There is far

There is no business, no profession, no kind o f industrial life to-day that is not pining for people who Iiavc brains and know how to use them.

APPEAL TO PUBLIC.
no use having a brain active in its power of Hiiuking unless you have a background onahliug you to think straight. Boy.s would dislike geography, or liistory, or
cla.ssics less than they do i f they would realize that struggling along wfth these
subjects does ^ give them some sort of acquaintance with tlio world in which they aro going to live their lives, without which they are not going Iq bo very much uso to thcinsolvcs or to their generatioii.

One was hoad- inastor of a big public school, another was a higlily-plaeod rmliaii civil servant; a third was a Harley-streefc doctor with a growing reputation; I was :v hishoi> and tlio fifth ivas a brewer’s traveller.

Of all tlio voluntary organizations the St. Jolui Ambulance Brigade was by no means the least. Dr. Cooper expressed a wish to ompliasizo the importance to Clithoroe of the ivork performo<l by tho men ami women wlio had organised that bazaar. They were specially trained in first aid and home nursing, and were ready at any time to sacrifico their own pleasure in^ order to be of assistance to others. AVhat greater sacrifice could ,'\iiyono desire? The public would recogniso that the work of such^ a voluntary organisation could not he carried on without money.
