It is easy and worth While, Just a word, just a smile, Just a greeting, kindly glance, A word of encouragement per chance. Just a little kindly deed, A little help in time of need. Let us spread then joy and cheer, Right throughout this coming year. Buy at the KUNKES' STORE! BAYVIEW GARAGE EXPERT REPAIRS ON ALL MAKES OF CARS.

M. H. S. REVIEW Page Fifty-Three They are blessed with many other natural resources as well. For exam- ple, Alberta possesses an abundance of high grade coal, sufficient to meet all the needs of the Dominion for an indefinite length of time. Ontario, the banner province, is experiencing such a remarkable period of growth in every direction, that the outlook is most encouraging. Mining espec- ially is opening up new avenues of wealth and prosperity. Although Quebec is the oldest province in the Dominion, it continues to play a pow- erful part in shaping Canada's future. Each year the Maritime provinces contribute a greater share to the name and fame of our country. Lusc- ious fruits How in from the Annapolis valley. Finest fox-furs are obtain- ed from Prince Edward Island, and every year the output from fisheries is enormous. All over Canada, the same bright indications of a great stride for- ward are evident. Canadian products are being used in almost every country in the world. Within view of the glittering ruins of the wonder- ful Athenian buildings, Grecian mothers are making bread and cookies from Canadian flour. Workmen in the dairies and packing houses of Denmark wear Canadian made rubber boots. The mines of the Rand in South Africa produces gold by power transmitted by Canadian made rubber belting, and business men in the Netherlands, Straits Settlements, Belgium and the Argentine skim along about their businesss in Canadian- made automobiles, equipped with Canadian tires. The popular sandwich at the Henley Regatta is made from Canadian lobster and salmon. Peruv- ian and Colombian crude oils How down Canadian pipe-lines to the tankers at the port docks. The grain fields of France resound the whirl and slash of Canadian binders at harvest time. We are sending needles and pins to Great Britain. Canadian lanterns shed a glow on the waters of the Yang-tse from Chinese junks and barges. Our ferro-alloys lead, zinc, spelter, nickel, and aluminum are all improving the metal products of other nations. Theatre curtains the world over are made fire-resistant with Canadian asbestos. Canadian toilet soap brightens the faces of West Indians and South Americans, while Canadian carbide brightens their nights. West docks are solidified by Canadian cement re-inforced by Canadian steel. The dock warehouses have Canadian rolling-doors, and Canadian rails carry the produce to and from steamers. Newspapers, with circulations running into millions, carry their messages on Canadian newsprint. Bonnie lassies in New Zealand and England photograph their picnic parties with Canadian cameras and films. Canada's reputation for industry will soon place her on a pedestal of recognition. For to-day, Canada is a steadily rising star in the con- stellation of nations called the British Empire. To-day, we are the most materially envied country in the world. Yet, in the last analysis, all the material elements however vast and varied of the wealth of a nation de- pend for their use and development on the character of its people. The future greatness of Canada is assured not by its natural resources, im- mense as thej: are, but by the energy, intelligence, and capacity, of the people to whom they are entrusted. The realization of that truth and the fulness of its application will determine our degree of growth in the twentieth or any other century. LORNE LETHERBY.

Page Fifty-Four M. H. s. REVIEW Qifxtbanges The exchange department is carried on for'the purpose of helpfully criticizing one another's school papers. We ask you to take the criticisms, complimentary or adverse, with the spirit in which they are written, that of justice and friendliness. Our exchanges are few this year owing to the great demand on collegiates for the confederation number of their school papers. Next year we sincerely hope to see the exchanges doubled. The Echoes -Peterborough Collegiate, Peterborough. The Echoes is certainly a credit to your school. Your essays and poetry are particularly good. The Harbord Review -Harbord Collegiate Institute, Toronto. A splendid publication. The careful division of departments is worthy of comment, also your interesting sport write-ups. The Oracle -General Amherst High School, Amherstburg. A very neat paper, but almost too much advertising for its size. Vox CoIlegii -Barrie Collegiate, Barrie. We congratulate you on your fine publication. The arrangement could not be better, but an ex- change page would improve your paper. The Eavesdropper''-Lindsay Collegiate. The January issue is very complete. It must keep you hustling to produce such a paper each month. Garnet and White -Picton Collegiate, Picton. A good book but too much humor. Trinity University Review e-Your paper is one of the best on our list. The Tattler -Port Colborne High School. More distinct division of departments would help your book. Lampadion -Delta Collegiate, Hamilton. The Lampadion has a very high standard. Thanks for the exchange. Acta Victoriana -Victoria College in the University of Toronto. An exchange we appreciate. 'tHarpooner''-Renfrew Collegiate Institute. A fair book, consid- ering the size of your school,-your Year Book could be larger. 0:0vimiiawioiarg-n1as1n1o1cv1oi4rinininzxivioinzuinsioininiuribzo v E , ! g A WORD TO STUDENTS e i i We carry in stock the Waterman, and the Whal Fountain i e Pens, also cheaper lines, and the Waterman and Eversharp ' !
