The first official records show that in 1878 there were 56 teachers in British Col- umbia, instructing 2198 pupils. At that time -there were 45 schoo! districts in the province. Of course, that was in the days before the amalgamation of the smaller districts into jorge units, and each school had its own dis- rict. Figures quoted courtesy of the B.C, schoo! Business Officials Association public- etion “The B.C, Schoo! Administrator” tells Canada's Most Dangerous Drivers Teen-agers and other drivers under 25 years of age often are Canada’s most danger- ous drivers. Recent statistics from Ontario show that drivers under 24 comprise only 17.6 per cent of the driving population but are re- sponsible for 30.8 per cent of all accidents, according to the All Canada Insurance Feder- ation. : The Federation, which more us that total expenditure for education in B.C., 1878, was $48,411.00 which works out at $34.70 per pupil per year. The government took care of the entire expenditure then. In 1957, with 103 districts, the enrol- ment had grown to 260,069 students and 9,474 teachers. The cost per pupil per year had risen to $262.60 with a total cost of $77,653,192.00 of which the provincial government paid $43,989,524.00 and the district expenditures were $33,663,668.00.

The large scale of this disaster seems so much worse that the loss strengthen his Character and Mind and Soul. Man is not a slave of God or a Robot he isa son of God; as a good Father, God cannot spoil him by making life too easy. In_ this kindergarden stage of mans eternal life is. being trained for higher service in the King- dom of Heaven. To the Christian ‘beset by some disaster his | ledge that God is not some for dis- .of life and suffering which goes on all the time on our reads and in the air. Why does not God stop such things, why did He not stop the wars we shall be thinking about on Remembrance day? : Poste Much of the suffering in the world is caused by man himself God has given him Free Will and he deliberatly chooses to dis- obey the law of the road, of health or of God. He brings trouble upon himself. : But much suffering is caused by what the insurance people blasphemously call “Acts of God’. These things seem to come from the Power of Evil which is so powerful in the world, God does not send that evil God cannot abolish it without the help of man. He came to this little earth to help man to conquer evil, He died on the Cross ‘in winning the great Victory of Easter but He had left man to finish the war against evil for his own good, Man without something to struggle against would be a very soft and weak in- dividual, he needs struggle and difficulties to tant King divorced from his world but is One who has shared his life of struggle, his God is One who has shared suffering to the utter- most upon the Cross. His loving Father will give him strength to‘ fight against Evi! and.to endure the discipline of training for that fight. The Son of Man (Ged on earth) will give him strength if he asks for it in prayer. But he must p prayer and discipline in little things so that he may be ready to resist the Devil and his works on the bigger scale which will come to Him sooner or later. The Christian knows too that death is not the great evil people often think it is, he knows that death is the entance in to full life if he has prepared himself by fighting along. the side of God against the spiritual powers of evil. God does not send suffering but He cer- tainly gives the Christian power to over come. Jesus said, “This is the Victory which has overcome even you Faith,” St. Paul says too, “Thanks be to God which giveth us the Vi¢- tory through Jesus Christ.” T>e-best Hollywood - brand humor is not only unpremeditated, but it is originated un- wittingly, as, for example, this statement by “Your body is composed of as many atoms as there are drops of water in the Atlantic Ocean,” says a scientist.
