of living and of making living, from
which came the popular demands that
gave color to the education of our early
schools, the same color that our edu-
cation wears to-day, have changed
and are changing radically, and the
practical possibilities OF even greater
changes in the near future are as
sured.
The life of our people on this conh-
nent began with the stern struggle 10
wrest from nature the bare necessities
of living. and this was but renewal
in America of a struggle as old as the
human race. This struggle we have
continued to the present day. No Won
der that our dominant interests and
aspirations are centered in material
things.
Until very recent times the struggle
in this country was almost purely IN
dividualistic; every man for himself
America, the land of individual oppor-
tunity! The raw materials OF nature
We're at hand for the use of everybody;
the degree of prosperity that any man
might achieve was limited but limited
only by the mans own efforts. There
was little room for dispute or uncer-
tainty concerning the ownership or
enjoyment Of the proceeds of individual
eXertions.
This type of individual struggle for
individual, material returns has inevi-
tably reflected itself in the dominant
color of our public education, the color
of individual success, expressed in ma
terial achievements.
But those primitive conditions Of in
dividual success are largely and in
creasingly of the past. Natures raw
materials lie freely at the hands of few
to-day; isolated, individual labors,
where possible, accomplish little. Co
operation is to-day Indispensable; the
extent of harmonious cooperation is
already the measure of achievement;
it's Importance is bound to increase
rapidly.
For the first time in recorded human
history we have in America the unique
spectacle of an immense, populous ma
tion in which there is an abundance of
all the elements required to provide
not merely the necessities of life but
comforts and even luxuries in gener-
Gus measure. The raw materials are
at hand in almost limitless variety and
abundance; human intelligence ex-
pressed in scientific discoveries, inven-
tions, effective organization and admin
istrative control. and especially in the
iron man of rapidly growing efficiency
such intelligence is also at hand in
increasing abundance

Our public schools are popular insti-
tutions, in every sense of the term;
they are the creation of the people;
they are supported by the people; they
are made to serve the interests and
demands Of the people. These interests
and demands are fundamentally, over
whelmingly-may we not say increas-
ingly?-the demands of business, of
material prosperity.
Just review the important develop
ments, the recognized improvements in
public education in the last twenty
five years--not to go back of the ex-
periences and memories of the present
adult generation. There is not one of
those important developments which
make up the educational progress of
the last quarter century that does not
represent business demand. that does
not maintain itself and justify itself
chiefly in terms of it's contribution to
material prosperity.

Mr. Maxwell Graham, director of
park animals. who has given many
years study to the breeding expert
ments. states that in the matter Of
ruggedness both these types of ami
NAL are equal to the buffalo. They do
not drift before a storm as range cat
tie do, and are not susceptible to dis
case. The herd owned by the Govern
ment has never had any infectious
disease. In the matter of rustling
they are equal TO the buffalo and
thrive on comparatively poor pasture.
They live without shelter on the AL
berta plains and only a few times
have been fed hay during one winter
when the snow was very deep.
A careful examination OF the herd
in the autumn of 1919--a particularly
good test year-showed these animals
to be in much higher flesh than do
mestic cattle foragins on the same
range; their condition was outstand-
ingly good. considering the very dry
season and poor pasture.
The main purpose of this breed

TO be a race of animals of good beet

part Of the prairie provinces and

such an enormous range OF excellent
quality supporting nothing but where
cattle breeding does not and never
will exist. owing to the need of win

cattle require. Buffalo at the present

For now there is not only great

killed themselves in their struggles
while they were being dragged aboard
the cars with block and tackle. The
special train carrying them made bet
ter time than an express, and the
animals, once loaded. arrived at the
park with a loss of less than one
half of / per cent. This herd was
added to by thirty more from a pfi-
vate herd at Kalsspel and other
sources. bringing the total up to $50
in 1910. which increased to 5000 by
1922.
The possibilities of a new type Of
animal to be obtained from mating
buffalo and domestic cattle. type
with the good qualities of both COM
bined, were thought about by various
men as far back as 1885. But not
until the late Mr.. Mossom Boyd of
Bobcaygeon, Ont, began experiment
ing in 1894 was any great progress
made. By mating a pure buffalo bull
with various domestic COWS he sue
ceeded in building up a herd Of diff
ferent types of a new race of ami
mails. Upon his death. in 1915. the
Department of Agriculture purchased
from his estate twenty head OF
hybrids and cattaloes. These were
brought to Wainwright Park and
placed in an inclosure adjoining the
buffalo range.
A hybrid is a half buffalo half do
mestic cow. A cattalo is the offspring
of two hybrids. Both of this new race
have great many points which make
them valuable animals to foster. The
hides are of fine texture, minging
beauty with serviceabilty, valuable
for coats and robes. commanding from
$50 to 800. according to size and con-
dition. 1t is hoped in the near future
to place them upon the market.

herd numbered $50. From this ii will
be seen that in twelve years the ami
mails have increased eight times their

what has been accomplished in the
way of breeding new types of beef pro-
ducers of hardy constitution and the
story of what further types are being
planned by Government officials to
range the semi-Arctic plains of Can
ada unassisted in any way by man. a
brief history of the near extinction
of the bison and how it was saved is
here given.
From this story better realization
may be gained how great has been the
work accomplished by the Canadian
Government. a work, the far reaching
beneficial results of which are now
beginning to show and which the Of
ficials in charge are seeking to ex-
tend in every way.
When the nineteenth century
opened there were no buffalo east of
the Mississippi. for already a huge
demand for robes had arisen in Eu-
rope. BY 1850 the wedge of settlement
had divided the buffalo into two prin-
cipal herds-the southern and north
ern. The gold rush to California. the
building of the Southern Pacific and
other railroads quickly brought about
the extinction of the southern herd.
BY 1878 the last of the northern herd
went south from Saskatchewan in
last endeavor to avoid being wiped
out. In 1880 the Northern Pacific
opened up Montana, giving access 10
