DEVELOP COAL MINES GOVERNOR-GENERAL

•
One -Seventh of the World's
Known Suplies in Canada,
Says Col. Holbrooke.
London —"Why do we even attempt
to keep open coal mines in this coun-
try which do not pay, while in Canada
there are coal deposits estimated at
one-seventh of the world's known sup-
plies, mast of which are still waiting
to be developed,"' writes Col. Sir
Arthur Richard Iloibroolc, M.P., to the
London Times.
"In British Columbia," he continued,
"where the coal is of good quality,.
there are enormous deposits which
can easily and cheaply be developed
as noon as the demand arises. There
are, of course, two outstanding con-
siderations, the question of capital for
development and the persuasion of
workers to emigrate, but these really
go hand-in-hand and are not insur-
mountable. I suggest that the mil-
lions now used in giving. doles could be
much better used in development
abroad where, labor being scarce,
wages would ba higher, and the pres-
i ent dole receiver could by emigration
become the recipient of an advantage
ons wage. His peseage should eer-
tainiy be paid, esitwould be an Lm-
piro investment." {

Higher Education in Agri-
culture.
As a result of conferences which
have taken place during the last few
weeks as between the Ontario, Agri-
cultural Cellege and .the University' of
Terumo, there has been, added to the
curricula of these institutions new.
graduate courses in scientific research
as applied to agriculture. 'The senate
of the' university has authorised the
establishment of u new degree, to bel
known as Master of the Science of
Agriculture to cover- the work pre-
scribed. The canelidates willbe se-
lected from graduates holding the B.
S.A. degree of the OntarioAgricultur-
alCollege or others having equivalent
qualifications. e The time required to
complete the prescribed work, 'which
will include original scientific re-
search, will be one year as a minimum,
or more according to requirements
otherwise. The most outstanding fea-
tutee of the plan, will be the joint sup-
ervision of the student's work by the
scientific departments of the College
and of the University, and the work
itself may be carried on either at -
Guelph or Toronto. This will over-
come, to a large extent at least, the
difficulty which has previously existed
as regard's co-operation between To-
ronto and Guelph on account ofthe
eistence apart of the two institutions,
and which has militated against a
proper -no-ordination of the higher
educational facilities of the province.
The new arrangement is in line with
developments elsewhere. It has been
founts that scientific research as ap-
plied to agriculture is of tremendous
importance to increased productivity,
better standardization and improve-
ment of export trade. -Most farming

nary methods and experience Lire
