The City of Cbarlott.etown'I brief before the Royal Commission on Canada's Economic Prospects was presented by His worship Mlvor J. D. Stewart. It dwelt both on the factors which limit the expansion 9f the city and some of the forces which are producing growth. The ext of the brief is as follows:

The City of Charlottetown wel- comes this opportunity of appear- ing before a commission appointed to deal with Canada's economic prospects. for it is appropriate to recall that the first 89119111 d-lie. cussinns ever held on this sub- ject took place in this City ninety- one years ago. Many of the "pro- spects"indicated at the first con- federation conference have mat- erialized in full measure in the growth of this great country. Much: remains to be done to carry Canada .' through the tincertainties of the atomic age. Although we are not;

Dr. menu was born at Canoe Cove in 1872. Without finishing hll secondary education he went to work in his uncle's store and a few years later moved to Charlotte- town. He determined to acquire all aducatf and by arduous study he prepared himself for Univer- i

ty.

He saw his dream realized when he was admitted to Dalhousle Uni- versity. from which he graduated in 1898. The young man from Canoe Cove was not satisfied with his Bachelor of Arts degree and he was next seen as a student of Cornell University where he obtain- ed his Masters degree in Arts. Three years later he earned a doctorate of Philosophy from the same University. He married Laura (lieddes Barnstead of Halifax in

901.

He was an instructor of Greelt at Cornell for five years and a preceptor in the classics at Prince- ton University in the days of President Wilson. l

Dr. MacRae liked to recall his meeting with the President of Corn- ell the late Dr. Jacob Gould Schur- man. When as a Fellow be was invited to the President's house for dinner. When the President asked where he came from he replied "from Prince Edward Island." Dr. Macflae was in for a surprise when the President told him that as a boy he worked in a store at Sum- merside, Prince Edward Island. Dr- MacRac at this time had not yet begun to study Law but in 1909 he became an articled law student. He later wrote that he found the law to be a sort of hocus- pocus and one of his observations was that common law follows logic but when logic collides with ex- pediency, the common law follows expediency.

Upon graduation from Osgoode Hall. Dr. MacRae practiced with

Points Our Dangers In 20th Century Education

"The great danger of 20th cen- tury mass education is the possible loss of some qualities of excellence inherent in aristocratic educat- ion and the possibility that stand- ards may sink to mediocrity". said Dr. Andrew Stewart, President of the University of Alberta. at a sup- per meeting of the Charlottetown Rotary Club held at the Charlotte- town Hotel last evening at which the h a of the F i Pro- spects Commission were guests.

Dr. Stewart, a member of the commission. went on to say "Mass education is the logical outcome of free. compulsory education and it is out of the wish of today's young people for more learning that the great educational debate has arisen."

The guest speaker also said that in our present age it is as import- ant to know about the biological. physical and social sciences as it is to have a knowedge of the bum- anities and the most desirable form of education is one that combines the best qualities of the traditional
