2 Ft Duly ad pom mer, by CO, LIMITED FEEDING FOXES What is the best food for a black fox ? That is a new question for which dieticians have to find an answer, A quarter of a century ago, no per- son cared what food foxes ate, so long as reynard did not rob that par- ticular person's hen-roost But the estabMshment of the fox fur industry changed all that, The menu of the black fox has to be carefully studied. The selentists and the owners ore seeking to find best, and how they may be protected from worms. The correct answer to both these questions will be worth millions of dollars annually to the fox ranching industry, Important steps towards the solu- tion of the question have already been taken by the Council of Scien- tific Research at Ottawa, ee -------- BUY AT HOME, The advent of Easter and the proper name for the bootleg ot is ulcohell.

Are athletics te bo | | permitted to dominate the life of the | modern college? These are questions | which are disturbing the 'minds of {the authorities of Princeton Univer- | sity, and many other seats of learn- | ing in the United States. They are | becoming applicable to Canadian | universities, and this fact is causing | educational authorities to ponder | over the real functions of a college | or university. This controversy on the question of athletics and their relation to university life recalls the wealthy American who said that he | had spent five thousand dollars on | his son's university course, and on | being asked what he got back from his. investment, he naively replied that he had got a '"'quarter-back." What brought the matter to a head at Princeton was the contrast | afforded between a basketball game | and a debafing contest. Both were championship events, and Princeton | won both. At the debating contest | the attendance was one hundred and | fifty, but three thousand people saw | the basketball game. Yet the debate was free, and the price for admie- | sion for the basketball game was two | dollars. ~ At the debate, only five | members of the faculty of the univer- | sity were present, and four of these | acted as coaches, yet virtually the whole faculty attended the athletic! event. Then, to complete the con- | trast, the metropolitan newspapers | of the United States had hardly a | line to say of the debating duel, but | devoted columns to Princeton's ac- | hievement in winning the basketball | title. To start a eontroversy between ths relative values of sport and mental ! achievement, especially in a univer- | sity city, is to court trouble, for there | are advocates of both sides of the.! academic life. There are those who say that a university would not be a university without {its great list of sporting events.
