This gives the whole country the benefit of the strong points of the whole staff, for one man is strong in mathematics and another in science and so on. Then any little trouble between the inspector and the rate- payers is ended by the change. This system has worked wonderfully well. SCHOOL LANDS The doctor explained that when a new school sectiOn is formed in the west, two sections of land or 1280 m .m set apart in the section as an endowment. There are now 11 milli0n acres of those school lands, which are every day increasing, and will insure permanent support for education in the west.

Britain should have secured that strip of Russian tertiary shutting out northern Can- ada, from the Pacific. at the close of the Crimean war when she had her enemy trimmed to a. finish. Though in high latitudes the Can- aidiaa Northwest was of very tempa-v ate climate. This muted from the ocean currents, the heartless 91 the mountains to the sea and the con- sequent rush over them of the sea breezeâ€"a rush madeall the easier by the comparative lowness of the Can- adian Rockies and their passes. The northern Pacific was so land-locked that icebergs could not come dOWn from the Artics and chill the air as they do on the east. There were 300 ihours more sunlight there than here in a year. The colonel had slept out in the Peace River district as late as December 8rd. The frost went deep and when it left the sur- face the grain was sown and its roots were long in touch with the cool moisture from the frost beneath; hence drought was almost impossible” The prize wheat at the World's Fair had been grown 140 miles northwest of Battlelord where 49-pound oats grow. In his lecture the colonel mention- ed a number of prosperous North- westerners who formerly. lived in this part of Ontario. Among them were Mr. McTasgfl't of Kirkfield, Mr. Goodfellow of Cavan. now Indian agent, Jas. Suddaby of Burnt River and Mr. Shaver of Kirkfleld.
