To secure balance and accuracy, the work was divided into over forty departments, such as geography, pedagogy and education, biography and history. These departments were given to qualified editors, whoworked under careful supervision and who finally brought together the thousands of articles which they had written and adjusted them in harmony with the proportions of the work. The editors have not relied solely. Upon their own experience and judgment, but have had the advice and assistance of business men and educators from every province in the Dominion. Latest information has been secured through letters addressed to prominent persons in important towns and cities. All these articles have been reviewed by notable persons possess ing full information concerning their localities. Statistics have been compiled from the very latest reports, provided they had the merit of strict reliability, and the narrative of events is brought to the eve of publication.
