the high school could become more
democratic. He remarked that the stu
dentship at the first of the year was
far from being up to the standard, but
that 1t is gradually improving. Then
he spoke on athletics and oratory for
the coming year. He thought that
the outlook for the high school to hold
the same position in these lines as 1t
did last year, is as bright as 1t ever
was. Several have already stated their
intentions of entering the oratorical
contest. The feeling the other schools
have towards Hammond and the de-
sire to put her down a notch in both
athletics and oratory, was also en-
phasized by him.

The hour of closing the ex- hibftion had been extended for an hour to ii D. m. By that time the police had been dealing with the crowd. the disordcriy element in which probably numbered one or two hundred youths, for over an hour. Their patience was but iIi-rewarded. and closing time having been reached the method of dealing with the crowd known as '.the drive" was adopted. Firmly the crowd was pressed back towards the exits Tn this work the services of the mounted police were invaluable. for the IoIterere did not stop to argue the point with the horses 4 large mart of the crowd was pressed grad ualiy through the Murrayfield gate, which was then closed.

THE DUMAS SERIOUS WORK. Considering Laws to Regulate q

EG@8AMtM.
 St. Petersburg, Nov 2s-ThA Durna has begun the serious work of the new session of the agrarian question, probably the most important and in- tricate subject which can occupy the attention of the representatives of a great agricultural country like Russia. The debate, which in all probability will last ssveraI weeks. for no fewer than 213 members of the Duma have notified their intention of speaking, hinges upon the temporary law promul- gated in 1908, whereby communal ten ure of land among the peasantry is to he gradually superseded by indtvidu- al peasant proprietorship at the op- ton of the members of the villages 5ommunes.
 The temporary law In question. a right to have the commune and set up farming on their own account, is on its trial, and the Duma has to approve, amend. or reject 1t. Many tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of peasants have already taken ad- vantage of the law. and the great question now is, whether 1t is to the benefit or detriment of the Russian peasant, in his present degraded con dition. Many members of the puma regard one single agrarian law for inc great variety of conditions of the vaat Russian empire as an absurdity others believe that the degradation ana iupoverishment of the peasantry are to be remedied by the abolition of the government monopoly of the sale of splrituous liquor. which has only increased the consumption of vod- ka to the extent of 213 000, 900 roubles additional revenue in the course of four years. while there IS also an onin-

The use of these trophies as missiles came in later.
