establishment of that department which looks after her live stock. 
Toronto, with her veterinary school, Montreal with her vete¬ 
rinary college, turn out yearly a number of graduates, whose life 
is to be devoted to the welfare of her horses, cattle, pigs, &c., and 
now Halifax comes and joins them by the opening of her vete¬ 
rinary institute. Three veterinary institutions! While in the 
United States, in our Republic which, with right, boasts of her 
standing in science, in art and in manufactures, &c., we have 
only .... two veterinary colleges, and both in the same State 
and in the same city. Montreal and Toronto are already 
old schools; they have done their proofs; they are to-day 
a success, which every year increases. Halifax, with her new 
elected board, comes now in the field and may prove a serious 
competitor. But in the United States we remain at a stand-still. 
Why is this ? Is it because Canada is English, and that she takes 
from her mother country the respect and appreciation that vete¬ 
rinarians enjoy at home. Why should she grant annually to 
these schools funds to help them to not only carry on their work 
but to improve it ? 
To the student of political economy this will give an opportu¬ 
nity for serious thoughts and bring to his mind the necessity 
already so well pointed out in the papers of Messrs. Billings and 
Paaren, and also in the pages of the Review, viz., that of en¬ 
couraging the establishment of a national veterinary school.
