Taking a dominion-wide view the speaker said in all Canada in I9 01 t " e value of livestock and their products was $62,300,000 which decreased by I9JJ only $48,200,000. Still more significant figures show that in 1900 there were exported exported from Canada 211,849 cattle while in 1912 only 61,285. Export of beef in 1908 reached over 2,253,000 lbs, while in 1912 it dropped to only 948,771 lbs. or nearly 150 P er cent. Bacon was exported in 1908 tâ amount of 92,001,217 lbs. and in 1912 only 58,970, 963 lbs. „ Cheese exports in 1906 reached a little over 215,834,500 lbs. but in 1912^ to only 163,450,684 lbs. Food for thought surely in these figurés on export. If products arc not sent out revenue is correspondingly correspondingly less. Another startling statement that shows want of progress is that between 1901 and 1911 census amount of cultivated land increased increased less than I per cent, but land in field crops increased 5 per cent altho production is stationary if not actually backward. Referring to Education and Schools Mr. Munroe made a very strong appeal for male teachers for senior pupils and said the more strong men that are employed employed in the schools the better.

Child life demands variety, and, if wisely handled, handled, there is no great fear of having two many subj cts on the school program. You appear to conclude that one holding the views therein expressed must be opposed opposed to the Entrance. Examination. 1 see no connection between the statement and your conclusion.
