These were held during the noon-hour recess lMondays and Thursdays! for eight weeks. At the end of each course a medical doc- tor, L. A. Loree, B. T.

This year at each of the classes some stu- dents from the John F.

LOUDOUN In my interview with Dr. J. R. Loudoun in early December. I learned much concerning the requirements for a doctor and the actual life of a practising doctor in this twentieth century. It was the hope of Dr. Loudoun that the readers of Acta Nostra might also gain much from it. Dr. Loudoun stressed that the desire to help people should be the major factor in determining a student to choose this par- ticular profession. A student wishing to be- come a doctor must have an interest in people, not as machines but as human be- ings. He must, of course. also have a high academic standing. A high standing in math- ematics as well as a knowledge of several

languages is necessary. In addition to these it is important for him to have the ability to join in extra-curricular sports and other activities in school along with the ability to mix socially: the latter ability may later be the factor which makes him either a success- ful or unsuccessful doctor. Although the cost of the medical course is high, Dr. Loudoun said that the desire to enter this profession could obtain success ACTA NOST RA 8 I for the student if this desire was strong enough and that therefore lack of finances should not discourage students from consid- ering medicine. At present there is a shortage of doctors and in most areas more work than the doctor can handle. Dr. Loudoun thought that it was wise for a person to have a few years of general practice before entering a post graduate course. foreign languages TOUSIGNANT Mademoiselle Cete Chez Les Tousignant Apres beaucoup de travail et de prepara- tion par les Tousignant, tout etait pret fi recevoir la nouvelle maitresse d'ecole. Luzina attendit son arrivee avec agitation. Enfin, voici ce qu'elle vit: Mlle Cote etait tres jeune et jolieg elle portrait un beau costume, un petit chapeau de paille avec une plume rouge, des souliers aux talons hauts, et dans ses mains gantees elle avait un sac de cuirg c'etait une vision delicate. Pendant la premiere journee fi l'e-cole, il y eut une lecon de geographie. D'abord personne ne sut dire le nom de la province 01:1 ils vivaientg Pierre dit au hasard, La Poule d'Eau, mais ce ne fut pas correct. Enfin, aide par la maitresse, Edmond dit que c'etait le Manitoba. Luzina, qui etait assise au dehors sous la fenetre de l'ecole. au lieu de faire un gateau, avait entendu toute la lecon et elle etait fachee contre ses enfants pour ne pas avoir su le nom de leur province. Pour la recreation, la classe alla a une surface plane de l'ile, jouer et chanter avec la maitresse. En route ils passerent la mere sans faire signe de la main et sans lui parler. Dans les jeux les eleves riaient comme ils n'avaient jamais ri avant. et ils s'amusaient beaucoup. Luzina vit que la maitresse gagnait le coeur des enfants. Ils l'admiraient beaucoup et ils pensaient plus de ses opinions que de celles de leur mere. Luzina devenait tres jalouse, mais elle savait bien que c'etait la le prix de 1'instruction. fJean Toy XIIIB EINE ANEKDOTE Es War einmal eine Lehrerin, die zer- streut war.

In urbe Guelph sunt complures colles in quibus sunt magnae et pulchrae domus et ab quibus est gratus despectus reliquarum partium urbis. Per eam fluit flumen Speed. In quo sunt multi pontes quibus cives flumen transire possunt. In latis viis urbis sunt multae arbores omnium generum et in hortis civium sunt multi flores pulcherrimi. In ea incolunt circiter triginta milia ho- minum quorum plurimi in Canada nati sunt sed sunt quoque multi qui ad Canadem ex omnibus terris Europae Venerunt. Multa aedificorum ex lapidibus facta sunt. Sunt aegris corpore duo magna aedificia, aegris mente Homewood Sanitariumg sunt tria theatra, multa templa, multa alia aedi- ficia et privata et publica. Multae officinae novae nuper factae sunt in quibus multae utiles res a milibus fabrorum fiunt. Praeterea sunt tria collegia: in primo homines agri culturae, in altero scientiae veterinariae student: in tertio puellae adultae scientiae domesticae student. Praeterea sunt multae scholae, aliae ad pueros puellasque parvas, aliae ad adulescentes aptae. Felices sumus nos qui in hac urbe pul- cherrima habitamus. Urbem nostram ama- mus. -Alan McNaughton XIA
