That vocal music should be taught in our schools is desirable, but is not inc‘lispensable. As a matter of fact it. is not taught to any appreciable extent in many or our public schools except where teachers are. specially qualified and enthusiastic in this respect, or in cities or large towns where a specialist in music cam be employed to devote Whole. or part. time to the subject. A temporary arrangement is sometimes made to have 31 spec- ialist. devote an hour or two a week to the smaller schools. All teachers. as part 01' their professional training. are. required to study music amt to pass an examination in the. subject. All teachers should then be qualified to teach music to a reasonable ex- ?tent. as far. in fact. as their pupils are qualified to go in the time that. can be at’luu'tioneol to it.

Road Advertising Signs Music in Schools Courtesy Common Sense will prevent most discussing. newspapers and editorial pages saying, “many" of the weekly newspapers that come to this office contain a considerable amount of editorial matter. They are the papers that we prize the most and we look forward totheir coming each week. In some of the towns where they are published we know no person except the editors them- selves. Therefore the news pages are not of so much interest. ut that does not lessen the interest in the editorials. even when they deal with local matters. They are op- inions. and if we?! expressed, are worth studying.” This leads us to quote William McDonald -of the Chesley Enterprise as making the claim that “the weekl ' papers were far ahead of the ailles at present in as far as editorials are concerned.” and to quote Stewart ,I.yon, former editor of The 610138. *"the editorial was the original newspaper. Men who had opinions to express and found any other means either dangerous or useless, started the first. newspapers. They were one hundred per cent. editor- ial matter. A hundred years ago, and even later. this was still true to a large extent, although the per- centage had drOppea. Still the edi- torial portion was the main feat- ure." The editorial column cer-‘ tainly has its value and in live weeklies should have its place.â€" Collingwood Bulletin. The Adolescent School Act The over crowded condition in secondary schools here and there throughout Ontario has directed attention to the Adolescent Act which compels boys and girls to continue at school until sixteen years of age. In general the Act is termed ill advised while the opinion is also held that it is not working to the best advantage of the pupils. The Orillia Packet- Times, for example says, “for our part. we always looked upon the Adolescent Act as illogical. in that it set an age, rather than a scholas- tic standard. The. State is justified in requiring that its youth shall have enough education to enable them to fulfil the duties of citizen- ship. But some will acquire this minimum at an earlier age than others. Moreover. the backward scholar will benefit. more from a system which enables them to make some use of their hands. than from the regular cultural course in the Collegiate Institute. This could be arranged for in the public schools. It has been found that. interest of the dull scholar who has grown tired of school is greatly stimulat- ed when he is permitted to mix manual work with book studies.” Then it somewhat sarcastically adds "at the present time Ontario is dealing more sensibly and suc- cessfully with training of the feeble minded than with the pro- blem ot' the backward scholar in its public schools.â€" Collingwood Bulletin.

Hans von Hindenburgh, grand- nephew of the president of the German republic, was presented on his third birthday with one of the woolly dogs which the ex-kaiser is making during his long days 1n exile at Doorn. Agricultural conditions in On- tario have been convalescing rapid- ly these past. two weeks. Figura- tively speaking. the attack of spring “flu” was almost. disastrous; or. at least, it. appeared that way for a time. The wheat sufl‘ered most. but meadows and pastures. with legume plants heaved out and lxin: 0n the ground presented a sorrx sight. Even dandelions and thistles on the \Veldwood Farm lawn \\ ere observed to be project- ml into the air as though they had been pulled out with an invert- ed_hot bottle, like a boil is drawn. But there were compensating features. The spring frosts helped to pulverize the soil. and in the absence of pelting rains the fields worked up splendidly, Seed went into a good seedâ€"bed. and now all rrops are. responding to the effect. of heat. andmoistm-e.

The Weed Control Act seeks to control this menace. Municipal councils and officers have important responsibilities in carrying out this act. Weeds on highways must be de' stroyed by the “Road Authority.” Weeds else- where must be destroyed by the owner or occu’ pier of the land. An Inspector shall be appointed by each municipal council to see that these terms are complied with. ’ Most civic bodies are energetically discharging this obliga’ tion and when action is not being taken, residents should communicate with the members of their municipal council. Every precaution is needed to wipe out the weed menace. Clean seed plus weed destruction at the proper time to prevent spread of weed seeds will bring your district greater profits from clean successful crops.

This is quoted from a‘ New York despatch without comment, but it necessarily reminds us of Canada’s two great poultry breeding policies viz, Registration and Record of Per- formance. Canda is the only country admit- ting the hen to National Live Stock Records. . This is done through the Registration pohcy,_and consists of the making of official qualifying records under Government super- vision through the medium of E g Laying Contests. conducted on t e Dominion _E_xper1mental_ Farms» .. “New and improved species of chicken will in the near future”, according to Dr. W._H.

The pellcy is ad- mmistered by the Dommion Live Stock Branch. Both policies are to encourage pedigree breeding of poultry for production, and to originate a source of supply of male‘birds of known ancestry. The use of such males will be one of the great fac- tors in Canadian poultry develop- ment, increasing as .it must the average flock production, and as a result increasing the revenue, and making even more profitable an already prosperous industry. Pedigree breeding is the surest, safest, and sanest way to develop the poultry industry. The Division of Botany, Central Experimental Farm Ottawa, will list applications or inspection, free of charge, of plots planted With Certified Seed potatoes, with a view to certification. Applications must be made, on ‘the proper form provided, and be received for list- ing not later than June 15, in order to receive _free inspection. -. FREE FIELD INSPECTIONS CERTIFIED SEED POTATOES Applications received after that date cannot be guaranteed inspec- tion. Where possible, inspection may be granted late applicants, but only on their agreeing to pay all (Experimental Farms Note) costs inpurred by .the inspector in connectlon with his visits. application forms may be obâ€" tamed from Mr. O. W. Lachaine’, District Inspector, c/p Horticultur- al Department, Ontarlo Agricultur- al College Guelph, ‘Ont., and will be accepted. at the same address for llsting for mspection. It is not the chief purpose of the Department of Agriculture to en- courage growers to plant certified seed with a view to having their crops inspected for certification purposes, because every potato- grower has not {the necessary ,atience and the time, or suitable ocation and equipment for grow- ing certified seed. The object rather is to have growers plant the best seed obtainable for their commer- cial crop, and to help keep down to a minimum destructive plant dis- eases with their resultant serious efl’ect on yields. It is desirable to obtain greater acre-yields and so to reduce the cost of production. The use of certified seed on many farms would double the yields now being obtained.
