Needless to say these ave very gratifying.iu view of the frequent adverse criticism to which n newspaper is usually subject. We publish two of these without further comment: "I have just read your paper and must say that I appreciate the editorials'of Mi'. Stevens very much.

"The Western Call is, in my opinion, the best and most -thoroughly 'democratic, newspaper in Vancouver. The editor knows the truth and-speaks it fearlessly.

"City Heights, South Vancouver." x EDISON, THE INVENTOR. In a recent number of the Electrical World, there is an article on the patents of Thomas Edison. His first patent was secured in June, 1869, on an eleetro-graphic vote recorder. Since then 905 pat- 1 ents have been issued to him, 713 of whieh pertain to electrical apparatus. His greatest activity was in the years 1881 and 1882. when he was concerned with the development of the incandescent lamp and power machinery. In 1882 he was granted 75 patents, and the year before he secured 69 patents. From 1890 to 1892 there was an- i other period of activity, as shown by the number of his patents, nvhieli was 65, 32. and 65, respectively, these being devoted mainly to the .phonograph and to electric light and power machinery. Considering all. the patents that are probably pending, patents that were withdrawn, and patents not yet filed but in the course of preparation, it is estimated that the number of Edison's inventions is close to 2,000.���������Scientific American. COMMISSIONER CREHAN Will Be Candidate for License Commission. With one exception, that of Com. Edgett, the License Board of [this year has been perhaps the most satisfactory one which Vaucou- [ver has ever had. The electors will therefore be pleased to know ihat Com. Crehan has consented to again come forward as a candidate for the office. "His work during the past year has been characterized by impartiality and good judgment. He is firm but fair, iind treats all alike. He has no axe to grind nor does he personally irofit by his connection with the board. We join with others in lavishing him every success. CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION. ��������� The Conservative convention, recently held at Nelson, among pther useful things, have memorialized the Provincial Government psking that a bill be introduced compelling all telephone companies An the province to give connection with other lines.

No Answer Yet ������ .��������� Commissioner Edgett Has No Reply. We have not as yet received any direct public reply from Com. Edgett to our questions. AVe have .another one to propound this week which merits careful consideration. Last year the Bodega and Boulder (saloons) Hotels had in connection with tfheir premises two restaurants, one facing on Carrall street, the other facing on Cordova street, thus forming an "L," with one kitchen serving both places. This was directly contrary to the law, as the restaurants were sub-let and at the same time supposed to be the dining rooms of the hotels (.?). About a year ago these restaurants assigned. Owing various merchants $3,600.00. These merchants supposed they were responsible parties and part of the hotel premises, but imagine their surprise when they were informed there was nothing tor them. v They appealed to the Commissioners on January 12th. 1910, and were informed that a resolution had been passed the previous year to the effect that the Commissioners would not act as a collecting agency. The Commissioners, however, appointed a valuator to value the fixtures which were "absorbed" by the proprietors of the Bodega and the Boulder Hotels (?), who were requested to pay the creditors pro rata. The fixtures were valued at $600.00. Our question is: AVHAT WAS; DONE WITH THIS $600.00? The creditors got none���������at least some did not. One creditor lost $1,300.00 and never got a cent. Another question: DID COM. EDGETT GET HIS ACCOUNT PAID ? During the annual tour of inspection, June, 1909, the Commissioners visited a hotel in the extreme east end. "ONE" of the Commissioners remarked to the man in charge: "Your place is alright, only you do not buy your groceries in the right place." Needless to say that shortly after this a new hotel account was placed on the books of Com. Edgett. We wish to say that this is not illegal���������a Commissioner selling goods to a licensee���������but is it advisable, Mr. Voter? Another hotel, that used to stand not a mile away from the Bank of Commerce on Hastings street, stated that they had to buy their groceries from Com. Edgett because "he was a good man to stand in with," and added: "This old shack should never have a license^ anyway." That is the rub���������the lieense holders loolc on Edgett as a faithful friend, a good man to have on the board; he looks after their interests.

An interesting return has been issued by the Commonwealth ETreasurer in connection with the Invalid and Old Age Pensions \_ct of 1908. This return shows that the total number of new claims granted during the year of 1909-10 was 30,526, while the number of Ipensious taken over by tlie Commonwealth from the States was 139,875, thus making a total of 70.401 claims admitted during the [year. After deductions for deaths and cancellations, the number of [pensions current at -June 30. 1910, was 65.492. The total expendi- Iture on old age pensions during the financial year 1909-10 (not I including cost of administration) was ������1.497,330. Ottawa, Nov. 18.���������It is understood that the estimates for the coming year will contain a considerable appropriation for the construction of the Hudson's Bay railway. C. P. R. The Canadian Pacific Railway celebrated its silver jubilee recently. On November 7th, 188'5[, the Hon. Donald A. Smith, now Lord Strathcoha, drove the last spike uniting the Atlantic and Pa; cific divisions of Canada's first great trans-contiiiental railway. It was the original intention of the Canadian Government to build ;tl\e road themselves, arid Sir John A. Macdonald and some of his colleagues visited Europe to see if they could secure sufficient fund* to finance the huge undertaking. But Canada was then unknown, and the European finatfeers did not care to put their money into the new project. Then Mr. George Stephen, now Lord Mountstephen, was called upon, and somewhat reluctantly undertook the task of pushing what was then Canada's greatest railway project to successful completion. How great a success the new road was to prove not even its most enthusiastic promoter dreamed. As its completion, in 1885, the railway operated 4,357 miles', to-day it .operates 15,225 miles. Twenty-five' years ago the total earnings of the C. P. R. Company were.$8,368,000 and the operating expenses $5,143,000, Last year the total earnings (exclusive of the steamships') were $94,989j000 and the operating expenses $61 JL49.000. In 1885 there were 2,859,000 passengers; inl90.9 there were 11,172,000. The freight traffic has ri*- en from less than five million tons to more than twenty million tons. Twrenty-five years a go the company did not own a ship,- now it has no less than sixty-two vessels,ou the oceans and on the great lakes. In 1885 there Svas one through train every day for six days in. the week; now there are two. and in summer there are four trains every day in the week. Twenty-five years ago it was thought' almost a crazy scheme to build one transcontinental road across Canada; now there are two others under construction, and the country is still calling for more railways. Canada has grown a little during the last twenty-five years, and her growth has been marvellously helped by the building of her first great railway. VANCOUVER ATHLETIC CLUB. We heartily commend the action of the Vancouver Athletic Club in refusing to be drawn hit������ am alliance with the Commercial Club. The Athletic Club is an institution of inestimable valne to the city "if properly conducted,r' and we believe it has now entered upon a new era of prosperity,, which will attract the support of the citizens as never before. "Clean, healthy amateur sport!' should be the slogan. FXBE IN SCHOOL. Fortunately the fire in the High School occurred before school hours. It serves, however,, to demonstrate the wisdom of the Trustees iii abandoning wood eonstructibh-altogetlier. :,Forthe past few, years the schools are all being? constructed of fire-proof material. The High School h> an older building and' certain parts were of wooden construction, such as joists and rafters, etc. This has now given way to more modern construction. The* automatic fire alarm system worked well in this case aud proved its efficiency. B. OP W. INSPECTION. The Board of Wcxrks last Monday made ������ tour of inspection to Kitsilano, they were careful not to go very far from the corner of "York" and "-Vine," where the road is in very fair shape and consequently reported "That now there was little or no mud in Kitsilano." This sense of humor evidently got the better of them, or possibly they were trying to emulate the example of Admiral Nelson, who when advised that a superior officer was signaling him to do something he did not wish 'to do, placed his telescope to his blind eye, and said: 'I cannot see those signals, keep on your course/ " NO SMOOTH EOAD FOR BECIPBOCTTY.

Sir George forebodes the chance of its becoming the best and ge'fting in return another near, dear market for the products of the fa fm. Take the flapdoodle out of his remarks and here are the point n: 1. Mutual, tariff legislation is better than a reciprocity treaty, because it leaves both countries freer, while at t*<.same time it n rakes the question less the sport of party. 2. Great Britain will sta rd better to her bargains with Canada, being one of tbe family��������� Co (dim's your friend, not Short. 3. Abolish the duty on wheat on b������ ith sides of the line and Canadian wheat sinks its identity in Ameri- <��������� -*ui elevators. 4. Canadian cheese will lose its reputation. 5. Canadian railways and seaports will be starved out. (i. British capital twill be scared off. British capital, like any other capital, does not recognize sentiment, but goes where the best interest is. Canadian cheese brings three cents a pound more in the American than in the British market. Great Britain is in train to protect the British farmer against everything colonial except wheat. But why talk back at all? There is small danger of reciprocity going very far in Canada. It would benefit, the farmer more, than anybody else. and. though the farmer exported $120,000,000 worth last year, he is not accounted hy the schedule-makers in the same class as the manufacturer, who sold four times as much. Besides, the three transcontinental railways may be relied on to oppose it. At a pinch they might even threaten to build their branch lines norih and south.

The twentieth annual volume ot "London Statistics," just published bj the London County Council, gives a most interesting insight into London life. In 1902 the population of Greater London was 6,705,770, and in 1909 7,- 429,740; this year the estimate is 7,- 537,196. Marriage statistics show that the average Londoner marries five years earlier than the bachelor Parisian or Berliner. Most London girls marry at the age of twenty-one. Thirty-two thousand school children are taught to swim in a year, and 7,000,000 free meals are provided for hungry little ones. The gross amount insured against fire in London during 1908 was ������1,072,640,212. There are 991,383 houses, and the highest number of buildings to the acre is in Shore- ditch, where the average is 21.5. In 1908 no fewer than 17,000 persons were injured in street accidents within the Metropolitan Police District, and 326 of these were killed outright.

The Means Adopted for Preserving Them from Fire. The greatest problem of Canadian forestry to-day is the protection of the forests from Are, and it is one that the Forestry Branch of the Department pf the Intei ior is trying hard to solve. This protection has naturally been more fully provided for on the forest reserves than on the immense areas of forest which are still unreserved. On these reserves there is a force of rangers, permanently employed, who keep up the constant and careful patrol of the beat assigned them. Like the other fire rangers, these post up notices (printed on a patented sort of cloth, practically indestructible) cautioning against the setting of fire, warn settlers in the neighborhood of reserves against carelessness in setting fires to clear land, or for other' purposes, and "keep tab" on campers and sportsmen gt ing into the reserves and impress on them the. need for caution in the management of camp- fires, matches, etc. But in addition to this special meas-f ures have been put in practice on the reserves for the prevention of fires., In a word these measures comprise the burning and ploughing of fire-guards,' the making of roads, the supervision of settlers in the making of their slashings and the disposition of the result ing brush and the supervision of the: spark-arresters placed in locomotives which pass through the reserves. . In the early spring, when the snow; has gone from the open country but while it is still lying in the forest, the rangers burn the grass along the* boundaries of the reserves, so as to prevent fires from coming from outside and getting into the reserves. A total of ninety-one miles of such fire-guard was made on various Dominion forest reserves during 1909. The rangers also supervise the burning by the railways of grass and brush along their rights-of-way. Ploughed fire-guards are also made where possible, not only along the boundaries of the reserves but also in the reserves themselves. In making these guards a strip eight furrows' wide is ploughed, and on the danger side another strip, four furrows wide and distant from the first strip four rods, is ploughed. The strip between the ploughed strips is disc-harrowed in spring and fall. During last year the Cypress Hills .reserve,.iii Alberta, was surrounded by a guard of this description, several miles of guard being constructed. The railways have also ploughed guards along their lines where these cross the reserves. As opportunity offers, the rangers construct roads through the reserves. j These are found of the greatest use- | fulness in case a fire breaks out. Not only can men and supplies be conveyed | to the various parts of the reserve [reached by the road with despatch, | but the roads themselves will often ;stop a fire, provided it has not, at^ tained a large size. Where the fire ;has reached large proportions, the road can be used to back-fire from. Along the roads, too, the rangers can more efficiently patrol the areas under their charge. Durirfg 1909 almost two hundred miles of road were cut along : the boundaries of the reserves, at an ! averagecost for a road nine feet wide | of $12.73. Eleven miles of sixteen-foot | roadway was also made into the inferior of the Moose Mountain reserve t in Saskatchewan, and 78 miles of road ! cleared in the Porcupine reserve. j By these and other measures the management of the reserves is striving | to, do away with the constant menace of fife. Further information on these and other points may be obtained in the annual report of the Superintendent of Forestry (especially in the ! report of the Inspector of Forest Reserves) which fotms part of the annual report of the Department of the Interior, lately issued. | Edgar Furniture Co.

What a beautiful tone that bell has! is often hear. , There are few, however, who know how a bell receives its joyful or solemn tones. > All bells after being cast and finished must- go through a process of tuning, same as any other musical instrument before they respond with a clear, true tone. Every bell sounds 5 notes, which must respond with a clear, true tone. Every bell sounds five notes, which must blend together in order to produce perfect harmony. The tuning of a bell is done by means of shaving thin bits from various parts of the metal. It is as easy for an expert bell tuner to put a bell in tune as it is for a piano tuner to adjust his instrument to perfect chords. At first thought it would seem that a heir would be ruined should the tuner shave off too ^much at the last tuning, or the fifth sound, but such, is not the case. He would, however be obliged to begin over, starting again with the first tone, and shaving ithe bell till It gave forth its harmonious sound at the fifth note. WALDEN MANUEL'S RETREAT. Wood Norton, where King Manuel is seeking shelter, and where the Duke of Orleans has his home in exile, is perhaps the only spot in the world | where the ancient lily-spangled banner of the Kings of France still waves. Originally a shooting-box, the house was bought in the early 'sixties by the Duke of Aumale; although greatly enlarged and improved, it cannot, however, vie with the majority of the ancient and beautiful homes of England. But what it lacks in appearance it makes up in romance. There can be but few mansions which can tel! such tales of broken fortunes and hoper deferred. Within its walls, too, are enshrined all the hope of those loyal to the ancient Bourbon dynasty. To-morrow, for the first time in its history will the threshold of Wood Norton'be crossed by a King of England, for King George, accompanied by his Consort, is to pay a private visit to the fallen King.

Estimates Given CflR, 21st and WESTMINSTER AVE In any properly-constituted prison system it is essential that employment of a useful, remunerative and instructive character should be available for ihe prisoners. Nothing can be more humiliating and ridiculous than to provide work with no other object than to kill time, possessing, perhaps, a strain of punishment, but having absolutely nothing else to commend it. All such labor has been abolished ! from our gaols, and this branch of the general system has been re-organized. Industry, at an occupation helpful to the prisoner when he regains his liberty, is as important as good conduct, and a prisoner's treatment is therefore determined to a very great extent by himself. An effective progressive grade system, rewards and privileges for good conduct and industry, employment of a useful and remunerative character, supervised by competent trade instructors, have borne good results. This system keeps every man fully employed, and is one jof the best reformative influences that ��������� could possibly be found. i A correspondent sends the following clipping, believing that it will interest many of our readers as the incident related actually occurred in a Massachusetts court: A driver had been brought before the judge, charged with cruelty to animals in that he had been driving a galled mule. The prisoner had an !expert witness in a. veterinarian, who testified that, the sore on the mule's back did not pain the animal in the least. The judge listened attentively to the long technical opinion, and then demanded to know where the mule was. He was informed that it was harnessed to a wagon on the street in front of the court building. The judge ordered that court be adjourned | % for five minutes. i 'I' He took his cane and proceeded to , % the street. He approached the mule ! ������!* and with the end of his cane touched I % the sore spot on the animal's back. \% The mule almost kicked the dashboard : ��������� off the wagon. Once again the judge , % touched the sore with his cane, and I % the frantic beast almost demolished'^ the wagon with Wa kicking. i ,-- The judge returned to the bench. The prisoner was called before him. "With all due respect tothe expert testimony you have hid introduced in your behalf to show that tbe sore on the mule's back does not pain him I will fine you $50," announced the judge. "I asked the mule if the sore hurt him, and he-said it did." <i>-i><3>'J"j,4���������������,'H,'v:'l>'E'������:������2>">3->^;>'Si<*KtH:>-iHr,,;>,s,������,r,^,,TH:.. ������* f?H O. j,'J.

A FULL LINE OF CIGARS, CIGARETTES and TOBACCO. Agents for WOMAN'S BAKERY BREAD and CONFECTIONERY. The bricks with which we must build upon the foundation of love must be justice. We must teach children by appealing to their inborn sense of justice, and we must, above all, take care never to outrage that sense in our treatment of themselves. We must appeal to their love by telling them of the love and self sacrifice of the animals, and we must also he ready to live up to our own teaching and to respect the rights of the animals if we would have our children respect them too. We are not civilized so long as we take pleasure in their sufferings, and if in spite of ou/boasted civilization we allow our children to grow up callous and indifferent to the feelings of animals, we are only setting back the hand of time and handicapping the children for their future lives. Nearly eighteen hundred years ago Plutarch said "when we take our recreation, those who help in the fun ought to share in it and be amused as well," and yet thousands of us have not realized the simple truth of this, because we have not had the eyes of our hearts opened, in spite of all that mental education which has made our childhood, too often, a time of misery! To quote again from the words of John Bright, "Humanity to animals is a great point. If I were a teacher in a school 1 would make it a very important part of my business to impress every boy and girl with the duty of his or her being kind to animals." It is with the teachers than that our hopes lie. They can lead their pupils to become true nature lovers, to learn the secrets of the fields and forests without robbing nests or catching moths, buterflies or beetles. . The idea that to be a student of nature you must go about with nets, killing-bottles and pins is, happily, becoming an exploded one, thanks to the many and beautiful on nature study. As has been well said, "we need to get back to the natural element of studying tbe open book of nature, and to instruct the young to observe the free and living animals and insects instead of brooding over stuffed corpses in a museum. "Surely," said Thoreau, "the most important part of an animal is its anima, its vital spirit, on which is based its character, and all the particulars hy which it most concerns us." The Teacher, be he parent, master or guardian, must perhaps dig deep to find the heart of his pupil, but once having discovered it, and made it respond to some kindly act or interesting anecdote, he can go on, sure in the knowledge that he has touched the desired chord. By letting the child know of the wonders of nature around him by giving him the good example of such simple acts as feeding birds in winter, or watering thirsty animals in summer, and by giving him the little duties of observing and being kind to some particular wild animal or bird, he will have started a habit which will grow and flourish, till the pupil, by second nature, comes to respect the rights of his animal neighbors and thereby also respects those of his fellow humans. Give a child some idea of the habits and characteristics of those creatures which are chiefly at his mercy���������let him imagine It suffering if ill- treated, let him know that it has an individuality and understanding all its own���������and that child will respond with interested tenderness and a remembering sense of indebtedness which will grow into a fixed habit. So, starting by teaching kindness to animals a whole new world of possible means of reform will open out and the seed will be sown whereby the pupil will become, that much-desired person���������a good citizen���������respecting others and respected by others. For, to quote Richard Jefferies, "if you wish your children to think deep things, to know the holiestT etnbtions7 take" them to the woods and hills, and give them the freedom of the meadows." The Canadian Pacific railway is engaged in a comprehensive scheme of improving its line between Toronto and Sudbury, which has now become of great importance for thiou'gh traffic to the west. All the large wooden trestles are to be eliniinated, and will be replaced b.v concrete structures, allowing passage for streams in the bottoms, over which solid embank- inents of clay will be constructed. In other instances steel spans will be employed. Some idea of the character of the work''.is fitly illustrated by tlie ravine through which the Hiimber river runs, which is 80 feet deep. Mere the double arch of.concrete has already been built, the top span measuring. 2S5 feet, more than 2.001)-cubic .yards' of concieie : having been used in the structure. It will also take about 140,000 cubic yards of clay to complete the embankment, and the company hopes to finish'this work during the present year.

The Ogilvie Flour Mills company of Montreal, which has a capital of ?4,- 500,000 and a bond issue of $1,750,000, reports profits for the past year of $541,000. The bond interest took $105,000, the dividend on the preferred stock ($2,000,000)- required $140,000; and that on the common stock $200,- 000. The company's; four mills have a capacity of 14,500 barrels of flout per day. while its meal mills can turn out 2,500 barrels of corn and oatmeal a day. The demand for the lattei foodstuff is increasing so rapidly that the capacity of the Winnipeg mill wag doubled during the past year. Mr. F. W.

T. P. AND THE CROPS. Four long trains, loaded with 1910 wheat, recently left Winnipeg, via the National Transcontinental railway to Fort William, the first to be delivered to the head of the lakes over its own lines by the G. T. P. Henceforth, with the exception of the five-mile gap at Winnipeg, which is bridged by the use of the C. N. R., the G. T. P. will handle its own cars over its own lines from Edmonton to Fort William. Tho taking of this traffic over the National Transcontinental line from Winnipeg to Superior Junction and thence to the lakes opens up a new outlet for western wheat. Last year the Grand Trunk Pacific delivered to its connections at Winipeg more than 8,000,000 bushels of wheat. All this grain will now be handled b.v the Grand Trunk Pacific and Grand Trunk, and it is expected that, notwithstanding the lighter yield, this year's tonnage over the new route will exceed the amount handled last year. As a matter of fact, the dry season just passed did not affect the northern section of the wheat belt through which the Grand Trunk Pacific passes, as severely as it did the territory further south. In addition to the wheat business there is a great deal of general merchandise going into the new -settlements and new towns. Photos For GhrMmoo Make the most pleasing of gifts.

All bones left from roasts, steaks and the carcasses of poultry should be used for stock once or twice a week. Crack the bones, put them in the bottom of a kettle, cut the meat into small bits, or chop it, and put it on top of the bones; cover with cold water in the proportion of one quart of water to half a pound of meat and its proportion of bone. Bring quickly to the boiling point and skim. An ordinary shin of beef requires five quarts of water, while the leg, from the hindquarters being heavier, requires seven quarts. Bring to boiling point, skim; then push the kettle to the back of the stove where it will simmer at ISO degrees Fahrenheit for five hours. To save fuel, make the stock on ironing of baking days, or over the simmering burner of a gas stove. To have good,, clear soup the cooking must be evenly done from beginning to end. If it boils rapidly tor five minutes it is clouded; if it drops the simmering point, 180 de- AMUSING THE BOY.

"Theven thitbty-theven," he replied; and the woman and her young hopeful retreated to the waiting-room. She soon emerged again, however and approached the gateman. "Excuse me," she said, "but what time did you say the next train left for B ?" The gateman breathed a deep sigh and answered laboriously: "At theven tbithty-theven." Once more the child and his ma withdrew and left the poor man in peace. But he was not long to enjoy this state of quiet felicity, for In a few moments out she came again and put tbe very same question. > A look of exasperation/ came over the man's face as he said: "You hath lotht that train now, madam. I am tho thorry. It letht at theven thitbty- theven, and it ith the . latht that thopth at B: :."

Boundary road, the main artery from the Fraser to Hastings townsite, is fast being covered with houses. Mr. David Coulter has put up a fine new house, and another large house has been built on the ground of the Surprise poultry farm. According to a letter addressed to the News-Advertiser, citizens have been shocked by the language heard in some of the city streets and more particularly in close proximity to the depot of the British Columbia Electric railway on Hastings street. One writer states that newsboys who sell papers in that vicinity often use the vilest language and he considers it a disgrace that such conditions should be allowed to exist. The Laymen's Missionary Movement will hold their annual rally in Wesley Church, and in Mt. Pleasant Presbyterian Church, on Dec. 1st. Prominent speakers from a distance will be "present;"^ ��������� ~ - Mr. and Mrs. Boutall and family are leaving on Saturday for England and European points. A new organ was installed in Cedar Cottage Presbyterian Church last week, and with its aid special music was rendered at the services on Sunday last, which both surprised and delighted those present. Under the able leadrship of Mr. K. H. Schuck, the choir gave an excellent rendering of the anthem, "Come Unto Me," and "Nearer My God to Thee." The solo "Heaven Is My Home," given by Mr. Schuck, showed that gentleman to be possessed of a voice of considerable range and timbre. Miss Brown presided at the organ with her usual ability. Notwithstanding the very unfavor? able weather on Tuesday afternon, Nov. 22nd, quite a god number of the W. C. T. U. ladies convened in the Sunday School room of the Mt. Pleasant Churcyh and held a very interesting symposium on political equality. It was suggestive, practical, quiet, orderly and extremely sensible in its views and aims. Any critic might have gone in and out in perfect safety. Classes were not held Monday in the Fairview High school on account of a fire which broke out at 8:30 o'clock in the morning. Owing to the fact that it was thirty minutes before the opening hour of the school, none of the pupils had arrived. The Are was discovered by Mr. Woods, instructor in English, who turned in tbe alarm. The cause is supposed to have been an overheated stove. Very little damage was done. .���������--- . _- ^ _ ��������� PICTURE TALK by MR. R. SPARLING 150 BEAUTIFUL VIEWS. Entertaining Descriptions���������Interesting Stories.

A meeting of the South Vancouver school trustees was held Monday night at. Cedar Cottage school. There was considerable discussion over the want of accommodation. All agreed that more room was wanted and to Messrs. Cocroft and Draper was given the contract for a two-room school at Cedar Cottage. This is badly needed, for at present overflow classes are housed in two stores. A report was received of the evening schools' work. Some of the classes are splendidly successful. At Cedar Cottage, for instance, the dressmaking class now numbers over forty pupils. The classes for arithmetic, shorthand and bookkeeping have also filled up well. The classes for English are not so well attended and the trustees desire to make it known that English includes composition, correspondence and commercial work. They feel sure that when the usefulness of this class is made known it will be well attended. Many details ln connection with the schools and the grants for evening classes have to be carefully gone into with the department of education and to facilitate matters Trustees Greenslade and Stevens went to Victoria, Monday. They will be able to report a great increase in the number of scholars and yery excellent results from school work.
