A Country Dance In the country, the main feature of social life is the country dance, and now, with a background of noise in the loudest sense of the word, merriment, and corn , I would like you to come with me to one of these shindigs . The country dance is usually held in the one-room community hall. There is an un- curtained stage at the front, and old- fashioned wood-stove in the centre of the floor, and a neat row of backless and al- most legless chairs along the three walls. It is in this building that some fifty men, women, and offspring gather, usually on Friday nights, to expel the excess energy they have accumulated during the week. The people start to assemble about nine o'clock but the dance is not in full swing until ten-thirty. During this hour and a half the men just stand around, discussing egg prices, sales, tractors and any new calves, recently born. The women rake over the coals all the other women that are not there, while the children are having the time of their lives playing touch-tag and crows and cranes in the middle of the floor. Then comes the arrival of The Punkin Centre Corn Huskers who are to render the evening's music. This orchestra consists of two iiddlers, a pianist and a gen- tleman who plays guitar, mouth organ, and drums simultaneously, if you please! The next ten minutes are occupied by the tuning up of the fiddles and all eyes are glued on the musicians. Then a good swift polka brings the spellbound audience to its senses, and young and old commence to lim- ber up their joints and get into the swing of things. This number having been execu- ted, an old-timer friskily jumps to the stage, picks up the tin megaphone, and drawls into it, Fill up th' floor! A square dance fol- lows. THE TATLER The floor is filled in a minute with sets of old and young. During the prelude to the dance the veterans jig themselves into the mood, while the shy ones stand awkwardly, heads bent. Then the caller shouts, Alle- mande left, the corners all, words which draw a Whoopee from all present, and they're off. After the people have put themselves back together and caught a breath or two, they join the orchestra in a quieter two-step. This is followed by a schottische, and here it is that the old-timers shine. At about three o'clock it is decided that the dance had better come to a close. Dur- ing the course of the evening Mrs. Plough- handle has danced the heel off her new pair of paddy green spikes. Old Mr. Hogtrough, overexcited, has swallowed the juicy morsel of Copenhagen that he has been enjoying all evening. Mrs. Kettle has lost one of her children. Ah well, she has eleven others to keep her company. Nevertheless, everyone has had a Hcrackin' good time. In conclusion, if the time comes when you are most disheartened and are even con- sidering ending it all, find out if there is a country dance being held anywhere, attend it, and just see how HAPPY life CAN be! On second thought, maybe you had better not. Betty Grey, XIII. 0?,? Sunset Fantasy Streaking, fleeting clouds lie by Where as eastern lands do die, The blazing sun-god's rays Are filled through a daze Painting skies cerulean hue, Majestic purple, golden blue. Dancing columns of silver glaze of clouds in the maze Temples Floating in a silent harmony Of lustrous colour symphony. VVally Hoyle, IIA. 71

K- I W, . anguages LES ECOLES EN BELGIQUE Par Liliane Simons Grade X-B Comme dans presque toute l'Europe les ecoles de developees. la Belgique sont tres bien C'est au regret de beaucoup d'eleves que compulsive iusqu'au quatorze lyeeole est ans. Pour ajouter at leur douleur, le mini- stere d'education pense a prolonger l'obli- gatoire d'un aux. gatoire d'un an. On y trouve deux genres d'ecoles, liecole d'etat et les ecoles libres. Sous les ecoles libres on trouve des ecoles conduites par l'eglise catholique et les ecoles conduites par des particuliers. Les enfants vont at l'ecole de leur troisi- eine ans et y recoivent une education pre- parative pour la premiere degre. Cn appelle cette section de petits LC jafdlfl CICS C11- fants . C'est fi Page de six qu'on entre dans la premiere degre et que la vie scolaire commence. Comme la Belgique est un petit pays avec une population diverse on y trouve des langues differentes. Les deux langues dominantes sont le francais au Sud et le Hamand au Nord. Par consequent les deux langues sont compulsives dans toutes les ecoles. Les ecoles publiques apprennent presque les memes branches que les ecoles publiques du Canada. Les diiferences sont qu'ils apprennent le francais depuis le premiere degre. Les methodes ne sont pas si mod- ernes et leur opinion est qu'on donne trop de liberte aux enfants d'Amerique. Mal- heureusement les ecoliers canadiens et americains ne realisent pas cette liberte. Aussi on y a des branches qui durent une heure au lieu d'une demi-heure ce qui a Vavantage quion ne se sent pas comme si on venait de faire une marches de cinq milles. On a une demi-heure de recreation au matin mais nulle recreation dans l'apres-midi. 72 Apres l'ecole publique on peut aller a l'ecole moyenne dont les degres correspon- dent avec les premiers degres des High Schools d'ici. On y apprend. Le neer- landais, le francais, l'anglais et l'allemand, la geometrie, l'histoire, la geograpliie, l'algebre, le commerce, la musique, et ainsi de suite. On y donne beaucoup d'attention au development physical, on fait beaucoup de gymnastique et on nage une fois par semaine. Pour les faire plus strictes on a des ecoles pour filles et des ecoles pour garcons. On peut aussi aller a Vathene apres l'ecole publique, et les degres y correspon- dent avec celles des High Schools seule- ment, ils contiennent six degres au lieu de cinq. La misere avec les devoirs y est plus grande qu'1c1 et les professeurs font tout leur possible 51 tenir les enfants a la maison. Les premieres ecoles etaient fonclees par l'eglise catholique et c'est a elle aussi que la Belgique doit la fondation des deux premieres. universites celles de Louvain et de Bruxelles. C'est aussi a elle que la Belgi- que doit ses nombreux colleges. L'annee passee se deroulait un petit incident qui montre tres bien quel respect et quel amour les collegiens tiennent pour leur ville et l'esprit du Vieux bon temps qui brouille encore entre eux! C'et-ait entre le college d'Anvers et le college de Malines. Dans le quatorzieme siecle, Anvers et Malines se combattaient pour une poupee, appelee Son Seigneuru et qui etait la mas- cotte de la ville d'Anvers. Malines la lui avait arrachee et elle restait a Malines jusqu'a l'annee derniere quand quelques collegiens d'Anvers l'avaient enlevee du musee de Malines. Les collegiens anversois etaient si heureux qu'ils manquaient d'aller ia. l'ecole et il faisaient la tournee de la ville avec de THE TATLER
