CONTEST At SCHOOL
WAS GREAT SUCCESS

Friday was a great day in Ray
mer.... It was the first attempt to
bring all of the school Of the dis
rict together in one big demonstra-
tion Of loyalty and cooperation
among all parts Of our schools pop
ulation for the general good of all
and the promotion Of efficiency in
all departments.
The program as advertised in the
Enterprise was carried out with
only a trifling variation, but the
performance was better than adver-
tised.
The exhibits from all Of the
schools showed that a great deal Of
labor had been done by the pupils,
and that there had been a world Of
careful direction by tireless teach
ers. Busy work for the little tots,
drawings by older ones, maps,
mechanical drawings, penmanship,
booklets and note books Of various
students all showed what an inter
ested and interesting place the
school rooms Of District No. 81
must be.
We wonder if the pupils Of this
age realize the difference between
the times when they get their edu-
cation and those when their parents
went to school. 1t may not be as
much better as we imagine, but it
is certain that it must be more in.
teresting and school is robbed Of
much that made it irksome years
ago.
The morning was given up to
addresses, papers, drills, etc. At
noon dinner was served.
After dinner sports showed up
that side Of school life. The prizes
show where the honors went.
In the evening, spelling contest,
and defamation contest were the
principal events, but here drills
were interspersed to break the mo-
notony.
The contests resulted in honors

QUEBEC REALLY FRENCH CITY
People Cling to Language Of the Land
Of Their Forefathers-LittIe
Noise on the Streets.

Quebec Is the seemingly impregnable
stronghold Of France In America. It is
true that Wolfe defeated Montcalm on
the plains Of Abraham. and the British
flag replaced the French on the citadel,
but to all intents and purposes 1t is a
French city still. Four-fifths of the
people are French; French Is taught
In the schools, and spoken everywhere.
Quebec is not only different from
cities Of the United States, but 1t Is ut
terly different from the rest Of Canada.
It Is much older and looks even older
because 1t is built largely of gray
stone. Quebec thrives and grows, but
not noislly and obviously like other
American cities. The additions are all
10 perfectly in harmony with what Is
already there that You can scarcely de-
tect them.
Just as the city seems to grow Inn
perceptibly, 80 1t seems to be busy
without being at all noisy or confused.
The narrow streets. many OF them
steep as toboggan slides, are well filed
with people; but the din Of street
noises Is strikingly absent. The pe0-
pie are soft-voiced and do not shout
about their business; there are few au-
tomobiles, and no street venders. Es-
pecially on Saturday nights you are
struck by the fact that the streets are
packed. and yet almost silent, except
Tor a low hum Of conversation and
laughter.

There need be no fear that there
will ever be lack Of men willing to
bear arms in defense OF our flag.
This is a time when it may well be
decided that the need of men in
field and factory to produce food
and munitions of war is greater
than the need Of fighting men. If
it becomes evident that the great
need is on the firing line, brave
and true men will respond ready to
go where duty calls, either to Eu.
rope or to other fields.
