New Courses in History For The Higli School Very many of our readers will be interested in the new courses in Can- adian and British history and Latin, announced by the Ontario Department of ICducation this week. Hereafter British History will be a subject of the Lower School course and of the Lower School examination. Candidates who hold certificates " of K binding in Lower School Canadian History, obtained before 1929, will be e::empt from the Lower School exam- ination in British History. In the i'.".se of the Middle School, Canadian History will be a subiect for the Nor- mal entrance and the junior matricul- ation examination. Candidates, how- ever, who hold certificates of Middle Sc4)ool staniiiiiK in British History, obtained before 192i», will be exempt from the Middle School c«irs?s wherel:y Music may he sub.^tituted for .Ancient History. Heretofore Latin has been an alternative for English Crammar in the case of the Lower .School examination. Ilenrcforth can- didates wlu) desire to substitute Latin for Engrii 'h Grammar will be required to pass the two papers in Latin of the Middle or Upper School examin- ation. The new cour.scs of study come into effect immediately. Respect the Circus The smallest boy thinks of the cir- cus as a place of vonders and joyoua ef forties] adventur.>3. The old time moralist thinks of it as a sink of in- iquity. Both are wrong. The circus ii the home of th.> hardest of work and of more than Puritanical strict- ness of life. Thii last point needs little support for the thinking person. No "rounder", no ;ierson addicted to any forrfl of dissip: tion, can keep the nervouj and muscular steadiness and l>ower necessary to circus feats. No Woman who gotj joy-riding or cabar- eting when che ought to be asleep, can train leo; ards the next day, and I the man who t.-ies to put a sulky lion through his r wei after "making a niyht of it", is reasonably certain to Qualify for the coroner. Respect the Circus. Though guided by. a salesmanship almost uncanny, it is based upuon liard work, high courage, clean living : nd. 3ound temper. If it supplies an element of romance and glamour in otherwise drab lives, all the better. There are many worse ambitions for a small boy than the desire to be a bareback rider. Respect the Circus.
