It is renported that only seventeen per cent. of the students writing the High School Entrance e.\'z1mi11atio11s in Toronto this year were success- ful. This, however, is not quite as bad as it might appear, as these were `candidates that were left after 4456 pupils had been admitted to the collegiates rwithout examination, simply upon the recommendation 0-! the principals of the schools. In the Dominion of Canada there is tl1ree billions of life insurance in force, an average of $333 per citizen. In the last ten years more insur- ance has been written for Cautarlians than in all the years before. All previous records were smashed in 1922 by many compauiies and to-day Canadians are as well protected for `the emergencies and eventualities 0f lilfe as those of any other nation.

We inter\'ie=\ved the Drury ;Government, but got no satisfaction, and the con- clusion was reached that it` the Government wished to hang then1- selves, it .was their vhusiness. The move was 1'egz1r(le(l as class legisla- tion ot` the most. pronounced `char- acter, a11d must sooner or later -`tvork an injury to commerce and `business, for the reason that the thanks must either raise the rate or reduce the aniount of loans.

Both these experiences cost the -western prov- inces a lot of money." In a statement to the press deal- ing with the causes of the defeat of the Drnry G'overnment, the Hon. .\Iann`in'g Doherty, among other things, gave the following piece of interesting imform-ation regarding his own views :--As you no dowbt knolw, I was one of the men \vho tried to keep the U.1<`.O. _from go- ing into politics in the first place, and I am more conwinceii than ever that I was right in this contention. The economic problem of the farm- ers went into npoiiitics and they weak- ened their position as business men because t.hey were divided on poli- tical Iines. I would like very much to go ahead with the co-operative marketing, and I intend to go ahead with it regardless of politics. We have all the machinery now and contracts signed. It will include fruit, tobacco, beans, honey and the products of the dairies of the Province. I hope the agriculturists of the Province see that their best interests lie in coming together as business men and not as politicians. I am more firmly convinced than ever that if they do this it will be the biggest step in adw'ance that agricultural Ontario can take. Phone 616. - Five Points Hon. J. S. Martin, the new Minis- ter of Agriculture, was given a royal reception by Noiifolk County electors on Monday. Thanking the multitude for the reception, the minister deplored the existing divis- ion between the rural and urban districts and stressed the gre.1t neces- city for a better understanding be- tween them. The present s_vstem of rural education was educatin:;_peop1e ot't' the Ifarnis. The present course of education here was framed for professional life and he believed that there should be more collabora- tion between the Departments ot Educ.a.tion and .\,t:riculture and that it was Premier Ferguson's intention to accomplish this. Hon. .\lr. .\Iar~ tin claimed Ontario's policy ot' immi- gration had been found wanting. The farmers were cryinr; for help and crops were rotting: because of the labor scarcity. I am a farmer, I never knocked any movement l'or the benefit 01` the farmers and I be- lieve I can accomplish lunch for them as a mennber of one of the t.wo old parties. Addresses were de- livered by Hon. Hugh Guthrie, Messrs. Stansell, W'ilson, Berry, Tre- twartha, Senator Fisher and others.

One of the most successful pieces of legislative endeavor ever under- taken by the League was the elimin- ation from the Bill between the rst and second readings of the grotesque array of graded penalties for the various speed ranges in excess of the legal limit. In accordance with the League's insistence and despite many recommendations that the legal rate of speed the reduced, no change has been made in the exist- ing limits. The legalization of the use of parliing lights and spotlights was another concession to the composite opinion 01' the motorists of the Province made articulate by and effective through the League.
