SIR-May I congratulate your ¢°1'F@$D0ndent "Rural Taxpayer" upc-n his undoubted ability to givel expression to his views in excekenf Enaiisii and incidentally to Bskl why one so evidently reaping the advantages of a college education sliould Erudge a similar privilege to; 1-10 YOIIIIg people of today.

My rural friend suggests that my pi~ev.ous letter was "Inspiredﬂ-Byi‘ ivhom? I consulted nobody, nor had ‘ I at that time even discussed the‘ question with others. My one" thought was that, peichance, a few! words pofitting to the great. need of the basic knowledge of the sciences, on the part. of the farmers of the province would can-y some weight! with those responsible for the man-l agement of Prince of Wales College. l I dictated my letter hurriedly and possibly failed to Impress upon some of our farmer friends, who are responsible for the rais ng ofl ilie standard of Agriculture on this, Island, the many advantages to be, obtained by availing themselves ofl the remarkable discoveries that, daily are being offered to them In‘ technical books, government bulle-l tins. etc.

Literature of this kind Is apt tol be regarded as “hard residing" by‘ those not. grounded In subjects such as chemistry, eectrlclty. botany,l biology, etc, but, with such Imowl- edge, there Is a constant desire,‘ and indeed a sense of duty, to keep abreast of the times. I

There are between twefve andI thirteen thousand farmers-on thIsl Lsland. Supposing that they all alm- l ed to specialize in certain lines. as has been done In Denmarkphow} different conditions would be. not merely with farmmg, but with all classes of our people, for It must. be remembered that, apart from the fisheries, the progress of this Island depends entirely upon agriculture.

I notice that lSt. Dimstanis Col- lesze Is more liberal to its higher csiss students than Is Prince 0f Wales College, Its annual fee being $50. To my mind. so far as the training course In agriculture Is concerned, the government. would be more than justified In arranging for free tuition In both Institutions during the two final years, so as to Induce the farmers of the Island to send their sons to one college or the other and. moreover. there should be no hesitation In supply- ing all the latest equipment. for the farming course. There Is no capt- tal Investment that pays such en- ormous dlvdends as that. from money put Into the so-eallod higher education.

It was on October I4, I606, that

the order was founded. Dr lPoxitriizccurt, who, with DesMcn- lﬂfld Champlain, had founded lPort Royiil two years before, had g gone south during the late summer to seek some place to the south where the climate was not, as severe as at Port Royal.

Meanwhile those left behind had ' been busy.

He decided that dePoutrincoui-t. should be gIv- en a real welcome home; he made his plans; he WTOM? his playlet; he rehearsed his" company; and he sent. scouts south to warn him of ilie approach of the leader.

As they did so, they saw advancing toward them Father Neptune, the great god of the sea, standing In a canoe. beiu-_ Ing the symbols of his power and attended by six TTIOIOILS who drew Neptune's chariot by smaller- 0811085. while in the rear were other canoes containing four In-. dliiiis bearing grapes and the ~93. cestors of the apples which have made Anitapolts world famous, as proof of their feiity to the King of France. After the formal landing ceremony (marked by salutm from cannon and musket) the travellers were escorted to the habitation where {gym-bog had prepared a feat which proved that he was as good a cook as hewas a playwright. The words of the pageant. were preserved by Igsmr- bot In "The Muses of New ﬁance.”
