Siig A reporied decrease in the attendance at Queen's College has started a can. It is said that the number of students from the far vess as to the eavse, west cannot be so large now that the railways have withdrawn the special privileges which they formerly grant- ed to students. Reduced rates of tra- vel were secured on the production of the necessary certificates of attendance from the registrar. This was hefore the western provinces, of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, had col- leges of their own, and colleges which could not be built up aid "developed without the support of the people and students of the soil, The Weekly Sun touches another point which will stand examination. It in ws to Lhe financial ability of the farmers' sons to attend college in con- sequence of experiences that are due to weather and the, crops. High liv- ing affects no one more than the stu- dent, especially if he depends upon his own efforts and earnings for his win- ters feos and expenses. He cannot, in the vacation, out of the employments dues which must be paid in advsnce. with increased 'board bills, and & | round of petty taxes, for educational and social purposes, which makes even I a weekiy pocket-book aitenuated. "We suspect," says the Sun, "that the many influences at work are slow- ly withdrawing higher education from the farmers' reach." This would be a great misfortune, and one that can only be contemplated with profound vegret. From the farm come some of the brightest intellect, and from it others must come. The farm must ever remain the home, the train Fig ground, the origin of the men who will becomie leaders in politics, in cofhmerce, in industry, in the learned professions. The Sun does not' say this, is the logical conclusion which follows a consideration of the case. Our con- temporary says "Toronto ~ University is overcrowded, and '"'discipline is occasionally weak, and personal in- fluence, so important in forming chas- neter, ineffective." Words wisely spok en. In view of them one can easily see that Queen's must grow in power have but it at his disposal, save a great deal, and he faces the sewion with class und useflulnéss, and cater to a con stituency particularly her owu. There is a movement to take the home rale question out oi politics. 'This movement 'is led by Lord Dun- raven, who was the ene who brought about the compromise between land- lords and nationalists ten years ago, and opened the way for the Land Bill Thero was a private meeting in Dub: lin on Octéher 2nd, and as a result a document was prepared and signed by « number of influential men, including, besides Dunraven, Sir dl. Grattdn- Bellew, a great grandson of Henry Gratton: Lord Carrick, Lord Fingall, « unionist peer; Lord Gormanster, un- jonist pesr; Lord Rossmore, unionist peer, and a dozen of men who are the lord-lieutenants for their countries. These persous, on the paper to which they subscribed, claimed that through u conference representative of all views and interests concerned, a solution of | the problem was probable; that the i Parli tool Troland: Bill, Ml passed into law, would pot afford a practival settloment; that the finaneis! provi- sions were faulty, and also the provi- sions for electing universities; that the completion of the land purchase was bill dealing with the government of irciand should contain provisions for the completion of land purchase by the imperial parliament, on the lines and 'in the spirit of the Aet of 1903; that the distortion and embitterment of: the whole gues{lon by a revival of DUNRAVEN'S B'D FOR PEACE. «as deeply deplored; that the signers isassociated themselves from the fear expressed with regard to Ulster that under apy system of Irish government Protestants would be exposed to in- Jutious and civie disturbance, that in iollérance or civil oppression was not w be feared. . Dealing with this issue the London Chronicle says the conference was not | cactionble. Some of the points rais- « 1 in the document have already been « isposed of, and appavently satisfac t orily, by parliament, and there does 1 ot seem to be any reason why the bill t ww so far advanced, should not be visposed of. The Land Purchase Act will be carried out in any case. That ix the pledge of the government, and in =tating this pledge Secretary Bur r il said that lamd purchase vas al nos, if not quite, as important as home rule. Mr. Redmond did not con- ens.
