WINNERS NAMED IN CONTEST FOR SCHOOL GROUNDS The J. E. Carter Trophy, offer- ed by the Ontario Harticultural Association in the Provincial Sehool Grounda Improvernent Competition, for 1947 has been wnby S.S. No. 14, Hamilton Township, in the inspectorate of Northumberland and Durham. The teacher is Miss Audrey Lin- ton, Cobourg, who had the dis- tinction, in a school where she previously taught, of winning the Hon. P. M. Dewan Trophy for second place in a similar contest. The other prize winners are: 2. Hon. P. M. Dewan Trophy, S.S. No. 6, Sydenham, North Grey County, teacher Mrs. Alice Hillis, Owen Sound. 3. S.S. No. 13, Cornwall, Stor- mont County, teacher, Keîtb Steven, Nortbfield Station. 4. S.S. No. 12, Belmont, Peter- boro gh County, teacher, Miss Rega a illen, Cordova Mines. To enter the Provincial Con- test, a school had first to win a county competition. In these coun- ty contests this year, there were some 240 entries, ranging from Bruce to Dundas ane. from Well- and to Muskoka, an increase of about fifty sehools over 1946. In his report as judge, John F. Clark, of the Ontario Department of Ag- riculture, makes the following comnment: "The top ranking school, NQ. 14, ~amilton Township, is a beauti ful example of the work we are ;eeking to promote. The young lady teacher has already won the ron. P. M. Dewan Trophy in an- other inspectorate. Every pos- sible item of work was given at- tention. "The second-place school, No. 6, Syndenham North, in Grey County, is a good runner-up. There is still work that can be done at this achool, but great strides were shown in the effort bhis year. "The school standing 3rd, No. 13, Cornwall, ratéd 3rd lait year,! and the young man teacher did1 hi best ta raise the ratini. Hisj efforts were good, but lacked en- ough ncw work ta score second. "The fourth place school, No 12, Belmont, is in a backward part of Peterborough County, un- der handicap with rock, but did enough good work ta justify the rating." Mr. Clark expresses regret that the outstanding schools are on back roads, and not seen by the najority af travellers. t t a h ti c a ci IH 't VARIABLE FORECAST 1947 AÈPLE CROF Adverse weahher throughoul Eastern Canada bas delaycd de- velopment a! thc fruit crops, states lb. final officiai report7 on th. fruit and vegelable crops pro- duced in Canada in 1947.

Value of Education In conclusion the speaker sug- ested that the majority, engaged in farni production have not yet re- celved Uic type of usefui educa- tion that such a great national industry warrants. Our schools have net been sufficiently equiip- ped te cape with the prablem. Coupled with this quite evidient d-efect waa the fact that there was too little understancting o! rural problems by urban people. It was pointed out that rural people have been paying a buge tax bill ta support schools which tended ta educate youth away from the farms and inta cities. The tîme bas corne when the ur- ban population whose comfort de- pends upon a prasperous agric- ulture, should take a mare en- lightened and co-operative view o! the case and support an ed- ucahional system that would re- store the balance.

BOUTLES qM SDAY, JMY Slit 1941 Since the 1941 census thére has been a decline of almost 60,000 in the total population cf the three prairie provinces. The great bulk of this has occurred in Saskatchewan, though the trend is similar, if less pronounced, in the other two. "Reasons for the decline ire not hard to locate," declares The Fin. ancial Post In a front page editor- il. "Mechanization of agriculture In the more fully settled south and central areas is releasing far more mannoower than new ]and opening in the north and Irrigated areas elsewhere can absorb. 1If tl.ye prairie provinces are ta grow, then other industries must be developed. For this develop. ment, capital la a first requýre- ment. Unfortunately for them- selves, provincial authorities have flot always reallzed this need and undoubtedly the exodus of people today is at least partly the un- pleasant result. "Instead of endouraging. new investment, provincial. govern- ment policies, especially in Sask- atchewan and previously in AI- berta, have scared it away. Now these provinces are paying the penalty by having their ypung peoole forced ta go ta those parts of Canada and the United, States wheré capital bas been encour- aged to fulfili its normal function o! creating new jobs."
