The sturdy old stock of British origin who first trod _ the outstrotched prairies saved that part of the Doâ€" minion which is so necessary for Canâ€" ada‘s greatuess, eaid the speaker. The early settlers, the missionaries, and the North West Mounted Police all played their part in holding the West invlolate for Canada, That spirit will never be overthrown, it will remain so, declared Sir Robert. Quality of Education. The quality of our education has a distinct individuality of its own, said Mental Powers. The adjustment that must continuâ€" ally go on between the English and Frenchâ€"speaking sgections of Canada‘s population has left a great beneficial effect upon this country‘s citizens, deâ€" clared Sir Robert. The mental powers exerted to translate the ideas of one race into the language of another has been a highly educative process, since education is in a large measure moreâ€" ly a clarification of ideas, This has been going on all the time, and toâ€"day there is leoss clashing botween the two races, English and French, than there was 50 or 75 years ago, deâ€" clared the speaker, and the people are at the same time educated in a true service. The land, however, is not the maitn sourco of Canada‘s individuality, said the speaker. The variety of stock, the different races from which Canada doâ€" rives its national character has a very strong influence, VUnlike Australia, where from 95 to 97 per cent, of the people are British, said Bir Robert, Canada can trace its ancestry to sources, First there is «the h:x section, descendants of a fine quality of Godfearing peasant immigrants from Old France, and secondly, there As the Englishspeaking division of whom a large portion of its people came to Canada with a high moral purpose. _ For instance, the United Empire Loyalists, whose sense of} patriotism led thom to give up all, so F that they might follow their convicâ€" tions. s "w. _y Land of Dominion Places Its Stamp on Citizens, 3 He Says w That the Canadian people haro m distinct entity within themselves, 'le they are different from anybody els6, was the firm conviction expressed by Bir Robort Falconer, president of the University of ‘Toronto, speaking in‘ Montreal recently on "The Rlements of Canadian Nationality:" t Sir Robert said that he had come to the conclusion, after about 16 years of study and thought on the matior, | that Canadians have the right to be called a separate people and that this individuality is the outgrowth of cer« tain charactetristics, pecullar to Oan» ada an to the people, who have, since the first settloment was made down‘ in Nova Scotia, been coming to this land ever afterward. 4 3 Stamps Individuality. * It is the land that is stamping an individuality upon the people of Ogm ada, insisted Bir Robert, From thg beautiful valleys and historie coast of Nova Scotia, up the lous St, Lawrence Valley, through older settled parts of Ontario, into rugged wildness of New Ontario and around the mighty Lake Buperior, across the seaâ€"like prairies, into the mountain valleys of the Rockies and down the surging rivers of Canada‘s most western provinge until one sea coast of a mighty land is reached there is somsthing different all the way. This leaves its imprint on the soul and character of the Oanadian people, said Sir Robert, It is a land as beautiful as anyone might know.
