Excerpt from The Canadian Magazine of Politics, Science, Art and Literature, Vol. 51: May 1918 to October 1918 Inclusive I knew at once that it was not a camp-meeting, for there was no sug gestion of the fervour and solemnity which distinguished such events. There was occasional laughter and cheering, but I thought that some of those who listened did not like the behaviour of their neighbours. I was interested in the statement of the speaker that wherever he had gone throughout the county he found that someone else had been there, and that many calves and steers had been bought at very high figures. Who was this mysterious person? Why should he buy calves and steers? Why should be pay such high prices? Finally the speaker sat down to much clapping and cheering. Another man arose, and there was even more cheering. As he spoke it was remarkable that he agreed with nothing that the first speaker had said, while those who had been silent now became happy and demonstrative. But the light was breaking. I recalled many a fireside controversy, and almost instinctively I. Knew what game they were playing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Canadian Magazine of Politics, Science, Art and Literature, Vol. 49: May, 1917, to October, 1917, Inclusive I have elaborated on what might be considered merely an introduction, because nothing done by the women of England can be considered by a Canadian in the light of Canadian experience alone. This description of conditions pre cluding complete participation by the English woman in the war work open to her frees me for a general state ment without prejudice, omitting for the moment consideration of her handicaps. I am prepared to say that not all the better class women of England have done in the aggregate what a tenth their number of Can adian women would have accomplish ed in the same time. They have not taken to knitting for several reasons. Those who are keenly anxious to do effective war work without delay have not the patience to learn; and those who have but yielded to the prevail ing fashion do not, see in quiet knit ting that which will return them full credit for their energy. Also, there are still those in whose mind con tinnes the almost unsuspected impres sion that knitting is for a lower class. In a whole year I have seen only one English woman knitting. It is the women of the lower classes who have responded in a manner that calls for no qualifications, no condi tions, and not alone for the high wages their work now brings them.

Excerpt from The Canadian Magazine of Politics, Science, Art and Literature, Vol. 16: November, 1900 to April, 1901, Inclusive Nineteen years of murderous cold and mosquitoes, Indians, dog-trains and half-breeds in the winter, and it is winter nearly all the time, living on frozen fish; for nineteen years cut off almost entirely from the civilized world except when The Boat made its an nual trip with stores and letters to that far-away post. Yet the north has a strange fascin ation for many men. They grow to like the loneliness, the savagery of it however much they may curse it, yet they are restless until they get back to it. But Captain Glenn declared that he had turned his back upon it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
