Most of us had a common origin and altho our habits and customs differ in some respects, respects, as do our ambitions and moral tendencies, there is at heart and fundamentally, as citizens, not so much real difference in evidence when we come to know each other well. We were particularly pleased, therefore, therefore, to learn that our old friend and fellow-teacher of the seventies--now the Honorable William Renwick Rid- . dell, Justice of the Supreme Court of Ontario, had accepted, the invitation of the authorities of Yale University to deliver the Dodge lectures on the " Responsibilities of Citizenship " in the coming college year. This lectureship lectureship has been held by the most prominent prominent Americans, including such distinguished citizens as ex-President W. H. Taft, EHhu Root, Charles E. Hughes, etc., but*no one not an American American citizen has heretofore been selece- ed as lecturer except Viscount Bryce .when he was ambassador at Washington. Washington. We are' sure that Canadians of all classes will appreciate most highly the compliment to our eminent Jurist. He is. brother-in-law to the late Dr, C. C. James, C.M.G., Dominion Commissioner Commissioner of Agriculture, and a native of the County of Northumberland. Our older readers will remember how our grandmothers and mothers even were strong believers in the use of medicinal herbs for all kinds of human ailments--one or more plants for every separate ill. Doctors then as now scouted the remedial values •and called them ".simples'" for two reasons---because the persons . who- used them were-the simple-minded people and the remedy, if such, they deigned to characterize was simple, too. English gardens.even npw contain contain more or less of these Old-fashioned, Old-fashioned, medicinal herbs. To tis who were familiar with them the old-time fragrance fragrance Is almost discernible in the very recital of the names of the aromatic plants. The fact that nearly all the common household mediçines were derived derived from plants of pleasant odors leads to a wonder as to whether their supposed virtues were discovered before before they were brought into domestic cultivation or afterwards. We believe that nature does provide a remedy for the most of our physical ailments if we only knew which and when to use. * * * * Physicians of long ago used herbs in their practice but they did not let the people know of what the medicine was composed. We are not sure but that the medicinal qualities of some plants, barks, etc., are still recognized by present-day physicians. People do not longer, in this country at least, go to their gardens or the woods for them, but to druggists, _ who obtain Maclean's THE MAGAZINE FOR REAL CANADIANS f Every phase of present-day Canadian life is reflected in the July issue o MacLean's Magazine.

Whether or not it is worth while, as in old time, to grow these herbs for tlieir us,e as u simples " is not certain, though the-high prices of drugs owing to the war indicates that it might be desirable. True they have a charm for many persons hardly less than plants grown for beauty a- lone, and their cultivation is not without without interest on purely aesthetic grounds.

Herbs, roots and barks still have their uses, but few people now seem to go to the trouble of preparing them for medicinal purposes. purposes. * * * * Doctors could do a great deal if they would" to prevent people from contracting contracting disease and sickness, but that would militate against the pecuniary interests of their profession and few men âre so generous and philanthropic that they will kill the goose that lays the golden egg. They will tell you, if you were to suggest such a humanitarian humanitarian benevolence, that the bane of their professiori now and alway has been is to get patients to " follow directions," and if they won't do it when sick they arè not very likely to do better when well and less aparent need for special care or action. We notice that some action has been taken along preventative lines. A news despatch despatch in the papers recently stated California is going to teach people how to keep well. The despatch says : Doctors cure the sick. The University of California wants women to keep folks well. To this end it is offering a course in its present summer session session of special value to women who want to make this their business in life. The course will show girls how to become visiting nurses in schools, how to be neighborhood visitors, teaching mothers the care of babies. It has a special contribution for the social service workers who follow up hospital cases and ailing families to remove the causes of illness, and for the girl who wants to become a physical physical educator. * * * * When one sees the variety of fruit in the groceries and fruit stores in June, and especially the big luscious watermelon, he wonders how they get here so early and where they grew. On inquiry we find that the melons we get in this part of the Province in early summer come from the Southern States, being shipped in large quantities--car-load quantities--car-load lots--to Toronto and Montreal and then sent out in smaller consignments to retailers in smaller places. Georgia holds the juicy distinction of raising more, watermelons than any other State. Twenty-seven thousand six hundred and sixty-three acres are luxuriant with this green-rimmed, rëd- hearted treasure, beside which the apple apple of Eden would be no temptation at all. As ah industry, Georgia melon growing is among the comparatively new and most profitable lines of agriculture. agriculture.

The natitrel resources aie so manifold that: this dan he done. It requires only foresight and energy to turn, the unnumbered opportunities to account. Canadian farmers might take a useful hint from the foregoing. * * * * It is a great mystery to the Col- Unjgwood Bulletin why more farmers do not attend meetings for agriculturalists agriculturalists in larger numbers. " The trouble lies at the door of tj^e farmers themselves. There is not an organ!-? zation of any" kind that can be kept progressive and useful unless those within its membership can be induced to bh active and energetic, and by this it must not be taken that it is held that the older men should be crowded aside. Youth and enthusiasm sometimes, sometimes, indeed very often, requires to be tempered, and much can be done in this direction by the advice and experience experience of those, who have " served their day with the axe, the fork and the plow in building up rural Ontario." While thé Bulletin may be half right, or mpre, in our opinion the chief reason for non-attendance at farmers' meetirigs is the lack of education in country districts: Those who attend farmers' Institutes may have observed, as we have, that the intelligent farmers farmers are usually present, but those who need instruction in agriculture most Eire absent. The fault lies with our inadequate public school system, which has placed the rural schools ^under the control of young girls and farm boys will not go to school to such teachers after they attain to the age when, they can get the most benefit under proper teachers. *"*■** Some woeful-failures have come to city people who think it is the com- ] mon lot of farmers to get rich quick. 1 The high prices they are compelled to pay for all kinds of farm produce helps them in the belief they so often ' cherish that leads them on the rocks when they follow their desires to go farmirg. The Department of Agri- 1 culture, we are told, receives letters regularly from would-be farmers who, * on superficial knowledge, or because' of the glowing, stories of land sharks, * get the false idea of wealth made on j the farm. Some of them appear to believe that the reason all the farmers are not rich is because of extravag- ! ance, wastefulness, ignorance, and a 1 lack of business ability. To these let- 1 ters the Department's specialists reply much as follows : j " As a matter of fact, farmers as a class are intelligent, industrious and economical, and many of them .are ' men of good .business judgment. Fur-| ther, those wnof have made a thorough j study of the business" side of farming know that it ; is not an easy matter .to make money on the farm. Only the : most practical and experienced farm- ers are making considerable profit out of their business. Much of the money ! that has been made on the farm in j recent years has been made, not by j farming, but by the rise of price on l farm lands. In the nature of things j this rise cannot continue indefinitely, and some one will own this land when the price becomes practically stationary, stationary, or perhaps starts to decline. * * * * It is a good plan for those who get the itching for farm life to go out with farmers and engage in farm work for a season--there are always openings openings to men willing to work--and whatever loss of time or money such course involves the first loss will be | the best, in, most cases at least. We : do not deny but that there are exceptions, exceptions, but while it is true that occas- ionally a city bred family makes good on the farm, this is the exception and 1 not the rule. It is always a risk to invest in a business without first making making a thorough study of that business. Many city people who have saved up a few hundred dollars and who have had little or no farm experience, but who are imbued with a rosy vision of the joys and profits of farming, buy poor land at high prices and thereby lose the savings they have been years in accumulating. One city family paid $10,000 cash and assumed a $12,000 mortgage on a farm worth only about $11,000. Another paid $2,000 cash and signed a mortgage for $6,000 on a farm that was later appraised at $3,000. A city family that had saved $2,000 used this money to make a first payment on cheap farm land, and when their eyes were opened found they still owed considerably more than the farm was worth. For seven years they have worked almost night and day to meet the interest, without being being able to reduce the principal. These instances could be multiplied almost almost indefinitely. *.**•* A little practical- advice from an experienced man who has no land to sell should be sought. Any such man would advise the city man that in purchasing a farm great care should be taken to get a good farm at a fair price. To pay or agree to pay more than the farm is worth is to invite failure. From a business standpoint rio farm that -does not pay interest on the total investment, depreciation on equipment, and wages for all labor performed on that farm, is successf uL " Even when great care is taken in making the investment only in. exceptional exceptional cases should the city bred family family attempt farming. Generally the best advice that can be given to the city bred man who desires to become * farmer is what we have recommended, recommended, namely, that before nurcHâfing a fam be wort as a iarm hand fût orthr» Thl»'jrtB gfo him afa . opportunity to learn at first hand toany things about the business, as well as the practical side, of f anning. In no othef Way, as a rule, can he get good farm training and experience at less trouble and expense or without without danger from financial' disaster. * * * * What good service to the average man in his life work Is Algebra Î asks a practical business man. We give it up, " like the other donkey did," as the old joke ran. Many hours we spent in our school days on the subject, and we liked it well, too. Teaching the boys and girls how to do quadratic ëquasions was also to xis very interesting. But in a business career of four decades we have never once had occasion to resort to an algebraic algebraic solution . of our many problems. problems. Still the examiners who set the papers for Normal Entrance exams, this year must consider Algebra Algebra a very valuable subject. The paper was no credit to any teacher owing to its too great length if for no other reason. There were twelve questions, containing in all nineteen parts, which is equivalent to nineteen separate problems. As the time allowed allowed for the paper was 2% hours, the average time for each problem was less than eight minutes. Only; a very exceptional candidate could finish within the limit, and even then would have no time for revision, or checking over his or her work. * * * * A Montreal friend sent us this article, article, which is full of wisdom - and excellent excellent practical thoughts.
