For many years, certainly' since 1894; Extension Lectures have been available for organizations anywhere • in the Province of Ontario who wish to secure a lecture or a series of lec- tures from members of the University staff. The arrangement has been that the organization pays the lecturer's travelling and entertainment expenses and a nominal fee of $5. However, time it has been' felt for some that such- an arrangement is not equitable. Since the University of Toronto is the Provincial University of Ontario; this lecture service should be avail- able on the same terms to people any- where in the province and Chapleau er Pembroke or Fort William should not be asked to pay more than To- ronto or Hamiltot or Oshawa or Belleville. In brief, so far as the iservices of the Provincial University aro concerned, people should not have to be handicapped by geography. On the recommendation of the Committee on University Extension, the Board of Governors at the meet- ing on March 10th ehanged the ar- rangement that has been outlined above and fixed a flat rate of $10 per lecture for any locality in the pro- vince, those ..,1s.ask for the lecture aele5geteatiet- Taiff SHOOTING- A BASKET 15 NOT DONE IN THIS MANNER., NO SIR..

Straw material is looked upon as having great possibil- ities and recently a company was formed at Edmonton for the purpose of manufacturing paper from this commodity. If this mill succeeds it would justify a considerable and pos- sibly a remarkable industrial develop- ment in the Canadian wheat fields. Recent developments along similar lines in Italy may be of interest to Canadian agriculturists and capital- ists. The problems of producing a straw which will fulfill all the techni- cal requirements of a satisfactory newsprint paper has been the subject of intense research on the part of Italian indu-strial chemists for a num- ber of years. The problem is now thought successfully solved and straw pulp is being produced on an indus- trial scare in the plants of the Societe, Elettrochimico Pomilio in Naples and in those of the Societe Italiana di Elettrochimico Bussi.
