Washington The wheat advisory
committee believes 1931 wheat prices
will sink to levels far below produc
tion costs if the crop is average. The
committee, established by grain co
operatives, sketched this pessimistic
outlook in a resolution adopted at a
meeting in Chicago last week and
filed Tuesday with the farm board.
"The present indications are," the
committee said, "that with an aver
age wheat crop this year prices ob
tainable will be far below the cost
of production, causing great loss and
hardship to American farmers."
The committee called on all pro
ducers to co-operate in curtailing
production and controlling the flow
of wheat into the market to avert,
if possible, disastrous price declines.
A crop ranking among the five larg
est in histcry has been forecast for
this ear, which, together with exist
ing heavy surpluses, serves to com
plicate the domestic wheat situation.

Powerful IGA buying connections enable BLACK AND WHITE to give its cus
tomers every price advantage and at the same time retain the personal interest of
100' home ownership. Quality and price go hand in hand and it has never been
the policy of this store to cut the former in order to reduce the latter. On this basis
we have built up a steadily growing business, which indicates people still KNOW
and appreciate quality even in this day when price alone is so often considered.

Teacher Decries
Emphasis Placed
on Examinations
Memoriding and Repeating Facts Is
JNot Heal Culture, Cana
dian Says
Toronto Rigid school examina
tions were denounced by Dr. Hamil
ton Fyfe, principal of Queens Uni
versity, at the final session of the
Ontario Educational Association con
vention. Emphasis placed on examinations
is a mistaken means to an end, he
said. Education means a free inter
play between the teacher and the
child, and anything that cramps the
teacher in the exercise of his great
craft and turns him into a sort of
gramhophone meances genuine cul
ture, he declared.
Examinations, he said, incite stu
dents to repeat what they havp
.Memorized and to write down, not
their own ideas, but what they feel
they ought to write. In this way false
standards of values are et up as !f
the search for truth was only valu
able in the rewards received. Dr.
Fyfe continued:
"The certificate is the hall-mark of
knowledge received, duly punctuated
and duly delivered. And people want
the hall-mark whether they have
educated themselves or not."
Criticism of the secondary schools
of America was voiced by M. W. Wal
lace, president of the association. He
called attention to their disregard of
the pupil with rare ability, their dis
organized curriculums, their lower
ing of standards so that large num
bers of pupils should pass the exam
inations, wastage due to the large
number of pupils leaving school at
the end of thf first and second years,
and their mediocrity in teachers as
wel las their failure to give culture
That by law prohibitong the sale
of tobacco to minors should be strict
ly enforced or removed from the sta
tute books of Ontario was expressed
in a resolution, and indorsed by the
association.
