Cruises from New York to Halifax

summer months of this year with
stop-over privileges in Canada good
for several weeks. This stop-over con-

Meanwhile the Nova Scotia govern-
ment is making arrangements to have
the attention of the visitors directed
to the attractions the province offers
to the holiday seeker. Nova Scotia
has a long and romantic history. The
province was discovered by John
Cabot in 1497 and the first settlement
dates fram 1518. At Port Royal, now
Annapolis Royal, 127 miles from
from Halifax, the first cultivation of
the soil in Canada was undertaken
in 1605 and in that year at that spot
was grown the first wheat raised in
North America. There, too, in 1605
the first water wheel to tur a mill-
stone for the grinding of wheat on
the North American Continent was
operated. En route from Halifax to
Annapolis Royal, is the Land of

Books Mailed To Blind

Free Postage Allowed Large Lending
| Library In Toronto

| Toronto has one of the three larg-
lest “blind” libraries on the continent.
More than 12,000 volumes in Braille
and 2,555 in Moon’s type fill the
shelyes of the library of the Canadian
National Institute for the Blind.

“Blind people do not tall for their
books, like ordinary subscribers do,”
said S. C. Swift, the blind librarian,
who has read every volume on the
shelves, “Their books are ordered
and mailed to them by parcel post
in a special canvas bag.” He explain-
ed that there was free postage for
such material in the mails due to the
efforts of Sir William Mulock when
postmaster-general.

Blind people read many books, .said
Mr. Swift, who estimated that a slow
reader might read one or two volumes
each month, while a rapid reader coy-
ered from 18 to 20 in the same period.
Each ink print book required from
three to four yolumes in Braille, he
said, and an even greater number in
Moon's type. Braille was used by
younger blind people, whose fingers
were more sensitive and not so easily
tired.

“I feel I must write a few lines in

What indeed does not that word

it means a kind loving disposition;
it means humility and charity; it
means a generous appreciation of

The Written Word

The Difficulty Of Expressing Ideas In
Proper Form

Writing the setting together of
words and phrases and sentences to
the expression of a thought, looks
easy and yet there are many persons
who find it no simple task to say in
words precisely what they want to
say.

Arthur Brisbane, editor and writer,
from the heights of success, offers
some useful advice. Learn to be crit-
ical of your own writing. Use adjeo-
tives sparingly. Avoid “fine’’ writing.
“if you write anything of which you
are particularly proud cut that out,
or at least cut it in two.’ Superfluous
words and muddled thinking are the
primary literary evils, according to
Mr. Brisbane. “There is seldom such
a thing as difficulty in writing,” he
says truly, “but there is often a dif-
ficulty in clear thinking.”—Ottawa
