The fact that. the Infected teeth and tonsils are 1 the most frequent causes of pa1ns.l tiredness, rheumatism folowed byi heart disease, has been well provenl However some newspaper writers] and ltumorlsts are now telling us that physicians have "discovered" illwther part of the body that can be blamed for pains, rheumatism, heart dsease and high blood preg- 1 sure. and that inflammation of this! part-the sinuses or caverns adjoin- ing the nose-now called sinusitis will be the "fashionable" ailment about: which these patients can tell their friends. _ There are three sets of sinuses, at different levels, connected with the nose. They form a sounding box for the voice and help to mosten air going into the lungs. Wlth a. head wld the"?

Dr. Robert F. Rldpath, Philadel- tthlfl. Professor of nose and throat. rllsnses.

I Am. Slr. Etc. A NEW TEACHER AGRICULTUIVE AT P. w. c. Strr-Tltere has been a great. deal of discussion within the last. few weeks with regard to the teaching of agriculture. tn the pub- nc schools o! our province and 1n rrlnce of Wales College. At the outset I wlsh to state that I am 8P Present. and have been for the last; two or three years, 1argety re- sponsible for the teaching of agri- culture in the First. Year of PL W. C._A.tthougb I night. well ltave written sooner, and. In fruit, had thought of dolnll lo at least a month ago, I have no apology to offer for my delay. It: was partly due to pressureof work. and par- ticularly due to the fact that 1 wished to consider carefully, and no say neither too much nor too little. This I shall try t0 d0 and can. at least. hope to succeed. I write in order to present as accur- ately as possible the actual 0on- dttlons and situation, and to cor- rect. or to clarify a number of somewhat misleading statement-s that have been given. Snoe joining the staff of P. W. College, I have worked hard to 1m- prove the first year course ln agri- culture and to give the students of that. year, whether prospective tea- chers, prospective farmers, or sim- ply prospective clhizens of a fum- lng province. something practical and worth-while to take away with them. I have tried, at all times, t0 keep a proper balance between the theoretical and the practical. It '5 impossible here to give a complete outline of the work but n 11st. of the headings tn the text; used might help to give the public sortie idea of what 1s being done. 1. Agrtcutural Botany-the parts of a Flowering Plant, their Struc- ture and Functions; Seeds; the Classification of Plants; Fungi. 2. Gardening-Vegetable Garden- lnk; Fruit Growing; florlcultuxe. 3. The Sotl-J-Iow Sella are form- ed; Soft Fertility, etc. . 4. Held. Husbandry-Form Crops; Plant Diseases: Weeds. 5. Irrigation. d. Animal Husbandry-Cattle. the trait-y; Horses; Sheep; Swine; Poultry. 7. Farm Management Farm Homes; Farm and Farmstead; the Marketing of Farm Pnxluctl: Implements and Machinery. ~ I should l'ke to gtve, as well. a few of the questions, chosen at random, from the Agrlcufture ex- aminations of the put two "or three years (titles only, 1n some cases): l.

The students, moreover, wmte for me, lest year splendid essays on Fbx-Ranchlng Last Spring I was successful in having the representative of the Maritime Ferfllzer Council give a lecture, accompanied by lantern slides, to the students ot first and second year on "Plant Food Mater- lals-Soll Deficiencies and the Chemistry of Soils." I havealso, at all times, found the Federal Agri- cultural officials obltglng and help- fut. My work 1s entirely ln the GI-ade XI. It is‘, therefore. not my place to discuss the teaching ol Agriculture in the second year of P. W. C. I do wish, however, to assure you that ll: is" ln the hands of a thoroughly competent, consci- entious, and herd-working teacher. With the provision of a properly fitted-up room for Agriculture con- taining asupply of plants. sols, chemicals. a microscope, specimen: of plant: diseases, models of imple- ments, books, charts, etc, etc" the course in Agrlcuiture ln Prince ol Wales College coufd be placed on a par with that of any High School 1n Canada. As It ls. the room ln which I teach ls probably the most poorly-equipped In the building. 1 use some equipment, entirely my own personal property. Apart. from that. there ls absolutely no airl- cultural equipment in ‘P. W. O. whatsoever. We have got, I atdm possibly the finest laboratories for Physics, Chemistry and Biology east of Montreal. Duflng the col- Iege term from New Years’ to May. the subject Iatln. by way of an illustration, has allotted to ll; four periods a week, Agriculture two: Iatln for that berm ls worth 200 marks, Agriculture '15. Agriculture, apparently, ls in somewhat the same role as an orphan 0r slep- chlld; ll: has about as secure a po- attlon as had the elaepherd David in the household of Saul. as ll; were “hemmed tn with the spears." It la true that the excellent laborator- les referred o0 above are of benefit to those few students going on to nbt-aln a BSA. at an age-cultural college. But are we-to attempt to produce an agricultural ‘population where every tanner ls a B.S.A.? It. is not necessary to be a graduate ofan agricultural collage in order to be an intelligent farmer any more than lt ls necess y, for ex- ample, to be u clergyman 1n order to be a decent cltlun. Of the en- iollment ln P. W. 0., the great: mu- jorlty (possibly 95 percent) do not continue their college studies fur- ther than the first or second year. Many go out to teach. among other subjects, Agriculture. Many within a year or a few years take up fanning as a llfework; doubtless more would take up that occupa- tion if given more training.
