Excerpt from Ontario Public School: History of Canada Arctic Ocean. Later, he made the hard journey acrossmighty ranges of mountains and stood on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Meanwhile, in the East, the French and the English were learning, not without bitter strife, the need Of working together for their common country. Canada expanded, first eastward, to include the Maritime Provinces, and then westward, until her long frontiers touched those Of the United States for thousands Of miles from the Atlantic to the Pacific. After this expansion new problems came to Canada. She faced the stupendous task of building railways from the Atlantic to the Pacific. With this came the rapid development Of the West - political, agricultural, and commercial. Canada was long only a colony, but this condition was not adequate for a state which occupied half a continent. When Canadian troops fought on the battle fields Of South Africa, the effect was to increase the national self-reliance of Canada. Then came the grim, dramatic years Of the Great War. During this crisis in the history of mankind, Canada played her splendid part, and she secured recognition by the mother-land and by the world of her new and higher status in the British Commonwealth of Nations.

Excerpt from Ontario High School History of England Climate. - Father Ocean, it has been said, has a bias toward England. The in uence of the warm winds sweeping across the Atlantic to her shores brings a mild climate to latitudes that in America are Arctic. It is strange to think that London is in the same latitude as parts of Hudson Bay. England rarely has severe cold. The average difference of temperature between the warm est and the coldest months of the year is not more - than twenty-five degrees, and changes in the seasons are so slight that her people can live an outdoor life throughout the year. There is, for instance, no month when rowing ceases on the Thames or when frost wholly forbids plough ing. Winds are stronger and more rain falls in England than in the adjacent regions of the continent. Charles II, who had dwelt in many lands, said that the best climate was one which permitted men to be abroad with pleasure, or at least without trouble and inconvenience, for the most days of the year and the most hours of the day. This condition, he thought, vprevailed in England more than in any other country in Europe, and without doubt it has helped to make the English an active race.

Excerpt from Ontario Public School History of England: Authorized by the Minister of Education for Ontario; For Use in Forms IV and V of the Public Schools The Britons were so much impressed by the bravery of the Romans that, as soon as they had rallied after their ight, they sent messengers to ask for peace. This Caesar was ready to grant; he demanded, however, as a pledge for their good behaviour in the future, that some of their chiefs should remain in his camp. Some hostages were given at once, but the Britons explained that others were in distant parts of the country, and that it would take a few days to bring them.
