together for a complete campaign of 

 public education. Perhaps no or- 

 ganization has such heavy respon- 

 sibilities laid upon it as the church, 

 because while many communities may 

 be without any other organization 

 it is difficult to find one that has 

 absolutely no Church life. There 



should also be concerted effort on 

 the part of the authorities, provincial 

 and local, to create in the minds of 

 every Nova Scotian, without regard 

 to age or sex, that proper attitude 

 toward public affairs, \\'ithout which 

 the Province can never hope to 

 attain its full development. 



Demarcation Promotes Settlement 



It has been often thought that 

 there is antagonism between settle- 

 ment and forest demarcation. There 

 is really no more antagonism between 

 them than between two banking 

 accounts in the same bank. If the 

 bank is so badly conducted as not 

 to keep these iwo accounts clear, 

 the depositors cannot be blamed for 

 taking each what he best can in the 

 general confusion! But that is a 

 poor bank in which to place one's 

 confidence. Such a bank represents 

 the country with no forest demarca- 

 tion. All through Australia I have 

 seen failure amongst forest settlers, 

 dumped down without discrimina- 



tion on ground which should have 

 formed part of the national forest 

 estates of the country, while what 

 Australia is going to lose in the con- 

 fusion we can get a glimpse of in the 

 estimate of 588,000,000 pounds ster- 

 ling as the loss through bad P'orestry 

 during the next 30 years. (Z). E.
