Mr. Charles Minty, formerly of {Newtonbrook but now of Toronto, visited the Young People’s Society at their last meeting and gave them a 'splendid address upon “Service.” One interesting feature was that good Ihearers rendered service as well as good speakers. Nothing helps a speaker so much as the presence of people and especially the presence of those who were both sympathetic and encouraging. But just being present counted for a whole lot. It was more inspiring to the speaker to speak to forty than twenty, to two hundred than to one hundred. Even in a Young People’s Society; those wh ) do not feel able to take a public part, make for the success of the Society by being present and thus encourage those who do speak or sing. Mr. H. Thomas sang a solo that was mudh appreciated and Miss Marjory Lewis contributed an instrumental solo in her efficient way. Miss Janet Ridd- 1e, the first Vice-President, occupied the chair. The skating party, staged by the Y. P.S. to Unionville, last week was at- tended by forty young people and all declared that they had an excellent outing. Next Monday evening there will be presented an elaborate Valentine soci- al under the joint auspices of the Young People’s Society and the Polly- anna. Club. Admission, 25 cents.

Surely the advocates of this site are careless of a central location. Then, if this is chosen, the Ontario educators are not as wise as old Chin- ese, who would not build their schools near graveyards because of their de- pressing influence upon the impres- sionable minds of youth. We feel deeply sorry for the position in which Mr. Elliott finds himself to-day; a member of the Township \Council and in the center of this dispute over his land. When he was elected it was thought that the matter was settled and his large vote was, We feel sure, a tribute both to him upon the gener. ous terms he had offered his land and the action of the School Board in ac- cepting the offer. It is only small, mean and biased minds that would misunderstand his position. We still think the site cannot be bettered, when all things are taken into considâ€" ‘eration; for this site is as easily ac- cessible to all the children of this school area as any other that has been ‘suggested and it has other desirable ladvantages besides its accessibility. IIts natural beauty and the amount of land offered are advantages that ishould not be overlooked; and it is as close to Yonge street as wisdom would suggest. Mid Winter Promotions Room I. S. S.

Prices of butter, eggs, chicken. pork ducks and Cream seem to carry on frbm week to week with such unvary- ing monotony that a change,‘in either direction, would be quite exciting, but the quotations remain the same.

We hope she will soon be able to be out again. Every visit to the bi-weekly matket at the north city limits seems to dis- close something new and attractive, sometimes it is a new kind of cake or cookie, or some fresh vegetable makes its reappearance, and at this time of year it is very often some fresh flower heralding spring that adds that little zest to the business of buying. Miss Edith Craig also spent the Weekâ€"end in the house, but is able to be out again. Mr. James Rodick has been confined to his bed for sometime, we Wish him a speedy recovery.
