Meek made this state- "technical educa- of Education on "During my recent visit to the west n ial hour which was a visitation of the public schools, These schools were ' petter equipped than of Kingston, and the training whi is given in them ed to be further advanced. Of cofirse the schools in the larger cities of Cal- gary, Edmonton, and Winnipeg are so far superior to our schools, or to the schools generally of Ontario, that there is no ground for compari- son. In Winnipeg there are three tech- nical schools and a public school which are the finest I have seen. They are models of their class. The classes in them are as complete as in any school In Ontario, and the teaching is made so attractive that the boys and girls are ecger for in- struction and they give evidence of the mechanical and constructive gen- {us which they undoubtedly possess. The printing office in a Winnipeg high school was a complete institu- tion. Samples of the work done by some of the students I brought home with me, and they are suggestive of high talent and high teaching. They give evidence of success on the par: of those who are taking up the art préservative of all arts. What 1 learned during my investi- gation was this: That the substan- {al progress of the pupils in techni- al work 'was of great benefit to hem when they left school. They command better places, better pay, and they were certainly the superior of all those who were without this training. The various trades, there- fore, commended the schools. There was found in one public school wianual training such as is now be- ing given in the Macdonald school of this eity, under better conditions ~-larger room, better lighted and ventilated, and with better equip- ment. In Brandon, which is a city or 15, 000, The high and public schools have domestic science and manual training. Taking up domes- tie science there are over 150 stu- dents. The Suction has been asked. How 1s it that so few of the pupils of the institute in Kingston are Hie | Tedson Iv clagses of the insti tule » pod of Boys and girls, and that: a class, «composed give, canfiot be set apart for work = particular kind without some kind of work being assigned to the boys. In the high school in Brandon there is both domestic seience and technical training, and hence a larg- er number of boys and girls is given to those studies. In Brandon I found what I thought to be a model domestic science de- partment. Two rooms were set ap- art for the purpose. One was sub-di- vided so as to contain a model din- ing room, and a room for lectures or class review. The other room was used as a kitthen. The department was a model In regard to furniture, equipment, arrangements' of stores, and classification of goods. Kingston would rank high if it had anything like this department in Brandon, and there Is no reason why Kingston should not have it and have it with- out delay. Manitoba's school system is not in advance of Ontario's sure- Iy, nor is the school law superior, nor the regulations with regard to man- ual and technical training. At Fort William the central pub- lic school was the centre of attrac- tion and some time was spent in its kindergarten and domestic science roots. The Kindergarten, though good, it was not better than any of the kind departments of Kingston. y domestic science class commanded special attention, and ont regards m ng. the Board "0, Girls," Don't have sore. _galloused * puffed fect or fea of Jand they ought to be more success- or the following reaso : room was a large one, airy, well ven- tilated, (from above) and well equip- ped, (2) its t acher was am ex- pert in her class; (3) the scholars were ea;cr, alert, and attentive; and (4) the outfit of the department was of the best. Under the eircumstances it was not unreasonable to expect the vary best results, and they were be- ing obtained. EL At Moose Jaw I was induced to vi sit the public Mbrary which I was passing one afternoon, and found a placard in the hall that directed the visitors to see the public school ex hibit on the floor below. Here was an exhibit of the productions of the manual and domestic departments of Moose Jaw public schools. was sewing, knitting, darning, dress- making, millinary, art in all its branches, wood" and metal work, The exhibit was worthy of the con- spicious place of which it was as- signed in the best building in the city, and was the best exhibit of the kind that } had ever seen. I had net time to visit the schools, but the hibit suggested that Moose Jaw held its own In / practical teaching to which it was devoted. I returned jo Kingston {inspired with one dominating idea, namely, to preach better things in the de- partments which are somewhat be- hind in several respects. A contin- gency has arisen here also. the Mah ual training is configed to one room in the Macdonald schoel. It is poor- ly located, as compa with the manual training depart of the schools in the west, and it Is limited in its usefulness. The teacher, Mr. Hatch,is too good for the work in which he is engaged, and is Hable to leave Kingston where he can do better work and work which will be a crgdit to him- eelf and to the classess What He Snggests. Board of Education establish an industrial class in the institute build- ing, and equip It for advance work. My further suggestion is that Mr. Hatch be transferred, because he is qualified for higher work, and be- cause he has been fitting himself for more effective service during his va- cations. He must get room for expan- sion, for the development of his mind and work, or he must seek a suitable occupation elsewhere. It is quite apparent that techmical and domestic science departments must be installed in the institute as soon as possible, for the sake of the day pupils and for the sake of .the night classes which will be resumed after the summer vacation. Last year's classes, under the dir- ection of the industrial and commer- cial committees, were largely attend- and generally successful. Next year they should be better attended ful under the improved conditions. With regard to domestic science in the institute. The principal's con- tention is that without it technical education cannot be successfully car- ried on; that there must be work for the girls as well as the boys when they are separated from their clas- ses and for practical instruction. Moreover, mechanical drawing, which is the main feature of technical training, has been discontinued since manual training has heen con- fined to the public schools. It cannot be resumed until technical training is restored in the -institute, and the demand is keen for this. Finally, believing that our schools are deficient in some respects, and believing that the deficiency should be removed as soon as possible, it is resolved. -- Move for Improvement. Following up his address on indus- trial training, Trustee Meek moved two resolutions which were adopted. The first was that A. T. Hatch be ap- pointed industrial instructer, and that his present salary of $1,400 be increased to $1,600, The second was that a committee, composed of two representatives of the management committee, be appoisted to consider the manner in which the manual training and household science de- partment may be improved, the com- mittee to set to work at once, so as to have a report ready during the month of June to the end that the new building may be adapted to the changed conditions, and so the new classes can be opened as soon as pos- sible. The committee will he composed of Trustees Chown and Birkett, from the property committee; Wrus- tee Renton and H. Douglas from the industrial committee and 'Trustees Meek and Elliott from the manage- ment commitee. Trustee Birkett said he was very glad to see such action taken as pro- posed by Trustee Meek, and he was also pleased to know that a er had been secured who was so well qualified to receive the salary that a practical man for such a position should receive.

Montreal, June 12--"The failure »f the promoters to explain the whereabouts of the tremendous block of common stock which disappeared n the general melee of organiza- fon." said a banker, "has had an infavorable effect upon the Canad- fan investing public's attitude to ward the merger securities." When these observations were drawn to hjs attention, Mr. Carruth- ers remarked: "That is a very old story. Every company fhat has been promoted in Canada has kept a certain amount of common stock in reserve. In our case, vhat value it will have is still pro- btlematical. Certainly no dividends will be paid until they are earned For the present we have the prefer- "ed and the voting trust certificates | 19 look after, I have no doubt in my own mind that dividends upon them vill be entirely assurred.' alto- Dr. John R. Mott's Son. Dr. Howard A. Bridgman, editor of the Boston Congregationalist, in an article on John R. Mott, says: -- "If T were ever tempted to over estimate the intimacy of my acquain- 'ance with Dr. Mott I should only need to recall the gentle admonition 'atent in the remark of his son to we some years.ago, when meeting tim casually, I remarked that I knew his father well. "Is that so?" replied 'he lad. 'Well a good many people | know father whom father doesn't know.' The bright boy who adminis tered this rebuke to me, to the amu- jement of the cirele of friends who heard the remark, is, by the way, now 1 student at Pginceton, and keenly interested in missions, as his recent article in the North American stu- dent on a mission to lepers shows. ------------ Don't Look Depressed.
