The 1918-19 report of the Agricultural

Is For the advoacement in the diree-
e tion of agricuitaral teaching in the
el rural schools, the grant is largely ac-
countable. Along with it have been

home gardening, boys' and girls'
clubs in poultry, pig and calf rearing,

activities, culminating in the annual

They aee, met at the foot of the
stairs or at the entrance to the room
where the ceremony is to be pereorm-
ed by the bridegroom, who takes the
bride from her father and leads her
to the altar. In some ceremonies th•e
father remains just baek of the wed-
ding party until the question is asked.
"Who giveth this woman, etc."
With their backs to the guests, the
party arranges its& in the following
Ordee, forming as graceful a semit
°irate as they can en the room pravid
ed: bridesmaidto the left, maid of
honor, bride, bridegroom, best man
and -ashen. When the ceremony is
over and the clergyman bas congretu-
lateel the newly married pair, the
party simply turns in Oho order in
which they have been %ending to re-
ceive the congratulations of family
and friends. If the reception prom
is% to be large, it is better to cut
this part of the ceremony very Alert
and get the bridal p -arty seated at
table, letting .bhein continue their re-
cepeion later. The bride's mothee
takes her place in this reception line
and the breclegeoom's, too.
Generally, however, this receiving
is more informal, the bride's mother
moving among the guests like any
true hostess and making them feel at
home. It is always a good plan to
have some one, a couzin or aunt who
knows older ,and distant meinbers of
the family, on hand to make introdurc-

as to fill in the awlrevaed waiting be-

In certain high schools agricultural
and household ,science -courses are be-
ing developed, and in more than one
province, special vocational schools of
agriculture have been established and
receive ass:Estee% from the grant. In
developments- sash as' these lies the
hope for the improvenient of modem
agriculture through the rank and file
of the rural pcmulation, to whom the
centralized college of aviculture is
not available. The present day need
is that it should be made easy for
- country boys and guls to secure an
educational training of such a ehar-
seter as will fit them far country life
and rura/ pursuits. Colleges of Agri-
culture and Veterinary Colleges have
not, however, been overlooked; they
also are given liberal assistance. Fol-
lowing the close of the war, the at-
tendance at these Institutes shows a
- marked and gratifying increase, and
their influence in promoting the ad-
vancement of Canada's leading basic
inctostey, Agriculture, win continue to
make itself felt.

The school -directed home garden is
the most economic form of gardening
for small cities, towns and the sub-
urban districts of large cities. The
child's garden becomes a centre of
-interest of the whole family. The food
is produced at the home, where it is
used and the home Is beautified. As
the garden ties the child's interest to
the home, the visits of inspection and
instruction of the garden teachers tie
the home to the school. In the con-
gested sections of large cities, home
gardees are not alwaye, possible end
the connnunity school grounds or
vacant /ot plot must be substituted.
This form of school garden usually
requires a geenter financial cost in

is still juetified from the standpoint of

but it has long been known by those

the pupils in the schools for the blind
are sightless because their eyes weve

'Babies' son eyes," the disease

The prevention of blindness from

through the routine use of one per

some such prophylactic, in all infants'
eyes immediately eifter birth, and by
prompt and slcilful treatment or
