he SCHOOLS OF
WESTERN CANADA
Some Of the Cities and Towns the
School Buildings Cannot Accom-
modate the Increasing Num-
bers.

One of the most important factors
the building Of new country is
le attention that is paid by the au-
lorities to the education of the rising
sneration. Fortunately for western
anada, the settlement of that new
0untry began in such recent years
nat 1t was able to lay foundation
pr this work, gained by the expert
nee Of older countries. In this way
he very best is the result. Through
ut the entire country are to be seen
le most improved style of architec-
ire in school buildings. The cities
nd towns vie with each other in the
forts to secure the best of accom-
lodation and at the same time get
architectural lines that would appeal.
efficient to say that nowhere is there
ne greater attention paid to elemen-
ary and advanced education than in
7estern Canada. A report just to
and shows that in Calgary, Alberta,
here are eighty teachers employed,
nd the enrolment 1925 pupils. In
he Province of Alberta there was a
otal of $4,000 pupils attending schools
n 1909 The total enrolment for the
ear in city. town and village schools
vas 22,883. and the total in rural
chools was 23165. There are in the
province $40 schools with 1928 de-
|,artments At the close of 1909 there
vas total of 1,096 school districts in
he province. Great attention Is paid
.lso to agricultural education. The
matters as tend to make the agricul-
ure less of a drudge and more of a
success are employed. When there
s the combination of good SOIL SPLEEN
Hid climate and healthy and advanced
IDEAS in the methods employed in
agriculture, We see accomplished the
results that have placed western Can
ada on it's present high plane in the
agricultural world. There is to be
found men of high standing In liter
AIRY spheres as well as In financial
circles who are carrying on farming,
not alone for the pleasure they de-
rive but for the profit they secure.
Mr.. Adler, wide-awake business man
of New York, has ranch near Strath-
more, Alberta He is highly pleased
with his success the past year. He
says:
On July 25th we estimated our crop
at 5000 bushels of wheat. A week
later we increased our estimate to
10000 bushels. A few days later we
again increased our estimate, this
time to $4,000 bushels, but after har-
vest in September we found we had
&c, $50 bushels. II that isn't q record,
what is?" he asked.
This crop was made with practi-
cally no moisture" he continued, and
We now have better opinion of the
fertility of Alberta lands than ever
and value our lands higher than we
ever did before"
Mr.. Adler, who has been on the
ranch for about a week, leaves for
New York Saturday.
This gentleman is conducting farm
on large scale, and has plenty of
means to develop it, and his may not
be taken as a fair case. There are,
though, instances Of thousands who
have begun life on small farms in
western Canada with but brains and
the determination over and above the
couple of hundred dollars in ready
money that they possessed, and today
are owners Of large farms and hand
some incomes, all the result of their
efforts on land that was responsive to
the touch of the hand that held the
plow. Instances such as these can be
quoted if you will communicate with
the nearest Canadian government
agent. who will also mail you free de-
Bcriptive literature.
