House Phoneâ€"Grover 4963 There is no better textbook of near-ancient history than the advertisements, but for the study of current history they are even more invaluable. Millions of women every day study the current hisâ€" tory of fashion in neWSpaper\advertisements, and millions of both sexes follow in the same place the contemporary development of the automobile, furniture, radio and every other marktable product. still. cooker.

Style changes from the hoopskirt and bustle of the 70’s to the knee-length skirt of today are shown. Development of the el- ectrical age, the telephone, electric light, phonograph, player piano and radio; progress of locomotion from the high-wheeled bicycle to the outomobile; the safety razor and the farm tractor, all are shown in illustrations and detailed descriptions.

The catalog, newspaper ads, the magazine unrolls before one as luminously as a film on the screen the developement of the times. The saga of the customs, clothes, im- plements and playthings of toâ€"day will be faithfully depicted in these advertisements excavated some thousands of years hence. HISTORY IN THE MAKING That there are sermons in stones and books in the running brooks has long been an article of literary faith, but only now is there complete realization of the truth of the statement that the archeol- ogists of a far-off tomorrow will seek his treasures in the advertise- ments of today. ,‘ SOCIAL LIFE It is astonishing how slow many people are in. getting ac- quainted. Not merely do strangers find it hard to make friends, but old-time residents will not speak to each other. People may meet each other on the street for year and never give any sign of recognition. They know each other perfectly, and would like to get acquainted, but they have not been introduced. These unbending people may be charming in their own cir- cles and full of kind thoughts toward others. Their attitude does not necessarily mean that they are proud. It frequently comes from an exaggerated feeling of propriety or bashfullness, an idea that they will be considered forthputting if they disregard strict etiquet. A town where this spirit exists has a cold pall of distance stifling its people. They cannot form friendships they need for their own welfare and the development of the community. People get false ideas of each other and look on'each other as haughty. They draw back in their own little shells, and no neighborly spirit is developed. It is a good rule when two men or two women have met each other enough so they know each other by sight to get acquainted. As isolated strangers they are an obstacle to the unity of the com- munity. When they get to know each other, and discuss their comâ€" mon interests, they become good neighbors and a force for community progress. Every day motor traffic is increasing in volume, yet with all the general knowledge at the disposal of the automobilist, some drivers seem to be unaware that there is particular danger at grade railroad crossings. Almost daily the dispatches carry details of deaths caused by some careless motorist driving upon a railroad crossing in front of an approaching train. These drivers seem to be so careless and irresponsible as “to make their acts little short of criminal. Individuals of seeming intelligence, able co possess cars and operate them, remain as ignorant when it comes to driving across a railway track as the savages who have never seen a railroad or locomotive. It is a good policy to TAKE A MINUTE AND SAVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. I pray Almighty God that the words I write in this house may be pure and honestâ€"that they be dictated by no personal spite, un- worthy motive or unjust greed for gain; that they may tell the truth as far as I know itâ€" and tend to promote love and peaceâ€" amongst men. -â€"â€"William Makepeace Thackeray.

April 29, 1897 The Board of Education held anâ€" other meeting yesterday and rescinded a former motion to rebuild the High School on the old site. Several sites were referred to but none of them fil- ed the bill to the satisfaction of the majority of the members. A commitâ€" ‘tee was appointed to make further inquiry relative to available sites and 1said committee are instructed to reâ€" ‘pOrt at another meeting to be held “next Monday. It is hoped that sel- ection will then be made and that if not unanimous the minority will fall in with the majority and work with a determination to have a good High School erected speedily as possible. The erection of a building should not be endangered by a difference of op- 1inion among trustees as to where the ‘school shall be. The regular meeting of the council was held on April 11, but the question of paving Yonge Street apparently was not discussed.

At the time it was reported the councillors expressed approval of the legislation and it was accepted that at last the main street would be paved. In your issue ofsMarch 24 it was announced that the proposed legislation was be- fore the house and since that time the people have been patiently awaiting an announcement from the council.

Hughes Bros. are making extensive improvements in the interior of their hotel at Thomhill It may be that the council are go- ing to spring a surprise package and have the street paved some morning when we wake up. But that would be too good to be true. Concentration of effort will speed up the work and delays will be avoided by getting an early start. If the work is started as early in the season as possible we might have a creditable street to take care of the heavy tourist traffic in the midsummer months.
