WINNIPEG CHICAGD OF THE NORTHWEST b Losding Camadian City of That Territory ‘Washington, D. C., September 11, —“Winnipeg, Canada, which will be the beneticiary of a bumper wheat crop this year, is -a magic city of Manitoba which has had a rapid rise similar to many of our western cities,” says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic soclety. “Winnipeg is the distributing point for immigrants to the great plains, and is the largest wheat market in the British empire. Her population, falling little short of 200,000, is an outcome of sixty years growth. Resembles U. 8. Cities “The thriving captial of Manitoba Province is known as the most American city across the Canadian line. It has prospered because of a naturally advantageous situation as & meeting ground betyveen the wheat and cattle country of the ‘west and the older settled provinces of the east. The city lies some sixty miles from the boundary where the long reaches of the Assiniborne join the waters of the Red river. “Winnipeg's history began as Fort Gary back in the fur trading days of the Hudson’s Bay company when the fort was one of the last outposts of civilization toward the prairiea. A fiercely independent population of half breeds or Metis greww up around the trading station. With the present Winnipeg as a center and Louis Riel as a leadcr they staged the famous Red river the Dominion government. In 1870 this uprising was crushed by Colo- nel Wolseley and his famous regi- ment. A way was thus paved for clvilization and the Canadian Pa- cific Railroad. The latter's yards at Winnipeg are now_said to be among the largest in the world. “Immigrants from almost every known country pour daily into the great train shed of this transconti- mental railway. They spend some time in Winnipeg as a sort of head- quarters and then spread out ove the plains. Ten journals in the Ice- landic tongue alone are published in and about Winnipeg. There are Mennonite and Doukhobor settle- ments in Mantioba with all the quaintness of ancient Russia. De- mands for settlers on the frontier and for laborers on the great wheat ranches of the older valleys seem inexhaustible. | “The city of Winrfipeg itself, built upon the level prairie, Is noted more for efficiency, cleanliness and hustle than for municipal beauty: Its ar- chitecture is square and plain, like the newer American cities, but it boasts many beautiful residential ‘crescents’ and ‘places.’ On older | streets the gingerbread architecture | of the early nineties with an over supply of mansard roofs strikes the visitor's attention, However, the newer mansions of the well-to-do classes equal any residential dis- tricts of a city of similar size in ‘the states.” 4 Winter Sports Attract “Winnipeg's climate is one ef ex- tremes, cold in winter and hot in summer,_yet ft is considered ularly healthy. Winter sporf peciily ice boating and curli tract visitors for miles around. In| sw. mer the city dweller has but a drive of sixty miles to r | Beach on Lake Winnipes, ba's greatest resort. On hot summe days thousands of holiday makers crowd the sands at this popular wa- tering place. Winnipeg béasts more sunny | ays in the year than any other large Canadian center, from which | fact it enjoys the nickname of * shine City’ To the sophistic traveler this name, like similar des- | ignations, must be taken with a| grain of salt. “Nevertheless, ~ Canada’s magi city docs lie in a district of sunny, black loam prairies, where wheat grows in unrivalled luxu ing a short, hot northern summer. | Likewise the brisk clearness of her | long, cold winters malkes the spot well suited for out-door winter life. | One does not expecy the ‘Sunshine City’ of Canada to rival California. Winnipeg is not San Diego in cli- mate. She comes much nearer mak- | ing good her claim of rivaling Chi- cago as a wheat market Manito- COACH AND TRUCK COLLIDE “ A sligit accident occurred at 3: erday afternoon at Broad and lington streets between a couch | W owned by Louis Lang of 44 Cottage place, Waterbury, and driven by | Frank Kohl of the same address, and a truck owned and driven by | John Abel of 34 Doris street, this| city. Kohl told Motoreycle Officer | David Doty that he was driving north on Washington street and Abel was driving east on Broad street. Abel misjudged the distance he had to pass, With the result that his truck struck the rear bumper of | the caach on the left side. There | was practically no damage and the | officer found no cause for police action. Canada’s output of chemicals and | allied products had a production | | vatue exceeding $126,000,000 in 1921.

The bulletin, in full, Is as fol- Loy Sducation should be the fore- most concern of the people of every community. The opening of a new school year ‘is an occasion- of no | slight fmportance. For parents who are planning to send their boys and girls to school in the hope that the school will do much to help their children to more fully realize their best and highest possibilities, to make them better citizens and to | broaden their view of the world | rce and importance. | “Ali teachers and school officials bave a deep intercst in your plans and we therefore ask that you dis- | close to us your plans for the fu- | ture of your chiidren, and that you permit us to share with you in r realization. “We hope that after the long va- | | cation all children will come to school this fall with increased en- ergy and greater ve power to combat the confinement of the in- door life of school. Be assured that constant attention to the preserva- | tion of good health will be given in all schools, from kindergarten through Senior High school, Your cordial interest and co-operation are | requested in the health work which | is being carried on in all schools. This health work is of fundamental importance, for it aims to develop sound health, to give a knowledge of personal and community hygiene and to fix habits of healthy living. The child who comes to school in sound physical health and keeps well throughout the school year is likely to make a success of school work and to do it without undue nervous strain. Must Begin With Child “Parents and teachers of today know that we must begin with the child it we are to help him to be- come a man he ought to be. The development of sound character and correct social and moral attitudes are recognized by the schools as of great value and importance than the development of mental capacity. Every school subject, and every Company told me the other day that some of my bonds had been called as of next week. I had for- gotten all about them. Guess I had better get busy and reinvest.” * x * ¥ ¥ Part of the regular work of our Bond Department is to help customers keep a close watch on their holdings so as to take advantage of market condi- tions at all times. Therefore when you buy of us you do more than buy securities—you get service thatis often invaluable. Help ‘Build school’ experience is purposely made to contribute to the development of character and to social and moral growth. Fundamental to the devel- opment of sound character is the need of the child for training in an intelligent religious life. He needs to feel*the presence of God in the world, to give expression to this feeling in natural ways of worship. This is a matter of early training. Although the responsibility for re- ligious training belongs primarily to the home, the achool is seriously concerned about-it, for it is the child whose parents provide such training who responds most succws- fully to achool training and benefita most of it To this end, opportunity is given to all children in grades three to eight, inclusive, to receive special’ religious instruction for one kour cach week during regular school time. It is hoped that during this year this opportunity for week- day religious instruction may be taken by ‘all children of grades three to eight. Education Is Asset_ “A good education is an asset under all circumstances. The school opportunities provided in public schools of New Britain are such as to make it possible for any boy or girl of normal capacity to get a fair start in life. “The Elementary schools, for children of six to twelve years of age, furnish training in reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, for cor- rect use of written and oral English, geography, history and_elementary sicence, as well as music, art and wing. “Special classes are provided for children of the elementary grades who are handicapped by defective vision or by physical or mental weakness. Individual help and at- tention are given to each child in these classes. “The Junior High achools, for boys and girls of twelve to fifteen years of age, offer such studies and such experlences as are appropriate to the adolescent years. They pro- vide for a broader treatment end conception of the use and meaning of each of the elementary scheol subjects. They make a beginuing of college preparatory work. They alse offer experiences in ocomme and industrial work, which help the boy or girl to determine his or her choice of future achool or werk. They further offer in extra-cursi- cular and club activities, such real experiences in social contrel, co- operation and leadership as will contribute to greater personal ef- ficiency and more intelligent citisen- ship. “The Senior High achool and Trade school, for young men and young women of fifteen to eighteen years of age offer subjects, courses and experiences that are designed to prpare for professional courses in higher institutions of learning, or to prepare for direct entrance upon life work.” MOTORCYCLIST THROWN Night Worker at Machine Company Plant Dazed When Tossed From Mount On Chestnut Street, Arthur Apin, Jr., of Southbridge, Mass., driving a motorcycle east on Chestnut street about 4:25 yesterday afternoon, was thrown off when his machine eollided with an automo- bile driven by Arthur C.
