Tbe province provides for the training of teachers, in the public , schools, tecbnical scbaols, continu-; ation schools. commercial sebools, bigla schools, and collegiates, etc., inspects the schaols, sets sanitary standards and distributes grants, thus promoting the efficiency o! the schools. 2.

Sorne destray the f aliage, others fecst on the flowers. wbile still others dm11l into the stems. It is really worth wbile for every gar- dener to leai-n sometbing about these pests, for the more lie knows, the better will he be able ta figlit them. There are two cbief classes o! iniurîous insects: lst, biting in- sects, whîch bite and chew their f ood, sucla as cutworms and cater- pillars o! variaus kinds, leaf eating beetles, etc.: and 2nd, sucking in- sects wbach suck their food fi-rn the plants without actually eating the leaves. The borers are more ser- îaus, tbaugh the>' are not quite so common. The>' usually bore their way into the stem of the plant fi-rn the out.sicle, and do their damage b>' finding a way up the inside of the stem. Biting insects have ta be at- tackecl with a stornach poison; can- tact insecticides are o! ittle value, for they have ta est sornething for the remecly ta be effective. The sucking insects are usuail>' destro>'- ed b>' a contact insecticide wbich is nat very difficult ta appi>'. Cultivation has something ta do with the preventian o! insect pesta. Vigorous plants, for some reason, are not sa hiable ta attacks. as are plants o! less vigorous grawtb. Ev- trything possible shauld be donc to induce a strong grawtb, that tbe plante ma>' be better able to witb- stand the pesta. Wben the garden is dug up in the spring. an>' grubs that ai-e exposed should be removed. Then. weeds sbould neyer be allow- ect ta rernain in the garden. A num- ber o! beetle pesta f eed upon tbe roots o! the common weeds. Sarne 0f the most destructive plant dis- eases ai-e known ta find their win- ter home on weeds. The weeds also attract the cutwarm maths for tbe purpose o! egg-laying. Clean culti- vation helps very rnuch in the bat- tie against peste.

Or, te put it another way, and adxnitting the services to be Worth wbule, wbere and how cauld tbey be bought-the whole of tbem -at a lower figure than the tax bill of the average man? The point we wish to make is this: that, after ail, when people pay taxes tbey are paying for something they bave bougbt, sarnetbing tbey wanted ta bu>'. Governments didn't create all o! these services o! their own accord. Tbey created tbern be- cause the People asked them to cre- ate them. Demanded thern. And sucli services cast money. 0 The only question for the public ta cansider is as ta whether ailla! the services are necessar>'; whetber sorne o! tbern aren't beyond their means. But let us trY ta be clear about it. Lot us be clear that we can't bave aur cake and eat it. Can't Shave services, and fads and creature- comforts witbout taxes.
