Without doubt. the most significant
thing about our last census report was
the great growth of our urban popula-

and the census of 1910 will undoubtedly
show a still greater percentage of loss

The inspection of immigrants by

pointed out that immigration was re-

country has made, and that its best cit

Industries Are Valuable.
Far be it from me to decry the value
of great industries to a country 1t re-
ioices all of us to see how gradually
and surely we are conquering the
worlds markets with our manufactured
products. but indirectly in this suprem-
acy lies the greatest danger TO agricul-

Industrial age in a country is an era of
progress. They see that in this line
lies the power to peacefully conquer
the world, but they do not see, or else
they do not heed. that industry fostered
at the expense of agriculture is like
rearing a gigantic Samson and placing
him near the pillars of our institutions.
GENERALIZATION is the order of the
age, and within certain bounds and sub
ject to proper control. il is all right;
but il is all wrong if agriculture does
not flourish at it's side. We will go the
way of England if we encourage our
farmers TO desert the farm for the fac
tory. and it behooves us To make an
extra effort to enlarge our markets for
farm produce. to increase the number
of independent farms. and to improve

During the 10 years preceding, our
annual average export of wheat was

been steadily decreasing. The other
grains are losing ground likewise, an

In order to hold our foreign mar

1t is safe TO say that we can raise four
times as much produce on the same
land as We do now. All students of ag-
ricuiture agree that more can be pro-

There are two points of view from
which the public school system may
be considered. One, AID the more pop
ular, is to hail it as perfect; to laud
teachers for skill which they do not
possess. and in the nature of things,
could not have acquired in the time
they gave preparation; to think and
speak of fine building as a splendid
school complacently TO assure the tax
payers that all is well because they are

is to expose weakness, and diligently
seek for remedies The wise proceed
