THE THRONE, SPEECH ._,,_..

The Speech of f-Iis Honour Lieu- tenant Governor DeBlois st yester- day's formal opening of the legis- latrne runs to 82 paragrsphnand includes e comprehensive survey oi governmental activities, in practi- cally every department. Seldom, in- deed, has ayear oi such activity and achievement been chronicled in any Throne speech in our provin- cial history.

First and foremost was the pres- mtation, during the year, of the subsidy claims oi the Province be- lore the White Commission at Ottawa. The result has been a

recommending an annual subsidy, irorease of $275,000, equivalent to s grant oi $3,000,000 at 5 per cent. [n addition, the minority report of the Maritime member of the Commission, Chief Justice Math- ieson, leaves open the door for further negotiation on a basis oi tlscsl need, which must be consider- ed before the just claims oi the Maritinirs are finally disposed oi. The Government was also instru- mental in obtaining, in co-opera- tion with the Federal Cwiservative representatives, a substantial re- duction inniotor vehicle rains on the car ferry from the railway authorities, a reduction which has

The Agricultural Department has launched an agzressive policy with

junior clubs in livestock, domestic science, dairy organizations, exhi-

provision for the establishment oi cow testing associations, and the organization, under enabling legis- lation passed at the last session, of a Marketing Board which is now functioning helpfully in connection with the potato industry.

Beierence is also made in the Speech to the assistance which our farmers will derive from the Farm Creditors’ Arrangement Act and the Canada Farm Loans Act, for which the Federal Government is assuming financial responsibility.

Oi special interest to our fishing population is the reference to the liqdtieltions now being conducted with a view to providing new and wider markets for fish and fish products.

1h lducation, reference is made ta the fsot that the school enroll- ment during the year was the high- set since 1m. The satisiarztory Dfilfess cf the Provincial library Demonstration inaugurated by the Carnegie Corporation under the auspices of the Department of Education is also noted, as well es enlargement in the courses oi training gt Prinm of Wales College. At the latter institution, further revision in the curricula along agricultural training lines is short- ly to be made.

Health activities noted in the Speech ‘ ‘ude an educational pro- gramme in the field of preventive dentistry, and increasing work at the Provincial Sanatorium.

The extensive programme of hard surfaced roadwork, both on the main and secondary highways, in- augurated last summer with federal

assistances-and in the case of the Borden concrete highway financed

entirely by the Dominion Govern- ment-is mentioned among the major activities oi the Public Works Department.

There is also reference to the remodelling of the Infirmary build- ing st Felconwood, to negotiations for leasing the Sims building to the Department oi National Defense, to the maintenance of ferry and other services, the extensive repairs be- ing mule to the Provincial Building, the need oi replacing the s. s. "Hiillboroug/h” with s. new steamer, and other departmental matters.

0f particular interest among the bgislstive mess to be introduc- ed is an enabiingatatute with re- gar-d to the Dominion Perm Loans

Commllsiommre "misleading, to Bl! the least." The Guardian heed- lines were in exact accord with the duvet-ch, as published, from the Canadian Press, which appeared in every momma new in Canada and which read: ‘The a1 yearly subsidies recommend- ed in the report, tabled today in the House oi Commons by eu- Georse Perley in the absence oi Prime Minister R. B. Bennett, are: 'I‘o Nova Scotia. 81,000,000; to New Bwlrswlok. $000,000: to Prince ltd- ward Island. $275,000." Precisely the same language is used by the Commission itself in its recommend- ation, as will be seen from thsPat- riot‘s own report, page d of yester- day's issue, which reads: “The ad- ditional annual subsidies which we recommend are as follows: To Nova Scotia, $1,300,000; to New Bruns- wick, $000,000; to Prince Edward 1|- land, $215,000."

Our contemporary, for its own purposes, concocted its own intro- duction to the Canadian Press des- DB-tch. It then aflixed the date-line "Ottawa, March 4"; had the para- graphs set in black type, and par- aded them on its front page as the authentic statement. It forgot, how- ever, in copying the text oi the Commission report from The Guard- ian, that the recommendation was specifically in the words used in The Guardi introduction. _

We have no objection to our con- temporary garbling Canadian Press news in its own columns, but surely it goes beyond the limit when it complains that The Guardian is "misleading" because it does not do likewise!

from the angle on one who bad been engaged’ for many years in higher education, r ‘ lcularly at Eton Col- lege. In spite oi the title oi his address, hesuggested that in reality the boy is unchanging, but he realizes the external circumstances are very different today. “I be- lieve that the boys of the present day as I see them are, on the whole, much nicer and more intelligent, and are taking a far greater in- terest in their fellow-creatures. and, further, are more concerned with large topics than when I was at school. I do not suggest that boys» today are perfect, but I do place it on record that they are not changing for the worse," he de- clared

bank. The result L; that one who hm been exercising regularly for

i-I .

years can maintain his strength and “limbcrness" by a few minutes exercise daily. '

A wonderful example oi how a body that has been exercising reg- ularly can get aicng on a few min- utes daily was shown by the strong man Sandow-strongest man in the world-whose stare act did not last more than fifteen minutes. He took no other exercise.

We find also that professional wrestlers, spending no time what- ever in ‘training’ because the bouts in which they engage three times a week keep them in perfect con- dition.

In France 2i army officers were put under intensive training for 6 weeks. The first eiiect noted was nil increase in weight in l5 0i the 2i. The better- iunctioning or work- ing oi the tissues and organs oi the body was followed by a decrease in the wastes in the blood, which was especially noticeable in the case oi those whose wastes were above nor- mal before the training began.

There isn't any question but that outdoor games or sports give most enjoyment and are most inviting, but weather, time, or circumstances may interfere with outdoo exer- cise.

The thought then is that when! gymnasium exercisg can be obtain- ed this cfiers a "regular" oppor- trinity.

But even at home ten minutes "bending" ermacises with knees straight, and a walk of a mile or more daily, will make your liver, heart, kidneys and other organs do more effective work-strengthen the body, clarify the blood, c'esr the brain.

even so it is estimated that the smugglers oi Alcohol Row are cost- ing the government $40,000,000 to $50,000,000 yearly in loss oi rev- enue. Newioundland and St. Pierre are the chief take-oif points for the ships oi the Row. Negotiations are going forward with a view to get- ting them to tighten up their ship- ping regulations-New York Times.

In referring to changes in modem lite, the Dean asserted that the whole type oi education had changed completely even in the last forty years. In the old days they were taught almost entirely the classics, Latin and Greek from the time they reaohed school to the hcur they left it. Science had begun :0 creep in a bit at the end of last C0‘ltl‘l'y and to make the proportion clear he mentioned "that today s! 250 students who were qualified by their ‘leaving certificate to enter the university, not nrore than iiitv had taken Latin and Greek, perhaps 100 tcc-k history and perhaps 60 science; while others took French, mathematics or other subjects; that is less than one-fifth were classical.

One happening in Irnglish educa- ‘ion had been an enormous crowd- ‘ng of subjects into the curriculum. “o that boys were being taught many things, what many people ‘hough a splendid education. ‘There is a great deal to be said about nan-owners in education," was the speaker's comment; "but there is something to be said about being too wide."

The Dean passed on to talk of the attack that had been made by the scientific group on the educational system at the end of the last cen- tury at the cost oi the classical side. ‘They had contended that while everyone ought to know some Latin. Greek was unnecessary, though this was illogical in the speaker's opinion, as scientific knowledge came from the Greeks. Thus science teaching had pushed ltselr into the colleges until they had gone just as far in that direc- tion as the classicists had in their insiste . As a result expensive laboratories had been established in colleges in which thousand of boys were making experiments, but the benefit of this he questioned, for there must be large numbers to whom such experimentation would be useless.

Indicating that he personally had no particular bent or use ior science but did lean to the classics. Dr. Alingion, discussed the wis- dom of students heins made decide for which they had a pro- ference and deciding then to con- centrate on the one, while ior the general average he suggested that there“ "beau ‘ oiboth ends in classics and science. ‘There was too much time wasted in teaching some people Latin prose, and, equally on algebra. Time and temper of the boy and of the teacher should be served by not forcing education Won them ior which the pupil might fundamen- tally be unfitted. l-ic did not sug- gest that eeience should not be taught, but more of it should be pqrula science.
