We Will Appreciate Your Subscription Orders THE COLBORNE EXPRESS "Vox Nostrae Scholae" The contention has been advanced in recent years, admittedly not without some basis tor justification, that' examinations if* secondary schools; should be gradually eliminated even to the extent of the abolition of the term tests. However, despite the fact that often parents and various educationists claim that the present system of advancing the pupil on the basis of his status in either final or term examination has long been outmoded and tends to make the acquisition of an education automatic instead of spontaneous, the system has many qualities worthy of commendation. The term examinations (by this we refer to tests held tri-annually--before Christmas, Easter and Summer holidays) give an added zest to study by providing friendly competitions among the pupils. Particularly is this true in the lower forms. It is indeed hard to imagine a student, whether of Lower, Middle, or Upper School, who doesn't-derive a great deal of satisfaction from the fact that his or her name occupies a place of honour near th» top of the examination list. These tests by inciting the element of competition provide an added incentive to study. If. when the examination resullss" appear and the pupil finds his marks creditable in one subject and mediocre in another, he has an opportunity to take stock of himself. When weakness in certain subjects are revealed by the publication of his marks, he may revamp his plan of study placing the proper emphasis on the subjects of which he has the least knowledge. When answer papers are returned any misconceptions, errors or misunderstandings may be rectified, the pupil benefitting immensely thereby. To tackle the subject from a less practical point of view, any student fully realizes that examinations, despite the fact that they often entail hard preparatory work, contribute in • to i the r otony of the ordinary everyday tine. Then again there is somewhat of a fascination connected with examinations--that element of doubt as to the final outcome. Will the answer paper brine; disillusion or delight in its wake when the marks are posted next week" What hopes and fears can hinge" oi the written matter in a half-dozen o so sheets of exanrnation paper? In closing let me state that not fo all students do high marks indicati that last-minute plugging has produced results, for to the pupil who bears a serious att'tude toward his work, high marks in examinations give favourable confirmation of his policy of consistently maintaining his studies at a reasonably high standard throughout the school-year. Christmas examinations are in progress at the School Examinations are being held on Friday of each week until Christmas holidays. WHAT IS READY PRINT? tt is not "boiler plate."

DAMAGE BY MOTHS CAN BE HEAVY IN WINTER Under the impression that moths commit their depredations in the spring and summer months only, many people display little care in putting away their summer clothes for the winter. As matter of fact, moths may be found in heated modern buildings all the year round. Prevention is het-j ter than cure; therefore it is necessary to use the same care in packing] up summer clothing in the fall as is] bestowed on winter clothes in ithaji spring. Moths themselves do no harm,! except that they lay eggs, and when j the eggs hatch into larvae, or cater-i pillars, feeding, otherwise damage,] commences at once. As the young; larvae are very sensitive to light, they ; seek ont protected situations in the folds of furs or woolen garments, or, in the interior of upholstered furniture. Summer garments before being laid away for the winter should fife thoroughly brushed, beaten and shaken, preferably in strong sunlight. Tf there are n- air-tight trunks or chests handy, the clothing should be placed in cotton or'paper bags'." or in car*-! board boxes sealed with strips of: paper. As an alternative, Ihe clothing! should be wrapped in two thicknesses ! of strong wrapping paper, taking care 1 that the edges are turned so that the moths cannot gain entrance. The con-! trol of moths which infest clothes is fully discussed in a circular preparec by the Entomological Branch of tl Dominion Department of Agricult - Winter td Fox rHarold Knight ........... 60 Sandv Rutherford ........ 52 Mabel Sam.is ............ 52 Jean Joss ................ 51 Betty Rowsome .......... 48 Ruth Sheldrick .......... 46 Ruth McMurray.......... 45 Elsie Carter ............. 44 Irene Kemp .............. 41 Milton Waller............ 41 Marion Kemp............ 39 I Marion Joice ............ 38 George Bell.............. 37 Victor Labatt ............ 37 Edith Carter ............. 24 RATIONS FOR DAIRY COWS jwo important factors must be considered in formulating rations for dairy cows. The supply of feed on hand, or available at a cost in keeping with the value of the product to be produced, and the selection of feeds that 'will suppH- the necessary food nutrients in a palatable form, plus sufficient variety and bulk. Data secured at the Dominion Experimental Farm, show that the cheapest supply of feed is secured from our own farms. In other words, Some-grown feeds are the most eco- It is generally recognized that on the majority of farms sufficient protein cannot be produced to supply the dairy cows with the necessary requirements. By producing clover or alfalfa hay. however, along with roots or ensilage and the common cereal crops, it: has been demonstrated during the past three years that the only feed purchases necessary are small amounts of high protein supplements. One supplement that is produced in Eastern Canada is fish meal. With any ration made up of feeds grown in Eastern Canada, a mineral supplement such as ground limestone and bone char is necessary. When fish 1 is fed, this is not essential, but excellent insurance in any case.
