UX GLEBANACW - ' ' ICanlimmz'from Page 21 The average ranch consists of a number of pens with high walls of wire, sunk several feet in the ground, to prevent the foxes from burrowing to freedom. A wire shelf is placed at the top as a barricade to prevent them from climbing over. In each pen is a den for the housing of the animals in severe weather. Generally speaking, foxes will eat anything the ordinary dog will eat. They relish milk Qnot skimmedj, meats, cereals, and prepared biscuits. ln the pure-bred stock, however, greater care must be given to the feeding. Meat should be fed sparingly. The diet must be balanced properly so that they do not become too lean to be of inferior pelt value, or too fat to be comfortable. The Dominion Department of Agriculture maintains at Summerside, Prince Edward QHDALERE FLAMMAM Island, a fully equipped and thoroughly modern Experimental Fox Station where extensive re- search and practical ranching experiments are conducted. Every year a silver fox exhibition has been featured at the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto. The great majority of the prizes offered at it for silver foxes have been consist- ently won by Prince Edward Island animals. The permanence of this industry is well assured. Both soil and climatic conditions in Prince Edward Island are peculiarly adapted to the production of line furs. Farmers often add a few pairs of foxes to their present farming stock and thus make a new earning department. Success depends largely on three factors: -pro- curing proven breeding-stock of high quality, on selecting the proper type from a fur-trade point of view at a price as near to a pelt basis as possible, and last but not by any means least. on skilful care and feeding of the foxes.

UX GLEBANACXQQQ- - - I lConlinuedfrom Page 13 Homesn we will foregather and in petulant voices berate the rising generation and eulogize the old days. To-day is certainly starting something, it is all very sad! No, it is not ALL very sad. This isn't an occasion for unrelieved gloom and pessimism. Everything comes to an end, school-days not excepted, and although we are leaving behind all these things we are carrying away with us an education. By this I don't mean that we know everything that there is to be known and that we can stop. If we have been rightly taught we will never stop, and even if we don't stop we will never know all there is to be known. This is not the muddled and dis- couraging prospect it seems. How many of us will remember Calways granting that we know alreadyj, what the third person plural, perfect subjunctive active, of 'credo' is, or the fif- teenth term of the expansion of a binominal to a negative index, or the idiosyncrasies of the various kings of England Qexcept perhaps Henry the Eighthb? Very few, I hope. Education has been defined as what remains after you have forgotten all these things, and it is a good definition. An educated man is not a storehouse of uncommon and ill-sorted information-no one aspires to become a walk- ing encyclopedia. In the words of an adver- tisement, we can let paper, textbook, encyclo- pedias, etc., do our remembering. Nor does this mean that we don't have to learn any- thing, no paper can remember for us things that we never knew, but in the future it will become evident to us that many of the details we learned in school have no practical value. All the Latin we will remember will be a few tags, and even these are going out of fashion. Even mathematics and the sciences will be of practical value to none but a few of us. Hence it is the broad principles underlying and com- mon to all learning that we should value. The habits of thinking and the mental discipline inculcated by our work here at Collegiate are QQHQALERE FLAMMAM the true benefits we have derived from these five years. Our associations with the teachers outside of lesson hours have been very bene- ficial to us. We have gained some intimation of viewpoints other than our own, we have made the discovery that teachers were human beings. Many of us have had our interest stimulated and directed into channels outside the academic curriculum by joining some of the many school societies. The Camera Club has shown us that there was a great deal more to photography than pressing the button, send- ing the film to the drug store, and then blaming the druggist for making Aunt Mar- tha's feet too big. The Science Club has proved that chemistry has things other than stained fingers and funny smells to offer. The Drama Club, the Lycei and the Debating Society have all broadened our outlook. Athletics have had their influence, and social activities have played their part. Not the least painful aspect of leaving is parting -from the friends we have made at school. School friendships have a tendency to become the deepest and most lasting of all. Many of them continue and grow during after-life, but there are some faces here around us that we will never see again. We may in- tend to keep up the acquaintance, but circum- stances have an unpleasant way of intervening. A great number of our friends are fourth- formers who will be filling our places next year. It is not in a spirit of boasting that We hope they will profit from our example, they may also proHt from our mistakes. The Hfth year is the most difiicult year and we wish these Hfth-formers-to-be, all success. Now I have come to the end. It is usual to devote this part of the valedictory to offering the fourth form a lot of well-meaning but, I am afraid, rather futile advice. So futile is it, that I will close simply with the wish that the fourth forms and the rest of the school besides, will profit from and enjoy their fifth year as we have ours.
