PROF. J. MACNAUGHTON FINDS QUEEN'S GRADUATES AC- TIVE IN SASKATCHEWAN, He Spoke at Winnipeg---Made Refers ence To the Educational System of Germany and Rapped German Pro- fessors, Winnipeg Pree Press rofl. John Macngughton, of MeGill University, and formerly of Queen's, delivered an eloquent and inspiring address in the Fort Garry Hotel yes terday afternoon, before the Qdeen's Alumni Association. Prof. Morden, of Manitoba Agricultural ( ollege, was in the chair, and numerour members of the Manitoba University Faculty | ge cupierl seats at, the head of the table Dealing first with educational con ditions in Saskatchewas, Prof. Mac naughton paid a high tribute to the Scott Government. Then he went on to speak af the educational system of Germany, apportioning a heavy share of blame for the war on the German professors. Witty, forceful and earnest, the ad- dress of the professor msde a deep impression on his hearers, many whom were formerly 'his pupils, He dlosed with a moving reference to Belgium, which country: he described as "wounded for our transgressions'? Prominence Of Queen's Men, Prof. Macnaughton said that , in Saskatchewan he had found, Ais | great delight, that Queen's men were taking a great part in building up the Provinee. They seemed to be in many of the prominent educational places. Many of them he found in an- other activity wherein it was possible to exercise a wise and bhenelicent in- fluenee--in the pulpit. He was sorry to depreciate the influence of the ,pul- pit. He did not think it was possi to say many people seemed inclined ble to exaggerate the importance of the function, which those men were | discharging. What most impressed him, at the | educational - convention in Yorkion, | was the extraordinary keen spirit, and | the most unusual conception of the | dignity and importance of their of- fice, which distinguished the teachers. | In all his life, he had never met teachers to whom it was'so clear that their work was a vital necessity to the country. Those teachers of Saskat- | chewan knew well that the future of | the Province depended more on them | than on any other influence whatso of to | Snap Shot {i Cameras || { ALL SIZES | ALL MAKES { ALL PRICES a Your soldier friend will appre- Jif | ciate one. | Repairs -- We repair all makes at a very low cost. ng cameras every day. jif| Exchanging your old camera ji | for a new one with us wil) give you satisfaction.

Next, the speaker paid a warm tribute to the Scott Government and to Premier Scott personally An- other thing in which the province of Saskatchewan was extraordinari'y fortunate, he said, was that the gov- ernment was really aware of the vit #1 and fundamental importance of ation.

Education of Books Not Enough Touching on the influence of Ger- man professors on the German na- tional life, the speaker remarked that the more education of books prepara- tion for life. The Germans had the finest universitiés in the world, they surpassed every other people in the practical application of science, they were the best chemists, the best dy- ers. If education were enough, as- suredly Germany would lead the world in all good things. The Ger- man people would have attained the summum bonum. And yet he sup- posed that no people that ever lived made such a colossally fatal exhibi- tion of themselves in an hour of crisis. There was no country where professors were held in higher honor than Germany. Lord Palmerston bad described Germa as a country damned with professors, and the word was not too strong. German e to bring other class of men in Germany. Knowledge was not enough. Otherwise, the Ger- mans would never have been led into this terrible catastrophe. "It was not enough for a country to have profes- sors; it required poets and prophets as well. | Ravages of Rust. One large railway system suffers a | loss of more than eighteen tons of | metal daily, due solely to the effect | of rust. Thus far, the only known preventive is to keep the metal sur- face always covered with a suitable paint. Some idea of the costliness of this remedy, however, may be gain- | ed from the fact that it requires | about $5,000 annually to paint one | large railway bridge alone. A typi- cal case of this kind is the Forth Bridge, upon which a corps of paint- ors are constantly employed, as the weather makes repainting of one end of this large structure necessary be- fore the workers have reached the other. 'Although experiments have demonstrated that pure iron sur- rounded by oxygen does not rust, and that some acid, especially carbonic acid, is necessary for the production of rust, the secret of manufacturing rustless steel and iron remains to be | discovered. | Kaiser Lovers Elected, If one looked up Jerem ah they would, find this about a prophet. He Was a man capable of standing like an iron pillar against all his people; against the multitude going down g steep place to do evil; and against the king. One man alone in Ger- many had ever done that--Luther at the Diet of Worms. All the teachers in Germany to-day wanted to be with the King, the. Kaiser. What- ever he did, they would find an apol. ogy for it. But the German state had ' taken great care to get that kind of aman in the proiessional chair. That accounted for a great deal. Men were not allowed to be professors until they were known to be the kind of persons that would be helpful to the Government. So Ger. many had been made am annex of the Krupp works, and the education- al institutions of Gprmany had Geographical Advice. Readers of the war news who have some difficulty in remembering where the Falkland Islands are may be help- ed by the recollection of one of Ian Maclaren's stories. After a disaster { to an emigrant ship many years ago, some of the survivors reached those islands. When the news came home the minister of a Scottish church to which some of the emigrants had be- | longed prayed 'thus: 'Oh, Lord, we pray Thee to ba with our--brethren, stranded in the | Falkland Islands; which, as Thou knowest, are situated in the South Atlantic Ocean," The Deseronto Iron Works are likely | to re-open very soon.
