Amnong bis interesting remanks the speaker said: An intellectual survcy et Canada weuld bring te ligbt soie very gratitying tacts and others that are ràtber dùsmaying. Ourn population is naturl'y intelligent. 1* is doubt-. fIif any weuld rank higiier. Our primary and secondary schools in mest parts et the Dominion are geod. The rating et oun university gradu.. ates is satistactory. The best teature in Our provincial university is thse ne- cognition et honour courses for these who can specialize early. Theze bonour graduates are welceîed in tiie great unîvemaities of the United iStates and usually coîpete success- fully wîth the best candidates tram aIl quarters. The American student is net sup- crier in knowledge but seenis te have more self-confidence and initiative. Canadien students who go te the Un- ited States become infected witb this spirit et enterprise and edventure, wbich, added te previeus training, gîves tiien an enermeus edvantage. Thus we are contronted with the dis- couraging tact that many Canadiens seern te beconie more capable and courageous wben they leeve their ewn country. The explanation et this discour. aging situation may be ascnibed in part te, the superien developient et industriel research in the United States. American industries are protected by tariffs but they do net depend upon this protection. Tiiey pnotect theniselves ageinst the wonid and against anc another by means et research. A mere list et their research leboretonies wauld fi11 a tair- sized volume. It is doubttul if Can- ada ccsuld muster eneugh te 511l a tew pages. Industriel- research pays big ne- turns te investers and te govern. nients. The researciies et two or tiiree mcn like Edison have created in the space et hardiy torty years nieny billions et dollars' worth et clectnical enterpnises. Al et this new preperty pays dividends te in- vestors and pays taxes te the gevern- ment. To the people it gives cm- ployment. In this respect Canada is rather bebind the tumes. We are intelli- gent eneugh 'but tee content te learn troni others. Perbepe tiie tariff is te blame. A prohibitive duty on iniported goods bas enabled many a manufacturer te dispense with research. Thus there is ne en- couragement in certain fines et in- dustry te give cmployment ta train- cd brains. To correct tuis situation the federal gaveremeet eught te adopt tiie pninciple that ne industrym should be protected by means et a1 tarif that refuses te proteet ltaelt by1 measieoe research.
