How to Tell a Good School.

Even more indicative of the inner
spirit of a school, howHTer, are the lit
tie indications given by the talk of
boys at home on their vacations, says
Appleton's Magazine Don't make the
mistake of believing what they tel.
you about the lessons, or the food, or
even the prowess of the football team.
A boy is an inveterate generalizer and,
moreover you are quite likely to mis-
understand his Technology. He will
tell you that the food is rotten. b"
that the milk is always sour, that Mr..
So-and-so is a fearful soak" and
gives out a hundred lines of Virgil to
lesson right straight along, and that
| the football team has never been
beaten; all of which will only mean
that sometimes it has happened that
the food was not above criticism,
the. milk was sour, Mr. So-andso gave
out long Jesse n, and the football
team has won. No, don't try to pump
him about the school, but just notice
how he talks of it, and of the masters.
If he fires up when you suggest that
there is anything to criticise in it, il
he speaks of this or that master with
a gentle suggestion of affection in his
voice. and more especially If he does
not try to entertain you with stories
of how this or that boy beat out" this
or that master, then the chances are
that he goes to a good school.

Now is the time all must work and
make good in order to win one of the
fine prizes, for this is positively the
last week of this contest extraordin-
ar and those who wait will be the ones
who will lose out, for every subscrip-
ton must be in or sent in not later
than midnight Saturday. No ifs nor
and's will be accepted and your ex-
cuses will not count, for the subscrip-
lions and votes must positively be in
the ballot box by Saturday night or
they will not be counted. If you stand
good chance to win, few subscrip-
lions may help you win one of the

will carry away the $4,000 in gold and
the many other fine prizes. There are
bound to be at letast four winners in
each and ever district where there
are four workers.
If GU ever expect to do anything big
in this great contest now is the time,
for after this week subscriptions will
be of no use to on as far as our
standing in this contest is concerned
There are an number of people who
have not given their subscription to
anyone, and those who go to them and
see them first will be the ones who
will carry away the fine prizes. Sub
scriptioD and advertising are not hard
to get if you go after them in the
right maner, and a single subscription
or one advertising card may separate
you from the very prize which you
have been working for dusing the
past nine weeks. While the main in
terest is centened in the $4,000 in
gold, but not one of the candidates
has lost sight of the many other fine
prizes that are to be given after the
