DR. GRISDALE

Dr. J. H. Grlsdale, Deputy Mill- vLster of Agriculture, who suffered a breakdown in health about a. week ago. has been granted six months leave with pay from April 1st next, after which he has been granted superannuation. Dr. Grisdale has had s. long and illustrious career in connection with Canadian Agri- culture. He entered the Service as Dominion Agricultlurlst at the Cen- tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa. in I899. To him and others associated with him we can attribute the com- ‘parstively advanced state of Cana- "lian agriculture and Canadian agricultural investigations as we have them today.

j In 1911 he succeeded Dr. William Saunders as Director of the Dom- inlon Experimental Farms and under his direction the number oi ‘Experimental Farms increased from nine to twenty. Several New Div- ;ls'ons were established at, the Cen- {UB1 Farm and other divisions were subdivided. l-lis work as Director of ithLs great invesfgational and ex- ‘iperimen-tal system brought him fre-

Paﬂiamerlts, a member is not sup- posed to accept an office of profit under the crown and retain his seat. Indeed. the only way a mem- ber of the British Parlament may resign h‘s seat; is by applying for office, and for this purpose is nlalntaﬁned the sinecure of Steward or Bailiff of one of His Majesty's three Chilitera Hundreds.

The original reason for this, dat- ing away back to thc time of Queen Anne. was to prevent, so far as possible, the corruption and brilbery of members in passing and enacting laws or in the enforcement, thereof in their own interests. Until within comparatively recent times no member could sit in the House who was a. contractor to the Govern- ment, or in any way received pay- ment of moneys for services render- ed to the Government or House. This was felt as an undue handicap in the case of successful business men returned as members. A way out was found by converting in- divldual flmls into limited llabll. lty companies. As a. stock holder in a. limited liability company 15 not prohibited from sitting in the

gquently to thk province, where he ‘is well known for his good counsel and generous assistance to all 1n- tcrested in agriculture.

/Lsval Unlvershty conferred upon

him the honorary title oi D. Sc. A., in 1918. He was Agricultural Ad- sisor at the Imperial Conference, Iondon. England, 1923 and 1926. JI-le was Head of the Canadian Dele- gation, Imperial Research Confer- 'ence, London Ehgland in 1927, and lwas Canadian representative on the tﬂilxecutive Council of the. Imperial Bureau's, 1928. Dr. Grisdale be- ‘carne Deputy Minister oi Agricul- ‘ture for the Dominion of Can- ada in 1919 and his exceptionali ability administration has found full scope during. the strenuous years since that. date.

We wish him a speedy recovery and many years of further service to the Canadian people in whatever lzle a: work he undertakes.

RE-ELECTIONS -

- l

V‘ The bill introduced by the Gov- "ernment for the extension of Parlia- ment from four to five years meets w'th general approval. As a mat- u: of fact the late Liberal Gov- ernment held office beyond four years. Throughout the Dominion, and the Dominion Parliament itself, all the legislatures enjoy a five lye-l- with-e. 1t ls not likely the

House and benefiting directly or indirectly from contracts o; other business with the Government nearly all the business men in the House take ‘advantage of this pro- tection. The lawyers evidently feel in this respect that they are pre- Jlldlced- The? oﬂnnot very well ocmvert their office or profession into a limited company, and yet while they sit in the House they are debarred from sharing the Plums that ripen to fruition dur- ing their term.

FIRE CALLS

Complaint is made of delay on the part of the fire brigade in re- sponding to fire calls. The ex- planation given is that when an alarm is sent in, the person tele- phoning usually rings the Police Office. Since the reconstruction of the City Hall building there is no direct communication between the police and the fire brigade, with the result that the police have got to leave their office, go round to the fire brigade quarters and, if at night, kick at; the door until a re- sponse ls received. This could be avoided if citizens in sending in an alarm were just to take up the receiver and shout, “emergency fire". If that be done the alarm would be at once sent to the firc

‘electorate will kick‘ against being obliged to elect its representatives Esvithln“ a five year period rather than within a. four year period. 5' The proposal to do away with ‘the 1'1: ‘ ‘ion of members on ac- cepting a portfolio also meets with general approval. The custom of

brigade, and time and delay saved and awided.

FOX FARMING

While the fox farmer has not made much money this season, he has found his fox breeding opera- tions paylng him larger returns

compelling an appeal to a mem- bel-‘s oorlstitutents on accepting a paid position ln the Government a- rose from an effort of‘ the people in by-gone days to maintain their ' rghts against royal encroachment.‘ In the early days members served freely m the British Parliament. and it was thought that, having been elected under conditions that prevented their accepting salaries, when they obtained positions 0f- emoiumerlt under the crown they should go back to the people in" order that, the people might ratify the appointments and agree to the, emolument. Herc this members are llmady in the receipt of emolument in the shape of sesslonal indem- nity g0 the law is somewhat an- achronistic. In almost all other parts of the Empire a. membe. of the legislature may accept s nort-

seet re-elaction. The amendment 1 to reinact‘ the act passed by the Lib-

erals under thé Peters Government permitting members to be unwilli- ed magmrates without dlsquafifl- cat'on as members comes under a different category. unsci- the t...- d-nlal ordlnanoo. common to all

than any other branch of his farm activities. This fact is noted in the annual report of the Department of Agriculture, submitted this week to the Legislature. Pdncc Edward ls- land has today about 3,000 fox farms, producing annually approx- imately 50,000 fox pelts. With the present world depression and the consequent reduced purchasing pow- ‘er of the nations, fox pelts, along with all other commodities, have declined sharply ln price during the last year, with a consequent falling off in the demand for breeding stock. However, it is pointed out that with the decrease in the prices oi fox pelts the trnde has been able to use large quantities for trim- mings, with the rcsult that there has been a. keen demand and the large number of pelts offered this season has been quickly absorbed by the trade. It is suggested that even at current market prices, the breed. er of foxes can still increase his Profits by improving the quality of his breeding herds, both from a pro. ductlon and fur quality basis, and reduce the cost of his overhead by "liming the kinds and quantltica of feed that will give the bcs.

There has been so much buffett- ing of President Hoover during the past two years, due largely to the depression in business that has visited United States even to a. greater extent than other countries. that a little support from another source may be welcomed at this time by the president and his friends. Encouragement of this nature has come from Mr. Henry Ford, who has not only declared in favor of the re-electlon of Mr. Hoover, but has expressed the opinion that the president's present

Universal history, the h'story Dill what man has accomplished in this world, is at bottom the h’story of the great men who have worked here. They were the leaders of men, these great ones; the modell- ers,, patterns, and in a. wide sense creators, of whatso-ever the gen- eral mam of men contrived to do or to attain; all things accomp- lished in the world are properly the outer material result, the practical realization and embodi- ments of thoughts that dwelt in the great men sent into the world: The soul of the whole world's his- tory, it; may justly be considered was the history of these.—Thomas Carlyle.

Music And Brains

("T. A." in the Montreal Gazette)

Opinions expressed recently have brought up the old question of ‘education in connection with mu- ‘sic. Some people look upon fine ‘music as a valuable factor in edu- cation and in the mental improve- ment of a community. Others look upon it as simply entertainment.

As a matter of fact, the latter view is largely the correct one. Music is one of the greatest; es- "capes from the material realities of the world. When listening to it, those who care for it are caught up into that other world of the imagination. And if this is not en- tcrtainment, it is difficult to name.

But there ls another side to thc question also. “Man cannot live by bread alone." and culture, whether acquired by music or any other form of imaginative activity, is precisely what remains with man after his bread has been taken away from him. It is the richness

below normal. UThls shows that thc thyroid gland is not active enough. the patient is given some thyroid extract. Start- ing with a small dose and then 1n- creaslng it the rate rises to minus ‘l below normal which is a; con- thc dose to what was at first given, the rate drops back almost to 25 8881"-

whllelhls looks discouraging the big pulp; to remember is that while the thyroid extract was b81118 81"?"- lthg d,'et was not reduced, so that instead of increasing the amount o; thyroid extract again, the treat- ment should have been a reduction

The trouble in many cases where reduction of weight is undertaken ls that the patient and sometimes the doctor figure out the amount of food and liquid the patient should have accordng to his welsh‘. 511d then cut the amount down by 1°

If this doesn't bring the weght down at a. satisfactory rate then

,of his soul. or as John Cowper jPowys so wisely puts it, "what re- gmalns with us when we forget ‘everything we have learnt by edu- cation."

Confining this culture to music. it may in its highest forms be cal- led the right appreciation of orig- inal and personal human exper- iences as revealed intone. As in every other human activity, it is ‘the personal and individual feel- ings that count. Knowledge lies purely within the realm of science. Art per se has nothing whatever to do with learning, even though learning makes for greater facility of artistic expression.

In other words, the unusual and original inner experiences of gen-

had to be expressed in some med- ium. That medlum might have been literature or painting hac they lived in another age. Mush was to hand, however, in their time and country, and they wen born with procllvlties for lnakirl

beautiful patterns of sound rathc

than for dealing with concrci

images. So they expressed their:

selves by music. And their musi

is only interesting because the, were able to express their unform- ed thoughts, or moods, clearly and concisely in patterns of sound. Had they had the same facility for por- traylng concrete images they might have been great novelists, poets, painters or sculptors. Had they had it for religion they might have been great saints.

It is these lofty moods that the appreciative listener looks for in music. It matters little in what shape or by means of what instru- ment they arc expressed providing that shape and instrument bc suitable. It happened that ln Bee- thoven's and Mozart's time, the principal shape or form of expres- sion was the sonata form, which includes the symphony, concerto, string quartctte, etc. With Bach, it was the fugue and the suite. With Gluck and Wagner, the opera, a combination of music and drama.

The principles of the construct- lon of the sonata, the fugue, the suite and the opera are very sim- ple. A person of ordinary intelli- gence, if he, goes to the right source, can acquire sufficient knowledge in half an hour to lis- ten, say, to a symphony. with un- derstandlng. And the same thing applies to the other forms of mu- sic. Once the simple principles are understood, a symphony or a. fugue ls as easy to appreciate as a poem or a play; a great deal easier in some respects. Most of them, in- eluding thc sonata fonn, are fun- damentally based on the songs of thc people, such as the popular ly- rics of Scotland and Germany.

The great bar to a universal ap- preciation of music lies to a. large extent in the professional lllusi- cian’s tendency to make a mystery out of it. He often refers to the science of harmony and counter- point as if it were a profound and philosophical subject. the secrets of which are only revealed to the initiate after years of experience. Also he tends to stress the fact. that a knowledge of this science ls necessary in order to appreciate music thoroughly.

Of course this is utter nonsense. A man may go through life with- out being able to read a note and still acquire a profound love for the classics of music. A composer like Schubert, for example, may know less about the science of mu- sic than the average competent teacher of musical theory, and yet be able to compose a simple stro- phic song like "Heidcnroc ' ‘ or little planoforte pieces like his lrn. promptus, which are worth more than all the symphonies of Men. delssohn, who was a very educated rsuslcian.

In the end, all that matters ls the vision the composer gives of his inner experience; that is, his reactions to the world, to love, to fear, to hate, to hunger. to strife, to grief, to joy, and to all the oth- er simple Instincts of man. "It goes from the heart to the heart." wrote Beethoven in the lllpcrscrlpﬂqn of
