As a consequence T-Bone Steaks have been scarce, and fhe epicures of Toronto, and other queenly centres cannot understand why there is a shortage of beef when there is 86 much of it walking around. _ The fact is that this is the farmers' innings. They are tired of receiving 'the lowest figure that world: markets afford. They are particularly tired of selling cheap to the packers for cold storage, when they know that in a month or so prices will rise and the packers will be able to sell dear to the consuming public.

The world is full of people who might be like Newton'secing the law of gravitation in the fall- ing apple; or the power of steam in the boiling tea kettle. Given the original facts, a working mind can produce wonders, and we have Burbank, Edison, Wright, Banting, and the host of 'seekers and thinkers who have enriched civilization and sometimes endangered it. © The miracle of re- search are the, marvels of the present age. But reading can do much more than reveal and suggest material facts. It can revolutionize our humanity aright. In fact it is now leading us along paths of peace by teaching us to under- stand our fellow men, rather than trying to master them by force. There is much truth in the Chinese claim that when two persons come to blows, in an argument, it is evident that they have run out of ideas. ~It requires a quick and discriminating eye to select one's reading from the flood of printed matter that comes to our hands day by day.

Ruggles. Everybody that can manage it eats three good meals a day--ns a matter of course. But many people do not feed their minds with any- regularity. There are three main ways in which to feed the mind. 1. By_observation. 2. By reading. 3. ~ By conversation. . Observation comes with training. It is natural with some, and difficult for others; but can al- ways be cultivated, adding much to the pleasure and safety of the observer. Training the eye to really see things is great fun, and sharpens the faculties of the mind; for every added piece, of truth acquired is a peg upon which can be hung Conversation is the exchange of ideas, It is the testing ground upon which we can prove the correctness or incorrectness of what we think. In more ways than one "Your speech betray- eth you" In a few unstudied sentences a man will generally reveal himself, and will decide his own standing in the social structure. If the average young- person were taught how to converse; how to feel at home in the company of others, there would be far less need for stimu- lants, to give him a false freedom of speech and action. N To fit ourselves to live happily and usefully in this very complicated world, reading of the better soit is of the greatest value. To live without it limits the circle of our friends and the enjoyments of ear, eye, and mind. . It would be unfair to belittle the value of the ) millions of industrious, honorable persons whose contribution to society is their steady labor pro: duct. Many of them have but little time to enter the three fields of mind enrichment. They know their own field and cultivate it well; but obser- vation, reading, and conversation are theirs in ise Rr much to their loss in pleasure and opportunity for service. Good reading is a fruitful source of ideas. the students, so that the visitors might seesthe processes. It is truly remarkable to note the variety of work being done in the school, as revealed by the exhibition. Home cconomics, under guidance of Miss Shaw, takes in the whole range of activities undertaken in the aver- age home. And they .are taught in the light of modern scientific research. Vitamins and calories in nutrition and bodily care have their proper setting in the preparation of food. The cour- tesies of table service, preparation of everyday meals and banquets--all the training that puts one at ease in polite sociecty--these receive due con- sideration. Actual cooking, real dish-' washing, laundering, and other home duties have their place in the study. | as was seen in the many fine samples in the seamtresses' art shown in the gymnasium. .
