the C. P. R., on whose boats he had been.' , . ��������� IS HIGHLY APPRECIATED (From the Huntingdon Star) ' .The public meeting stated in the last issue of the Star did not come off until- Monday evening hist, when a number of- the citizens met in the immigration offices and discussed public matters, matters of import to the community. Mr. Mike Murphy was chairman, enough to guarantee that tlie meeting would be guided along the path that makes for the best interest of Huntingdon and community. Mr. W. It. Miller was the secretary. The next meeting will beheld-in the immigration offices on the 5th January, 1914, when it is expected . a much larger tuidiencc will be present. This meeting will decide when the following meeting will be held, as it is the intention-of the promoters of these, citizens' meetings"to hold them twice a month on the first and third Monday of, each month. Many matters were discussed and the. following resolution was passed and endorsed by the meeting: "We, present at this meeting, have decided that a vote of thanks be tendered ���������Mr. S. A. Cawley as a small token or* our appreciation of his efforts in our behalf in placing before the public-works department our needs and procuring for us"the appropriation that has been expended to such good advantage on the roads throughout Huntingdon and Sumas municipalitj'. We also desire to. express our appreciation of the work of the government road superintendent, Mr. A. A. Cruikshank, whom we' feel has done this work carefully and judi- ,- ciously, and to the entire satisfaction of the large majority of the people of this district."

POSTAL LIBRARY FOR CANADA (Cou-inucd from Pago One) maintain. Best results are had by reading at homo or in private. The Postal Iiibray scheme does, not include public rending rooms.' Instead , the delivery and-collection of books through the mail extends the library to every home, school, office, and individual. "Ooing to the,library" will hereafter be out of date as the Postal Library will come to you. Q. Would not the cost of providing the Postal Library be prohibitive? any number of books desired, provided of course, his guarantee was sufficient. Q. Would not the expense of suuli service be excessive? ,���������A. The postal service is the best example of efficiency and economy found in civilized countries. 'The low cost of the clerical work- and of the transportation, collection and distribution by the,Post Office has been a continuous astoishmont. The Postal Library will operate by mail. There will be no waste of time in conversation. The' books will go and come along with letters, papers and parcels and the expense of tlie additional service will-be light. Q. What fees are contemplated for tho use of books? GIVEN TICKET BACK HOME A. Let us assume that one book pei , .. capita with proper means of circulation] A.,The enterprise should be launched would lie an adequate library for all the on a self-supporting basis, ft is be- .The following- .were those who contributed towards .purchasing transportation , . east, for Howard Valentine: J.

C- Coogan, SO ' people. Again let us assume that for an average of $1.00 per volume a suitable collection of books can be purchased by the Government. This is a larger supply and a higher cost than for any public library now in existence in Canada. The amount therefore required to purchase all the books for the Postal Library would be less than $.10,000,000 That is a comparatively small appropriation for the Government. The Parliament at' its last session provided $1.0,000,000 to assist the provinces in Veterinary Education. The improvement of a single harbour often costs a larger amount, while a modern battleship is estimated to cost around $15,- 000,000.00. Q. Where would this large supply of books be kept? A. The Postal Library will operate with every Post Oflice in the country as a branch.' The books would be distributed over the Dominion according to the population. A Post Office seizing 200 people would have a library of 200 books,and an office serving 10,000 people would have a library of 10,000 books, and so on. Toronto would have a library of say 400,000 volumes, Winnipeg 150,000 volumes, Halifax 46,000 volumes', Vancouver 100,000 volume's, St. John 42,000 Lethbridge 15,000, Dawson City 9,000 and so on. The libiaries in the larger cities be quite'complete in themselves. The Postmaster in a smaller office would draw on a neighbouring larger office for any book desired and winch his library did not coutaiu. Thus the most remote frontiersman in Canada would have the . same unlimited reading privileges as, those enjoyed by the wealthiest .resi-' dent of tho metropolis. Q. Would there not be a large expense for library buildings and equipment? A. With the public reading room eliminated it is believed that a large percentage of the present post offices could house the Postal Library without requiring- additional room. Some additions would no doubt be required. There will also be an expense for stacks, printed forms, records, etc. Let us assume 50c. per volume as a sufficient amount to cover all this,expense. Probably less than $5,000,000 would be required for these purposes. Q. Is there not danger of great loss by non-reutrn of books and by damage while in the hands of the people? Ai There will be the usual wear and tear which must be provided for. Ordinary libraries require security before lending books. The Postal Library "would'do the same. Each book would have a certain list value. Those desiring' to borrow books from the Postal Library would first secure and file a guarantee up to a certain amount by some ratepayer, securing the safe return* of books and payment of fees. This guarantee will protect tho library against losses. Again since the people own the Post Office they have pride in its success and are interested in its security. Q. In what manner will books be secured from the Postal Library? A. The method should be very simple. When a book is desired a postal card form .prepared for that purpose would be filled up, stamped to the amount of the required fee and dropped in the mail just the same as any other mail matter. In due time the book would be delivered in the same manner as other mail. The return of a book would be as simply done. A person might draw' lioved a fee of 2c. would be sufficient . for the use of ��������� a hook for seveu days, j A charge of 5c. per day might be made for overtime to encourage prompt re-, turn of books. The fees could be paid by attaching ordinary stamps. Q. Need the Postal Library bo confined to the circulation of books? A. No. Lantern slides, moving picture films, music^'records, and other appropriate devices for amusement and instruction may be included and thereby provide pleasant occasions for homes churches, .societies, schools, lodges and the like. Such service would.add greatly to the enjoyment of life in rural communities and on the frontier. Again the Postal Library, will elevate the profesion of librarian,to importance. There is a rapidly 'increasing domand for'expert library, service. Legislators, editors, teachers, professional people, public officials, more and more are requiring the -assistance in^ library , research. The Postal Library might provide,-this service for a fee of say 50c. per hour for the time of the librarian. Such expert service could probably be provided in all the principal centres and be made available to all the people. JOSEPH P. TRACY7. Lethbridge, Alberta, . December 20, 1013. D. McKcnzie, F. C.
