The improvement in the educa- ticnsi status of the population of csnsds from i921 to 193i is reflec- ted by the decrease in the number reported by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics as beini unable to “read and write." According to a recently issued bulletin based on the 1031 Dominion census returns, Prince Edward Island next to On- tario has the smallest percentage of illiteracy for the total population ten years of age and over, the per- centage in both provinces mentioned being under 3 per; cerit. The highest percentage unable to read and write.

MORE BRITISH ‘ FILMS

Reference was made in these columns recently to the fact that British motion plctures films are steadily replacing the Hollywood, U5. product in Canadian programs. ,'.l‘his is s movement which from every standpoint is to be welcomed. The following figures of Canadian imports of “clnomatograph films since i929 show clearly the progres which has been made in this dir- ecticn:

The French film producers have been sending us many pictures, not a. surprising thing in view of the feet that 30 per cent of Canada's population are French-speaking. In i029 and 1030 our imports oi fllnw from France were nominal. But in 1031 they totalled 775,000 feet or 7 per cent of total imports and in i932 1,003,000 feet or 16 per cent of the total.

IN HIGH REPUTE

The Financial Post ls authority for the statement that Cansdn stands very high in the estimation of London financial houses and British investors. The new Canadian loan will, of course, strengthen this feeling of high regard. The view is frequently heard expressed over there that Canadian securities he?! come through the depression

It is not human greed and cutthroat competition that make books fair game for any one. It is rather the feeling that a book is too precious a, thing for any owner to claim exclusive possession in it. This does much credit to our human standards, but it is a bit expensive.

The authors of these extracts (taken from an anthology called “The Btufled Owl" compiled by the learned Mr. D. B. Wyndham Lewis) were all imbued with the divine af- flaitue at the time, and a-t other rnomenw they discoursed most ex- cellent poetry. It takes good poets, though perhaps humorless ones, to write good bad verse.

This being clear, let us turn to the purpose of the present study which is tc remark that in the pro- duction of bad verse Canadian writers need take s. back seat to no one. Canadian poetry contains a rich vein of badnese, and it is an odd circumstance that no lover of the egregious in verse has yet tap- ped it deeply. What follows is (to the best of our belief) a pioneer ef- fort in the field, though not the first.
