Judging | by statistics which have been compiled at various times 'it looks as if it } would also be necessary to select the | country as a birthplace. A very large! percentage of prize winners in col- ] leges come from the farms. The ma- | jority of merchant princes and pro- fessional leaders get their start in the contry or small towns. The mojority of the United States presidents, it is said, were farm bred. This makes a good cage for the farm as a factor in national life. - Yet how often the whole rural world is looked upon with more The city head is apt to say to the country foot, "I have no need of you." Or it is as if the branches of the trees said, "We have no need of the roots." There is no intrinsic superiority' of the 'rural world over the urban. If conditions offer more for the nascent' boy life than urban the rea- sons shoudl be patent to all who can look a little below the surface. - Some [<1 planation of the country boy's success are that he has learned to do things; all kind of things, some pleasant and some disagreeable. He learns for the : most part to do them cheerfully. His chores come night and morning, rain or shine, mud or dust. His sense of duty is well. disciplined: © When. he comes into contact with city life he is not likely to. ask for favors. He knows how. to be his own servant and His physical backbone is developed, and in many cases where his ambition to move on- ward is strong, his moral backbone is likewise developed.

Collyer, publisher and gentleman sportsman, recently returned from a protracted visit in the Dominion. Writing editorally in his own news- papers, Collyer's Eye and The Referee Mr Collyer says: ; "Behind the sojourn on a ranch in Alberta, Canada, of the future king of Great Britain, is doubtless a politi- cal motive of the greatest importance to the English-speaking peoples on both sides of the big water.
