He gree to be takem im ome or other of 'the special branches of emginm- eering. He said it was unreasonable to expect a student to take a de gree, in the short time at his dis- posal, if this had to cover all branches of engineering sciemce. Sir William pointed out the great achievements of engineers in the more important fields-- the building of huge liners; the imtro- duction of electric tramways; the development of turbine systems which revolutionized water trans- port; the ceration of ever-new, high speed machinery which makes pos- sible all kinds of manufacture; ven- tilation systems and many other improvements which benefit the mines of the world; and develop- ment in the electric world which perhaps is the most spectacular of all advances in years, and which enables cheap light, heat and pow- er for the masses. In this latter connection he paid special tribute to the leadership of hydro-electrical experts of Canada. CIVIL AVIATION ENTERS NEW ERA Experimental Stage Pass- ed and Empire Air Devel- opment Reached London, Sept. 28. --The end of the experimental stage in British important developments in Empire air communications 1s signallized by the announcement of Imperial Airways' first dividend. Operation costs on British air ways have now been cut to one-third, and it is hoped that before long London will be lin' d by high-speed aeroplane service with the Dominion capitals, Already, disregarding the regu- lar London-continental services, British planes are flying on sched- ule between Cairo and Bagdad. A weekly service to India will be opened in the next few months, New flying boats, built to carry 15 passengers in a capacious hoat- hull over distances of more than 500 miles without a stop, have eivil flying and the beginning orf || seen civil flying in Britain and Europe make greater strides than in any earlier year. This new form of transportation is beginning to make inroads on the traffic of the railways, roads and steamers. The luxurious modern air limer offers advantages over evem the latest train and finest steamer over a short distance. Women travellers, who in former years shunned the air lines, are now the majority of passengers on the cross-channel air liners. : PORPOISE KILLING PLAN Quebec, Sept. 27--Solution of the rpoise problem in the lower St. phn which this year ruined the cod harvest for fishermen of the north shore, has been found by the Department of Fisheries, which will organize porpoise fishing at_seven points ANY at the same time give $100 to aech fisherman willing to build a boat large enough for fishing well out at sea. 4 The porpoises hug the shore, it has been found by experts. The Govern- ment also has learned that, in the past, the fishermen have plotted their grounds off shore. Phone 193 W. J. SARGANT Yard--89 Bloor Street, E. | Orders Promptly Delivered IN LOWER ST LAWRENCE | URGES ATTENTION ON GREATER SCALE T0 GEOGRAPHY Prof, Myres Tells British Assoc'n It Is Essential . to Geography i Glasgow, Sept. 28--Ancient geo- graphy's importance on the curriculum of the schools and universities was urged before the geographical sec- tion of the British Association for the Advancement of Science by Prof. John Myres, the sectional president, at the British Association meeting here a few days ago. Prof. Myres stressed the fact that geography was closely interwoven with history, and the one could not be studied regardless of the other. He thought it particularly opportune at this time, when rumors were being heard.about the introduction in Brit- ish schools of a. "new phase in edu- cation" to define the value of geo- graphy and to ensure that its claims were put forward. "Geography, as its name indicates, is the systemamc description of this earth of ours," said Prof. Myres. "But description is not an end in itself. The end, to which it is the means, is a science of the earth, an understanding and interpretation of its meaning. Like all other depart- ments of science, it presumes two things: an intelligence to which this significance is interpreted, and what I will only describe now,as intelligi- bility of the facts of observation in relation with each other in geco- graphical science the relation of these facts with cach other is their relation in space; the geographer ascertains, records, com- pares and interprets distributions, the arr: ment of things on or in rela- tion to the surface of the earth. "Obviously, in this general sense, geography is the coequal sister-sci- ence of history, which studies and interprets the relations of events in time. History originally meant (as its name also indicates) the process of following or tracking something which has gone before, and left trace or trail; and it is applied, like the name of geography, to the rec- orded result of such {ollowing-up! Like geography, it begins with, de- scription and proceeds to interpret. But whereas the geographers obser- vations are for the most part wveri- fiable at will--for he can go back to a place and see it again--the histor- ian is always to this extent behind the times, that he can never catch up historical events at all, still less can he have them repeated, however closely the new devics of phonograph and photograph may stimulate such repetition." The speaker deplored the fact that the necessity for co-ordination of brain, hand and eye, stressed in ele- mentary training, seemed to be ig- norud as the educational ladder was ascended. He explained that in ev- ery other aspect of learning and ad- vanced study competent use of the | Concrete Works Is Your Address for CEMENT BLOCKS And Cement Bricks special symbols and notation was an elementary necessity. But it was am- azing to him how ill-equipped were most students of literary or histori- cal sibjects when it came to a ques- tion of describing anything other- wise than in grammatical longhand. It was not merely that they were LETT, NICHOLLS AND HALLATT Real Estate Insurance and Loans Phone 3254 poor draughtsmen; it was rather that they do not do their thinking about 11 King 8t, East, Oshawa Real Estate--Insurance Disney King st.

So long as a numerous and in- fluential class of public servants and legislators was recruited from uni- versities when indifference to geo- graphical considerations lasted long- est, Prof. Myres thought so long would the geographical aspect of historical study continue to be over looked, A uses; Money to loan at 6% per ceut, first mortgages.
