Determine Whether Students
Have Chance, of Success illi
Their Chosen Professions.
Ifingston.—Within the next few
weeks the Department bf Philosophy
of, Queen's University will givea ser-
ies of mental tests to all freshmen and
sophomores in the university. As a
result of tbe tests it is hoped to gain
much information which will be of,
value in assisting students to pick
courses• suited to their various types
of mentality. It -will also be possible
to determine with a fair. degree of ac-
curacy whether or not students will
have a reasonable chance of success
in the professions they propose to fol-
low after leaving.. college.
The tests will be given by A. W.
Farlinger, an undergraduate doing
special work -in psychology, and will
be under the direct supervision of Dr.
George Humphrey, head of the Dept.
of Philosophy. Dr. Humphrey and
Mr. Farlinger are working in co-
operation with a committee of the con-
ference of Canadian universities, and
it hoped from the results obtained
to further standardize the mental
tests. -
In addition to testing freshmen and
sophomores, W. P. Hughes, famous
Queen's football coach and director of
athletics at the -University, is co-
operating with the Dept, of Philosophy
in having members of the football,
hockey and basketball teams take the
tests. Members of the first, second
and third teams will take the tests.
Comparisons will be made to deter-
mine whether orpot the members of
first team,ss have higher intelligence
quotient`s,•than those who fail to •make
the first teams and consequently have
to play on ;intermediate and junior
teams. A comparison of the mental-

famous by two centuries of use by

Far many years the Canadian Pa-
cific was the only railway of Western
Canada and, as it crossed the southern
parts of the prairies, the Saskatchew-

stern -wheeled boats plied regularly
the waters of the main branch from
Grand Rapids at Lake Winnipeg to
Prince 'Albert, Battleford, Fort Pitt

Near the Saskatchewan -Manitoba
boundary there is an alternative "route,
which the early traders usually tra-
versed. Leaving the Churchill at Prez
po1•tage, the way lay nearly south,
following a chain of lakes leading to
the Sturgeon -weir river, thence by
way of Amisk, Namew and Cumber-
land lakes to join the Saskatchewan.
This diversion brought the French
traders to their. posts at The Pas, and'
allowed the English to reach tide
water at York Factory by way of
Hayes River, their principal route.
The main tributary of the Churchill'
above Frog portage' is the Beaver
River, a swift -flowing stream, heading

One of the most variable Canadian
export products is hay, according to
the Natural Resources Inteiligeiien'
Service of the Dept, of the Interior.
Exports of hay vary roughly between
50,000 and 500,000 tons annually,
chiefly to the United States, Britain,
France, Newfoundland and the West '
Indies. In the latter islands Canadian
hay has to meet competition from
sugar cane leaves which aro used as a
fodder and sold rte very low prices.
