Dr. G. E. Reaman, Professor of Eng-

duced by R. S..McKercher, Seaforth.
"The Four Horsemen of the Apoca-
lypse," Pestilence, War, Famine and
Death were the uppermost scourges in
the world during World Wars I and
II, Dr., Reaman said, as he told of
the necessity and of reeking to the
"Four Horsemen of the Future," Sci-
ence, Understanding of HiStorY, Hope
and the Philosophy of Lite.• , •
Fearing science new AO be the mas-
ter, he recalled that 'during the Vic
torian age philosophy was the decid-
ing .factbr in matters: Today, as nev-
er before, there is' a need for philoso-
pby, a need to think things but •more
carefully. He went on to speak el
education, and the specialization it is
receiving, citing examples that he as
a teather :has encountered, he showed
the need for a returning to the teach-
ing uf fundamentals, .which teach
children to think... Dr. fteaman°s sec-
ond Horseman was History, or more
properly, the understanding and pro-
fiting by history. "Let us read his-
tory intelligently; if we had .done so
after 'the First "World War, there
.would never have- been a second; if
we do so after this last war there
will not be a third world. war."
The third Horseman of the future
was HOpe. "We mut have hope for
our' future, for if we ;do not, hoer can
there be -any' future fon*? We must
let youdg people, our citizens of, the.
future, anta things,' and have optim-
ism for their future." •
The fourthe horseman was Philoso-
phyof. Life, "We have to lave ideal -
Sm and believe in the intangible.
The three beliefs which we• must have
in the .plallosopay of life are: Belief
in oneSela, belief ie. your feliow-men,
and belief in God. This last is p&s:
sibiy the most 'important of all, for
we.;must have a directing power and
a plan to succeed,- he said.
introduced by W. R. Lobb., vice-
president, at the Clinton session, Ken-
neth Betzner brought, greetings from

Ontario belong to the -Federation, he
stated.
It was the aim • of 'the Federation,
the speaker said, to determine the
cost of pro -duction of every agricul-
tural commoaity.
Mr. Betzner said that Canada had
gone through a war economy which
had been very well controlled, and
that Canada's position was better, in
nia.ny respects, than that in the Unit-

inflation reigned.
