Everyâ€" one cannot do this, but one in a district might do it, a township or two at a time and then the branches might diVide up the concessions and side lines and other roadway and each work at its own section. best I forget let me here mention the value of the little local publications that exist in many places and are all too quickly lost sight of. We have mentioned as a mat- ter of course the somewhat pro- saic concessions and side lines but the country is crossed and recrossed by roads that existed before the said concessions and they have names to conjure with. Where are these roads? How were they named? I know of just a few. There is one running from Lake Ontario to Lake Huron. In Peel County it used to be called the Centre Road (Why?), further north. it was known as Hurontario St., near the end it is Collingwood's main street, and now it is just Highway No. 10. There is the Quaker road near St. Catharines; Nova Scotia St., in Elgin County and Talbot St. Farther west Tinkers Line. Within the past month a \V.I. member from Kent County wrote me “Have you the history of the Longwood Road"? Never had I even heard of it, but it was in her county, not mine. We have Dundos St., older even than Yonge St. Somewhere in the northern section of Victoria and Ontario counties and probably on through Simcoc County to Or-il- lia there appears to have been a stage road, and there was a little book written about it called “Nancy McFay of the Monk Road". Nancy kept a tavern and appears to have been quite a character. (Has anyone ever heard of it?) In the report that came in from West York mention was made of the First Plank Road in Van bun, but they didn’t send in t 12 paper, and I am sure there is romance in every mile. Tollgates, stages and what notl Current events as connected with the work of this committee we take to mean especially those local happenings which will stand the test of time and be of value, ten, fifty or even one hundred years from now. Some of them may seem rather trivial. and judgment of course must be exercised, but it is better to err on the saving side. Make records of present day activities and methods.

Every child from infancy is taught Ollclll‘ once, or at lellst, might to be. As bc or she grow< up in boy. hood or girlhood [his is morn necessary and Wu flnll tlllll. they understand Ihnt they nbcy llrllt, their parents, then in chnul tlu- tellcbel', nnll lnlcr on, law l’ln(l order.

It is nuctllwury then for every parent in insist on obclliencv not after llwh' but at once. l’l'Ol’llplnflRH sum-thing which shnuld he in- stilled in a child's; minll nblllg with obodirncc. Many ml n]:- pal-tunily is lost by nnl. being prompt. Life l. like u gumv, ’l‘berc llrc rub-ll which must bl: carried out and (‘lll'll'll not just in the letter, or the the game is lost and Snmom- also will take it up and the game is lllCer. Many a beautiful child that mi 'ht hr.- n comfort and Ill-light, hot at home anvl abroad, is n torman and u nuiuul-lcl: because he is not taught from bxlbylloml obedience at once. How often we hear “Johnnie put that down?" but he doesn't. “lllil you hear me, Johnnie, put that down at once," but he is not through examining it. "If I have to speak again, Johnnie, it will be more than spanking. Do you hear me?" Johnnie is through with it and puts it down in his own time. What a pity! It costs solittle effort when they are young and tender to be kind- ly firm and to expect them to obey at once. It costs so much sorrow and mortification to ne- glect lessons in obedience. Baby’s tempers are so cute, and so soon over. Yes, when he has gained his point and conquered. Parents remove that pebble at once. Give yourself and child a second chance. Be firm and you will find that in after years NO rock will be rolled back against your own heart, as his conduct proves he knows the law of obedience. We want men and women in this great Domin- ion who have learned the lesson of obedience. The srcond thing every child must learn is sclf»control. Was it not Alexander who said. “He who controls himself is greater than be who takes a nation.” If we can teach boys and girls selfâ€"control, we have taught them one of life's greatest les- sons. If they learn to contml thclllsolws, they (‘flll control others, and in so doing huvc made life n surc s. Controlling ourselves menus controlling our passion, actions, spccl‘h, works llnrl dl‘sl us. Lack uf self-conâ€" trol is the cause of murder, rob- lwr etc. That is: not (ho cln‘s of clliZl-ns we want, but citizens Inllblllll ll rnulltry ll) be proud of, mnlrullinv uursvlvcs, our country llllll llcn we will be a country lonkl-d up u. by ntllurs. Th.- lllil'll principle is svlf-l'râ€" liallrl‘. l‘illk‘ll child learns \‘l‘l'y soon that it can walk nblnc, and how delightml it is. lt relies on its own power to take it along from place to place. How often we see parents doingi evorythin for the child an after awhile the child comes to depend upon others for his in- formation nnd his power. Por- cnts wait upon their children, instead of the children waiting on them. In school the children um loft tn tllcir own rostlurcl‘i lululy limos uml tlu-y find out knmvloxlgu fur lllt‘llhl‘lw"?
