P. Wilgar on "The Relation of the Engineer to the Contractor. Before opening his address he saul that it was twelve years since he had atfendedh meeting of the society and it was like old times to be there again. In opting his addréss he described the professionalism of engineers and recommended the Engineering So- crety to get speakers from the en gineering profession and get them in- terested -in the, work at Queen's He described the relation of the engineers work to that of the contractor. An engineer makes designs and lays out the: building while the contractor furnishes the organization and busi- ness management. The chief en- gineer on every specification has a! very great responsibility for the pre- | cisioh of the work. He is always extended great courtesies by the con- { tractor, but never accepts them fo a very great extent because the m= timacy h#tween contractors and en-} 'Igincers lead to unavoidable failures in specifications. The speaker described several instances of the courtesy of engineers to their workmen. Courtesy is the warthword of the profession. In clésiig the nrofessor said: "Stu- dent engineers, you have thé honor of belonging to one of the most honest organizations in the world today, 'Fair and Just' is our motto.

The wants and claims the Kingston Day Nursery are again brought to the attention of the pub- lic, in connection with the relief expressed by city aldermen. Num- bers of women have applied asking the officers to find them work be- cause their 'husbands cannot either get work, or are earning so little that it is not enough to support the family. They experience great diffi- culty in supplying these women with work they need owing to the de- sire to economize amongst the class who employ labor, so that it wil be clearly seen that there is likely to be a great deal of distresy amongst ithe poor of the city unless relief works are premptly. opened by the city.
