Accelerate National production the Iago and of the Tain s half a and was trans Story of How Canadian resources Are being transformed dual wealth at the present is concisely told in recent reports to Dominion Bureau of statistics. From the soil were Obed last year agricultural products to the value of a billion and dollars of which tie. Field crops alone were Worth almost cd while Dairy products amounted to 238 million dollars even eggs to 50 millions. Pulp and saw Timber of the forests insisted into wealth to the extent of 564 millions and the accounted for 209 millions More. Hydro electric Power i crated for Industrial and Utility purposes was Worth 100 Ion dollars. Manufacturing is put at three and a half billions this includes both primary and secondary industries and considerable duplication such As 227 millions from pulp and which is already included in wealth obtained Furcini the 238 millions from Dairy products which is embraced a Ricu Tural production. Total value of production of All kinds for the year is Stima cd at something Over five and a half billion dollars which a a country of Canada s comparatively Small population and Tho Short period of its Active development is a quite creditable show from these figures and considering that the development of billion but gains co the country is Only Well begun one can get a vision of the Neely greater rate at wealth will to produced in Canada in Mure we have acres of arable land of which Only acres were devoted to Field crops last. Year. Canada not Only grows the Best Quality of wheat but its wheat Jirlds have also a higher yield than those of any other important the Fri producing country. The same is largely True of Oats. Canada will become More and More famous for its Mineral production. In Coal deposits it is second Only to the United states and has about one sixth of the world s Supply. In both Gold and Silver production we hold third place among the nations and it is confidently predicted that in Only a few years our Gold output will surpass that of Tho United states and we shall then soon begin to rival South Africa. And scarcely any other country has available so much water Power to facilitate Industrial development and the successful exploitation of its resources. So says or. Flexner is presented by both great Britain and America. The uniformity Deflon lateness and scholarly Quality of secondary Edu cation throughout Western Europe always state controlled and mostly state supported contrasts sharply with the unevenness of great Bri Tain and the laxity widely characteristic of in great Britain he discovers that the provision made by universities for pass and Honor students differentiates Between the mediocre and the More talented. The latter Arff Given Opportunity to set 1 their own Pace irrespective of what the Mere Passmen May do. In America the High school which is definitely below the gymnasium and the Lychee in Standard is adjusted More nearly to the Reeds of the lowest Pupil in Point of mental equipment. Or. Mexner agrees that no child should be deprived of the Opportunity of higher education but he should retain his place in the High school Only if he measures up to a rigorous intellectual Standard and not As is the present custom be kept there1 and pushed through under almost any it. Would appear that if the review committee is to meet the present situation its Only to Deal with the curricula but to enunciate an educational policy which will take cognizance of the realities the situation wherein the human equation must be reckoned. The British nations color bar in South Africa. The Bill that passed the South african parliament to from admission to the More technical positions in the mines and other industries has been rejected by the Senate. The minister of Alist or Premier a Hertzog a party who had charge of. The Bill presented it As designed to entrench the White race in South Africa. It was opposed however Senate As it bad been opposed in tie lower Bouse on Tbs ground that it embodied an essential injustice and was a rever Sal of every Liberal practice which had previously governed especially in the Cape province. In the trans Vaal itself where it is most applicable the High court cleared it Ultra and the com plete legalizing of its terms was the reason Tor its present presentation by tie Hertzog government. One senator compared what would be the position in , Ai Rica with what is the position in belgian con go should the Bill be enacted. In South Africa the native population would be debarred from practical participation in up building the in North Island which is far less Well loaded than the South Island axe raising Large Loans and tar Bitumen and Concrete Are All being tried out. Lack of anything that can be used Road. Metal causes trouble in some districts in comparison with Australla and. Considering its rough surface and sparse population new zealand has a remarkable mile age of metalled roads. Motor trans port is now almost Universal and far mers. And townsfolk alike Are de manding the Best roads that their Means will indeed some bodies Are setting a Standard which most experts consider to be too High for the volume of traffic. On the whole Road making is being put on a scientific basis and the countr i will Benefit greatly in the next few Gallant exploit recalled in Upu Sirunik lieu Iii t. _ dust rial. Life of the country in the government interference. In prevent . Coal strike in Britain might be a sign that the British Coal Industry is unable to function without a Reader s totes. Books Are a finer world within the world of Canada s future As a great wealth producer there can be possible doubt. But to canadians of the present Day the main Point is that the acceleration of that production just now would i go a Long Way to ease the Burden of our War debt to lower tax Ilion. To solve the railway problem and to make the wholes coun t a prosperous. The policies that will Speed up general production f tied the translation of the potential wealth of the country into actual wealth Are. Very obviously the policies to which Canada must adhere and upon which her government should zealously concentrate. To increase production in any Branch it is necessary to pro vide As far As possible conditions that will ensure a reasonably satisfactory return for Effort and Money expended. The better the Prospect in this respect the greater the stimulus to enlarged production. It. Is not Only the Market Price of the output that counts but More particularly what the producer has left in the shape of net returns. Hence for the Farmer the Cost of living the Tost of the things that he works with and the Cost of sending his products to Market Are vitally important factors because they have a direct bearing on his balance Sheet at the end of the year. Similarly in Mineral production capital will be attracted in some degree by Low operating costs due to ability to secure machinery and equipment at a reasonable Price because of a Tariff policy framed for that purpose and due to labor costs that Are not unduly High because of High living costs. Even the manufacturers who desire to raise the Tariff Are prone to Overlook the accompanying Handicap of higher Cost for materials and equipment which they use in their manufacturing. To keep production costs As Low As possible and to let the world know of the opportunities which exist in Canada for those who will co operate personally or financially in the development of the country is the surest Way to increase production to relieve some of our most pressing National problems and to improve the general condition of the people.

Abraham Flesner in upon medical education which is being widely reviewed discusses this question of secondary education comparing the efforts in this direction among the English speaking people with those of France and Germany. In the place of the High school and to some extent acting As a substitute for the College Germany has the gymnasium. Here pupils Are admitted d at nine or ten years of age and remain for nine years. Intellectually unfit pupils Are. Ruthlessly eliminated. The graduate of the gymnasium is the survival the fittest. The Lychee of France is the equivalent of the German gymnasium.

S. Magazine revives interest in charge of a squad fort Garry a poem in the August number of the Magazine entitled fort has renewed interest in one of the most dash ing and unique incidents of the. Great War. The participants "b1" Squadron of the fort Garry were mainly Winnipeg men or men recruited in the Western provinces. The incident is the famous charge of a Squadron at the first Battle of Cambrai in november 1917 a feat characterized by sir Douglas Haig As a most Gallant Tho poem in which is a new York publication is by Hubert Kelley who was a member of an american railway battalion that was camped in proximity to the fort Garry in late november 1917. The verses Are in a High pitched key and exceedingly laudatory of the charge of the fort Garry but Tho author has let Bis imagination run away from the facts and has Canadian officers expressing heroic sentiments which hardly in keeping the Bear ing and tradition of Tho officer. This however might be condoned on the ground of poetic License. The poet however has broken All the canons of Good taste by an introductory note to his verses in which he says being an account. In rhyme of the last glorious charge of the fort Garry horse of Winni p leg Canada. Most of Tho troopers f believe were this of course is not the Case. The american army did Good work in the War and no doubt All fair minded americans have no desire to detract from Canada s exploits in the War. By proclaiming that Galla it sections of the Canadian army were composed largely of americans. Americans it is True did enlist in. The Canadian army before the . Entered the War but the percentage of americans in the Canadian army is. Shown by official figures to be about five per cent. Winnipeg authorities state that the fort Garry horse As comprised at car brai showed less than n. Half dozen troop ers born in the states. It is not believed that there was a single american Iii a Squadron which is the subject of the poem. Cavalry at Cambrai the incident however is Worth relating. The first Battle of Cam brat in november 1917, saw the largest concentration of cavalry tha1 appeared on the West front during the War. Twelve divisions or about Ness enabled them to Wuh raw and fight Way Back by the Bi-ldg.3 they bad crossed and regain the British line. The Canadian horse .
