This course is one well worth taking. It gives both a bird's eye view of Geography as a whole, and a foundation for further work in the field. It deals with agriculture and extractive industries, subjects interesting in themselves. Although the marking in Geography 1 is stringent, not much work is required. Emphasis is laid on thought rather than memory. Besides these advantages it offers an excellent way of passing off half of the science requirement...

Nearly all magazines entering Canada from...
...convention gravely assembled, the publishers delivered themselves of three wordily ambitious resolutions: i) that the Federal Radio Act be amended to subject radio broadcasters to the same stringent regulations against lottery and gift-prize advertisements as now apply to newspapers in the postal laws; 2) that broadcasts of news be confined to press associations and newspapers; and that radio programs be published by newspapers as paid advertising only; 3) that the legality of "Government protected" broadcasting of direct advertising on exclusively assigned wavelengths be questioned as unfair competition...
