The tracks of the trolley were situated within a stone's throw of the steam road, the pgssing of a car under full headway and heavily load- od introduced the subject.

Another gentioman (a S00p mamufscturer) stated that his factory was located on 'the line of the road and he delivered to the electric line and aver of seven cars of ight per week, and beside saving a large amount in charges he rot much more speedy delivery than by the Steam road. A third gentléman, in an- Swear to a question as to whether the 'operation of these interurban lines did not cut heavily into the receipts of the steam roads, stated that at pres. ent they did, but that the steam ould soon make it up, as || through the introduction of the trol. {ley the whole Mohawk Valley was be. ing built up very fast. Great numbers of new dwellings were being erected, new industries, attracted bv the cheap ond effective service these lines are } srving, were locating in nearly all of {he towns, and thd Mohawk Valley is o-dav enjoying more prosperity and growing faster than it had ever dono before, and at it was almost entire- ly due to the operation of the inter. ds, and that in a short roa time the population and industries would so "increase that the steam road would, through such increase, get additional returns. 5 © itl Make Great Strides.

GORDON TO MINISTER: ists' Case. upon this matter that there'are cor tain points on which the three uni- agreed also in desiring a higher stan- dard of qualification for all candi- dates, but for very difierent reasons. Queen's desires it because there is_al- ready a superabundant supply of leg- ally qualified teachers in the province. Toronto desires it because of the al leged inequalities in the attainments of specialists, and the need of great ef uniformity. As a 'striking instance of such inequality," the representatives of Toronto University sav that 'spe cialists' certificates are being grant- ed to extra-mural students, who have mever attended a university class." "As there are more extra-mural stu- dents in Queen's than in anv other aniversity in the province, this allu- sion is probably = directed against 's. I can find, however, only five specialists in écience who have pradu- ated from this university without at- daiiing clase, They are all now in Institutes; Lee, of St. Tho- mas; Turner, of Hamilton; Gavin, of Windsor; Jewelt, of Chatham. and Licbuer, of Ottawa. Their records are public and speak for themselves. At the same time, I may add that the practice of graduating specialists without attendance has been discon- tinued at Queen's." Dr. Gordon, concludes by referring to the proposed establishment of a test examination by a board anpoint- ed for this purpose: . "The evils con nected with such a svstem of outside examinations have often been insisted upon and need not here be emphasiz- ed. If by this means we might seem to gain uniformity, it would not sive Us anv puarantee of increased efficien- cy, and it is efficiency, not mere uni- formitv. that we desire in our teach- ers, The discussion of the subject has already shown how difficult it would be to determine the limits of such an examination, the advocates of the ex- amining board having left it quite in- definite whether the test should be one of special or of general knowl- edge. It might be even more difficult to determine how such a board of ex- aminers should be constituted. "The reference to Germany contain ed in the memorandum gives no licht nor help, as the conditions there are #0 widely different from ours. The pre- sent system, so far as has been shown is working well, and can be readily extended 'to meet anv such applica tion as that of McGill. Anv imperfec- tions in it are easily within the con- trol of the department of education, and until such imperfections are speci fied, and the department finds it be- yond its power to remedy them, it would surely be the wiser course to refrain from makine such n serious change ox that which has been pro- posed." ------------ To Begin Work Soon.

It can only be surmised. The board is having the throats of al the employees carefully examined every couple of days, and will continue to do so till the trouble is past. In fu- ture, a nurse after coming off duty in the diphtheria ward, will not be al- lowed to go on duty until her throat is bacteriologically cleaned and dis- infected, no matter if this takes two weeks." -- Take Down The Notices.
