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 The Ontario High School Physics In the printing of this book two sizes of type have been mainly used. The portion printed in large type( 1 for example) is intended to cover the course in Physics at present prescribed for the classes of the Middle School. The sections in smaller type( 24 for example) have been included in order to render the treatment of the subject more complete. In dealing with the various branches of the subject an attempt has been made to illustrate its principles and laws by reference to numerous applications in ordinary life. Other illustrations are taken from the chief applications of Physics to industry and commerce, especially those to be seen in our own country. Practical questions and problems are proposed in connection with important topics in the text. The materials for these exercises have been selected with the purpose, not only of illustrating and applying the principles discussed, but also of stimulating the interest of the student in the physical phenomena with which he is familiar. Attention is directed to the diagrams and other drawings, of which there is an exceptionally large number. These have all been prepared especially for this work, and great pains have been taken to have them clear and easily understood.

Excerpt from The School System of Ontario (Canada): Its History and Distinctive Features Next after the study of. School organization in the several States of our own country comes that of the colo nies of Great Britain. Descended, like ourselves, from the people that invented local self-government, their solutions of the problem of popular education have in many respects the same features that we find in the United States. But, unlike our own people, these colo nies have never passed through an epoch of revolution and become separate from the parental Government. From this circumstance flows a stream of results that mark considerable differences in practice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
