WEATHER CUTTING CAPERs

upon very little reflection. that in the
matter of argument The weather al
ways has the last. word. No one can
ever tell what that word will be Very
often. 1t is anything but parlia-
snentary. Mr. Shakespeare once re-
marked the rude voice OF the winter

service, having made two reports, so
confused and entangled the minds OF
the members that they were unable to
agree as 10 which report should be
adopted.
Naturally, the debate followed par
tisan lines. The Republicans have
pinned great hopes upon what might
be discovered by the special commit

Another evidence of the RAPIDLY
increasing wealth in this section is
the fact that since 1914 the number
of autos in the four western prov
inces has increased 437 per cent
and this during the greatest wcr Of
history.
These figures must be source of
qualification for every American, for
outside of the very cordial relation
ship of Canada and the United
States, our wealth increases even as
does that of Western Canada-we
sell machinery, manufactured goods
and Injuries for the money earned
by their foodstuffs and raw ma
terials--and what better market

APPROPR|ATES $4,000
TO MATHEMATICS

New York, March 7.-Thc general
education board announces the APP
preparation of $4,000 for the ma
tional committee on mathematical re-
quirements, for completion of its
work looking toward reorganization
along lines of the methods Of teach
ing mathematics. particularly in
high schools.
This supplements previous APP
preparation of $4,000 made last year
for the same purpose
The above committee undertook
this work at tho request of the math-
ematical association of America, and
of the American Mathematical So
ciety.
The criticism of the methods of
mathematical study generally pre-
vailing Is that. without important
change. mathematical teaching is
following methods established cen,
turtles ago: that present secondary
school courses are too abstract and
too often uninteresting except to the
automatically inclined, that they
are not as valuable as they might
be as an aid to college work in gen.
eral. or to practical life work.
The object of the committee is to
construct curriculum which would
adapt mathematical instruction 10
the needs of the weil-informed citi-
zen, without in any way jeopardizing
the scholarship for which the science
has always stood. Instances in point
are studies In statistics, graphic
charts, mechanical aids TO calculation.
the uses of formulate. etc.

Much of this vast increase of
wealth is due to the development of
irrigation-in Saskatchewan and
Alberta over a million acres of once
arid and valueless land have been
turned into rich and productive
farming tracts. This is due largely
to the efforts of the far seeing heads
of the Canadian Pacific Railway, who
turned a dream into an empire by
means of thousands Of miles Of
bitches in their Southern Alberta
irrigation projects at an expenditure
not far from twenty millions Of dol
lars and proved irrigation in West
ern Canada a greater source of
future wealth than the mines of Ind.
The leading staples which 20 to
make up this extraordinary total of
agricultural wealth are wheat, oats.
hay, fruits, live stock, wool, dairy
products and poultry.

MAUDE SWIFT HAwLEY

The news Of the sudden death OF
Mrs. Maude Swift Hawley at her home
in Oakland, California, on June 9th
brings sorrow to many beside the
family circle, who had known her
since her childhood.
The writer remembers her first as
a little girl playing on the Seminary
walk with her brother, Burton Swift,
her insepsrable companion until his
unit mely death in 1859. Years OF
school life and music study; Of help
! funcss in the home and church and
of happy social life with the friends
Of her youth followed Then in Jan
uary, 1904, she was married to NJ. j.
Hawley, whose family, like her own,
had been residents of the town almost
since its beginning, Mr.. Hawley was
established in business with the Yer
mont Marble Co. in San Francisco, but
the home was in Oakland, where Mrs.
Hawleys sunny disposition and mus
ical gift soon made her the center of
!. new circle of church and social rela-
tionskips. Her only child, Catherine,
was born in 1906 and Mrs Hawley
gave to her care and education an
unstinted devotion, denying herself the
pleasure Of visits to her old home that
she might not interrupt her little
daughters school work. She had just
graduated from the grades and was
ready for high school when her
mother, who had watched her progress
so carefully, was taken from her.
Besides her husband and daughter,
two step-children, Donald and Helen
Hawley, are left to mourn the loss Of
her presence in the pleasant home in
Oakland; while here in Manchester,
where the memories Of her childhood
and youth center, her mother, Mrs.
Agnes Burton, Swift, her brother Ed
ward II. Swift, and her aunt, Mrs. Ella
Il. Swift; are left TO bear the burden
Of heavy sorrow.
1t is not known when her remains
will be brought back TO be placed in
Dellwood, but in time her body will be
laid to rest where so many of her kin
d.ed already lie.
Mrs. Hawley was happy in her
native disposition and fortunate in the
Of her life, so that it
may be truly said for her
Life had many a pleasant hour
Many a bright and cloudless day."
