Already people are being invited to spend the festive season with neighbors and friends and doubtless most of those having no homes will bq guests of others who have. All that is well. After all is done, there an always some who through unfortunate circumstance iare pot able to qualify for places in a greatlriariy homes. ' They do not belong. These are the men and women whom the Salvation Army takes care of and provides a good home-cooked dinner for Christmas Day. The Army aims to see that nothing is lacking and that the less fortunate are made as happy as human effort can make them. That is the work in which they ask the citizens of Prince Rupert to take part. UNDERTAKING OUR DUTIES Prince Rupert people hav cause to be gratified that someone is doing work in ;th;e city which otherwise might be neglected. The city neglected to provide playgrounds for the children, so the Gyro. Club came to the rescue, organized a campaign and giive' the people here an opportunity to repair the neglect iSo it is with the Salvation Army. At Christmas time, there are always a few people neglected when it comes to-'the Christmas dinner. The Salvation Army is irt- a position to act on behalf pf the citizens in providing for those and also to send hampers to families where lt'is better that they form their own Christmas circle. To give those wishing to do so an opportunity to help in this work a subscription list "has beer, opened and the names of donors will be published, unless, as is sometimes asked, a nom de plume be published instead of the name of the donor. The list i&now'open and money or goods may be sent to TheDaily News'office or to the Salvation Army headquarters. , It may be mentioned here that the money sub&ribed will not be used in the general work of the Army, but simply for the Christmas dinner and hampers. UNITED STATES POLICY The policy of President Coolidge in urging the building of more big cruisers should not be interpreted as being a dare to Great Britain. There has been no such intimation given. The United States has to defend its western as well as its eastern coast and the latest deevlopments in China will make it even more important that a police navy be maintained which Will make it possible to keep order among Oriental peoples. , Also it may be mentioned that as the United States has assumed a benevolent protectorate over all other American countries, practically pledging itself to defend them against aggression, it becomes necessary for that country to have a big navy. The. failure of Canada to provide any defence makes it important for the States to provide more. WARNING OF BANK The head of the Bank of Montreal has issued a 'warning to the people of Canada against the speculation which is going on and which is likely to lead to disaster. It is particularly at New York that the craze is now evident, but its ramifications extend to almost every part of Canada. Stock exchange gambling is much too prevalent for the good of the nation. Should a crisis be precipitated it would tend to paralyze legitimate business. Cold Weather Is Due ARE YOU PREPARED?

S. Wilson presiding. Discussion regarding the recent innouncemtnt fyom the minister f education in connection with he suggested plan for saving expense in the cost of books supplied ,y the department as free textbooks took place. There were many points brought up la the discussion touching on the benefits to be derived by children and .heir parents by the initiation of ;uch a system. There were many erious objections as to its feasibility and the benefits were probably of less value than would appear on first examination. The mater of weekly or other periodical assignments of work to pupils in schools was productive of active discussion. Some teachers had felt that it worked out satisfactorily, inasmuch m it enabled the brighter pupils to get more .and varied work done and at.the same time was an incentive to the less intelligent ones. The difficulties of it as applied to different subjects were evident, but its value was recognized. In the teaching of spelling, composition and history there were problems peculiar to each subject and these were discussed with suggestions as to how some of the difficulties fht be solved.
