No. 42 THE WEEK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1907 Two weeks ago some criti- Military cism was offered in this Music. column of the doings of the Eifth Regiment Band and a lope was expressed that the formation of a City Band, then under way, might help ;o solve some of the problems which had irisen in connection with band music in Victoria during the last twelve months. Since these remarks appeared, several ;hings have happened. The Week has been nterviewed by Captain Ridgeway Wilson nd Bandmaster Rumsby on behalf of the Tifth Regiment Band, and by Mr. Green- vood and Mr. Bantly representing the Musicians' Union. Each party offered ;heir own explanation of what had taken jlace, and desired The Week to set the acts before the public. The situation has »en simplified or complicated, just as one egards it, by the subsequent conviction of Secretary Greenwood for fining Band- naster Rumsby because he allowed two nen to play when they were in arrear ith their contributions to the Union. he contention of Captain Wilson is that .he movements of the Eifth Regiment and have been considerably hampered >y the arbitrary action of the Union, and hat the minority of the Band have occas- oned trouble on several occasions by ref us- ng to fall in line with certain proposals of jhe Bandmaster which they considered etrimental to their interests. The trouble eems to be that Bandmaster Rumsby has een willing to make certain concessions lo the public authorities affecting the rate if pay which had not been sanctioned by e Union. A failure to agree upon this atter delayed the public concerts which ad been arranged for by the Mayor dur- g last season, and in this connection it only fair to the Bandmaster to say that is proposed rate of pay—$1 per hour— as subsequently endorsed by the Union, he hold-up during the Fair, to which ference was made, was certainly a very bjectionable matter, because it took place it a time which affected the public con- lenience and which left the officials of e Fair powerless to act, and placed them [t the mercy of the Band. The defence the Union is that there is a separate ale of pay for sitting down concerts and arade concerts, the latter being higher be- use presumably harder work, and that e contract with the Fair Committee did ot provide for any parade work, and .eluded only the lower rate of pay. This liay be perfectly true, in which case the pair Committee is to blame, and should ave taken care beforehand that the con- act was more specific. But the over- tight of the Fair Committee in this matter nnot justify the Band or any of its .embers in adopting the course they did, hich, in spite of all explanations, can ly be regarded as a hold-up. The whole |uestion of the relation of the Union to ie Fifth Regiment Band has been ven- lated in the Courts, and it has been held tat whenever the Band is playing in Iniform, whether at a public or a private unction, it is to be regarded as subject to military direction and control, and this niform may consist of a cap. While one's [atriotic sentiment is appeased by the de- ,-<5ion, it must in fairness be admitted that shocks one's sense of justice. It is surely graining a point to contend that there is |o distinction between military and social uties, and that men who happen to be tembers of a Military Band who go to 'lay at a dance or any other social func- on purely for the sake of dollars are a military duty if they wear a military EDITORIAL cap, but would be strictly civilians without the cap. If any plea was set up that the Union claimed the right to do anything which would encroach even in the slightest degree upon the military obligations of the Band, then I imagine both public opinion and the voice of the law would be a unit in its condemnation, but in the present instance nothing of the kind occurred, and while the prosecution secured a snap verdict its value depends upon moral, rather than legal considerations. It may be of value as showing the general attitude in favour of the inviolability of military service, but that the decision could be maintained in the Higher Courts is extremely doubtful. The moral of the whole question seems to be that the Union has been too arbitrary, as is evinced by its yielding under pressure, and it is hard to resist the conviction that Unionism, which is perfectly legitimate in principle, and necessary, for the protection of labour, would be much more popular in Canada, and much more effective for the benefit of those whom it is intended to serve if it were not controlled from the American side of the line. Women's Council. The ladies who constitute the local branch of the Women's Council, together with a number of visitors, have just held their thirteenth annual convention in Victoria. It was appropriate that they should conclude their sittings with a vote of thanks to the Daily Press which has certainly placed its columns at their disposal in the most generous manner, giving up as much as four or five columns daily to the voluminous reports of the various departments. The publicity thus afforded to the work of the organization cannot but have a good effect on public opinion throughout the Province, However many mistakes the Women's Council may make in dealing with public questions, it is impossible to doubt their absolute sincerity and their desire to promote all things which are "lovely, true and of good report." The advent of women into the arena of public discussion has sensibly elevated the tone of all such discussions, and has contributed to the strengthening of that altruistic sentiment which is such a marked feature of the age. Every resolution passed by the recent convention aimed at the removal of some evil and the betterment of social conditions. On some points there may fairly be a difference of opinion, such for instance as the prohibition of cigarette smoking, the exclusion of alcoholic beverages from the Fair grounds, and certainly the question of purity lectures in the public schools; but whilst antagonizing the position taken by the Women's Council on these questions, it must be conceded that their aim is of the loftiest, while it may fairly be premised that the consummation of this policy would herald the dawn of the millennium. At the open session in the City Council Chamber, the women undertook to debate the burning question of domestic service and its intimate association with Oriental immigration. In this, as in all other public assemblies where the question is raised, a sharp cleavage was developed. The women are apparently as much divided on the question as the men. Mrs. Fitzgibbon, who introduced the discussion with a paper, was clearly in favour of employing Chinamen as domestic servants, and from the applause which greeted her remarks it was clear that her position was endorsed by a large majority of those present. She touched the crux of the question when she pointed out that the difficulty of obtaining domestic help was a serious bar to the immigration of people who would develop the country and who could afford to pay for such help. Nothing is truer than that women suffer in health, to the detriment of the state, when domestic help is as difficult to obtain as it is in British Columbia. There is not a family which would not prefer female servants of the right kind if they were procurable, but it would not only be unreasonable but cruel to deny mothers the necessary help because Chinamen furnish the only available supply. Of all the labour questions The Week regards this as the most serious. It strikes at the root of national health and prosperity. It strikes deeper, for it is rapidly becoming a pronounced factor in determining birth statistics. On the whole the Women's Council is to be congratulated on its industry, its thoroughness and its catholicity of spirit. Its mistakes can readily be forgiven in view of its valuable contributions to the uplifting influences which it so potently exercises. Current Rumour. The Week had under consideration the amusing diatribe of a Vancouver journal which has been so hard hit by the Province for its seditious articles on the subject of Asiatic exclusion, that in a recent issue it gave a picturesque specimen of Ontario Billingsgate. It is no longer necessary, for the Editor of the paper answered himself so completely in the Court over which Mr. Mackenzie King presides, that further comment would be superfluous. The following paragraph taken from the Daily Press of the 14th inst., should be carefully treasured in the archives of British Columbian journalism, even in the twentieth century it is a curiosity, in later ages it may attain to the dignity of a funniosity: "Editor J. P. McConnell of the Saturday Sunset said the articles in his newspaper were based ON CURRENT RUMOUR RATHER THAN DIRECT KNOWLEDGE." The press has widely com- A Lack mented upon the fact that Of Coal. there is a shortage of coal in Cape Breton, and that contracts had been placed in Philadelphia for 26,000 tons for the use of the Dominion Steel Co., Sydney. It should be pointed out that in this particular instance the difficulty arises from the neglect of the Dominion Coal Co. to supply fuel of the particular kind required, and the whole subject is still before the Courts. It is, however, a matter of note that throughout Canada there is a dearth of fuel. It is really one of the most remarkable features of the time that there has been no serious attempt to keep pace with the industrial expansion of the country. Ten years ago the total importation of bituminous coal was three million tons. In 1905 it was four and a half million, whilst in 1906 it jumped up to the remarkable figure of six million tons, and yet we have 2mnnnrjfsTnnnnnnnnrw __mt Stewart Williams R. C.

As an investment coal mining presents features which differentiate it from every other class of mining as a steady dividend earner. It is in constant demand; there is no substitute, and there is little possibility of the supply overtaking the demand, and so producing a glut in the market. There is no product for which the demand is so uniform, and no investment so certain, if judiciously handled, to produce profitable and permanent results; yet capitalists seem to fight shy of it, and although there has been greater activity of late, there is still a wide field ripe to the harvest. The increase of population and the expansion of industries has lead to a vastly increased demand, coal has advanced in price. Even in Canada there was a famine last winter, and in the States of Washington and Oregon the condition today is little better, with coal selling in Seattle at $8 a ton. If private enterprise does not make a more determined effort to supply this great public necessity, the Canadian Governments, Federal and Provincial, will have to devise some scheme for encouraging a production of coal more in accordance with the growing requirements of the country. At various times the Cana- Level dian press becomes alarmed Headed. lest England should be overwhelmed by one or other of the enemies within her fold. Within the last year it has been especially solicitious lest Socialism, which was never so rampant, should become triumphant, and constitutional Government be hurled from its throne. It is in vain that visitors from the Old Country, or dwellers in our midst who once lived there point out that the danger is exaggerated, and that such things as blatant Socialism have as little influence on the stolid common sense of the country as a fly on a wheel. People not born and reared there, altogether fail to understand or appreciate the air of amused tolerance with which John Bull regards all Social excrescences. He knows that safety lies in allowing agitators to blow off steam. He has learnt through a long period of constitutional development that steam loses its power when once it is allowed to escape, so instead of sitting on the safety valve and inviting an explosion, he opens it wide and lets the steam escape. Only a month ago Canadian and American journals were pointing out the growth of Socialism in England, incited thereto probably by the conspicuous demonstrations of the Countess of Warwick and lhe harmless lucubrations of Mr. Keir Hardie. On the first opportunity John Bull has shown his exact estimate of the cause espoused by these, doubtless well meaning, but deluded advocates. In the recent Municipal election the first draft shows that the Socialists succeeded in returning two per cent, of the whole, just sufficient to raise a discussion. Meanwhile Punch treats the oratorical heroics of Mr. Keir Hardie in India with a dose of that merciless ridicule which most effectively disarms fanatical Don Quixotes. In a clever cartoon it urges the Government to fetch him home "where he is so well known that he is not noticed." THE WKKK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1907. vOf i_v * A Lady's Letter * Y By BABETTE. W « -rft? Dear Madge: Fashions for the coming winter (according to a Paris correspondent) are to continue the eclectic character which was one of their marked features during the summer. Speakiny generally, dresses will he worn less large and more clinging to the figure than has been the case, showing thc outline of the body in a more defined degree. The Princesse form will be much in vogue, and the sleeves are to be prolonged to the wrist. All the best patterns seen up to the present time follow these indications. It would, however, be a mistake to suppose that only one style will prevail, for each dressmaker of note endeavours to produce something original in her creations. One dressmaker insists on the dresses being so tight- fitting that the wearers find themselves compelled to go without petticoats, the clients of this famous modiste being obliged to resign themselves to wearing silk combinations if they desire to show fully all the merits of their outer robe and permit it to disclose all the attractions of their figure. Another confines herself to the simple, harmonious lines of the Princesse, allowing only such variations as may be required to suit the outline of each fair client. This style is generally set off with very rich stoles, embroidered, and ending in beautifully-finished long fringes of silk or chenille. These stoles are fastened to the dress, or perhaps it might be better to say that they are encrusted on it, and arranged in such a way as either to form a sort of insertion above the bodice, or a large collar. One or two dressmakers still affect the half-long sleeve, but the prevailing forthcoming fashions will see the sleeve long. Bridge players, especially women, are notoriously superstitious. The most potent means of ensuring success is said to be that of playing the game with ringless lingers, even the plainest example of the jeweller's art —if worn on the right hand—being supposed to bring loss in its train, and it is no uncommon sight to see the feminine portion of a bridge party divest their fingers of diamonds or other gems, and secure them in a knot of their lace-trimmed "mouchoirs" to be laid aside and resumed again when the game is ended. To the inveterate bridge player, the choice of a gown has an important meaning far removed from a modistic point of view. Enthusiastic devotees are quite of opinion that dress plays a large part in wooing fortune, and a gown which is associated with a succession of had cards is never worn again when the programme of thc evening includes bridge. Green is looked upon as a particularly ominous colour, and few are so daring as to defy fate in a dress of this line, while all shades (if blue as well as white, are supposed to bring luck in their train, and black, in not actively favourable, is at least considered neutral. No fetish, however, is supposed to possess half thc virtue from the bridge player's point of view as is the month stone of the wearer. Whether it be a diamond or a sardonyx, thc gem is credited with a special power in influencing the issues of thc evening, the "sine qua non" being that it shall be given to thc wearer and not have been purchased with her own money. The supposedly logical masculine mind leaps from thc conclusion, "Many girls of the day do not marry" to the proposition "Girls of the day spurn marriage." Is not this an error? Do we say a person despises gems because unable to possess gen- The Merchants Bank Canada Established 1864. Capital, fully paid $6,000,000 Reserve Funds 4,000,000 Head Office: Montreal.

"Because of substitutes" is the warning of the age, and woman as a class is heeding this admonition If she cannot marry a man, a being whose life is and has been as pure and white as her own, one whom she can love and honour, she will not marry at all. This at least seems to be a tendency of the modern girl of the best type. And does not this apply even to the girl of the "higher education" who dreams of having a career in the world? She would marry if the right man came along. Why, the mere announcement of an engagement, a wedding, or a baby drives infinitesimal, calculus, psychology or Anglo-Saxon roots into darkest oblivion. It is not marriage that is out of date. It's the moping and langu:shing for a man that is old-fashioned. The modern girl, though unmarried, is as happy as a lark, but she dreams of the time when she'll be still happier. Now, of course, she doesn't confess the fact; don't expect it; it is not ladylike; it is not good policy. There is nothing to do but wait, "meekly wait, and murmur not." So, practical man, waste no more days in unprofitable discussion. Women make pets of all sorts of animals, but I have heard of only one who kept clucking hens in her drawing-room, and visitors have got into the way of standing until they are asked to accept the seat which she points out. It is common for her to cry hurriedly, "Oh, no, no, not there, my dear Maria Brahma or Cochin China is sitting there!" as the case may be. And, sure in a comfortable nest, seated on eggs, would be the hen, and-she would fly into a rage at the disturbance as if thc drawing-room was her own special property. No lack of human affection could account for this vagary, for this woman was possessed of an affectionate husband and son, both of whom merely smiled at her little ways, and avoided lounge chairs where hens were sitting on eggs. Large Finger Prints. A vicar had his ripe fruit stolen, the only clue to thc culprit being a finger-print left 011 an unripe peach. He had a photographic enlargement made. "Jake," said the reverend gentleman, on meeting an individual he suspected, "someone robbed my garden the other night." "Did 'em. sir?" replied Jake, innocently. "Yes," went on the vicar, sternly; "but the thief left his mark behind, and I can easily trace him." "You don't say so?" said Jake, somewhat nervously. "Yes; do you see this?" and the good man produced the enlarged reproduction. Jake paled visibly. "I see 'tain't no good denyin' it," said hc with a sigh of resignation: "I pinched yer fruit right enough, hut '6w you not that impression o' th' seat o' my corduroys I'm blessed if I know."

II, 1907. To the Editor of The Week: In reply to an article in last Saturday's Week as to why the marriage statistics in Victoria are low, I think it would only be fair to hear the girl's side of the case, as we have already heard the man's. To me, it is intensely interesting to scan the society columns of our local papers. True the society girls are pretty, at- '••active, accomplished and apparently i_ ..-nsible. Now, on thc other hand, size up the men, and the thought instantly presents itself: "Not an eligible one in the bunch!" Is this the girl's fault? The men in Victoria lack ambition and push; so long as they can see three square meals ahead of them, together with enough of the necessary to keep up an appearance, that is sufficient. Of course they would like to marry, "If only some one would put up the dough." Now for the Englishmen, whom the writer evidently blames for his wearing of the willow! Girls in Victoria nearly all have happy, comfortable homes. Now, why should they marry until Mr. Right appears? Then if it is an Englishman, all well and good, but I think I am pretty safe in saying no Victoria girl would marry an Englishman, just because he was an Englishman; a great deal more would be required of him than this. If the Victoria men are too slow, and possibly too selfish to give the girls a good time and the Englishman rises to the occasion, again I ask, why should the girls be blamed? I believe in giving credit where credit is due, not otherwise; and I think it is certainly up to the Victoria men (?) to buck up. A VICTORIA GIRL. Victoria, and cannot therefore understand how others have met with different treatment, unless perhaps they expect a little too much. Yours truly, NEW VICTORIAN. Editor The Week: Dear Sir,—Frequently I have seen complaints in the columns of Victoria newspapers, your own amongst them, about the inhospitable manner in which newcomers—after the most strenuous invitations to come and reside here, are received after they do arrive and settle amongst us. My own experience does not corroborate the complaints and I think in justice to the ladies of Victoria, I ought to state so publicly. Like the Paterfamiliar referred to in your last week's article by "Bohemian," I also arrived here a little over a year ago, the difference being that my family arc small children and that of the gentleman referred to consisted of grown-up daughters; other circumstances are similar. We knew no one on landing, and brought no letters of introduction, and were busy enough the first few weeks getting installed; but as soon as the blinds were up, callers began to arrive. We found our new acquaintances agreeable, refined and intelligent, and without any apparent effort either on our own part or that of our new-found friends we discovered that we had a "circle," and are perfectly happy and contented to be in it. Perhaps we are satisfied with a little; having insufficient time, and domestic help, to entertain in return we do not expect to be invited to elaborate social functions; but we have no lack of pleasant little parties and small affairs, and whether the people who wcre good enough to call an us are "in society" or not does not trouble us as long as they prove companionable. As for newcomers never being seeded to fill public positions, I fail o see how it could be otherwise; some local knowledge is necessary md this can only be acquired by inie; however capable a man may be ie cannot utilise his abilities to the iest advantage until his knowledge of nen and things around him is suffi- :ient to dispense with the necessity if doing things twice over, or of miking mistakes and constantly rcc- ifying them until he becomes an fait with his luties.

He says it is time enough for me to philosophise when I have exhausted the possibilities of lounging and correct narration of my experiences, especially am I expected to chronicle the complaints of my fellow citizens and to register their legitimate kicks. So this week I must carefully "toe the mark," and give my idyllist propensities a rest. On Tuesday afternoon I was invited to attend the open session of the Women's Convention in the City Hall, and in spite of the fact that I knew that I should be one of half a dozen men, among a hundred or more of the fair sex, I overcame my natural bashfulness in order to hear the speech which Canon Beanlands was prevented from delivering at the first meeting of the Asiatic Exclusion League, and which has been burning his pockets ever since. I heard it, and now my only regret is that my accomplished colleague, Bohemian, was not also present. He would have been amply avenged. It is not my province to canvass the address of the reverend gentleman; it began nowhere and ended at the same place. He enunciated an entirely new system of political econ omy when he declared that it did no harm for Chinamen to send their earnings out of the country "so long as they gave value." Shades of Adam Smith! Does Canon Beanlands know anything about currency? Does he know it is the life-blood of commerce? Does he know that the present money stringency with all its attendant evils, the checking of business, and the calling a halt of development is due to shortness of gold? Has he ever seen scores of Chinamen drawing $20 gold pieces from the local banks and taking them in their grips to China? Does he know that a Chinaman insists on having gold, and on shipping it out of the country? Yes, he must know because he said his own Chinaman had supported six persons in his native land with gold earned in Victoria! And yet the worthy Canon honestly believes that this does not injure Canada "so long as the money is earned." He made another amazing statement when he declared that the domestic servants who came from England to Canada did not belong to the industrial class, but were in effect broken down gentle folk "paying the penalty for the misdoings of some ancestor." I should like to hear what Commissioner Coombes has to say on this since the Salvation Army has brought out most of the female domestic servants. I cannot help thinking that this question of class looms altogether too big in Canon Beanlands' mind. It seems to obtrude itself on his sleeping and waking moments. I felt sorry that his long delayed address contributed so little to clear understanding of the domestic servant problem. I was also reminded of Hamilton Drummond's terse ob servation that "It is given to few men to combine the wit of this world with the grace of the next." This is kick Number one, and my own at that. A few nights ago I was returning from the James Bay district, over the Causeway, when I suddenly plunged into what I thought was a thick bank of fog; it obscured everything; I could not even see the new hotel, but very quickly there was abundant evidence that it was not the ordinary kind of fog; it produced a choking sensation and was loaded with a most repulsive odour; I ran, and as soon as I emerged from it, which was not until the Post Office was reached, I discovered that it was simply a cloud of smoke and effluvium from the garbage heaps on the mud flats. A few nights before I had called to see a friend who lives on Victoria Crescent and was astonished to find that his beautiful home was filled with the same disgusting odour. I wonder how people manage to live near such a horrid nuisance, and I wonder still more that the members of the City Council are not ashamed to meet their fellow citizens on the street, for they must be held responsible for its continuance I had almost said: I wonder at the Mayor, but that would not be the truth; I have ceased to wonder. Everyone is gratified at the activity of the Health Committee of the Council in getting rid of the unsanitary conditions which have so long abounded in the neighbourhood of Johnson, Cormorant and Douglas streets. I hope there will be no letup until the last vestige has been removed. I should, however, to like to emphasize the fact that the city authorities are to blame for this unsani- tariness as also for over-crowding in the Chinese quarters. The condition under which Chinatown is conducted constitutes a grave violation of the city laws. It is not easy to understand why this violation should be tolerated since it becomes a menace both to the health and the morals of the community. The complaint of Asiatic exclusionists that the unwelcome immigrants herd together and live under unsanitary conditions is a confession of negligence or impotency on the part of the civic authorities. If I were Mayor, I should simply enforce the law to the limit. I fail to understand why a Chinaman should be permitted to do with impunity what a white man would be fined or imprisoned for doing. Let the law be enforced; it is nothing but laxity which has developed the modern Chinatown. I am afraid we are apt to do things by fits and starts in Victoria, only that there are more fits than starts. The threatened bubonic plague and the activity of the sanitary authorities in Chinatown has diverted attention from the condemned shacks in other parts of the city. A good commencement was made, and a number of the worst were demolished, but the good work seems to have stopped, and there are still a number of dangerous buildings, even near the central district, which should have been removed long ago. The Bee Hive saloon with its dry moss-covered roof, still invites the destruction of the Driard Hotel and the Victoria Theatre. Several wretched tenements half way up Fort street are occupied as dwellings, and on Store street there are at least half a dozen buildings which are a standing menace. I hope that none of these will be for gotten. They seem to be as long- lived as the proverbial cat. I think I have now done my dutj in the matter of registering "kicks.' For two weeks I have been writing of epidemics. It affords me grea pleasure to announce that an epi demic of another kind has broken ou; in Victoria, a reference to the soda columns of The Week in this issui will show that every maiden in the city may now sport the time-honoure< motto, which for delicacy's sake j will quote in the original Latin "Dum spiro spero."

THE WEEK, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 16, 1907 Sporting Comment The Rugby football match which took place at Oak Bay .last Saturday between the Victoria and J. B. A. A. teams produced a much better brand of football than was witnessed at the first match between these teams. In all departments the players showed a better knowledge of the game, but there is still much to be learned. The host important improvement was the lack of that foul language which made the first game so objectionable. This was practically eliminated and it is hoped that thc next match will witness the same play as last Saturday. Both teams were keyed up to the limit when they went on the field, but the Victoria club displayed the better judgment and it was this alone which gave them the victory. The Bays had far the best of the play and for a time it looked as if they would win out, but with the opportunity waiting they failed to take advantage, which the Victorias were not slow to do and added points which gave them the victory. The Victoria club started the scoring and at half time they had six points to the good, the score standing 6—o. On changing ends, however, the Bays began to press and it was seldom that the ball was passed their centre mark. Their first tally came when Nason broke away and after eluding all his pursuers he planted the ball behind the posts. He took the kick himself and added the extra points, making the score 6—5. With one point to the bad the Bays continued to press and the forwards carried the ball to within a few yards of the line when instead of heeling out, they carried the ball over and Victoria was given a twenty-five yard kick. From this play the Victoria three-quarters broke away and Newcombe was sent over for another try. Blackbourne was selected to try what appeared to be a very difficult kick, but he placed the ball neatly between the posts and Victoria again had a good lead. The Bays were not distressed, however, and again carried the ball into Victoria territory and scored, the try at goal, however, proving a failure. No further score was made and the game ended in favour of the Victoria club by the score of 11—8. The changes in thc Victoria club in some instances made an improvement, but in others they were decided failures. Their forward line worked hard, but lacked the vim of their opponents. Their strongest division was the halves. Newcombe towers head and shoulders over any other half in the city and always docs good work. In the three-quarter line, there are a couple of good ones, while the others are far from being first class, while the full back was lamentably weak. The Bays were much faster on thc ball, but lacked thc knowledge of the game and lost many chances. The forwards are a young lot of husky players who take a lot of holding, but they must learn thc first rudiments of the game, otherwise there will bc very few victories fall to their club. The halves were fairly good, while lhe three-quarters while very speedy (hi not take advantage of their gifts ami are rather inclined to pass the hall too far which can be easily intercepted. If the players of both teams would get together and discuss the methods whereby they can improve their play, it will not be long until there arc two teams in this city capable of holding their own with anything in the Province. The J.B.A.A. Soccer team still continues its victorious march towards the championship and unless they happen to lose within thc next couple of weeks it will he almost impossible to prevent them from securing thc trophy. The results of the gates on Saturday, were victories for Esquimalt 1 over Fifth Regiment, Shearwater over Y.M.C.A. and Bays over Garrison. In all three contests the playing was very spirited and some good football was witnessed in every event. Thc greatest interest was centred in the Y.M.C.A, vs. Shearwater match, as it ■was thought that the former might give the sailors a surprise, but, like all other occasions, the forwards of the local teams were unable to penetrate the goal. The failure of the forward line of this team has been very noticeable, and if it could in any manner be strengthened the strength of the team would be increased wonderfully. In every match this team has taken part in, several fine opportunities to score have been lost. The Shearwater team did not play as well as they did against the Bays, and they will have to do better this afternoon if they expect to win. At Work Point the Garrison went down before the Bays by the score of 2—o. To hold the leaders in the championship race down to this score is highly creditable and it will be seen that it was no fluke which gave them the victory over Esquimalt a couple of weeks ago. The Esquimalt team had an easy time with the Fifth Regiment, although to the credit of the latter eleven it can be said that they played a much better game than the score indicates. The Regimental team is certainly up against a hard proposition, when every Saturday sees them with a new line-up. If it could be so arranged that the same team would play two weeks in succession there would be some hope of making a win, but it is almost impossible if the personnel of the team is to be changed continually. The style of play is certainly improving and it can be easily seen that before the close of the season there will be no difficulty in selecting a team to represent this city in the Island League. The first protest of the season has been lodged and will be considered this evening. The protest has been made by the Shearwater against the Bays, charging that the referee had no right rule two players off the field for rough play; 2nd, that the referee should have given a penalty kick instead of a free kick, claiming that the full back fisted the ball out of the goal; 3rd, that the referee should have ruled the Bays' full back off the field for leaving the ground. It is with regret that we learn of this protest and we are fain to believe that there is a "nigger in the wood pile," for we do not think the Navy would enter a protest on such frivolous grounds. It is well known to every player, or at least it should be known, that it is impossible to dispute a referee's decision on a point of fact regarding the game, and without doubt of all the players in the league, the Navy players should be better aware than any. In the majority of cases they have all played in the Old Country before entering the Navy and know full well what protection and privileges are given the referee. In this regard it must not be taken that we arc supporting the Bays. The Bays are no more to us than any other team in the league, but we do maintain that the referee should be upheld. Regarding the legality of the protest wc have nothing to say, but before deciding the committee should consider the rules very fully and then give an unbiased decision. The slip shod maimer in jvliich the league is conducted is evidenced by the fact that no meeting was called to consider the referee's report for more than ten days and in the meantime the players reported had both played a game. At present it is very hard to get referees, but it will be much harder if the league intends to ignore the reports of the officials. The attractions for this afternoon will be three football matches and a general practice of the hockey players. The football matches will be James Bay vs. Shearwater at Oak Bay; Esquimalt vs. Garrison at Work Point, and Y.M.C.A. vs. Fifth Regiment at Beacon Mill. The wisemen on the aldermanic board havc in their wisdom passed a measure which will undoubtedly havc the effect of making the Provincial Exhibition prove a financial failure, it is all very well for the aldermen to say that all forms of chrince games will bc prohibited, btit it is another thing to provide attractions which will guarantee a successful fair.

If after the manner of men, and some editors, I have achieved success, what advantageth it me if I hide my light under a bushel? This paraphrase of a classical utterance, for the adaptation of which may I be forgiven by "whatever powers there be," is suggested by the response which has been made to my little dissertation on "A bit of England on the Pacific." A reference to the Correspondence column of this issue will show that I touched upon a subject of interest, which like most other subjects, can be approached from two sides. Let me first answer the letter of "New Victorian." It is gratifying to learn that all comers to this beautiful city are not treated as interlopers, and the picture which this correspondent paints of a family comfortably settled and gathering around them in thc short space of one year a circle of friends with whose companionship they are satisfied, is as creditable to the newcomer as to those who have welcomed him. I have not the least doubt from my own observation that his account is perfectly correct. Without knowing him, I imagine, in fact his letter practically admits, that he is not a society man, and that like myself he is quite content to seek his friends among those who have no ambition to be classed with the Four Hundred. It is not such people as "New Victorian" who experience a difficulty in forming new acquaintances, and in obtaining recognition in their own set. But my correspondent who is clearly a reasonable man would be the lirst to admit that all people do not move in one social circle, and that there is a set, having just as much right to its position in the community as his own or any other, which is governed by different rules and which observes different conventionalities; and people who have been accustomed to move in this class of society elsewhere, naturally expect to fit into the same groove when they come to Victoria, but as I pointed out, they experience a difficulty which does not exist elsewhere. I have lived in Halifax, which is supposed to be ultra English by reason of its Military and Naval element, and in Montreal, the Commer cial Capital of Canada, where the oldest and best families in the Dominion are to be found, but neither of these cities is as exclusive as Victoria. It is not easy to define just what constitutes the cachet of social status, but every one in society knows it instinctively, and it is often a puzzle to me why the leaders of society in Victoria should have departed so far from the standards of true gentility as to forget the courtesy which is due to members of their own circle who are too often treated as "strangers within the gate." It is all the more difficult to understand this when one regards some of the people who are received with open arms. An explanation of this chronic attitude of Victoria society was given to me this week by one who has resided in the city for nearly twenty years, and who both by birth and position belongs to the best social set. He declared that close observation over this peiiod convinced him that, in Victoria, society appraises a newcomer mainly on his ability and incl'nation to entertain on a large scale, and cultivate his acquaintance accordingly. People who evince a preference for quieter and simpler forms of social intercourse are either not taken up at ali or are quietly dropped as soon as it is realized that they do not intend to compete in large society functions. I am not prepared to say whether this is a sufficient explanation or just how much truth there may be in it, but no man in Victoria is in a better position to give a correct explanation. I must say a word in reply to "New Victorian's" argument, that newcomers should not be selected to fill public positions. I quite agree that his argument is correct as applied to service, say, on the City Council or the Board of Trade. Some considerable term of residence and an acquaintance with local conditions is necessary to enable a man to do justice to local conditions, but there are other posi- t'ons into which a man of experience elsewhere may step at once with advantage to the community. I cited the instance of the President of the Canadian Club who has made a conspicuous success. I think that, a man who has been a useful school trustee, Library commissioner or an active member of a Tourist Association elsewhere requires no local training to render him just as efficient in Victoria. In any event whatever force my remarks may have is derived from the fact that in no other city of Canada have I found this spirit of conservatism and exclusiveness carried so far, which explains why with all its natural advantages, Victoria lags behind in the march of progress and pays the penalty of its lack of enterprise in seeing itself outstripped by other competitors with far fewer advantages. The letter of a "Victoria Girl" is of a different class. She takes up the cudgels with a vengeance in defence of her sex, and her indictment against the young men of Victoria is one which I would not have dared to make. Just fancy this characterization:—"The men in Victoria lack ambition and push; so long as they can sec three square meals ahead of them, together with enough of the necessary to keep up an appearance, that is sufficient. Of course they would like to marry, if only some one would put up the dough." My correspondent is a leader of society, and therefore ought to know what she is talking about, but when she declares that "among the young men of Victoria there is not an eligible one in thc bunch," I think most of my readers will agree that she discovers "a rift within the lute" which it would be ungallant to submit to too minute an inspection. At the risk of forfeiting the good opinion of my fair correspondent, I am afraid that justice compels me to point out that in the last paragraph of her letter she unconsciously answers her own argument. She asks "if the Victoria men are too slow, and possibly too selfish i«- give the girls a good time, and the Englishman rises to the occasion, why should the girls bc blamed?" If I were in the habit of using slang, such for instance as a "Victoria Girl" resorts to when she says, "It is up to the Victoria men to 'buck-up'," I should say that in the above paragraph she "gives thc show away." Is it true then that Victoria girls are simply looking for "a good time," and that they are willing to devote their time and literally throw themselves at the man who is prepared to give them one? I can hardly believe it; surely this is a case which justifies the conclusion that women are their own severest critics. If, however, it is true, and "Victoria Girl" knows what she is talking about, and is in a position to speak for her class, then I can quite understand why there are so many candidates for perpetual spinsterhood in the Capital city, for men never marry thc girl who cultivates their acquaintance in order to have "a good time"; neither do men marry girls who have had "a good time" with other fellows if they know it, at least that is the experience of ^lH^?ryi^^_ <r- Literary Notes. A new novel by the author of "The Magnetic North" and "A Dark Lantern" will be an event to a great many readers. The title of the new book by Miss Elizabeth Robins, which is to be published this month, is,"The Convert," and it is said to be a story of the woman-suffrage movement in London—a theme offering plenty of opportunity for the display of Miss Robins's undoubted gift for the dramatic and picturesque.

Mad or not, Nietzsche has undoubtedly ben read more in Europe in the last ten years than any other philosopher. In England and America, although he has been much discussed, his actual work is less known, for the very good reason that only a portion of it has been translated. It is good news, therefore, that the complete translation, of which The Macmillan Company published the first volumes, is progressing, and that a new volume, "Beyond Good and Evil," has just been added. The translator is Miss Helen Zimmern. The volumes already published are "Thus Spake Zar- athustra," "A Genealogy of Morals," "The Dawn of Day," and "The Case of Wagner." The second of the volumes in which Mr. Frederic Harrison is collecting his most significant miscellaneous writings, has just appeared with the title "The Philosophy of Common Sense." Its connection with the first volume in the series is close, for as Mr. Harrison points out, "The Creed of a Layman" dealt with what the author calls, "The Religion of Common Sense," and the new volume is designed to throw light on the philosophical basis of that religion. The book consists largely of critical essays dealing with the work of Spencer, Lewes, Huxley, Balfour, and other English contemporaries of Mr. Harrison's. Mark Lee Luther's novel, "The Crucible," which has been appearing serially in The Cosmopolitan, is published this week in book form, The editors of The Cosmopolitan have stated that this story has attracted more attention and elicited more comment than any other serial that has ever appeared in the magazine. Mr. Luther, who has hitherto been best known as the author of a capital political novel, "The Henchman," has certainly been successful in evolving an unusual situation. "The Crucible" is the story of Jean Fanshawe, a tomboy of immature ideas, but fine instincts, who through a perversion of justice, is committed to a state house _v Think of the number of typewriters that seemed popular a few years ago.

(Continued from Page Five) well known fact that it was the horse races alone which made the exhibition of this year a financial success and if pool selling is to be prohibited it certainly means the death of horse racing. The races which were run in connection with the recent fair were highly successful and the book-makers lost money, but still the aldermen desire to protect the unsuspecting public. At all fairs it is customary to have some attraction, in this city horse races have predominated. This form of attraction has proved a grand success in Victoria and no other attraction of such drawing power could be secured for the same amount of money. The prohibition of horse racing is a direct blow at the management of the Agricultural Association, who have in the past exerted every effort to make the exhibition a success and now their efforts are to be tampered by a party which has abso- utely no knowledge of running a fair, [f horse racing is prohibited, what ittractions can be secured, which will iraw such crowds. In New Westminster lacrosse is made a feature, but rrom the experience of the last exhi- jition it is safe to say that there is nore betting done on this attraction ;han on the horse races which take .lace in Victoria. Regarding the ex- libitions of the National game which ..re given in New Westminster, it is :ommon talk that the members of the Toronto lacrosse team were warned lot to bet on their own team. This s a form of betting that is entirely inknown in this city, but still the *oyal City stands for it. If the de- :ision of the city aldermen is enforced it will not only mean the failure of the exhibition for one year, but for several years to come and in the end will mean the loss of the beautiful park, as it is almost a certainty that the citizens will not be content to maintain a losing proposition and the grounds will be sold at a decided loss to the city. We hope that the better spirit of the aldermanic board will prevail and arrangements made so that Victorians may still enjoy their horse races. Obtained Certificates. The pupils of Miss S. F. Smith, A. T. C. M., were presented with certificates of proficiency in their various musical studies at "Sea View," Dallas Road. Rev. Canon Beanlands commended each recipient for their good- work under Miss Smith, The examiner, Mr. Fairclough, F.R.C.O., came specially from Toronto for the purpose, and the pupils and teacher were highly elated at their success. The following are the names of the successful candidates: Primary course—Ivan Hawksley, Florence Miles, Ilace Terry and Ethel Waxstock. First year course—Alice Muriset, Mabel Irvine, Mabel Booz and Alice Robelee, Second year course—Lillian Hag- gerty. Second year rudiments — Marie George. This makes sixteen pupils of Miss S. F. Smith who have passed examinations of the Toronto College of Music. How Can the Librarian Aid the Teacher? By Walter A. Edwards, Pasadena, Cal. A library possesses immense edu cational possibilities. It is a mighty educational engine, ranking in power not far behind the school, the Church, and the daily press. And its great power ought to be directed so that those who comes under its influence may get the most good possible from it. To be sure, the adult patrons of the library would probably resent as an impertinence any suggestion from the librarian that they were not getting the educational value from the books that they should, and any attempt on his part to supervise their choice of books. A certain library in the central West boasts of having reduced novel-reading from eighty per cent, of the total to fifty-nine per cent., as a result of a well-defined and consistently pursued policy. This librarian, thinks he has a responsibility for his patrons' reading, and he has actually exercised some decisive influence over it. But whatever one may think of the men and women, is there any doubt as to the librarian's duty toward the children? They certainly form a very large fraction of the total patronage of the public library. In some cases the ratio of children using the library to the total number of users, is as high as thirty-seven per cent. Merely on account of their number, then, the children are entitled to every consideration and to every provision that can fairly be made for their convenience. But tliere is another and better ground for their claim on the good offices of thc librarian. In this great army of children the librarian may, if he will, train up more intelligent users of books than his present adult patrons. They come to thc library with tastes unformed, and with no reading habits. They arc not only open to suggestion, they desire it and ask for it. As Emerson says, "Here are friends waiting to bless the child, anxious to unfold to him their treasures of wisdom and entertainment." But they are under a spell, and cannot speak until spoken to. And as the enchanter has dressed them like battalions of infantry, in coat and jacket of one cut, by the thousand and ten thousand, the boy's chances of hitting uu the right one is to be computed by the arithmetical rule of permutation and combination—not a choice out of three caskets, but out of half a million all alike. Thc chances are tremendously against him—unless some one will help him. And here is the librarian's opportunity and duty. And here, furthermore, is one of the most important ways in which the librarian can serve the school. Teachers are realizing thc immense power for good or evil which books exercise in thc lives of their pupils and the need for the wisest counsel in their use; and they should gladly welcome the expert assistance the librarian can give in planning the collateral and the miscellaneous reading of their pupils. But not only in directing the reading of the pupils may the librarian assist the teacher. In the course of frequent conferences between them, abundant opportunities for co-opera- ti' mi will suggest themselves, to thc lasting benefit of thc children. The librarian will keep informed as to the work the pupils arc about to have in school, and he will be able to prepare lists of references and parallel readings on the various topics, perhaps in the form of printed slips, for distribution tn the children. Hc will anticipate Arbor Day, the various poets' birthdays, and other special occasions, and will have ready against the need lists of books helpful for special programmes and for further reading. He will recommend books for general reading, classified to suit the age and advancement of pupils in the different grades. He will be able to suggest special books to meet the needs of peculiar cases. He will keep his eye on the magazines and promptly list any article which may prove helpful to pupil or teacher. Hc will provide a separate room for the use of the children, well supplied with the right books, and made attractive with the pictures in which children delight—and properly supervised. He will perhaps arrange for special school and class-room libraries, loaning such books as a given class will need, these to be given out to individual pupils by the teacher. Or he will, from time to time, group such books 011 certain shelves in the children's room, constituting a sort of temporary reference library for certain lines of study. Hc will, on the invitation of the teacher, meet thc pupils at intervals and talk to them about the proper care of books, thc use of the library for study and research, the use of dictionaries, cyclopedias, Poole's Index, etc. These talks, by the way, arc better given in the library; take the children to the library, not the librarian to the children. He will at all times encourage children to come to him for advice and suggestions ami he will make his counsel so helpful to them that they will be glad to come, lie will watch the reading of individual children so far as he can, and advise with the teacher for such further direction as may be desirable.

The Week A Provincial Review and Magazine, published every Saturday by •THE WEEK" PUBLISHING COMPANY, LIMITED. Published at VICTORIA and VANCOUVER IIM Government Street.. Victoria, B.C. Ut Hastings St Vancouver, B.C. W. BLAKBMORE..Manager and Editor Two Sides of The Question. If after the manner of men, and some editors, I have achieved success, what advantageth it me if I hide my light under a bushel? This paraphrase of a classical utterance, for the adaptation of which may I be forgiven by "whatever powers there be," is suggested by the response which has been made to my little dissertation on "A bit of England on the Pacific." A reference to t'-e Correspondence column of this issue will show that I touched upon a subject of interest, which like most other subjects, can be approached from two sides. Let me first answer the letter of "New Victorian." It is gratifying to learn that all comers to this beautiful city are not treated as interlopers, and the picture which this correspondent paints of a family comfortably settled and gathering around them in thc short space of one year a circle of friends with whose companionship they are satisfied, ta as creditable to the newcomer as to those who have welcomed him. I have not the least doubt from my own observation that his account is perfectly correct. Without knowing him, 1 imagine, in fact his letter practically admits, that he is not a society man, ancl that like myself he is <|uite content to seek his friends among those who have no ambition to be classed with the Four Hundred. It is not such people as "New Victorian" who experience a difficulty iii forming new acquaintances, and in obtaining recognition in their own set, But my correspondent who is clearly a reasonable man would be the lirst to admit that all people do not move in one social circle, and that there is a set, having just as much right to its position in the community as his own or any other, which is governed by different rules and which observes different conventionalities; and people who have been accustomed to move in this class of society elsewhere, naturally expect to fit into the same groove when they come to Victoria, but as I pointed out, they experience a difficulty which does not exist elsewhere. I have lived in Halifax, which is supposed to be ultra English by reason of its Military and Naval element, and in Montreal, the Commer cial Capital of Canada, where the oldest and best families in the Dominion are to be found, but neither of these cities is as exclusive as Victoria. It is not easy to define just what constitutes the cachet of social status, but every one in society knows it instinctively, and it is often a puzzle to me why the leaders of society in Victoria should have departed so far from the standards of true gentility as to forget the courtesy which is due to members of their own circle who are too often treated as "strangers within the gate." It is all the more difficult to understand this wheu one regards some of the people who are received with open arms. An explanation of this chronic attitude of Victoria society was given to me this week by one who has resided in the city for nearly twenty years, and who both by birth and position belongs to the best social set. He declared that close observation over this peiiod convinced him that, in Victoria, society appraises a newcomer mainly on his ability and inclination to entertain on a large scale, and cultivate his acquaintance accordingly. People who evince a preference for quieter and simpler forms of social intercourse are either not taken up at aii or are quietly dropped as soon as it is realized that they do not intend to compete in large society functions. I am not prepared to say whether this is a sufficient explanation or just how much truth there may be in it, but no man in Victoria is in a better position to give a correct explanation. I must say a word in reply to "New Victorian's" argument, that newcomers should not be selected to fill public positions. I quite agree that his argument is correct as applied to service, say, on the City Council or the Board of Trade. Some considerable term of residence and an acquaintance with local conditions is necessary to enable a man to do justice to local conditions, but there are other posi- t'ons into which a man of experience elsewhere may step at once with advantage to the community. I cited the instance of the President of the Canadian Club who has made a conspicuous success. I think that, a man who has been a useful school trustee, Library commissioner or an active member of a Tourist Association elsewhere requires no local training to render him just as efficient in Victoria. In any event whatever force my remarks may have is derived from the fact that in no other city of Canada have I found this spirit of conservatism and exclusiveness carried so far, which explains why with all its natural advantages, Victoria lags behind in the march of progress and pays the penalty of its lack of enterprise in seeing itself outstripped by other competitors with far fewer advantages. The letter of a "Victoria Girl" is of a different class. She takes up the cudgels with a vengeance in defence of her sex, and her indictment against the young men of Victoria is one which I would not have dared to make. Just fancy this characterization:—"The men in Victoria lack ambition and push; so long as they can see three square meals ahead of them, together with enough of the necessary to keep up an appearance, that is sufficient. Of course they would like to marry, if only some one would put up the dough." My correspondent is a leader of society, and therefore ought to know what she is talking about, but when she declares that "among the young men of Victoria there is not an eligible one in the bunch," I think most of my readers will agree that she discovers "a rift within the lute" which it would be ungallant to submit to too minute an inspection. At the risk of forfeiting the good opinion of my fair correspondent, I am afraid that justice compels me to point out that in the last paragraph of her letter she unconsciously answers her own argument. She asks "if the Victoria men are too slow, and possibly too selfish t<* give the girls a good time, and the Englishman rises to the occasion, why should the girls be blamed?" If I were in the habit of using slang, such for instance as a "Victoria Girl" resorts to when she says, "It is up to the Victoria men to 'buck-up'," I should say that in the above paragraph she "gives the show away." Is it true then that Victoria girls are simply looking for "a good time," and that they are willing to devote their time and literally throw themselves at the man who is prepared to give them one? I can hardly believe it; surely this is a case which justifies the conclusion that women are their own severest critics. If, however, it is true, and "Victoria Girl" knows what she is talking about, and is in a position to speak for her class, then I can quite understand why there are so many candidates for perpetual spinsterhood in the Capital city, for men never marry the girl who cultivates their acquaintance in order to have "a good time"; neither do men marry girls who have had "a good time" with other fellows if they know it, at least that is the experience of Literary Notes. A new novel by the author of "The Magnetic North" and "A Dark Lantern" will be an event to a great many readers. The title of the new book by Miss Elizabeth Robins, which is to be published this month, is "The Convert," and it is said to be a story of the woman-suffrage movement in London—a theme offering plenty of opportunity for the display of Miss Robins's undoubted gift for the dramatic and picturesque. Numerous signs point to a growing interest in this country in the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, the German philosopher who died less than a decade ago in an asylum. Mad or not, Nietzsche has undoubtedly ben read more in Europe in the last ten years than any other philosopher. In England and America, although he has been much discussed, his actual work is less known, for the very good reason that only a portion of it has been translated. It is good news, therefore, that the complete translation, of which The Macmillan Company published the first volumes, is progressing, and that a new volume, "Beyond Good and Evil," has just been added. The translator is Miss Helen Zimmern. The volumes already published are "Thus Spake Zar- athustra," "A Genealogy of Morals," "The Dawn of Day," and "The Case of Wagner." The second of the volumes in which Mr. Frederic Harrison is collecting his most significant miscellaneous writings, has just appeared with the title "The Philosophy of Common Sense." Its connection with the first volume in the series is close, for as Mr. Harrison points out, "The Creed of a Layman" dealt with what the author calls, "The Religion of Common Sense," and the new volume is designed to throw light on the philosophical basis of that religion. The book consists largely of critical essays dealing with the work of Spencer, Lewes, Huxley, Balfour, and other English contemporaries of Mr. Harrison's. Mark Lee Luther's novel, "The Crucible," which has been appearing serially in The Cosmopolitan, is published this week in book form. The editors of The Cosmopolitan have stated that this story has attracted more attention and elicited more comment than any other serial that has ever appeared in the magazine. Mr. Luther, who has hitherto been best known as thc author of a capital political novel, "The Henchman," has certainly been successful in evolving an unusual situation. "The Crucible" is the story of Jean Fanshawe, a tomboy of immature ideas, but fine instincts, who through a perversion of justice, is committed to a state house Real Ebony FOR XMAS GIFTS Bids fair to be extremely popular this season.

The races which were run in ■connection with the recent fair were ■highly successful and the book-makers ■lost money, but still the aldermen de- Isire to protect the unsuspecting [public. At all fairs it is customary Ito have some attraction, in this city Ihorse races have predominated. This Iform of attraction has proved a grand ■ success in Victoria and no other attraction of such drawing power could Ibe secured for the same amount of [money. The prohibition of horse rac- ling is a direct blow at the manage- iment of the Agricultural Association, Iwho have in the past exerted every (effort to make the exhibition a suc- Icess and now their efforts are to be ['tampered by a party which has absolutely no knowledge of running a fair. Iff horse racing is prohibited, what littractions can be secured, which will ■draw such crowds. In New Westminister lacrosse is made a feature, but l.rom the experience of the last exhi- ■■jition it is safe to say that there is Tnore betting done on this attraction ]:han on the horse races which take hlace in Victoria. Regarding the exhibitions of the National game which Hvere given in New Westminster, it is |:ommon talk that the members of the Jforonto lacrosse team were warned hot to bet on their own team. This Is a form of betting that is entirely linknown in this city, but still the Royal City stands for it. If the delusion of the city aldermen is enforced it will not only mean the failure of the exhibition for one year, but for several years to come and in the end will mean the loss of the beautiful park, as it is almost a certainty that the citizens will not be content to maintain a losing proposition and the grounds will be sold at a decided loss to the city. We hope that the better spirit of the aldermanic board will prevail and arrangements made so that Victorians may still enjoy their horse races. Obtained Certificates. The pupils of Miss S. F. Smith, A. T. C. M., were presented with certificates of proficiency in their various musical studies at "Sea View," Dallas Road. Rev. Canon Beanlands commended each recipient for their good work under Miss Smith. The examiner, Mr. Fairclough, F.R.C.O., came specially from Toronto for the purpose, and the pupils and teacher were highly elated at their success. The following are the names of the successful candidates: Primary course—Ivan Hawksley, Florence Miles, Ilace Terry and Ethel Waxstock. First year course—Alice Muriset, Mabel Irvine, Mabel Booz and Alice Robelee. Second year course—Lillian Hag- gerty. Second year rudiments — Marie George. This makes sixteen pupils of Miss S. F. Smith who have passed examinations of the Toronto College of Music. How Can the Librarian Aid the Teacher? By Walter A. Edwards, Pasadena, Cal. A library possesses immense edu cational possibilities. It is a mighty educational engine, ranking in power not far behind the school, the Church, and the daily press. And its great power ought to be directed so that those who comes under its influence may get the most good possible from it. To be sure, the adult patrons of the library would probably resent as an impertinence any suggestion from the librarian that they were not getting the educational value from the books that they should, and any attempt on his part to supervise their choice of books. A certain library in the central West boasts of having reduced novel-reading from eighty per cent, of the total to fifty-nine per cent., as a result of a well-defined and consistently pursued policy. This librarian, thinks he has a responsibility for his patrons' reading, and he has actually exercised some decisive influence over it. But whatever one may think of the men and women, is there any doubt as to the librarian's duty toward the children? They certainly form a very large fraction of the total patronage of the public library. In some cases the ratio of children using the library to the total number of users, is as high as thirty-seven per cent. Merely on account of their number, then, the children are entitled to every consideration and to every provision that can fairly be made for their convenience. But there is another and better ground for their claim on the good offices of the ilbrarian. In this great army of children the librarian may, if he will, train up more intelligent users of books than his present adult patrons. They come to thc library with tastes unformed, and with no reading habits. They are not only open to suggestion, they desire it and ask for it. As Emerson says, "Here are friends waiting to bless the child, anxious to unfold to him their treasures cf wisdom and entertainment." But they are under a spell, and cannot speak until spoken to. And as the enchanter has dressed them like battalions of infantry, in coat and jacket of one cut, by the thousand and ten thousand, the boy's chances of hitting on the right one is to be computed by thc arithmetical rule of permutation and combination—not a choice out of three caskets, but out of half a million all alike. The chances are tremendously against him—unless some one will help him. And here is the librarian's opportunity and duty. And here, furthermore, is one of the most important ways in which the librarian can serve the school. Teachers are realizing the immense power for good or evil which books exercise in thc lives of their pupils and the need for the wisest counsel in their use; and they should gladly welcome the expert assistance the librarian can give in planning thc collateral and the miscellaneous reading of their pupils. But not only in directing the reading of the pupils may the librarian assist the teacher. In the course of frequent conferences between them, abundant opportunities for co-operation will suggest themselves, to the lasting benefit of the children. The librarian will keep informed as to the work the pupils are about to have in school, and he will be able to prepare lists of references and parallel readings on the various topics, perhaps in thc form of printed slips, for distribution to the children. He will anticipate Arbor Day, the various poets' birthdays, and other special occasions, and will have ready against the need lists of books helpful for special programmes and for further reading. He will recommend books for general reading, classified to suit the age and advancement of pupils in the different grades. He will be able to suggest special books to meet the needs of peculiar cases. He will keep his eye on the magazines and promptly list any article which may prove helpful to pupil or teacher. He will provide a separate room for the use of the children, well supplied with the right books, and made attractive with the pictures in which children delight—and properly supervised. He will perhaps arrange for special school and class-room libraries, loaning such books as a given class will need, these to be given out to individual pupils by the teacher. Or he will, from time to time, group such books on certain shelves in the children's room, constituting a sort of temporary reference library for certain lines of study. He will, on the invitation of the teacher, meet thc pupils at intervals and talk to them about the proper care of books, the use of the library for study and research, the use of dictionaries, cyclopedias, Poole's Index, etc. These talks, by the way, arc better given in the library; take the children to the library, not the librarian to the children. Hc will at all times encourage children to come to him for advice and suggestions and hc will make his counsel so helpful to them that they will be glad to come. He will watch the reading of individual children so far as he can, and advise with the teacher for such further direction as may be desirable. THE WEEK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1907.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1907. % fiusic and | I The Drama. | T^9^^^^_^^9Jjp_^9^9^9^<^ I am sorry that the splendid performances of the "Alaskan" which were given in the Victoria Theatre last Friday and Saturday were too late to be noticed in last issue. It is only due to John Cort to say that no j imic opera presented in Vticoria for many years is entitled to higher credit. The mounting and dressing were sumptuous, in fact it was quite evident from the raising of the curtain that the opera had been produced regardless of expense. The chorus girls were all young and pretty, a circumstance sufficiently unique to be startling. There were two voices in the Company which would not have been a discredit tot Grand Opera. I refer to the two leading men, the one billed as Harry Girard had a fine baritone voice with music in every tone. His singing of "Arlee" was a treat and the audience seemed as if they would never tire of it. Edward B. Martindell has a rich bass voice, and nothing at which anyone can take offence. Mr. Ade is a masterly hand at exposing the follies and foibles of the people, and in this play has done his best. The plot of "The Colege Widow" is a little episode in college athletics showing how Atwater College, through the witchery of the widow, lures a famous football player away from a rival college, and thereby wins a victory in the annual gridiron contest. Mr. Ade has most skilfully drawn his college characters, and there are almost a score of them, each so striking, as to win individual praise. The skill with which the big football scene in the third act is staged is already known to all theatre-goers. It is really remarkable how that scene takes hold of the audience, for although one does not see the actual clash of the gridiron warriors, there is seen the grandstand crowded with cheering enthusiasts, waving flags and shouting colege yells. There is depicted the depths of despair and the exultation of a victory. All the details are cleverly worked out, leading up to the final triumph of the Atwater boys, and when the climax comes, you will feel like joining in the cheering. It is a splendid scene, y p^i] g& Toby Lyons, Comedian in Yankee Regent. made his mark in every number. The Totem Pole song was the hit of the opera, and was encored half a dozen times. Miss Browning did well even if she was not a conspicuous success as the leading lady; her physical endowments being hardly equal to the part. Miss Adair looked and dressed beautifully, but should have been entrusted with a better song. The one number she had afforded no opportunity for the display of her talents. The chorus was first class, and had evidently been well trained; it is long since I heard as good a collection of musical voices. The attendance on the second night was larger than on the first, and there were many who expressed the wish that a return engagement should be arranged for. "The College Widow." Under the spell of the charming and bewitching "College Widow," which Mr. Henry W. Savage will present at the Victoria Theatre, Tuesday, November 19, we will again revel with the students of Atwater College, and those of us who spent many happy days around the campus, will have an opportunity to live over that period, and those of us who did not attend college, will be equally delighted. There are so many good points ^bout George Ade's splendid comedy, that one can keep on recalling new ones for days afterwards. It is bright, sparkling, and rollicking. It is a satire on college life, but it is so good-natured that there is and shows what a great stage manager like George Marion can do. The vein of sentiment running through the play adds materially to the interest and causes moments of pathos that brings a tear to the eye. The play is finely developed in this particular, for in the midst of an hilarious or exciting scene, an incident is introduced that causes a quick tug at the heart strings and touches a chord of responsive interest. If you are feeling well, this comedy will make you feel still better; if you are ill, after laughing with the genuine comedians of real life, you will notify your physician to discontinue his visits and you will begin to laugh with the throngs who believe in living on the sunny side of the street where they "laugh and the world laughs with you." The cast includes Miss Marguerita Snow, formerly leading woman yith James O'Neil; Mr. Robert Kelly, Misses Clare Weldon, Estelle Dale, Maude Eatle, Mabel Deane, Shirley Graham, Esther Boggs, and Messrs.

The plot, by the way, said to be a consistent one, reveals a Yankee politician and embryo poet in Germany, where he is subsequently made Regent of the principality owing to the discovery that he is a thirty-second cousin of the lat ruler and through two acts he is disclosed surrounded with even more than the share of troubles that are wont to befall the stage king. The cast of the piece is perhaps worthy of equal note with the book and music, for it contains the names of a half score of the best song birds and fun-makers in the realms of fun-makers in the realms of musical comedy. The New Grand has a splendid programme this week, the cleverest item of which is the balancing act of Howard and Deleon. Their work is as near perfection as possible. Felix Adler is clever in his patter songs, and the Nelson Farnum troupe of comedy acrobats are as good as they make them. For variety and all- round excellence the vaudeville show at the Grand could hardly be improved upon. Next weeks bill will be headed by The Five Bellatzer Sisters, European gymnasts, in a sensational act which is well staged and expensively costumed; Mr. and Mrs. Mark Munroe will present a little comedy playlet entitled "The Beauty Doctor"; Jack Lyle is a minstrel comedian; Chas. Sa Van and Emmet Hill have a big comedy acrobatic act; Geo. Smedley, "The Instrumental Man," plays selections upon mandolin, banjo and guitar and is said to be a master of all of preparations. This shows the great I confidence the Sanitol people have in their goods, knowing that everyone who once tries them will appreciate their value and benefit to health, and continue to use them. By cutting out the coupon in the advertisement in this issue every reader can obtain $2.70 worth of the "Sanitol" products for $1.00.

If Victoria sports had known what a good thing had been provided the hall would have been full; as it was several hundred people, including a fair sprinkling of ladies, enjoyed two hours of clean, clever work with the gloves. The only bout that could be considered a failure was the first in which Sergeant Sampson, who was obviously not in condition was entirely outclassed by A. E. Sugg, and retired at the end of the third round. Victorians were introduced to a cracker-jack in Bob Ritchie of Montreal, who outclassed Colly Hill at every point and received an ovation for his clever work. Ritchie afterwards challenged any man in Canada or the United States at 130 pounds. In the absence of Tom Fiefield of Vancouver, his intended opponent, Lynn White, boxed ten rounds with Haney of Ladysmith, to whom he was conceding at least fifteen pounds. The referee called it a draw, but if it was as announced, a contest for points there was only one in it, and his name was not Haney. Billy Hill of Victoria and Jack Vinson from Australia boxed four pretty rounds. Vinson Big Game. G. C. Coleman, of London, England, arrived intown on Saturday after a very successful hunting trip on Fording river. He got three fine big horns and five goats. One big horn measured sixteen and one-quarter inches in circumference at base, thirty- eight inches outside curviture and twenty-four inches in breadth at the widest part; the second was not quite so large, measuring seventeen inches in circumference at base and thirty- six inches outside curviture. The other was a three-year-old ram. The goats were also very large and altogether Mr. Coleman expressed himself as being delighted with his trip. —Fernie Free Press.
