children have been quite sick. She
writes letter that Is at once de-
light and joy, but she does not want
it published. She says that since
Echoes" came to occupy such a pro-
minent place in her mothers heart,
many of us are somewhat reluctant
to write to you so freely as hereto
fore, fearing lest your motherly pride
might usurp your better judgment,
and allow the prattlingsc of your
foster child to creep into those same
Echoes" Again she says, eve, the
Woman's club of Mackay are very
busy these mid-winter days, devising
ways and means and other things
that you reck not of, but If you will
just keep an eye open this way all
your daughters secrets eventually
will become yours also, as your
child, like the most of her sex, Is
not infallible and can't always keep
a secret" Again she says, eve had
the second of our evening social ses-
sions at the home of Mrs Greene
Friday. when we invited the gentle
men to supper-all pronounced it a
great success socially and gastronom-
ically." OF course we are proud Of
our daughter 1.-THE Woman's Club
of Mackay." and like all mothers en-
JOY telling all the nice things she
says and does, so we ask no pardon
of the club fraternity for telling
here in public, that when very good
person from Mackay who attended
the social evening" told us how be-
autifully the members responded to
toasts, we felt just pride in the fact
our daughter was taking her proper
place In clubdom and filling it credit
ably Yes. we love our baby daught-
er, Mackay, because we know her and
spend some time with her during the
summer season, but the whole dis
trict Is ready to gather Rupert into
open arms and love her IL she would
only write to us. You know she is
our adopted child-for while Mackay
was born into the fold, Rupert was
quite we'll grown child when she
came to us, and while we truly love
her we want to know more about
her. How old are you Rupert, and
how many in the family and what do
you study, what do you like to do?
Tell us about yourself, please.

stTHE most colossal Improvement
i which recent years have seen |
in secondary education lies In the |
of the manual training |
schools; not because they will give |
us a people more handy and prac-
teal for domestic life and better
skilled in trades, but because they |
will give us citizens with an entirely
lifferent intellectual fiber. Labora-
DRY work and shop work engender
