A university will often outlive a nation or a dynasty or an economic system. Oxford University is older than English Parliamentary Government. The University of Paris is older than the modern French naâ€" tion and half a dozen times as old as the French Revolution, The Uniâ€" versity of Heidelberg isinearly ten times as old as the united Germany created by Bismarck.

One reason for not taking too gloomy a view of what hard times will do to our colleges is that instituâ€" tions of higher learning are very hard of the total mileage of railways in British India has a metalled road parallel and within ten miles of it, At the same time, large producing centres and ten of thousands of conâ€" siderable villages have no road conâ€" nections in the true sense at all.

It is to our mind of the first imâ€" portance that the establishment _ of control and coâ€"ordination should preâ€" cede the formulation of a general road policy; how is it possible to lay down a scientific road program until the transportation requirements have been detormined? Owing to cireumstances which could not be foreseen, our road system is unbalanced. The â€"great trunk roads were first built.. When the railways followed, they inevitably largely imitated the alignment of the roads.

If the Oxford Rhodes Scholars bring to this and other countries a certain atmosphere, a certain tone, a certain outlook upon life, a certain mature reflectiveness and strength of characâ€" ter, they will go far to satisfy the Rhodes ideal, and they will give a lead, whether they know it or not.

Their soulstirâ€" ring notes express intense feeling," while Shakespeare summed up the matâ€" ter shortly, when he said, "The lark at heaven‘s gate sings." The ingenuity of birds in nestâ€" building makes it impossible to. deny them a measure of reason, and many hare given their lives for their young when they could have escaped.

It is said of the nightâ€" ingale that if its mate is captured it l No Escape From News. It is one of the penalties of civiliâ€" zation that it becomes increasingly difficult to escape from news. There was a time when during an ocean voyage one could escape from the wheel of things, forget that people were doing lots and lots of things which were of no real interest, in fact take a complete holiday from the newspapers.

Coldest June 14 The growth of manufacturing is Canada is strikingly shown by the in wwease in the gross value of manufac turing production from $2,576,037,000 in 1921 to $4,063,987,000 in 1929. The increasing importance of the part played by manufacturing in the econ: omi¢ life of the country may be meas ured by the contribution made by it to the net production of all branchei of industry compared with that made by agriculture. In 1921 agriculture v.as the source of 38.8 per cent. of the net production, while 40.9 per vcent. esme from manufactures. In 1923 the proportion due to agriculture was 26.2 per cent. and that to manufac tvres 50.61 per cent. In 1930 there was a decline in the gross value of â€"ranufactures produced, but the share of manufactures in the net production of the Dominion rose to 54.78 per cent. June "bugs" or beetles in their ows right are ordinarily considered as be ing more of a nuisance to human be ings than a menace to plants, How ever, the Entomological Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture The increasing importance of manuâ€" factures in Canada‘s export trade is clear from a review of the relative parts played by fully manufactured _r,uodl and by raw materiis during the last decade. These figures ar« znalyzed year by year by the Domin ion Statistician, and the latest figures available are those for the fiscal year 1932. In that year fully manufacturâ€" ed goods accounted for 45 per cent of Canada‘s exports and raw materâ€" ials for 38 per cent. This was an adâ€" vance of 4 per cent. over 1922 in the proportion â€" of fully manufactured guods among exports, and a decline of about 6 per cent. in the proportion of raw materials. Dominion Bureau of Statis tics Notes RecentImâ€" provement Canadian manufacturers have this year shown a tendency towards greatâ€" er activity, this being particularly evident in recent months, An improve ment in manufacturing is, of course of significance owing to the increas ing importance which manufactures have achieved in Canadian economic life. This is shown by the rapid growth of manufacturing industries ir the postâ€"war development of the Dominion, and also by the relative rise of manufacturing products as an element in export trade. The worldâ€" wide reaction of the past few years has, naturally, been reflected in less ened values for the products of Canâ€" adian manufactvres, but it is obvious t_at the decline was obnormal and that a still greate: future is before this branch of Canadian industry. Evidence of the recent improvement in manufacturing in Canada is pro vided by the indices of physical vol ume of production computed by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, The index of manufacturing production in cluded in this series not only shows an advance in the last few months, bLI Increased Activity In Manufactures exhibits a change of direction Am trend compared with ‘ st year, Last year the April index at 66.5 was beâ€" low not only March, but January and February as well, This jear there was a decline Zrom 62.2 in January to 58.17 in February, but in March the index, which is so constructed as to allow for seasonal changes, rose to 62.7 and in April to 66.8. It will be seen that at this figure it was in adâ€" vxmnce of April, 1932. Improvement during the current year has been ob servable particularly in food products, boots and newsprint.
