Supplement to THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Decern I Teaching Canadian Geography in U. S. The ai«mh«rs of a. Turonto family are derivinfi much amusemeoC these days from the anecdotes of a tweiire-year-old niece who baa returned to Canada after spenJ- iaK » year «ith relatives in the Southern States. While there she attended schoul. but inntrad of being inoculated with «prea<i-ea({leiam, she is to day a most ardenr Imperia'ist, largely because of the cuuitank friction in which â- he «M invoWed with her teacher* and frltow-pupila owing to their misconcep- tions of Canada and Canadians. She says, "the chapter abeut Canad, ill their Geography starts off by sayinji: 'Canada is somtthing like the United States, but much smaller.' I knew that wasn't right, but I couldn't make them believe it." Another bone of contention wa« the iMttle of Lundy's Lane. The Southern teacher not only informed the class that ^he American soldiers won the battle, but in pronouncing "Lmidy" she gave the "u" the same sound as in ''lunar." "I told her that I bad seon the battle- field, and that they called it 'Lundy' " a<i8erta the little miss, '-butahe only taid to me, 'Lillyun, you must be dreaming.' " "And the children alwuys asked rao foolish questiona," she reports. "Just a couple of days after I was introduced to one girl, .she said to me; 'Lillyun, do yuu have to ait down and stand up in your house whenever your King tells you to?' I just asked her if she had to do the same when the President told her to. "Another girl said to me: Lillyun' â€" they called me Lillyun â€" 'did you ever ride on an iceberg in Canadu?'
