What President Harper Of the

-It Is without question true that
in linguistic work Il draw my Il
lustrations from the department
with which I am personally con-
nected-Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic,
Assyrian), the work done by CORE
spondence Is even better than that
done In the classroom. Students
who come to us after q year Of
such work are better prepared
than those who have taken II win
us in the classroom; and we do
not mean to say that we are not
doing our very best for our stu
dents In the classroom. The CORE
spondence student does all the
work himself; he does 1t In writ
ing. and in the learning Of q
language nothing can take the
place Of writing. He does twenty
times as much reciting as he
would in a class where there are
twenty people; he works out the
difficulties himself, and the results
stay by him. In resident work,
with the teacher at his elbow,
the explanation comes easily and
quickly. and often goes as easily
and as quickly"

II made no money by my hymns,
said a feeble old man of seventy-seven,
a resident of the Isle Of Wight, who
was recently examined in bankruptcy
proceedings. This was the author of
There's Friend for Little Children -
Misfortune had overtaken him, and he
seemed to be utterly without resource
until Christian England heard of his
plight. Then subscriptions were ev-
erywhere started and funds contribut-
ed for his relief, and now he may look
forward to peaceful years. A hymn
that sings it's way to hearts and con-
sciences is not necessarily profitable
to its author; but if we could measure,
in money, it's worth to humanity, how
rich he would grow!

Reapportionment of representation
in Canada after a; new census is a
simpler matter than in the United
States. When the Dominion was
formed the rule was adopted that the
Province of Quebec should always
have sixty-fve members of the Lower
House of Parliament. The population
of Quebec, divided by sixty-fve, fur
nishes, therefore, the basis of repre-
sentation for the other provinces.
Under the new apportionment, while
Quebec remains stationary, Ontario
and the Maritime Provinces will lose
representatives, and British Columbia
and Manitoba will gain.
