The raco -that was going to win was tho race which was'careful, hardworking, educated, and thrifty, and a nation which did nbt have its people so t'rained.was doomed and damned, and nothingxould save it.Tlfis.was what they had to .do in dealing.with the enterprise of' the country. '.'lf," declared Sir Robert, "we don't keep this industrial .banner flying there is.no hope ■ for. the. future of the race in this country." He hoped that they would'not'stop at the installation of a mining school; but also that some day .an agricultural college ..would be established at which the farmer' would bo turned out a lc&rned and fully-qualified man.
