Professor Claims Mind A-.td i^sr Should Be Trained SAINT JOH.N. N. C.-Ihe logical place to start teaching music ap- preciation Is In tho schools, Harold S. Hamcr, F.R.C.O.. professor at Mount .\;lison Univi-rsity. declared here in a lecture on "Helping: the Listener to Listen." From an early age children ware rcspon.sive to music, and my system o' school raxiau: ne^ileriing f'e ap- preciation aspect w;;.-' '.ncompli'ti . he asserted. Appreciation meant more tha liking music, lit defined the term "to appreeiatt'" im ylating a price on something and estimating its value. This could not be done without full understanding. Professor HanxT strcsscJ the great difference between hearing and listening. The latter was active, rcviuiring the full co-operation of the mind as well as the ear. while henr- i'.ig was merely pass)''e. "Many people listen by 'soaking up' music through the emotions without active co-operation of the m'nd,' he said. A keen ear aikil a mind alert to peiccive beauty of de- tail as well as points of interest were essential for true enjoyment and were the listener's contribution. That the Bank of Montreal is in an extremely strong position and has further buttressed its reserves and that the economic outlook in Canada warrants greater confi- dence than for several years past, were features emphasized at the annual meeting of shareholders of the institution, held recently in Montreal. Both the president, Sir Charles Gordon. G.B.E. and W. A. Bog, joint general manager, stressed the abundant evidence that the forces of recovery are now in the ascendant, and dwelt on the feel- ing of confidence which they found prevailing in every phase of the Dominion's economic activity. Sir Charles Gordon, president, in his address named as the five fundamental features outstand- ing in Canada's progress during the past year: the recovery in ag- riculture, the extraordinary activi- ty in mining, the all-time record in newsprint production, the grati- fying increase in the tourist trade, and the striking expansion in our exnort trade. He dwelt particularly on the mining industry which, according to a recent survey by the bank, would seem to be "the g:reatest contributor to the federal income tax." Better Things .\head For Canada He had a word of warning re- garding provincial legislation in relation to debts, saying in res- pect to talk of repudiation that he could not see how this line of thought could be pursued without the credit of the whole Dominion coming into disrepute. Sir Charles closed his remarks on an optimistic r.ote, saying: "Wo still have problems to face but. as regard? these problems I stand squarely on the opposite side of the fence from the pessimists and f believe that, with the experience gained in th oast few years, we in Canada will steadilv work our way toward better things." Bank*s Position Extremely Strong Presenting the 119th annual bal- ance sheet of the Bank, W. A. Bog. on behalf of himself and â- Jackson Dodds. his fellow general manager, drew attention to the fact that the total assets of the hank had increased from $792,800,- 000 a year ago to $805,100,000 at the present time, and pointed out that the extremely stron;, position of the bank was rvflected in quick assets totalling SfiOfi.SOO.OOO. re- presenting S3.27'"r of all liabilities to the public. In informing the meeting of the transfer of $1,000,- 000 to reserve account, Urin^ing ! i^his no to «39.0n0.00n. Mr. Bog. j said that this sum was held as a I nroteetion for the hank's deposit, ors. "That is to sav." ho remark- ed, "as nrotpction for deposit lia- bilitie.« we have not only lOCo in conservatively valued assets, but in addition we have a.ssets ropres- cntin(T SSfi.OOn.OOO of capital and Sr^O.OOn.Onn ir reserve account." Savings Interest Rate .Mr. Bog expressed regret that it had been found necessary to reduce to IM'^r per ann im the rate of in- 'erest paid on savings deposits, say- ing the reduction had been made with reluctance, and it was only the continued decline in the yield on securities and the lo^' level of commercial loans that had com- r?'!cd the banks to take the step.

At the moment, the -â- ^ct is before the Privy Council, with British Co- lumbia arguing on its behalf. However, there have been cred- ible reports that the present admin- istration at Ottawa favors full gov- ernment control of export marset- ing schemes, rather than merely set- ting up machinery for the producers to appoint or elect their own con- trol boards.

The pain.s were all over my body and some days could not even get up from bed to go to work. A friend visited iiie and suj;- gested that 1 should try Kruschen Salts. I did so. the result being that the pains seemed to gradually dis- appear. I have been going to work •ver since without a break, thanks to Kruschen Salts, and I feel a new man."â€" A.K. Rheumatic conditions are fre- quently the result of an excess of uric acid in the body. Two of the ingredients of Kruschen .Salto are notahl,.' for their work m dissolving uric acid. Other ingredients as.sist Nature to expel the dissol-.ed acid from the system. Red Clover Seed Shows Big Increase The total production of red clover seed in Canada in 1036 is estimated at 1,910.000 pounds as .tgainst 4,- 500,000 pounds in 1935 and 1,900,- 000 pounds in 1934. The decreased production this year was due to ex- cessive humidity at the lime of har- vesting in eastern Ontario and (Que- bec, where prospects were good for a larger crop earlier in the seasoa. TIte western Ontario yit'd was reduced by severe drought during the Summer and Fall. Some seed was grown also this year in British Columbia and Ne.v Brunswick. The total carry over from last se.ison in all Canada is estimated at 700,000 pounds, which when added to this year's production would total about 2,000,000 pounds of domestic seed available a.s against an estimated an- nual consumption around 4,000,000 pounds. Wolves of the Deep Blucfish, savage wolves of the deep, are .vandereis and > i lally travel in large schools, devouring and destroying everything before them. One observer says that a single b.'uefish can devour or destroy a thousand other fish in a single day. Theit attack is so vicious that all smaller fish flee before them. They have been known to drive scrools of menh.o.den up on the beachei where they v,rore piled s foot and mere deep. The bluefish first appear in mid- March off the coast of the Caro- linas, and work northward as th» weather gets warmer The run con- tinues iiti the .New Fngland coast until the middle of October Then they disappear, and no one has yet iiiscovered where they go The average weight of the blue- fish is from three to six pounds. S century ago, it was not an uncom- mon occurrence when a fisherman hauled in a fifty-pound fish. Today the largest bluefish seidom runs over I twenty pounds.

K*ni Co., .Mil., ToroDto. iMue No. 51 â€" '36 0â€"1 I Hint of important developments in I the Department of .Agriculture at Ottawa was given by George B. Kothwell, Dominion livestock com- I missioner, in his address to Middle- j sex Dairy Cattle Breeders at Dor- ' Chester, observes the Woodstock ] Sentinel-Review. His forecast of "supervision and control" of new , markets for agricultural products, and a policy of sending out salesmen or ''commercial travelers'* to look after distribution seems to indicate that the government has in prospect some interesting and important en- terprises on behalf of Canadian far- mers. Under the Natural Products Mar- keting Act, subsequently found In- valid, producers of commodities prin- cipally exported were given facilities for organization by which they con- trol their own products until mar- keted abroad. Producers in some lines who took advantage of the legislation evidently found it useful, for they are endeavouring to carry on upon a voluntary basis. There has been quite a volume of opinion in favor of Parliament re-enacting a meas- ure of the kind, within the bounds of its jurisdiction. It has been held that the federal power cannot con- trol trade within the provrnces. but it is not disputed that the Dominion government has jurisdiction ovw export trade, and concurrent enab- ling legislation by the provinces in- What. no red ink? No failures? Thus many a surprised mother in Akron exclaimed when her young son or daughter brought home his report card for the first time this fall, says the Christian Science Moni- tor in a story from .\kron, Ohio. Outstanding indeed, was the ab- sence of red ink w^hich formerly marked failures. .And bomehow a new group of subjects had appeared alongside the old "readin', writin' and 'rithmetic." Even the card it- self was no longer called a "grade card" or a plain "report card", it seems; rather it was dignified by the title, "Scholarship Record." The new cards are the result of a suggestion of Ralph H. Waterhouse, superintendent of schools, who be- lieves that education is "a process of developing an individual's capacity to live a satisfactory life, rather than just a system of academic grading â€" and failures in red ink". The red ink which used to scream "failure'' at the pupil the minute he picked up his crd really did nothing but discourage the pupil in any attempt to better himseif, Mr. Waterhouse believes. Now, instead of the letters or numbers which used to mark pro- gress it includes a set of covering phrases. These include: "L'nusual work and rapid Progress." "Satis- I factory work and norma! progress." j "Acceptable work but slow progress" and "Little or no progress." The card explains that "little or no pro- ' gress" indicates "failure." Included in the group of new subjects are I "personal habits." "social habits," j and 'work habits". I The cards were developed by a large group of principals who have made a wide survey of pupils pro- gnress throughout the country. In explanation of the new ideas incor- porated on it, Mr. Waterhouse says, "Reports of pupil progress should- interpret to parents the fundamental objectives of the school, and give an made a wide survey of pupils' pro- grress towards this objective.* In the past, almost every school used a different kind of report card, ranging from the graph method, to letter grading or V.>tters supplement- ed with figures. .Now there are uni- form cards. No formal report card at all is used in the first grade, ac- cording to Mr. Waterhouse, because the need for close co-operation be- tween parents and teacher in that grade is so import-int that informal means of reporting progress should be used. In these grades teachers should visit the home frequently and par- ents should visit the school. Urges Higher Living Gauge Toronto. â€" Eradication of "cold, sickness, suffering " and the raising of the standard of living in Canada were urged by Dr W. R. Colbeck. Welland. president of the Ontario Medical As- sociation, in addressing the So-ilal Hygiene Club here. Dr. Colbeck said misery prodoced revolutions and something had to be done or there would be trouble In the Dominion. He declared it was a matter of prime Importance for the safety of Canada that something be done Im- mediately and not "put off until next year" to make life easier for the man on the street. At the present time, he added, the world was entering a period of pros- perity but it w-is certain this would go u,} until another slump would fol- low. Canada, therefore, should pre- pare for the future. He asked what ivas being done about unemployment insurance and health comfort of the people. He ex- pressed the belief so long as the masses were in a comfortable posi- tion they were "the most docile crea- tures."
