SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 20, 1920

There are still millions Of acres OF
priyately-owned and "railway-owned
lands open to general settlement near
the railways, and the situation mas
heen helped by the Hudson Bay
Company, which is closing out to
farm settlers some 100000 acres
throughout the three prairie provin-
ces, all Of which is convenient 10
railway lines.
The action of the government IN
opening Indian reservations Is to pro.
vide more farms for soldiers located
close to railway transportation lines.
In it's other soldier settlement pro-
gram the government has followed
out a policy of placing service men
only on farms contiguous to rail-
WAYS and has refrained from setting
soldiers on remote frontier districts.
In carrying out this plan practically
all the crown lands near railways
have been exhausted.

This Old Earth.

In a recent lecture Sir Oliver Lodge,
the eminent English scientist who is
now visiting America, announced that
the earth would probably continue to
exist for 2OOOO,0O0 years more. These
are, of course, round numbers. Some
scientists estimate that the earth will
live for ten times this age. There have
been animals of one kind and another
on this planet for fully this length Of
time. The dinosaurs are believed to
have lived through some such period.
The age of man, which is probably only
a few thousand years, seems the mer-
est trifle by comparison. When we
consider how man has developed dur
ing recorded history, which is hess than
ten thousand years, we may hope that
he will evolve to an infinitely finer type
In the future.-Boys' Life.

INDIAN RESERVES TO

or,oin Of the Word Canada.

The origin Of the word Canada IS
obscure, but it is now generally &C
cepted that it is derived from ap In
dian word, "Kannatha," meaning a
village or collection Of buts, and it Is
supposed that Jacques Cartier, hear
ing this word used by the Indians with
reference to their settlements, mistook
its meaning, and applied it to the
whole country. Quebec is said to be
derived from the Indian word eKebec,"
meaning a strait, and was given to
the site Of the present city of Quebec
from the peculiar conflguration Of the
st. Lawrence river at that point, for
the river there grows narrow and from
its deep waters rises the bold height
on which the ancient city stands.

were going to ask our school management some
day when they we're in good humor: The question
was this: "Why does the graduating class Of Be
midi for 1920 number only thirty when Fergus
Falls has IS graduates Thief River Falls sc, Crooks
ton IS, Red Wing As. Brainerd over 40 and other
towns Bemidjis size from forty-fve up?"
We do not believe the answer lies in any de-
fciency the part of the instructors the school
board. It seems to lie with the parents. When
so much space has been given by the press Of the
city to the school proposition, when the school board
has spent so much time and taken the pains they
have to put the present conditions Of the schools
up to the people, when the school faculty have had
essays prepared by pupils and published in the city
press.
When hundreds of the citizens were given the
opportunity to view pictures of crowded school
rooms and inadequate equipment in the same and
when the children were asked specially to request
their parents to demonstrate their ideas by straw
vote the school problem, and then-two hundred
and forty-three out of possible vote Of eighteen
hundred more show their interest in the matter
by voting we are just wondering how many votes
would have been cast if none of these publicity
measures had been taken. We hate to think what
the vote might have been.
But the bonds carried almost two to one, show
ing at least that the sentiment is largely in favor
of giving to their children better chance to
an even race with the boys and girls Of the rest
of the world.
Never was more apt illustration given of the
handicap under which many pupils are working
than that of Prof J. c. Brown, president of the
St. Cloud Normal school, last evening in his COM
mencement address, when he painted the picture
of boy and. girl in the race being handicapped
by having to carry 6fty-pound weight in the race
while the others the race unencumbered.
We must not have our boys and girls carrying
the weight in their through life We must
provide them with the best equipment possible and
give them an even chance with their competitors.
