Attic present Day and those of the pioneers in the ear y eighties came from last Iii to subdue to Ahtl service civilization the great Lone land i the matter of building is most marked. The Mer Rhenius even of the Metropolis of the West. Winni Peg carried on businesses in a Tores that were typical of Frontier towns. The goods were shown on shelves made of rough lumber in place of the splendidly equipped and mechanically perfect showcases now in Vogue. The primitive Box stove had not then been superseded by steam heating plants. Plate Glass fronts Cash carriers elevators and similar modern appliances were conspicuous by their absence in establishments. Electric Light not yet been introduced though its instalment was being discussed. In the meantime Coal Oil was the Maple Illuminant. When these conditions prevailed in the i Ity. Those usually obtaining in country stores can be imagined. In the majority of cases these buildings were of log. The upper floor serving for the residence of the merchant. The specialization of stores was unknown each constituted an Emporium where everything from dress goods to tobacco was on Sale. The Fercl set was frequently implement lumber dealer postmaster and livery stable keeper. He Trade horses or buy cattle in the m the Vals of Sel King boots or Sustar. And would take butter or cordwood a n payment. Often he was Trie Only buyer for the District. And sometimes he added banking to the other departments of his business. Rough lumber or Loc store shared with the on Sun Davs did duty As a Honor of being the social club of the neigh boyhood. It was. Indeed in tin.-, expect the More popular because of its Besiie less exclusive. Seated on he Nail kegs that lined the front of the rough counter the local poof i would Settle the affairs of the nation while expect rating Brown streams of tobacco juice into Sandbox on which sat the huge time there Are in the country towns of the West Many stores that would be in ornament to the main business streets of any City. They Are fitted with every convenience for handling business with precision and despatch and the stocks carried both in variety and Quality will Bear comparison with any in the oldest settlements. A corresponding revolution has been effected in the agricultural buildings of the Northwest the lumber Shack or log House sometimes the Sod shanty that Twenty years ago did duty As a. Farm residence have been for the past decade steadily Dis appearing and in their Stead have risen commodious and often ally Beautiful Homes with every mod Ern Oniest o convenience Arney stand in Well kept grounds overlooking wide and Shady Bluffs their wide verandahs offering pleasant Shade in summer. Xor at hand can often be seen the original dwelling now used As a granary or Hen House. The con Between the two buildings is indicative of the improvement in the financial condition of the owner. In Tho farm Yard in the eighties the stable was either of log or Sod the often a Hole in the ground. Granaries were very Primi Tive affairs designed Only for Utility and cheapness. To Day the policy of the work of the farm As largely As possible in one building is being generally followed by the in t uprising Farmers of the West and barns have been built on the land where formerly stood the Tumble Down stables and outhouses. Up .a.-Idld. tidings often have Stone foundations and Are fitted with every labor saving contrivance known to modern agriculture. In Tho Roomy granary above stored not. Only the products of the Field but the Winter s store of feed for the Stock. The Wii ids Are now harnessed a assist in the of the , and the Light but strongly braced steel Tow ers stip Porti no the Mills can be seen dotting the countrywide in every direction. These Mills also do much other work heretofore dare by As chopping Gristing cutting firewood Etc. In countless other ways Prosper ily that has attended agricultural Effort in the Northwest has in the lightening and amelioration of the work of the farm which to Day is being prosecuted under conditions that amount to a revolution. Wrzek compared with those prevailing in. The Early Days of settlement in the Northwest. It is state with anything even approximating accuracy Tho amount which even during the last season has been expended in the Psi on building improvements. Only in Winnipeg Are anything like reliable returns made is in round figures the amount spent in building in the City during the season of 1d02. The Brief articles from free press correspondents throughout the Northwest found elsewhere in this Issue contain As nearly As possible the amounts expended for building purpose in their respective districts. From these it will be seen that a great building Boom has this year swept Over the West and that the prospects Are certain for even increased activity in this direction the Day after.

In the seventies Manitoba in a very medieval condition there were relatively a great Many people with Little. Education and a few we i educated men an Ideal Condi Tion for the denominations to get control of the situation and they did it effectively. A school system was establish cd which was largely Domin ated by the churches sectarian col Leges were established and also a University which while held out to be. A provincial University was really an inter denominational in disguise. The sectarian school sys j Tern has been nationalized. The Sec tarian colleges Are the property if the several denominations which control them and i wish to make it Clea that i am not in any Way criticising these in so far As they Are sectarian colleges. These colleges As such Are responsible to their own j constituents and not to the Public generally. Nor do 1 find any fault with the colleges in striving to retain control of the University. So Long As the Public allow them to do so it would be absurd to suppose that the colleges would willingly relinquish such a valuable franchise As the control of the University. The Public owes much to the colleges for the i opportunities they have Given to Young men to receive a College train ing but this debt should be paid in some other Way than by allowing them to retain a. Control of the University. Which is inimical to the educational interests of the people. The nationalization of the univer sity is not a new question. In the years 18s and 1sss there was much Public discussion in the press and otherwise concerning University affairs which was kept alive by timely editorial articles in the free press from the pen of or. F. C. Wade then in the editorial staff. There was Little said in defence of the univer sity at the time Little could be said r the work for the pass degree was 1 merely nominal. Was Al most absent from that course. The registrar of the University declared latin is the language of the univer sity. However the students Are free to answer at the examinations in French or it was evident even to the colleges that something had to be done and a Little Progress was made seven representatives of the graduates of the University were put on the Council and they were quite Independent for a time and did excellent work in get Ting some improvements made in the examinations but it was not Long till a majority of them hell Back into be ing largely representatives of the denominational from which they graduated. Nothing much came of the movement As far As the University was concerned but from the discussions in regard to it arose the Public school agitation which resulted in the abolition of sectarian schools and the establishment it National Public schools. The univer sity would have been the first institution nationalised but it would have jeopardised the whole movement to touch the University at that time. It was a preserve of the Heads of the denominations and if any proposal had been made to Reform the univer sity Ort the same lines As the Public schools there would have been Many influences against the school move ment which were in favor of it. Besides this the Grant of the University had not been patented and the denominations might have seriously interfered with the turning Over i of this Grant. Now however the school question has disappeared from the Arena of Politico the lands of the University been patented and it is a. Matter of waiting till the people get ready to nationalize the University. It be a very pimple matter to Amend the University act so As to give the people Twenty of the representatives of the denominational colleges on the University Council. These Twenty being responsible to the people would do the rest. In 1s94 i asked one of the strongest members of the legislature his Opin Ion of the provincial Grant to the University. His reply it is so much blackmail levied by. The denominations on the his language was Strong but it. Left Little to be said on the subject and most important it expressed Public opinion on the question. It is hardly within the Bounds of reason that the people of Manitoba will much longer allow the denominations to play horse with them in the matter of the University and i think the occasion of the University Council making such an absurd deliverance As they have in regard to Brandon col lege affords a Good Opportunity to Cal attention to the matter. I have not seen anything in connection with the University since 1ss7 that really pleased me As much As the report of the committee of the univer sity Council recently published in the free press. It pleased me because it promises to Lead to improvement. The 1ss7 incident is Worth relating. There had been a Good Deal of discussion in the papers As above stated and or. Bryce undertook to deliver an address the matters in Issue at. I think the opening meeting or Manitoba College literary society. In this address he Tild a Story in which inadvertently i suppose he compared himself and other members of the University coun cil to ror cd fact to bulls. It took amazingly and really did More to Call Public attention to the univer sity than All the sober discussion which took place. Or. Bryce s break might Well be termed a. Bull the pres ent deliverance the Council will ind to be a White . The substance of tiie matter is that Brandon has a College in which students Are prepared for certain University examinations and they have to go to Winnipeg to be examined at considerable expense the examiners being largely the professors of the Winnipeg and St. Boni face colleges. The people of Brandon ask that the examinations be held at Brandon. In reply to this request which on the of it would appear a very reasonable one. The University Council has adopted a report which i will ask leave to refer to in a further letter. A. Mcleod. Morden dec. 25. The jews and Christmas to Tho editor if the free press. The most characteristic feature of the Chrip inns Celebration in this City is the Active part Siken in it by the jews who spent Large sums on in stems presents. This is explained on the ground of the Holiday Havins come to be regarded by most of the jews As a purely civil festival in which they participate As something like a Token of Solidarity and neighbourly feel ing for their Christian fellow citizens. A jew Cerebra Tiaja Christmas May sound like a contradiction of terms in deed in the old Jerries of Kropo. Similar attitude on tiie part of our Points of Contact Between the two every Day. To be sure we have absolutely nothing to do with the religions aspect of the hold ii. To us it is Only a time when our Christian neighbors Are having a Good time. My exc hanging expressions of Good foaling and to that extent we join them in the Celebration of Tho Day. In Point of fact it was our Christian neighbors who have taught us to regard Christmas As a sort of National rather than n religious Holiday. In sending out their Christmas presents they usually in clude their jewish friends in the list i e naturally reciprocate the attention thus shown to us. The upshot being a Well established custom of exchanging gifts with our Christian friends on the Day in question. The next step was for us to extend it to our own environment Many of us sending Christmas presents to jew and Christian alike. Our children arc brought up in the Public schools together with the children of Christian citizens. There is no differ ence in. The treatment they receive. They speak the same language Thev study under the teacher they play to a Ether they live childish lives to Gether. Of course our boys and girls also learn at. The Edward school their hebrew and know that they Are lews while tiie others Are christians but this does not stand in the Way of their grow ing up with the same tastes inclinations and views on things temporal As their classmates of the Christian Faith. I am a member of a synagogue Congre gation and observe All our holidays As strictly As practicable. Still when my Hoy asked me for a Christmas present i could t refrain from promising him. I want him to feel just As other boys do. He gets his firecrackers on the 24th of my. And flags on Dominion Day. And t might As Well give him his Christmas present. Of course i never omit to re mind him of the fact that he is a. Jew. And that he has no thug to do with the religious meaning of the festival. Incognito w. Winnipeg. Dec. K. A Christmas eve wedding.
