Littell said thisl recently, in Harper’s Magazine: “Our hands, originally the keys used by man’s brain to unlock the whole wide world, are in this age of patient appliances in some danger of withering through disuse. A man may go thru life with- out using his hands for anything more difficult than gripping a golf club, signing letters, fumbling for coins, lighting a cigarette, and holding a telephone receiver. When the front door won’t close, or a pipe leaks, he has to send for an expert. Therefore, our young man should learn to be handy in repairing the trifling faults of his home. He should know how to use common tools. It is much more fun than he might think; it adds to his self-respect; it satisfies the throttled manual ape, and it supplies one of his contacts With the remote world of physical labor. A lecturer in an American Medical College complains bitterly that now- a-days he has to make a digest of certain books for his studentsâ€"they will not read themselves, but expect the professors to do this for them. He went on: “In the University we have rather sunk our ideals, and have admitted a great many people who should not be there at all. Stand- ards have dropped lower and lower. Professors have come to regard it as inevitable that they must rely upon some type of force<fl feeding.” In a public address not long ago Principal Fyfe of Queen’s University said, it might be going- too far for to aver that the chief interests of the Canadian students of to-day were foot ball, girls, films, food, and} drink, but there is much truth in this statement. Not long ago, I saw a picture of some Russian children operating a farm tractor. Why? Because the Russians are at the big job of making over a people and want their boys at least, to.become mechanically, indus- trially, and lagriculturally-minded. The same methods are being used‘ to fit the girls for the life the Soviet authorities are planning for them. Doing things! The explorers and builders in new lands, as they subdued the wilderness and pneparled the way for others were real pioneers. Their’s was no easy task. Columbus had a hard time dis- lcovering us â€"â€" I sometimes wonder if ‘we were worth discovering! Drake, Raleigh, Nansen, Scott Lindbergh, Henry Hudson Mackenzie, Thompson, Stefanson, and‘ scores of like ilk had no easy path to tread). But they had vision, and they had the pluck to make their visions come true. Toâ€"day we seem to have lost the pioneer spirit and vision while look- ing for the rich and easy way. In our cities especially we have lost not only vision but the capacity for doing the hard, worth-while jobs undertaken by our grandparents. Why? Well, for one thing parents unfortunately weakened on the Spartan business and made life too easy for the childrenâ€" failing to see that it is only by over- coming obstacles that we grow. The first law of progress in all forms of life is: doing hard thingsâ€"chores. Not only have parents erred in this way, but our whole educational system has been at fault. Canada is basically an agricultural countryâ€"it always will beâ€"but our schools, colleges, and uni- versities have been busy turning. out so many people ready for such white collared jobs as doctor, lawyer, brok- ers, manufacturers, nurses, teachers, etc., that farming has come to- be con- sidered hard and second-rate work. Even agriculture is taught stupidly, and our farm colleges have been turn- ing out more teachers than farmers. l Your true pioneer is not only mov- ed by economic necessity, but he will possess vision. He will be spurred by this to attempt hard thingsâ€"to ac- compish the seemingly impossible. In his efforts he will encounter the dragons of ignorance, prejudice, in- tolerance, and hatred, and will either slay or be slain. In a very true sense the Nazarene was a pioneer. Galileo, Florence Nightingale, Mrs. Pankhurst were all pioneersâ€" not one of them had an easy time. There are four essential qualities which must be possessed by a pioneer â€"fi1'st, he must have vision; second, he must have courage of a high or- der; third‘, 3 capacity for doing things â€"â€"he must be a thinker and a doer; and fourth, he must have the ability to keep at it. Upon going to the dictionary of the word “pioneer” I found this: “One who goes forward to remove obstacles and to prepare the way for others." Also this: “One who is among the first to explore a countryâ€"to aid 3. movementâ€"to exploit an undertak- ing.” THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO The Old Pioneer Spirit By Anne Anderson Perry Still, there isn’t much choice when they jail a. fellow for stealing money or jail him for not having- any. I HUMAN O'STRICH ‘ Miss Mabel Wolf, who is forty, will go down in American medical history as the “human ostrich.” The list of articles she had swallowed reads like an ironmonger's catalogue, but each item is vouched for by the staff at King’s County hospital, Brooklyn, where Miss Wolf underwent an oper- ation. There were 584 fine uphol- stery tacks, 144 carpet tacks, two chair tacks, one roundlheaded‘ thumb tack, three ordinary thumb tacks, 46 small screws, six medium screws, 80 large screws, 30 small bolts, 47 larger bolts, and three nuts. Other articles included three picture-frame hooks, two large bent safety-pins, one small safety pin, one nail head, three brass nails, 83 pins, nine pins without heads 59 assorted beads, four pieces of wire, and 89 pieces of glass. Also included in her stomach were one fragment of teacup handle, a. hook-shaped screw used as a coat hanger, and a matted mass of hair studded with screws and pins. - There are right times for doing hard things. Those times are not in late middle life or old age but in the lusty years of youth; and the man of forty, if he has such years behind him, goes forward of his own mo- mentum. Life does not begin at forty for those who lack this hard appren~ ticeship; but given this capacity for doing- hard things they can go on to live the real life awaiting them. The pioneers who succeeded had the priceless gift of adaptability! Rollo Walter Brown, in “The Crime Against Youth,” protests against the long grind of modern education in school and college â€" man is thirty before he is ready to use his stuff and become a wage-earner. When Lindbergh flew over " the Atlantic everyone spoke of his youth, yet he was 25. Keats was._25 when he died. Pitt was 24 when he became Prime Minister. Mendelssohn composed his “Midsummer’s Night Dream” at 23. Jane Austen wrote some of her best novels in the years from 21 to 25. Shelley finished ‘with life and death at 30â€"Shube1't at 31â€"Mozart at 35â€"â€" Byron at 36. Kipling at 30 had pub- lished a dozen volumes. Are we not over-emphasizing preparation for life and failing to let youth live and do? i Herbert Spencer wisely said that ’edrucating a man’s mind before direct- jing' his desires, was like putting a repeating rifle in the hands of a 'child. We need to educate the desires of our young folk â€" not only their .minds and ambitions. We need new ideas about what real living- means. has been sapping their strength. Study your bread lines. These gaunt ranks are crowded with farm hands wln cannot grow radis‘hes; with type- setters who cannot use typeâ€"writers; with English literature teachers who cannot handle a lawnmower; and with Ph.D’s, who cannot write their own language! The poor weaklings can not conjure up fresh lines of attack. Left alone they sit blankly on park benches. They have lost that more primitive consciousness of lifet Life has for them ceased to be a task of all tradesâ€"they are nine~tenths dlead. With the pioneers 'children and chores' were more important than College education. ‘Chores’ still are, but these are avoided toâ€"day.” say: “The American» pioneer was ever a flexible creature. His de- scendants have been losing this prec- ious trait of their heritage, ahd this loss is one of the hundred things \that Walter Pitkin, who fills the Chair of Journalism at Columbia University in “Life Begins at Forty” has this to This is the age of the machinktoo often we confuse speed with progress. We have conquered the problem of production, but are faced with the tragedy of plenty. We dlestroy thousands of hogs for fertilizer, while millions of our fellows are hungry and naked. Is this a true measure of progress? Surely our great cities do not truly represent the apex of real civilization! No, indeed! We have still a long long way- to goâ€"â€"and we needâ€"oh, so tragically needâ€" pionears with vision: and courage to work out a civilization which will represent genuine values, not merely glittering gold! bricks. This is the task awaiting the youth of to-day. Have we preparml them for it? If not, why? had at some time in his life been without money and' gone hungry for several days, been lost or shipwrecked been robbed), been in jail, and spent a few months working as a common laborela This last; I place high on the list. Let every educated man, as a necessary part of his education, be thpown into the muddy stream of American industry and see what it is like to swim alone on daily wages.” The markets will pay up to a. cent a pound more for lambs of good qua},- ity up to 90 lbs. at the Stockyards and plants, than for lambs from 90 to‘ “Lambs of Quality" An important statement entitled “Lambs of Quality,” has just been issued by the Industrial and Develop.- ment Council of Canadian Meat Pack- ers, as follows: Commencing on July 2nd in Ontario and the west, buyers will pay two cents a pound more for ewe and wether lambs than for bucks. The production of good quality wether and ewe lambs of suitabka weight: and finish will continue to be encouraged this year. A Commendable Plan A praiseworthy experiment is being carried out this year at a small school in Elgin County where the teacher has inaugurated a plan whereby the pupils will put their lessons in farm practices to the test. Each pupil is growing a certain experimental crop on his or her home farm, the pro- ducts being varied to provide a wide range for field study. Some of the pupils are testing varieties of flint and dent corn for hussking; others are cultivating hay and ensilage crops; while the remainder are experiment- ing in soybeans for seed and fodder, table or sweet corn, man-gels, sugar beets, field carrots and turnips. Each test plot is two rods in length and one rod in width. Seed was obtained, free of cost, from the 0. A. C. in connec- tion with the experimental work con- ducted by that institution. It is likely. that this plan will be recommended for general adoption in the rural disâ€" tricts. Treat “Canada Thistle” after a heavy frostin \the Fall by scattering- sodium chlorate crystals on the thistles‘ at the rate of 1 pound per 100 square feet. “Poison Ivy” may be killed by spraying any time during the growing season. “Field Bind Weed” requires two applications, one when it is in full bloom and the second 2 months later. “Wild Chicory” should have two ap- plications, one at flowering time and one a month later. ' “Blue Weed,” “Burdock,” “Wild Carrot,” “Orange Hawkweed” and "Oxeye Daisy” can be killed with one application applied a day or so after the first blooms appear. hay crop is bound to be light in most districts. The tomato crop in. Essex is likely to be light as plants have been hard to get and of poor quality, also hundreds of thousands of tomato plants died.
