Those books have been placed in our school, but we have many other good things to be had under the British flag, ~our only fault would be that they are not taught to the youngest pupil in school, instead of starting with the second book. Those who have made a study of the time that instruction leaves the 'most last- ing impression on the minds, say it is before 11 years of age. We fancy people in some countries, especially our neighbors to the south, act on some such theory, and start with patriotic training in kindergarten schools, before they have started with other studies. They are told beautiful little stories about their country, what a great and free place it is for little folks, what it has done in the past and is going to do in the future; teach‘them to draw a picture of their flag, and tell what every mark on it represents: also to set one up in the middle of their playground, and the first thing to do when they go . for holidays is to draw out their flag and play around it. The source from which we gained a part of this knowledge was from pupils from different cities in the United States. From the ages of seven to eleven years. the youngest knew it all just as well as the oldest, and. just as firmly set in their belief. These were children of ultra British parents, and while the parents’ words went in ev- erything else. their teachers were considered the authorities on school matters, and the implicit. faith in the teacher caused us to realize the importance of always engaging teachers of the right faith, and the illustration caused ns to think Canadian schools. lack- Mr. Fred McArthur has an around the neighborhood for the cast two weeks, pruning trees.

In normal times our exports have ' an annual value of almost half a billion dollars, of which those to countries not British had a value last, year or almost two hundred million dollars. .3 Thoseto the Russian Em~ [mire ,had .a ~valtne‘l‘m $1,430,430; of ' i which $1,140,430 repres'e'ned the , value of agricultural implements. Al-‘ 1 ready Canadian trade is on the right ‘ track. Let it follow it with vigor and 'supply to a large extent the needs: . of the Russian farmers. ’ Of the exports of agricultural im- plements to Russia from Canada har- vesters led, with almost half 3. mil- lion dollars; drills were second, wiah almost three hundred thousand dol- lars; mowing machines third, with one hundred and twenty-eight thous- and; and 0-9. remainder of these ex- ports consisted of cultivators, reap- ers, ploughs, harrows and so forthâ€" the implements in use on every well- conducted Canadian farm. Canadian manufacturers can make these implements as well as they can be made anywhere; and for many years Russia will be buying these implements in very large quantities. Canadian manufacturers already have a share in this trade, and if they take full advantage of their oppor- tunities they should increase their share enormously.-â€"Montreal Stand- ard. Many minor operations have been performed and numerous molars have been sacrificed by recruits at Welland, Ont., that they might pass the medical examinations necessary to join the various contingents, but William Ritson has gone the others one better. When he volunteered he was rejected owing to the fact that he had a hammer toe on“ each foot. Not to be denied his desire to fight the Germans he submitted to an operation by which the offending toes were amputated. Fully recovered from the operation, he was accepted and is now a member of the third contingent, joining '.the quota from the 44th Regiment. .A.-..‘.Q..~s, . C. Hamilton Wakes, trade commis- sioner in Canada, addressing the Lon- don Chamber of Commerce on the promotion of trade with Canada, re- cently, said: “The Briton as a manu- facturer, was without a peer, but as a salesman he was unskilled and ap- parently indifferent, and suffered by comparison with his foreign competi- tors. Indeed, it was only the consis- tent quality of British goods that had upheld the British manufacturer against the competition of the last twenty years. So far as Canada is concerned, the British manufacturer had not only to meet European, but American competition, and the Amer- ican had the advantage of the Briton both strategicall; and geographic lly Proximity, fashion, and standardi a- tion all combined to ai-.'. the American exporter in the Canadian market. But, however advantageous the posi- tion of the American manufacturer might be, for the reasons already giv- en, that alone dié not account for their enormous preponderance in the Canadian market. There might be another reasonâ€"their selling and marketing conditions might be better suited to the Canadian conditions than our own." Russia has long been a great wheat-producing country, part of her , surplus of foodstuffs, going, like our own supplies of like goods, to the! markets of Great Britain. An era; of better agricultural methods had' set in before the war, and when the war has ended the era will continue. This war, which for Russia is being fought to ensure to the Slavonic peo- ples the place in Europe to which, they are entitled. will bring about a great awakening in the ~vast empire. of the Czar. Russia is going to se- cure better ports, ’agricultural pro- duction will be stimulated, and her need or agricultural implements will steadily increase and 'be enormous for many years. And it is ' with respect to that demand that Canada will have an opportunity of . increasing her exports to Russia. 5 Their own country is so vast and; its agricultural resources so great. that Canadians are sometimes apt to I forget that there are others. All the same there are others, and Russia is one of them. Possibly no other . country possesses equal agricultural. resources, and, like our own, they have drawn on only to a small extent in comparison with their possibili-' ties. l Big Opportunity Is Opening Up In Russian Market. Looking forward to the days of peace that wil; follow the war, our House of Commons the other after- noon saw in the future bright pros- pects of an increased trade with Rus- sia, where certain of our exports should find a wider and a very profit- able market. Russia has always bought many lines of manufactures, and some of thOSo lines Canada is as well qualified to supply as is any other country. Writing from Moscow, a British consul has directed the attention of his countrymen to the wide market that is opening to them and exhorts them to study the conditions of that market so as to be in a position to meet its requirements and satisfy the demands of the Russiar people, eager to free themselves from the grip of German manufacturers, or at any rate eager to so conduct their busi- ness in the future as to be financially and industrially independent of Ger- many, now Russia’s deadly enemy, and always her rival. In the past Germany to a consid- erable extent has kept Russia in leading strings, both industrially and financially. Berlin has been Russia’s banker, and the factories of East tures. The war will end all that- of course it has ended it temporarily and it will end it permanently, pro- vided other countries are prepared to step in and supply the goods Russia will require.
