THEY LOVED CHILDREN.
Great Writers Who Won the Hearts
Of the Youngsters.


Of the Youngsters.
1t Is one OF the most lovable traits
in many of our greatest men that they
are us skiliful in winning the hearts OF
little children as in captivating the
minds OF their parents
Was there ever q great man who did
not love children? If there was. and
We have never heard or read OF him. his
greatness was by so much the less.
Even Sam Johnson relaxed his grim
ness into smiles of pleasure when Bos-
wells baby daughter held out her arms
to him and pulled his hair when he
was not sufficiently attentive TO her.
Byron, whose own child life had been
so saddened and imbittered by love
less mother. worshiped his little daugh-
ter Ada with all his passionate soul.
and history has no sweeter picture than
that of Southey singing his child to
sleep as he paced the floor with his lit
tie burden of love- in his arms.
Lambs great heart had many u warm
corner for his child friends-an the
heart, in fact. that his sister Mary did
not fill-and when he took his daily
walk through Edmonton ii was the sig
nal for all the little children to flock to
him for a kiss, kind word, or, better
than all, to take his hands or coat tails
and accompany him on his rambles.
1t is little wonder that Charles Dick

was a more entertaining companion or

Tuition for Non-Residents.

superintendent Hayden reported the
collection of $50 fer tuition of nor
resident pupils in the grammar
schools for the first semester. while
Principal Brown collected 1922 for
non-residents' tuition and S252.21 from
the sale and rental of text books. The
board authorized the purchase of
three additional typewriters fer the
high school commercial department.
There was discussion of fire escapes
for the high school, but the question
was left over for consideration at Il
future meeting.
During the three years that the
book rental system has been in vogue
the report shows the total eXpendi-
ture to be $1.SS6.37. while the amount
collected from the rentals and sales
foots up to $1.311.2S. which makes the
expense of the board of education
$1,000. TO show for this expenditure
the board has full equipment of
text books sufficient to supply 400
scholars.

In his message the president said
nothing about the tariff. A year and
q half ago he was talking tariff revi-
sion and tariff commission. Last
spring he left of talking on both these
subjects and was reported to have
joined the "stand Patters'', after a
conference at the White House with
representatives of the Protective Tar
if league, just before he started on
his western trip. Is he silent be-.
cause the protected interests told him
then that If he continue to talk tariff
