It is supposed to be a native of Southwestern Asia and the Mediterranean region. There are two types, the bitter and sweet. The bitter almond appears to be the original, the sweet may have been an accidental variety. Today the latter is grown extensively in Southern Europe and in California. The almond was known in England in the 11th century as the Eastem Nutte-Beam. It is used to some extent in medicinal and other preparations, but the nuts are chiefly used for eating. There are hard shell, soft shell and some specially thin- shelled varieties known as paper shells. The long almonds of Malaya, known as Jordan almonds and the broad almonds of Valencia are the most valued. Neilxon 'x use only tbehnest selected almomls in their Confeftiom.

14 'THE VOTAGEUR A DEIDSDNAI. WUI? ID A ' THESE ARE TRouBLous TIMES. Day after day our newspaper brings us stories of strife in various parts of the world, it reports a ii V- new rising tide of unemployment and economic distress with their attendant human miseryg it carries the story of man's inhuman' ity to man the world o'er. This is not the time or the place to expand at length on these - matters. It is, rather, my pleasure to indicate that in spite of the shadows which hang over us, there is still youth, there is still hope' fulness and optimism and that there is still idealism. It would rather be my purpose to stress the fact that underneath the chaos and turbulence of our present world, there are fundamental and eternal values,-that in the final analysis, might, force and strength are not the ultimate arbiters of human destiny. Those of us who are faced with the task of education in these diilicult days full well realize the responsibility that is ours,Aif preparing young men to enter a world that may probably be a more diflicult one than any that their forefathers have experienced. The following pages carry the record of another year of activity in Pickering College. It has been a year of pleasant associations,-a year with its due proportions of success and failure in a great variety of activities. Through it all, however, we have tried to emphasize the fact that there is a place in the scheme of things for men of goodwill and earnest purpose. Amid the routine of our daily life it has been our endeavour to inculcate in young lives a love of the true, the good and the beautiful, and to develop in them a confidence that these values are supreme and eternal. To those members who have served conscientiously on committees and executives, to all my colleagues on the staif, I offer my very sincere thanks for the year just closed. It is the first year of our second decade since the reopening of the school in 1927. It is my earnest hope that the success of this year may be an augury of further success in the years to come and that the happiness of this year together may be a constant stimulus to renewed effort on behalf of the young manhood of Canada.
