D. MacLean, minister of education, in the legislature on Monday,\nIn reply to complaints from members\nabout books of American origin and\nAmerican reference, such as \"General Science,\" which they said made no\n'reference to Canada or Canadian con-\ntlons.\nThe   only   readers prescribed   for i\nuse tn the schools were Canadian, de- j\nclared   the   minister.   He said they j\nwere the work of Canadian authors. j\nOf   the   supplementary reading ma-!\nterlal used in the school libraries, the j\nminister added, American books were\nnot chosen unless a British or Canadian    book    of approximately equal\nmerit could not be obtained .\nPoorer for It\n\"It would be an easy matter,\" said\nDr. MacLean, \"for the department lo\ndrop every library book of American\nauthorship, but the schools would be\npoorer for it, and the teachers would\nbe unnecessarily handicapped. As the\nchildren, by .means of regular readers\nre so well and so thoroughly imbued\nwith British and Canadian sentiment,\nan occasional glance at a book of foreign authorship could hardly do any\nharm.\"\nHow the pro-British and pro-Canadian nature of the books in the\nschools has been increased was explained by the minister, who said that\nas late as 1920 the American arithmetic had been changed to a Canadian\nproduction. American music text\nbooks were changed seven years ago\nto books of British Columbia authorship printed in Canada. The same\nwas the case with penmanship, with\nthe exception that the coypbooks\nwere not only of British Columbia\nauthorship but were manufactured in\nBritish Columbia as well.. History\nand literature were taught exclusively from text books published in Canada and Great Britain. In this connection, \"The Voice of Canada,\" compiled by \u00ab British Columbia author,\nA. M. Stephen whtcjh comprised some\nof the best-of the writings of Canadian authow, prose and poetry, was\nobligatory for all students.\nHigh School Books\nThe same procedure applied to the\nhigh school, continued the minister,\nthe ' only two book's of any Importance of American authorship used\nwere \"General Science\" and West's\n\"Worid1 ; Progress.\" The latter, he\nsaid, was a general history and was\nin use also In Alberta and Nova Scotia. The government was looking\nfor a suitable book by a British or\nCanadian author to replace it. Here,\nas in the elementary grade, no book\nwas accepted If a suitable Canadian\ntext could be found. He added that\n\"The Makers of Canada,\" ot twelve\nvolumes, recently published, will be\nmade available to high school teachers and their students.\nDr. MacLean explained that before\na book went into use in the schools,\nit had to be passed by himself, the\nsuperintendent of education and a\nspecial committee of teachers for\n..each text.\nCanadian or British\n\"We desire, for two reasons, that\n\u2022very text book shall be Canadian or\nBritish,\" said the minister. \"First,\nfrom the economic point of view, to\nkeep the money they cost In British\nColumbia, Canada or Britain; second,\nbecause we are anxious that our own\nIdeals should be Inculcated in' the\nminds of children.\"\nHon.

Their chief essentials of life\u2014food, fuel and clothing\n\u2014are mostly of home production.\nEven in North China, where the win\nters are cold, clothing comes principally from cotton raised by the north\nern farmers, and fuel still consists\nlargely of the grain stalks from the\nfields that provide the food. The people require but little from tho outside\nworld and produce little that they do\nnot consume themselves.\nBut the old order has been changing. Although the northern people\nare less progressive than their southern brothers, even among them modern industries have been springing\nup despite civil strife of recent years.\nPerhaps none of these infant industries has had a more phenomenal\ngrowth than that of making hairnets,\nWhich now gives employment to thou\nsands who arre providing these articles for millions of women in America and Europe.\nAlthough the Industry was Introduced in China by the Germans only\ntwenty years ago, more than 140,000,-\n000 hairnets were shipped td America from a single Chinese city before\nbandits at home and bobbed hair in\nAmerica curtailed the output.. Even\nnow the total annual exports of this\nproduct are valued at more than $10,-\n000,000. With the wholesale bobbing\nof American locks in recent yeirs,\ntho demand for hairnets at first fell\noff; but more recently the use of nets\nhas again increased.\nThe nets are made by hand and the\nworkers receive about one cent each\nfor making them.. The average person caan hardly make ten a day.\nWhy It Belongs to China\nThere are three important factors,\nthat have made the hairnet industry\nalmost exclusive to North China;\nfirst, a large supply of hair Is found\nthere; second, cheap labor Is plentiful, and third, the industry requires\nno machinery and can be carried on\nin the home.\n\"Where will you find more human\nhair than in North China? Before\nthe rule of the Manchus, the Chinese\nmen let their hair grow rather long\nand tied it in a knot on top of the\nhead._ When the Manchus came, In\nthe seventeenth century, they wore\ntheir hair in long braids down their\nbacks, and as an ind cation of subjection forced the Chinese to adopt\nthe same custom.\n\u2022Probably no other land has a more\ndistinctive national pecul artty than\nthe Chinese pigtail, and like so many\nother social customs, It persists long\nafter the cause for wh ch it stood.\nThe revolutionists of 1911 tried to\ndo away with it and ordered that all\nqueues be cut off- Those who objected were in danger of losing head\nas well as pigtail, and the queues\nprovided a handy means of suspending the heads along the c ty streets\nas an effective suggestion that the\nrevolutionists meant business in\ntheir attempt to do away with the\nbadge of the victorious Manchus.\nIn the south, n large cities in\ngeneral, the queues did disappear to\na great extent, and for a time there\nwas a flood In the humaa'n hair market. But in North China the law forbidding the wearing of queues was\nnot enforced, and they are still plen-\nt ful in Peking and Tientsin, while in\nsome country villages away from the\ncoast therre are nearly as many boys\nand men with queues as without.\nPerhaps one reason why queues\nhave not disappeared more rapidly\nIs because of the many barbers, who\ndepend on combing queues and shaving heads for a living. Whatever ha r\nthey can comb out belongs to them\nand becomes a source of income; so,\nnaturally, they are not tn favor of a\nqueuelesB country.\nWomen Save All Combings\nChinese women do not patronize\nbarbers, but comb their own hair at\nhome. Nothing s wasted, however\nthe combings are saved from day to\nday and, when a sufficient quantity\nIs collected, It is sold or exchanged\nfor small household articles. In some\nplaces venders travel from house to\nhouse, calling out, \"Needles, thread,\nand matches exchanged for hair\ncomb ngs.\"\nthe raw stir la sold very cheaply,\nand, when girls are learning to make\nnets, la used for practice purposes.\nEnough hair can be purchased for\nfifty centB to last a class of sixty or\nseventy-five girls a month, while they\nare learn ng to make nets. As soon\nas they are able to make salable nets\nthey use prepared hair, which costs\nas much aas several dollars a pound,\nI trlcts are estimated as follows: Nova\n| Scotia,    $104    ($129);   Ontario, $143\n' ($124);  British Columbia, $321  ($320)\nFor the whole of Canada the average wnges per month of farm helpers\nduring the  summer season for 1927\nwere: $41 for men and $23 for women.   The average value    for    horse:;\nunder one year old fh 1927 was $34,\nas   compared    with $30 In 1926, and\n$29 in  ;1925.\nCattle    under    one year averaged\n$17, as against $14 In 1926, and $12\nB.C.

In fact, there is\nvery little in North China that a g rl\ncan do to earn money. Few have a\nchance to go to school, and except\nduring harvest season, when they\nhelp to bring the grain on to the\nthreshing floors and thresh It, they\nfind 'it hard to obtain work.

He said his record was\nIndelibly written in the statute books of British Columbia,\nwhere all may read. 'J lie Bancouver member suld he\nbut voiced the senliiiienis of his fellow members in assuring I'reiiiier MacLounii that no ii.fi'i In Hie Liberal\nparty stood higher In the affections and confidence of the\nelected members than he does. To those Who have followed the activities of the British Columbia legislature\nfor.many years, Premier (MacLean has established himself as one of the outstanding leaders of Canada. He\nnever allows himself to be stampeded and, consequently,\nthe oppositon's uttacks are but feeble. Knrthermsrc, the\npremier has presided for years over so many departments\nof government that he bus a ready grasp of the details\nof every branch of administration. When criticism is\nhurled across the floor of the house he meets it with a\nready, quiet answer. 'He cannot be \"baited\" and refuses\nto be drawn into lengthy arguments which would be used\nby his political opponents to lead him up a blind alley.\nIn other words, regardless of political opinions and affiliations, the rank and file of businessmen are swinging\nto the support of a government leader who ostensibly\nplaces the welfare of the province first and whose business like administration has stabilized finances, encouraged capital and provided the maximum protection and\naid for the great majority of the population.\nPRELIMINARY steps towards the writing of another\nchapter in the Liberal Government's record of social\nlegislation are being taken. The issue is health insurance, sponsored chiefly by Dr. II. (J. Wrlnch, Liberal member for Skeena, and generally approved by the MacLean\nadministration. Dr. Wrinch has introduced a resolution\nasking for the appointment of a special committee to\nconsider health insurance, and it is expected before the\nend of the present session a report will have been submitted. British Columbia is now far in advance of other\nprovinces of Canada in social legislation in force. The\npassing of health insurance legislation would place the\nprovince In a remarkably advanced position.\nTHE healthy condition of British Columbia finances\nwas fairly pointed out in the legislature recently by\nAttorney-General A. M. Mansou, who closed the budget\ndebate for the government. As finance minister, Premier MacLean had delivered the budget speech and could\nnot take the floor again, in his stead, Hon, Mr. Manson\npointed out that the total debt of British Columbia is\ncarried at an Interest rate of 4.76 per cent, the lowest of\nany province in Canada.

Such a host\nof things did their good friend tell\nthem of, and how Interestingly he\ntold them!\nCame the time when the friend\nmoved away to another. Brother and\nsister were saddened by his going,\nfor they knew they would miss his\ncheery smile, and the wonderful\nb lories and amusing anecdotes he\nwas so fond of telling them. Then\none day the postman brought them a\nloiter rom their friend, in which he\ntold them he was sending them The\nYouth's Companion so t hat they\nwould not forget him, and that in it\nthey would find just thei sort of\nstories they had so much enjoyed\nhearing him tell.\nAnd sure enough, a day or two\nlater the magazine arrived, and brother and sister found that It truly\ndid have just such wonderful stories\nof adventure and sport andmystery,\nand just such jokes as they loved so\nwell.

'%\nWHERE   BEE8  MAY   BE   KEPT\nBees may 'be kept in any locality\nwhere there is sufficient nectar to\nmaintain them. Some localities are\nbetter than others in that there is a\ngreater variety of flowers or a greater profusion of them; therefore, a\nlarger number of colonies of bees\nmay be kept in one place than In another which is but a few miles away.\nAs good localities are often right at\nour doors, the smaller beekeeper\nwith but few colonies has not to\nbother about seeking for new ones as\ndoes the larger beekeeper when his\nlocality becomes fully stocked.\nIn both country and city throughout the land, beekeeping is practiced with much pleasure and profit\nto maauy. In the fruit-growing districts where insect pollination is of\nso much importance, the fruit-growers have learned that the honey bee,\ntbe only insect that can be relied on\nfor cross-pollination, 'benefit them as\nmuch as they do the beekeepers\nOn the farm Also, especially where\nthere is an abundance of alsike.sweet\nclover or alfalfa, bees return substantial profits when well handled;\notherwise, however, they may become a menace to others keeping\nbees. In combination with some\nbranches of poultry-keeping, beekeeping fits iu admirably.\nTurning to the city, one finds there,\ntoo, that bees are kept, though In\nmany cases more for recreation than\nfor profit, by professional men, tired\nbusiness men, and even women and\nchildren. Gardening and beekeeping\nor poultry-keeping and 'beekeeping\nmake a good combination for city\ndwellers or suburbanites. In more\ncongested centers where gardens are\nscarce, apiaries are sometimes to be\nfound located on the roofs of large\noffice buildings.\nWherever bees may be kept, the\ngolden rule applies. One should not\nIntrude on the territory of another\nwhose rights by reason of his being\nfirst in the locality should be respected.\nCOIN  OF  FULL VALUE\nWhen It leaves the mint a $5 gold\npiece contains exactly $6 worth of\ngold.
