ar, there is grave challenge in news
that comes from Newfoundland,
Briefly, the news is that the ancient
Colony, its financial and economic
condition improved by one Year of
commission government, finds itself
able to reduce customs taxation by
$650.000 a year on the basis of last
year's imports. Fund, clothing and
shelter are to be made cheaper and
more easily available for the vitas; of
the people.

Parliaments, its Cabinet, its elective
system and papular government,

borrowing, piling up overhead and
debt, it found itself in the position
where 'it had more taxes than its
people could bear, where its over-
head and fixed charges were beyond
its taxable capacity. The island was
hopelessly bankrupt,
And Newfoundland haying to pay
its delfts and having to raise the mon-
ey somewhere to pay theist, taxed vi-
tal necessities of life, tit taxed Hour

To Train Young Farmers
tender the auspices of the Work-
ers' Educational :association of On-
tario, University of Toronto, a two-
week school for young 'farmers has
been arranged, commencing 1fonday,
November afdth, in the :Department of
Economics, University of Toronto,
The object of the school is to de-
welup the latent talent for leadership
among yolnrg :nen and women on the
farm So that they may fill important
places in their respective c0mrc _
ties in developing an understanding
of the economic position of Agricul-
ture and its relation to the general
field of Canadian and International
Economics. 1t is hoped that the suc-
cess of this school will result in .the
formation of" county schools and also
of study circles in each rural com-
munity. The .school will meet for
two sessions each day—morning and
afternoon at the University. At din-
ner each evening an interesting ad-
dress will be delivered by prominent
educationalists and others,
As it is proposed to limit the num-
ber of successful applicants, every -
enc who wishes to attend should
send in an application now,

Educational Association in the pro-
motion of this Agriculturist 'Varsity
