large audience at the Park opera

talent of Iona neat sum was

for the inclement weather.
The "skewl" was in two acts, the
morning session and afternoon ses-
sion Glass work was the order in
the morning while the afternoon rep
resented the last day of "skewl" and
exercises We're" held All acted su-
perbly but special mention must be
made of Mrs. Adeline Sperry. who
played the part of the new pupil,
especially in the second act when
she did some singing along the "fu-
turist' order. The credit also goes to
her for composing the rhymes which
were gotten off so effectively by Mr..
Sperry during the performance. Mr..
Sperry's crack at the present adj
ministration for arrestiug and filming
so many speedsters to the tune of
Polly Wolly Doodle" was humor-
Gus in the extreme.
Arthur Swartzlander as the blub-
bering boy also made good, and the
rendition of the mouse" story kept
the audience in gale of laughter.
Mrs. Il. S. Galloway sang, "School
Days" in very effective manner.
Iona is to be congratulated on the
manner in which 'Ye Village Skewl"
was presented.

work to parallel his Germany and the
Germans" THE West and the East"
and ENGLAND and the English" when
his career was cut short by his sud-
den death in Denmark last year. He
had then completed only the two
chapters that. appear in the October
and November issues of Scribner's
Magazine. Mr. Collier was most ia.
vorably impressed with the democratic
institutions of Norway and the gen
eral health of the people. "Probably
there are no communities anywhere
else in the world so self-eficient, so
independent and so comfortable.
Indeed, their size and wholesome
aspect prove this, for they are the
fairest, tallest broadest-chested, and
longest-lived people in the world to-
day. The average lifetime in Norway
was 1894 years for both sexes to-
gether; or, separately for men 4S.73
and for women 5121 in 1880; but
was further improvement, for men
50.21, for women 54.14 With the ex.
ception of Sweden there is nothing
comparable to this elsewhere in the
world. Even more startling are the
exact figures of longevity. In 1909
the total deaths were 31,708; of these
1926 were under one year, and 10,889
were over seventy years of age, while
5,673 lived to be over eighty!" Mr.
Collier found that this vigorous condi-
ton was not the result of overwhelming
and an artificial program of health,
but was due to the fundamental self
reliance engendered by owning prop.
erty.
In a general way it may be said
that the trade and industry of Nor
way is thriving in spite of the Eu-
ropean war, or, in some cases, posi-
bly, because of the war. But there are
exceptions. The manufacture of safe
ty matches, for instance, is an i'm
portant industry, employing many
men in Christiania and its immediate
vicinity. And this industry is being
seriously crippled. The particular
kind of wood from which these
matches are made is largely imported
from Russia, and that importation has
been stopped, of course. Besides,
since the war began there has been
much difficulty in marketing the prod
uct. So a number of the factories
have closed down or are running only
half time; and thus the army of the
unemployed has been increased. The
same conditions obtain in Sweden,
which country is, with Norway, the
principal competitor Of Japan in sup
plying the world with matches.
