CLOSING DAY

the: school year and the graduation Q students. The Commencement excitcises of St. Dunstan‘s Univers- ityyesterdpy marked another mile- stone in the history of this fine in- stitiition which for three-quarters oi century has been carrying on a splendid work in this Province, and which in August next will celebrate itsseventy-fifth anniversary. it is encouraging to note, from the Rec- tor! address at yesterday's exercises, that the attendance during the year was the largest for some timc past. and that excellent work has been done by the students. Feiicitous con- vgrgthirlatory addresses were 8W9" b! leading citizem, and the exercises o”? in every way up to the high araddard maintained byhgrand old St. fflunstanb, which is now one of thevleading universities of Canada. Rector and hLs able staff, aswell 5"] graduating students, are to heparmly congratulated on a- year oljtrenuous and successful service.

Arrangements for special services are now being made throughout this Province, la elsewhere, and no doubt the occasion will be flttingly observ- eo. His Majesty's suggestion that the collections at these services in the different churches be donated to the hospitals is an appropriate recogni- tion of the medical skill and devo- tion to‘ duty which, under divine gui- dance, resulted in his recovery.

That its only e. partial list. Our automo- biles, pianos, clocks, watches car- riages and sielghs have cost a mint of money to say nothing of the flour, oatmeal and corn-meal, pickles and canned stuffs, coal and oil that we import. Where on earth does all the money come from to pay the bills?

We have tobacco ‘ that make good and give mpioyment to workers all the year round although all their raw material comes from abroad. All honor to the enterprising proprietors. Surely thereare other lines of factory industry that could be established here, scores of them. that would give constant, paying ‘employment to hundreds, perhaps thousands of workers and yet pay fair dividends to the firms or com- panies operating them.

The want oi cheap power to oper- ate factories which other provinces enjoy must be considered as an ad- verse condition. Formerly our own rivers and streams operated numer- l ous flour and saw mills and other in- ldustries. Now their waters flow idly to the sea in, most cases. We utilized more power in former days to supply our own needs than we do now. Tan;- neries and lime kilns have disappear- ed along with the water mills.

The heaviest oata that are grown in Canada and the best, a. credit to our farmers, are produced in Prince Edward Island but the oatmeal for our porridge comes from abroad. This ought not so to be. Quaker oats and other oat-products are advertised in our papers to supply our needs. Some
