More jvmictins of flowers gwow in the Arc- `Lic than in the state of Texas. That ,;~;tatement alone rauther knocks our `old ideas into 11. cocked hat.

Stefansson struck rather a sinister note at the conclusion of his lecture when he painted a vivid men'.a.l pic- ture of the Black Bear of Russia reaching out its claws for scientific knowledge of the north. while the two great ca.pit.alist.ic countries of America and Canada were more or less apathetic regarding the compila- tion of this necessary knowledge. One feels. however, from the twinkle in the lecturer`s eye that the picture is not as sinis:t(1' as it sounds. The North. to Canadians. will now only be another part. of Canada. since St.efa.nsson has lifted the veil. And who knows but what. it will yet be a vital sepnnent. of the Confederatitm that. is Canada. jncus (Continued /ro1n Page One) The tenacity with which ignorance fights knowledge is remarkable," said Dr. Styefzmsson in- reply to a question regarding educational progress with- in the past ten years.
