EXAMPLE TO OTHERS
Qlhe following is the essay , writlten
by Miss Ilelen Britton, Fourth Poem
student" of the ISeeforth Coltegiiete,
which won second prize in the recent
essay contest elf I. were a Lion." '
•
Iif I were a Lion I would like my
iOlub, to uui'te with all other Lions
Glebe in working under the m'o'tto
"Mke Our Oounitry a Land to Love.•'
Though this is a tremendous under-
'takiaiig, I believe that a conscientious
'1Club, such as the Lions maintain,
could take a great p:artt in. promoting
world broitherli'aad, for what is more
desirable in these distressing :tienes
than that? IIn my ,estimation, there
is nothing,•
• 'The 'oharacter of a nation is in. fact
the character oto its indiividuals and
'the youth of to -day .will be the men
arid women df to -morrow. Oonse-
tquenitly, 'why not. train 'the youth? ITo
be ebren'g and 'healthy in mind and
bodythey must refrain feare taking
all alcoholic 'beverages and tiarcatuas:
The Lions knowing the evil effects of
'alcohol, wou'id have a great influence
in preventing the governmenit from
mialebig the sale of liquor in the com-
munity .possible. These two enemies of
ma'nkin'd not only affeot the physical
:but ealso the mental side of 'a person
:who, when thus d'enan'ged, is far ibelow
n:oruaal and cannot possibly be giving
his best to either 'him'self or , his
'country. . - -
(Greater interest- in the finer arts

(Music especially would exert a refin-
ing influence and an interest which
would occupy many idle moments. If

'who atherwbse could not afford to
'develop their mu'si'cal talent would
have a splendid oppoiitunity to do so.
(In promoting interest in fine arts we
alio find that a very splendid way to

of the 'B'oy 'Scouts and Girl Guides
,organizations, .}Organized and ma'in-
tained by the ILi:ons Club a livelier
national spirit would be aroused in the.
young people of. the com'muni'ty.
lI'n this district there is no technical
school to give boys and girls who
• ,cannot afford to live in a city an equal
!ch'anice with those who do.. Many who
ee not a'dap'ted for study can earn a
lia'living with a ,techs}'ic'a1 edu'caition, To
'aletain a school in this district would
be a splendid aim.
!Though much has been done in re -
,cent years to (fight tu'beeculosis this
'dread d-nse'ase can s'carcely be sup-
pressed as many c'hil'dren grow to
maturity ,with tuberculo's'is germs in
dheir system. The only way to detect
it is T.B. tests which could be exe-
,cited in the Public Schools. Those
'who could not bear their' own ex-
pen'ses could he under the.Lions' snip-
envision.
It is•, a regretted fact that the
English in the High 'Schools of the
'province is, not Of such a high stand-
ard as it'should b'e. •'Oonnpetition
'would be a splendid factor for encour-
aging a better knowledge of ' this
beautiful language IP would suggest
that a sc'holars'hip, though small, be
offered to. the Lower, Middle and
Upper "Schools respectively. flbwts
everyone would feel mare capable of
carpeting wiieh chase- in hie dwn class
and' a higher grade df pfoifictency

In concluding,' I would also suggest
to, eachLion ,that he ,feel• a 'greater
res7votsrbility to his . country 'andi. to
God for his every action, .since uneon-

ART 'LN DA'NCINNG.
.IReeent efforts have been inade to
clear up the confusion which has so
long euou'mb.ered the creation of th'e
new ballet by 'Fiokine and it is in-
creasingly evident that neither facts
nor ju'd'gment have as much weight
as partisanship and personal loyalty'
with those who are determined to be-
lieve what they cheese to believe. 'One
fore example empresses gratitude that
"the •unjust and libelous 'fiction of
Fokine (a very great artist) taking
anything from Duncan" 'has been
cleared up; and adds that if I'sadora
Duncan "had not possessed -beauty
(real beauty), the .gift of 'grace ,an'd
Irish charm, no one .would ever have
h'eand' of her. ;She was imaginative
and 'fearless, brut she . possessed - no
technique and her dancing was mon-
otonous—three routines—no more."
It would seem 'therefore, that same
"unjust end libelous fictions" a'b'out
Isadore night profitably be cleated
up at this •time. Unlike Fokine, she
is not here to speak for herself, but
she hats left 'behind her in the formr of

her in her very accents. '"The Art of

perhaps, the 'most important work on

One of the best services rendered

ing of varieties of gtiain to determine

That this : work has been extensive
and .satiefactory is 'indicated' by the
general adoption of varieties that were
first distributed ,froth the •farms. Out-
standing examples are Marquis and

lous ,yields may, be Obtained. About a
year ago a carload of an inferior
