The six men and worneu who taste-sampled the potatoes in their various forms were of the opinion that although further experiments would have to be conducted to improve the flav0r and texture, the results of these first tests were promising.

Canadian-US. Arcticdcfcncc is a very rcal problem, says tlic Lrllcr--Rrrziiczt'. There is no doubt that Washington is turning tlic ircat on Ottawa, to tuakg liugc tuilitarv, expenditures in the far North, or to pcrriiit Washington to make them. With not the least ivillinguess to concede any weakening of Canadian sovereignty vis-a-vis Washington, we still say that common sense must, rule. The weakness of tlic Carra- diari position is that, despite a cousidcroble amount 0F boasting, this is not a Great Power. The wise course, WlllCll will not be accepted at Ottawa under the present Arlmiiiistrzrtioii, would be for Canada to say to Washington. in W0l'(l5 of one syllable, that this country will engage in joint defence programmes, without any re- gard to mirror arguments over sovereignty. prn- vided they include all the iinglisli-stienkirig ria- tions at least.

Could auv pupil who by circum- stances or necessity has to attend u school of that class, prepare for matriculation even with the sug- gested correspondence course in Latin? Can even an elementary knowledge of Latin be acquired by a correspondence course? 1 doubt u. Let us take a retrospective view of one-roamed schools. as they were forty or forty-five years ago.

Anyone of mature age knows that Latin had its place in the regular curriculum of the School. as also all other subjects. Trhe same work practically was done that is done in first year work now in Prince of Wales Colkege, with perhaps the excetlllml chemistry.

Remember the attendance was then in most schools larger than now and work was not over- crowded.
