City streets were once thronged on Market Day and the teams waited at every post. Times changeâ€"the hitching post has goneâ€"but the farming industry can never be superseded. Every day is market day now, and the farmer is a business man and a student of markets. The Bank has always regarded the farming industry as of prime importance and will give every consideration to the interests of its farmer clients.

They have shown the characteristic island dWellers' passion for freedom, and there exists nowhere to-day a more liberty loving people than they. In every place to which civilization has penetrated, English- men are found. They never have lost the adventurous ways of their forefathers. You may find English- men on lands far beyond the seas. 'lhey are independent, determined, progressive and possessed of decided executive ability and mechanical skill. The English are not a pure race, such as the Greeks were. They are descendents of the Britons’ Angles, Jutes, Saxons and Normans. While the population of Britain is not pure, and have originated from different nationalities, there are comparatively few what you may call real foreigners, their language, too is one of the most wonderful languages in the world. The following is verbatim report of the winning oration of Marguerite Glass:â€" England is the most densely popu- lated country in the world. In 1921 its inhabitants numbered 35.678.500 people, to an area of 50,933 square miles. In city dwelling peeple, England leads the world. Over seventy eight ‘per cent. of its population live under city conditions, and while the people (of England are among the most arist- ocratic, they are one of the most dem- ‘ocratic, and in no other country in the ‘world is free speech more free.

McLean, The English people have always been interested in education, and real illiteracy stands at the low per cent- age of 5.8 but it is only in recent years that the educational system has been well organized. For many years it has relied upon Private Schools for its education, but many of these Priv- ate schools were criticized in the writ- ings of Dickens. and it is believed that through his writings, the government was moved to bring about the Edu~ cational system of the present time. After the re organization elementery and continuation schools were formed. lThese schools were supported partly ‘by the community and partly by the r government. To-day children from lfive to eighteen years are compelled to attend some school, and child lab- our and neglected education is a thing of the past and their educational sys- tem has become one of the best in the world. Englishmen are engaged in manu- facturing Mining, Fishing, Agricul- ture and shipping. England has one of the largest mercantile fleets in the world. The farms of England are made up of small holdings, and are kept in a very high state of cultivati- on, and their yield to the acre is very large. As for fishing, Billingsgate London is the largest fish market in the world. In Mining they are en- gaged in iron. lime, tin, but the great- est is coal. Their manufactures are cutlery, cotton, woollen, and iron, all these occupations have been brough to a very high proficiency. skip . In art and literature England stands well up with the leaders, as statemen they are second to none. I honour the British People and we in Canada should be proud of our Brit. ish connection. and may the different parts of this great Empire ever re- main loyal and true.
