To THE PUBLIc.-Me.srs. Bryant Stratton
have recently opened Commercial College
in Toronto, G. W., thus extending their already
gigantic enterprise of commercial education,
and making it truly international as well as
national, in its character. One feature rela-
tive to the course of study in these schools, is
worthy of notice: The purchase of Schol-
arship in one, gives to the holder ar unlimited
course of instruction, as to time, and in either
of the schools constituting the National Chain
of Colleges. In this way, should a Student
business or inclination call him away before
the completion of course of study where be
may have entered, he can hardly fail of find
ing equal facilities in some other school con-
nected with this great enterprise.
We are satisfied that these Colleges are
doing much good in educating the young men
of the country in the ways of business life,
and we are confident of doing the public a
favor by commencing them to the confidence
of all desirouS of being more proficient in
business affairs.

Upon first reading it we were tempted to lay

mon sense of the people dispose of the ''grnm-
blings." War is cruel and unnatural state
its sufferings and privations are intense; this
truth, even we at home have been made to
feel and men going into the army, either vol
UNFAIRLY or involuntarily should make up
their minds to bear with all its inconven-
iencies knowing that the end for which they
labor is intellectually precious. We are sur
prised that q man in whose judgement we had
as much confidence as that of our correspon-
dent, should permit himself TO be led into this
lamentable habit Of fault-fnding. Warriors
do not sleep upon ''downy beds" or partake
of .feasts fiji for King until their work Is
accomplished. and we would advise our friend,
