of Canada on the retirement Of Lord

Capitalize Your Beauty .

The "New York Evening Post"

telhgent country. In the West, too.
colleges have frequently sprung up in

plant "mere soulless laboratories -
as the Post" calls them, without a

We can readily imagine with what

yearning for the green woods and

architectural monstrosities created by
