Nov. 7 (Special) The Hallowe'en dance given by the local Elks lodge in aid of the Sunshine fund, was generously patronized by townspeople. The gross receipts from the event were donated to Sunshine, the Elks lodge paying all the incidental expenses.

This fact added greatly to the popularity of the event, besides aiding substantially the Sunshine fund. Another party was held on the same evening at the home of Mr. Floyd Derrick when the ladies of the' Highwood W.I. entertained their friends at a Hallowe'en frolic. Cards, dancing and fortune-telling were features of the evening.

Teacherages are important adjuncts or many rural schools and solve what is often a serious problem that of providing living accommodation for the teacher in a district where tne homes are usually none too large for the family. In many of the rural schools the attendance runs around forty to a room. Even in harvest time there were few empty seats in the schools visited, and idle moments were unknown to the teachers who are not only endeavoring to educate the children, but to make education attractive. Nancy Page Medicine Hat Residents Actively Engaged in Club Programmes (Special to the Herald) MEDICINE HAT, Nov. large number of visitors attended the home of Dr.

F. W. Uershaw. on Monday Hfternoon, to meet Miss Agnes MacPhail, who was in the city as the guest of the Canadian Club. Mrs.

Gershaw, hostess, assisted by Mrs. C. Western, representing Canon Western, president of the Canadian Club, and Mrs. Hector Ing received the visitors and Introduced them to tho guest of honor. Mrs.

R. C. Black ushered to the tea room, where tea was poured for the first hour by Mrs. J. M.

Gllmour and Mrs. G. W. Greene, followed by Mrs E. T.

Scragg and Mrs. J. R. Jordan. The tea table was charming with its appointments of silver and lace, together with yellow chrysanthemums and pink carnations, with candles to match.

Assistants in the tea room were: Mrs. Ashley. Mrs. Campbell and Miss I. Greene, Miss G.

McCombs, Miss S. Cawker and Miss K. Foley. Little Jean Flath made a charming door attendant. Miss MacPhail afterwards met members of the Canadian Club at dinner and addressed the high school students on Tuesday morning before leaving on the noon train for Calgary.

Three groups of C.G.I.T. held a very successful Hallowe'en party in the basement of St. Barnabas church on Saturday afternoon. Decorations In yellow and black with tiny yellow and bronze 'mums were very effective on the tea-tables, which were in charge of Margaret Mills. A stall of home cooking, under the direction of Helen Spencer, and a candy stall with Joan Cleaves dispensing its wares were among the attractions.

A novelty booth for which Dorothy Wharton had been responsible, but who, unfortunately, was unable to be present owing to serious illness, was taken by Helen Hill, the whole showing the great interest taken in C.G.I.T. work bv these groups. Two new leaders were appointed this year. Miss L. McMurdy in charge of the intermediate group, and Miss Catherine Perrin the juniors.

Miss Mary Wharton, the senior leader, having been connected with the work for several years. St. John's Ladies' Aid held its annual supper on Saturday evening In the church rooms where a greater number than ever before were catered to by the members of tho aid. More than 300 guests sat down to the splendid repast, which, though taxing the efforts of the hostesses to the utmost, gave them a pleasurable feeling of the success of their efforts. W.I.

Visitors to these schools are im pressed by the earnestness, or tne hnvs and ffirls. though it may be that thev are rather overawed by the invasion of outsiders and hiding their embarrassment by giving unnaturally close attention to their lessons. Such things have oeen known to happen in schools since the beginning of time. A peep into exercise books and a study of the registers, however, bears out the first impression to a large degree.

True, there are some pupils who are behind their grades; pupils whose eyes dance with a mischievous light rather than glow with a keen desire for knowledge; pupils who are not strong on spelling and others whose penmanship is far from perfect; but in the main they are a hard working, studious lot. making the most of the educational facilities provided for them. Some of the faces bear the stamp of weariness that tells of early rising and manv chores done before school and waiting to be done after; some suggest the need of more play to round out young lives. Some of the young students know what they are going to be when they finish their schooling and their faces show it; others know what they want to be; still others are drifting. These conditions apply to the descendants of all the nations.

In some cases financial conditions in the homes account for the wistful "I should like to be" or the happy-go-lucky "I don't know" with which a boy or girl answers the query "What are you going to do when you finish school?" One thing which particularly impressed the judges of the community progress competition sponsored by the Canadian National Railways was the fact that among the boys and girls who had a definite goal in mind, comparatively few in the schools visited planned to remain on the farm.

Later she met members of the Canadian club at dinner and addressed a meeting of high school students before proceeding on her western tour. As a prominent member of the Federal hou.a, Miss MacPhail is well known in Canada. this time being the C.G.I.T.

group from the Mountview Home. All manner of games and contests were enjoyed, and then the Bucannettes put on a little skit, called "Sewing for the Heathen." The guests reciprocated with a minuet, performed by four of their number. The evening closed with a most satisfying dinner, for which partners were chosen. Knox United also reports a Hallowe'en party from their church, when the Golden Key group entertained a junior group at a masquerade party, at which all sorts of games were played and fortunes told, to be follcwed by refreshments. 'Mid pumpkins and witches and other such Hallowe'en arrangements, the Pro-Cathedral C.G.-i'tes held a very enjoyable Hallowe'en party.

The girls, in masquerade costume assembled in the dark club room. A ghost welcomed each guest with a ghostly shake of the hand by the light of a dim lantern. From there the girls went upstairs to enjoy games under the leadership of Helen Whistlecroft. Afterwards, the ever-popular "eats" were served, and each girl was given a Hallowe'en serviette containing sandwiches, cookies, and lollipop. Leona Bailey, in a gypsy costume took the prize for the most original costume.

The. "Barneys" of St. Earnahas followed the example of these other groups in having a good time at their Hallowe'en party on October 23. where they played many and varied games. The evening closed with refreshments after the girls had had their fortunes told.

"All Nations" Tea The Live Wires group from Crescent Heights United are holding an All Nations tea in their church on November 14, from 3 until 6 p.m. There will be an interesting programme and cup reading during the afternoon. They are working to make this just a little bit different from the are 9 Edited by MADELINE AUSTIN HALLOWE'EN FESTIVITIES Ghosts have stalked, black cats have prowled, and bats i have flapped blindly across, the black October sky. One more Hallowe'en night of fun and frolic has come and gone. But it did not come empty-handed, for All Saints' Eve brought with it many gaieties and good times.

The first of these to be called to cur notice was that of the irst Baptist C.G.-ites, who, in costumes of every description, commenced their evening with a grand march. in which ghosts, clowns, gypsies and bold Spaniards took part. A dainty fairy and a black cat were selected as the winners. The "fireflies" group had charge of the games and kept everyone on their tiptoes wondering what was coming next. Betty Hayden, Audrey Maclean, Nora Pennel and Christine Moir were the lucky girls who carried off the prizes.

Then came a most important part of the evening, the refreshments, served in a room decorated with orange and black streamers, pumpkins, cats and witches, by the Ail-Round Squares group. The members of the Tru-se-re-lo group, wearing orange and black aprons and caps, startled the assembled guests by putting before them the most unusual menu: Hobgoblin delight. Shivering ghost salad. Witches' brew. Broomsticks Cat's meow.

Skeleton's feast. Witches' tears. Goblin balls. Only two dishes could be ordered at once, and great were the deliberations on what would be chosen. Greater still were the shocks received when persons ordering such choice items as skeleton's feast and cat's meow were presented with everyday ham sandwiches and whipped cream.

The evening's entertainment ended with a stunt in which ferocious cats and a very courageous dog shared the honors with the human members of the cast. The actors, animals included, were members of the O.V.R. group. The whole party was planned by the girls themselves, and so each one felt that she had a share in its success. We next heard of a rollicking good time had at a party given by the Be Square group of Hillhurst United.

These girls, who brought along their mothers and fathers to share their fun, were first told a "witch story," a sad tale of a certain John Smith who came to a most horrible end. To fully illustrate the point of the story, the guests were taken to the Witches' Cavern, whoso gloomy interior were the dissembled parts of the ill-fated John Smith. Each guest had the eerie pleasure (or displeasure as the case might be) of observing these under the guidance of a spooky being, draped in white. Then came entertainment in the shape of Hallowe'en games and contests, and a recitation by Margaret Bridger. The refreshments were a most satisfactory climax to an altogether successful evening.

The Bucannettes of this same church tell also of a party held Friday evening. They, too. shared their good time, the participants you I Vrrf iTK I nVm So usual run of afternoon teas, anil prophesy that all who attend will enjoy themselves. They extend a cordial invitation to all other C.G.-ites to attend. Staff Reception At O.S.A.

Happy Event of Season OLDS, Nov. 7. tSpeciali The staff reception of the Olds School of Agriculture was a pleasant affair, and marked the opening of the winter's social functions in connection with this institution. The hall was appropriately decorate! in keeping with the Hallowe'en season with softly shaded lights, window curtains showing silhouettes of cats, owls and bats, while the orchestra platform was a gaily latticed bower, below which a realistic oki witch was to be seen riding across a big orange moon. Balloons of ail colors were suspended from the ceiling giving the hall a fairylike appearance.

The guests were received by Principal and Mrs. James Murray. Miss L. Rndgeia and Mr. E.

V. Phillips. Two short skits by staff members were uproariously received, the first "Cinderella, up to Date" was enacted bv the following: Mrs. G. R.

Mrs. R. E. Stewart, of Calgary, who is associate matron of the Olds lodpe. was also present.

Mrs. Hacking and Miss Elsie Stock were the for the evening. Following the programme, at which Mrs. Cullins spoke, a sumptuous banquet was served, the tables being centred with chrysanthemums. Mr.

So they were ready to start just so soon as they had the pattern for the new flower.

One quotation from the address of Rev. Dobson was particularly interesting: "Temperance Does Not Mean Prohibition. It Means Self-control; but science teaches that self-control leaves with the first taste of liquor, so that the only way to get self-control is to prohibit the sale of liquor." The election of officers and superintendents for the year resulted as follows: President, Mrs. F. Gaetz; vice-president.

After the pattern has been traced on cardboard cut it out and lay material. In cutting material be sure to allow one-quarter inch on fill sides for turning edges under. After these are turned, basted and pressed, applique the pieces with fine slanting invisible hemming stitches. Then with rather hoi.vy embroidery cotton make the prickers. At any time, now, the birda may be appliqued, if they have not already been put in.

He also pointed out an advantage which rural schools have over urban schools, in that they have a chance to link up the study of agriculture with a practical application of the knowledge they acquire from season to season. Crop rotation for instance, becomes a live thing to students when they see the system recommended in the text books put inr-i effect- In their own fields. Listenine to Dr. Wallace. I had the feeling that out of this com munity progress competition, tnere mirrht" come even greater things than the sponsors looked for.

fommimitv interest in education would be eiven new impetus, of corn-set but the wider understand ing of conditions acquired by those whose chief concern is education might in the course of time, result in a readjustment of the curriculum which, in Dr. Wallace's words, would give to the rural high school student who does not plan to go to university, something which would be of special interest to him, and would helo him in his chosen pro fession. "Too much high school edu cation is, as it were, for university or Normal school." he said. Education in the rural schools of Alberta seems largely to have been founded with a struggle and carried on at times -with a struggle, but the ideal behind the formation of the school districts, the building of ochnnls and financing of educa tion eenerallv. has sustained the nioneers in their efforts.

"Our com munitv had the idea that the church and school should form the cornerstone of the structure whicn thev were to build. said one pioneer of Norwegian descent in outlining the history of his district. In the Ukrainian settlements the sentiment was perhaps uinereni ITnlike the Scandinavians, the Uk rainians in their home land were largely an illiterate people. In his book "Ukraine." published in 1910. Professor Stephen Rudnitsky, of the University of Lemberg, states that "the number or uKramu T'Wrsine who know how to read averages approximately 195 to the thousand." This was not.

aue to indifference on the part of the Uk rainians, but to circumstances over which they had no control. Now in the new country where they are making their home they are going to see that their children have the opportunity denied them. Schools were opened in the early history of settlements, and are kept open in spite of financial depressions. "We shall keet our schools open at all costs." says the reeve of one muni cipality largely populated oy Ukrainians, and this appears to be the general sentiment. Take Study Seriously Scanning the faces of the pupils in these schools one has the idea that they are not permitted to think lightly or the advantages tneir fathers and mothers have provided for them at the price of hard toil.

Little need for truant officers in those districts. In many rural districts largely populated by non-British born people, two roomed schools provide training up to and including grade eleven. Even in some one room schools, the teacher is taking pupils through grades nine and ten. The two roomed schools are usually staffed by two women or two men teachers.
