Fred did not know, so the teacher told him to find out and tell her next day. That nigh: Fred's mother explained to him that his daddy was a telegrapher. Next day Fred told his teacher his daddy was some kind of "grafter." He could i't remernter th whole word COR R ESPON DE%i'C E Editor IVest Van News- t~ I understand that the idea cf making an addition to the Paul- ine Johnson school is being ent- ertained. If the idea is still in its preliminary stage, I shnulc& like to suggest that it should in- clude the auditorium ivhich has always been a part of the final scheme. The ordinary school class-room is a good place fnr small meetings add ressecl by speakers with no particular strength of voice. It is too small, hoivever, for general school announcements or for favell-attended meetings of a Par- ent-Teacher Association; and its desks are not always comfort- able for adults, There is also the rather serious objection that the books and papers of the pupils in the shelves under the desks are apt to get upset; and anyone who can carry his mind back to his own school days can recall cases of boys getting into trouble from circumstances which ivere no fault of theirs, a- rising out of this very case. There is another aspect of the question. Now that singing has been made a matter of special provision by the trustees, it is very desirable to have a room iri any large school in which the pupils of several rooms can be assembled for musical drill, es- pecially in the more advanced stages. I am not one of those who believe in musical competi- tions; but there is a great dif- ference between providing fac- ilities for training teams of sing- ers and providing the means for taking full advantage of com- munity singing in the schools as a hygienic and aesthetic exercise of substantial value. The question of what the people can be persuaded to vote for must inevitably govern the actions of the trustees in the matter; but it should not be im- possible to ivork up public sup- port in advance for the complet- ed school if ive stick to discus- sion on practical lines and leave rhetoric out of account. Yours truly, J. PORTER. The Q est Van Neivs Dear Sirs:--We appreciate the AVest Van News very much. The articles on Gardens and Garden- ing by ~Iina G. Hutt, we find very helpful. After reading the results of the Horticultural Fxhibition, we feel sure that the soil here in West l ancouver must be especi- ally good. EVe ar newcomers, so this is our first season of digging up stones. But one thing we feel quite prourl of is our tomatoes. It was quite interesting to us to read of the growth of one vine belonging to IIr. ~fcNair, 147 tomatoes. Being quite interest- ed in this, we counted one of our vines, and found to our surprise no less than 225 tomatoes. Thinking this might be inter- esting to you, also ivanting to tell you, that we feel greatly en- couraged to k ep digging aivay at the stones. Thanking you for all the help the IVest Van Neivs contains. AIRS. 4U. TINNEY. Only Temporary "Hullo, William, old bean, &vhat are you doing at the sea- side all alone? I thought your ivedding was coming oà this week." "Yes, so it was, but it's been postponed for a bit." "I say, I am sorry. Hope the little gir] isn't ill or anything." "Oh, no.

Dear Editor West Van News, IVe read with great pleasure about the many happy growers of tomatoes on page 3 of your paper last iveek and would sug- gest that hfr. 3ilcNair and the others would tell us their biggest counting on one single plant. If you ivill come to ilfr. Bulk- leys'arden we ivill show you 160 on one plant. Congratulations to you Mr. ihfcNair, we have others well laden too, so we think it must have been an exceptional year for them. Thanking you Mr. Editor, your truly, G. BULKLEY. Putting the horse before the cart has now been changed to "quart before the hearse" by ob- liging bootleggers. "Papa, the preacher was here to lunch today." "You don't say so!" "Yep, and he swore about mamma's cooking the same as you do, only hc bowed his head and held his hands over his eyes." A keen-eyed mountaineer led his overgrown son into a country school- house.
