SCHOOLS ON TRAINS.
When a child can't go, to school, the school must go to it. That is the principle on which, the Canadian authorities work and they have discovered a novel way of putting it into effect; , f There are many parts of Ontario where the scattered population largely consists of lumbermen and others, who move from place to place with! their families in such, a way that oi-dinary schools for the children are out of the question. . . So railway coaches have been fitted out with desks and seats aitd move about over 600 miles of railway, collecting the youngsters and giving them lessons. The children can't get more than a few days' schooling each month because so wide a i field has to be covered but they get home work to do in between the visits pf the railway school. Ana they make, on the whole, .-wonderful progress.
