After |on¢-m¢yo¢uoeomhmn; stored province, and after questioning thousands of peasant and townsfolk, a recommendation has been made to the French goyernment urging that no efâ€" fort be made to prohibit the teaching of German in the schools of Alsace, but that greater effort be made to teach the people the beauties of the FWrench tongue and literature, at the same time recognizing the dialect of Alsace as the language of a people which has shown heroic fAdelity to France 8 ki ki uce ie atanes t Np satian phrasings, undeniably the bfi-‘ cal product of enforced bilingualism, has been strengthened by M. Eugene Gerber, who at Dambech has inaugurâ€" ated an open air theatre, in which only plays will be produced in the Alsatian tongue. But this effort, while meeting with popular appreciation, is not desâ€" tined to have great effect, as it is reâ€" cognized that the dialect, although convenient for folklore and the daily speech of family life, does not lend it self readily to literature. Teach French to New Pupiis The educational problem is exceedâ€" ingly complex. Few of the Alsatian teachers were able to instruct in French; those who had had any preâ€" vious training in French schools were only able to teach imperfectly. Moreâ€" over, a large percentage of the Alsatâ€" ian children at the conclusion of the @rM y M n order to bridge this difficulty it |: ; been decided to commence the | ching of French as soon as the puâ€" s enter the schools. _ German will t appear in the curriculam until the irth year, when, thanks to the simiâ€" ity of the dialect and German voâ€" bularv, rapid progress may be atâ€" ned in both the national and ovincial tongues. In short, the French have realized t it is unwise to expect the patrioâ€" : cltizens of Alsace to give up a eech which meets with all the conâ€" tions of life so close to the Rhine, d which, even in the seventeenth ntury, was more extensively used n either French or German. If after e Prusstan victory of 1871 the Gerâ€" : had not made the use of German mupulsory to the exclusion of French e dialect might gradually have dls-i peared; but such a solution is now ipo=s{ble.

Despite theâ€" extonsive publicity which has been given to the advanâ€" tages of planting shelterâ€"belts on the prairies, and to the assistance offered by the Dominion Forestry Branch to farmers who wish to establish them, there is still misapprehension in reâ€" gard to the methods to be followed. , The Forestry Branch distributes anâ€" nually, free of charge, about 5,000,000 trees and cuttings. Each applicant is given sufficient trees to plant about half an acre annually if he follows the methods â€" which experience has shown to be necessary for success. When planting & shelterâ€"belt, care should be taken to so locate it that it will protect the home and stock from prevailing winds. Sufficient space should be left between the shelâ€" terâ€"belt and the buildings to keep the snow from drifting around the buildâ€" ings and to give room for a lawn and garden. Many failures have resulted from planting on soil not properly prepared, and, to insure as far as possible the success of the trees sent out, the Forâ€" etry Branch stipulates that the land be summerâ€"fallowed the year previous to planting. In order that the plantâ€" ers may have the benefit of personal instruction, inspectors of the Forestry Branch visit each applicant before the trees are furnished. To secure trees for planting in the spring of 1921 it is necessary that apâ€" plication be made before March 1, 1921, to the Forest Nursery Station, Indian Head, Sask. A v-e;i' instructive bulletin entitled "Tree Planting on the Prairies" is isâ€" sued by the Forestry Branch.

Taschereau, Premier of Quebec, in makipg his initial address FREQUENT BEADACHES People with thin blood are much ore subject to hend_u:hes than fullâ€" as Premier, cutlined his policy in reâ€" gard to the natural resources of the: province. He said, in part: ‘ "The first article of my programme 20. . will be a zealous care and vigorous conservation of our natural resources. We have 80,000,000 acres of unleased forests which need fire protection. Hydroplanes have begun their patrol to locate fires at the outâ€" set. They will be supplemented by observation posts with wireless teleâ€" graphy. "The time has come, it appears to me, to regulate the cutting of limits by fixing a minimum of the annual cut to prevent the destruction of the forests and a minimum to stop specuâ€" lation and a reasonable revenue from the cutting rights. Reforestation should be immediately undertaken and encouraged with energy. "Relative to this important question of our natural resources, my proâ€" gramme may be briefly summarized as follows: To draw from our immense natural resources all that they should and can give, open wide our doors to capitalists, discuss their plans in a businessâ€"like manner, and, when our answer is in the negative, to tell them right away, and when their projects are good, to accept them without any delay."

Of the balance, 190,000,000 acres, some 30,000,000 acres lie within fifteen miles of these railway© lines waiting for settlers. "Thinkâ€"of it," says Col. Dennis, "and the world crying out for food." His view is that while Canada has won a standing among the nations by her work in the recent war so that toâ€"day the name "Canadian" is recognized as distinguishing a citizen of a progres-} sive and virile country, Canada‘s share in the great struggle has involved her in financial obligations which can only be met and discharged by increasing her population and developing her vast | natural resources which, while ample | security for many times her war debt, .must be made productive of wealth | through development. % f TI0O ARCHIVES TORONTO Between 1905 and 1914 about 2,-‘ 500,000 people settled in Canada, the largest proportion in the four wemmI provinces. They left Great Britain, the Unted States and other countries for their new home, and Col. Dennis beâ€" lieves that 500,000 each year may folâ€" low them until these provinces have a total population of 10,000,000.

It connoted stinginess and a provincial thrift, spies in the guise of Government inspectors, hateful inâ€" terferences with individual enterprise | and initiative, governmental haltings' and cowardices, and all the constricâ€". tions of an arrogant, narrow, and academicâ€"minded bureaucracy which cannot think largely and feels no reâ€" sponsibility for national progress. The word should â€" mean helpfulness, not hindranceâ€"helpfuiness to all who wish to use‘a resource and think in larger terms than that of the greatest immediate profit; hindrance only to those who are spendthrift.
