Many children who do well in the village schools are passed on to the boarding schools, of which one for boys and one for girls is established connection with each important centre of Army work. ' Here an all round training is given, large numbers of the scholars responding meanwhile to prayerful efforts made to lead them to a definite experience of sal, vation and to earnest service of oth- ers. From this source the Army has already drawn a large proportion of its Indian officers. For example ov- er ioo of our present Punjabi officers were thus secufed. ' • -a. In order to help the people to im- prove their temporal circumstances, the Army o'ften teaches them; and or- ganizes on their behalf, such indus- tries as lace -making, sirculture, agri- culture, and weaving.. An Army of- ficer, some time ago, invented and in- troduced a weaving machine, just suit- ed for use in the home. Hospitals and' Pispensaries consti- tute an impaortant adjunct to the di- rectly spiritual operations. Many who could not otherwise 'be reached attend these Institutions for treatment and while gaining physical cure • obtain spiritual deliverence also. This work was 'started by Lieut, -Colonel Dr. Harry AndrewS, For thirty three years he laboured' in India, starting our three principal hospitals in Mag- ercoil, Anand and at Moradabad. Of the last he was himself the architect and builder and the plas were so ad- mirably suited to India conditions that they were adopted by 'Government as a model. • As Adjutant Andrews, he started in a tiny bath -room a. small amateur dis- pensary, the first insignificant seed of he Salvation Army medical tree in. Itdia. He had at•this time received medical training, but- he, was what might be called "a born Doctor," and he studied diligently to fit himself for the task. Later, in accordance with instruction from headquarters in Lon- don England, the Adjutant proceeded tb Chicago where he spent several years and qualified for his medical degress of M. D. He ultimately re- turned to India and was • soot in eharge of our Medical work in that coantry. • When the war was taxing to the utmost the accommodation of exist- ing Military Hospitals for Indian i'op a we Wereable to place at the disposal of the Govermnent one of the, best and most perfectly equipped hos- pitals in 'the •Country together with Dt. Andrew and his staff. The hospital hecarne so popular With: the indlian' SOldier$ that they dOlkiplained, that they "gat Well too 4Inic1d? and were full of sorrow when time came for heir discharge.- For his services Dr. Andrew was at- tached to the Indian Medical Service, given Military rank of Captainand, a -warded the M. B. E. At the conclusion of hostilities the services of Captain Andrews himself were requisitioned by the Military Au- thorities for the , Northwest Frontier, where Military operations were in progress against some of the war like and troublesome tribes. . It was here Capt. 'Andrews met his death. Hearing a convay, had been attacked, he irnnaediately took out an 'aid.,post under heavy fire and estab- lished it, 'affording some protection to the wounded, but none to himself. Subsequently he was compelled to. re- move, but continued to attend the wounded. Finally, when an ambul- ance was available, he showed ut- niost disregard for dangler in collect- ing wounded' under fire and placing them itt the ,anibulance. He was kill ed on the completion of his task. For his gallantry he was p.osthumously awarded that coveted honour the Vic- toria Cross. "Saved to Serve" is the slogan of 'every Salvation Army Officer and it can truly be said, that Dr, Andrews, V. C., M. B. L. lived this out the whole of his life.' -A WESTERN ONTARIO PROBLEM Townships and municipal councils, boards of trade and chambers of com- merce of Western: Ontario will pro- bably be asked to send representa- tives to a meeting which will be held rsomewhere in the peninsula this Fall to discuss ways and means to count- eract a clearly defined tendency which if unchecked will, it is believ- ed, threaten the prosperity of this part of the Dominion. Prosperity in the fourteen counties of Western °Mario, as else where in Canada, is dependent largely upon ag- ,iriculture and it will be adMitted that no greater calamity • could befall an area dependent for its prosperity upon agriculturists. 'Yet this, it is claimed, is what is happening through the pro- cess of time in Western Ontario. The regrettable fact that the younger gen- eration are flocking' to the cities and towns, and the lack of adequate means to replace the shrinkage in the num- bers of skilled farmers caused by mi- gration, retirement and death • have brought about a condition, the results of which are already Sufficiently ob- lions to demand attention and action. For some years the Western On- tario United Boards of Trade, an af-, filiation of many of the Boards of Trade and Chambers of •COMmerce of Perth, Brant, Heron, Waterloo,' Kent Essex, Grey, Latnbt6p, Wellington, Oxitid, Middlesex, 11111 1St.. .aa 4 MINN 0' El ili Bruce and Norfolk, have given at- tention to" certain lama& aspects of agriculture. With the aid of Town- ship. Clerks of the fourteen counties above named -over two-thirds of the i total of 157 townships , clerks having co-operated-sonie facts have been.se- cured which, it is claimed, not with- out justification, indicate a marked tendency towards reduction in the number of Western Ontario's skilled agriculturists actively engaged in.pre- sent generation are, of course, grow- ing older and in many instances farm§ are growing larger, as the Most likely purchaser of farm property is the nei- ghboring farmer and the figures'which follow show.that there is an obvious tendency towards increase of cleared but idle land. • The figures secured must be ac- cepted at face value. They are ob- tained from over to hundred inde- pendent sources and compiled mere- ly with a view to ascertaining actual conditions. They show that of the farms of the fourteen counties .of Westera Ontario,- 2:12,607 acres are known to be for sale; farms actually! vacant, not including those abandon -1 ed as useless for agricultural purposes have together 75,000 acres and there! is reported also .1.00,000 of cleared land itt pasture over necessary require- ments. • According to statistics se- cured from the Provincial Depart-, inept of Agriculture's Crop Report (1922) 500,000 acres in general field crops yields $2,000,000 annually, Of , Course it can quite justly be said that, an increase in the demand for beef!, cattle would reduce the unproductive land in pasture; that farms offered for sale may be eultivated by the present owners for many years and that in- creased production, if the land were - fully cultivated, 'might adversely af- fect the already inadequate renumer- ation of agriculture at present prices for produce of all kind. These are, of course, circunistances which should not be lost sight of, and there are pos- sibly other phases of the matter re- quiring consideratiOra However, "the area reported to be for sale, or in vacant farms, or in unproductive pasture --with one-third of Western Ontario yet to hear from approximating 400,000 acres or about one -sixteenth of the total cleared land of the fourteen counties of Western Ontario --indicates a well defined ten- dency. toward reduction in the num- ber of Western Ontario's skilled agri- culturists and this if admitted,is, it is claimed, a basic condition striking at the roots of prosperity which cannot he disregarded Without risk. Members of the United Boards are asking where skilled agriculturists ate to be found to buy arid tultivato the farms now offered for sale and those of other tattlers who may in the na, total cottrse of events be expected to retire. If there is a tendency detri- mental to the interests of Western Ontario, it is considered folly to ig- nore it and Western Ontarians should t is submitted, get together and see what can be done to check it MORRIS Report of promotion examinations at S.
