The Commercial | Advisory Committec Had a Con erence Last Night--Very Valuable Ixformation Obtaincd. : The Industrial Advispry Commit- tee of the Board of Education had a conference, on Wednesday evening, with Dr. Merchant, the head of this work in connection with the Ontario Education Department. Several hours were spent in consideration of | the claims of commercial, technical and industrial education for the peo- ple. The night clasoes that have been held in Kingston this winter have not been very satisfactory. The attendance has been small. Endeay- ors will be made next September to v . offer studies that should be attrac- I'tive to a large number of citizens engaged in commercial and indus { trial pursuits, Dr. Merchant offered | to come to the city with a helper and seek to put the classes on a firm bas- iis. Pleasant acquaintanceship with / the workmen will be sought and the advantages which will accrue through night classes will be vividly presented to them. The committee | was pleased with this offer and. will jaugment as far as possible the efforts | of the Department's officers, : | Dr. Merchant says that while he {1s much concerned about. evening | classes, so as to help those missing {the opportunities of younger ' days, | the great demand of the present is j technical and vocational work in the {day schools and every opportunity | and support will be given to boards '| that give thought and attention to | this phase of education. In other | cities splendid results are being ob- { tained and Dr. Merchant sees no rea. | i Son why Kingston shquld not be in | ! the forefront in this work. | The committee secured much val-' { uable information. It was inter- ested in the law which enables' ] boards to compel young people up to | seventeen years of age to stay at i school, and there are prospects that | the measure may be introduced here. |n SEPARATE camp | | FOR THE OFFICERS. Of German Army, Wha Are In- terned in Canada is : Asked. "It is understood that a movement | is on foot to have a separate camp { for officers of the German Army who | are interned in prison camps in Can- i ada. There are about fifteen offi- | cers at - Fort Henry and hundreds | throughout Canada. { The grounds for the request is { that officers of th Canadian or any | of the Allied Armies when taken prisoners are put into separate camps { in Ggrmany and the German Govern- | | ment is asking that the same trea:-| {ment be accorded the German offi- | cers in Canada. The conditions are so different that {there is some doubt as to what stand the Canadian Government will take { on the question. The prisoners in | the Canadian camps are arrested be- | cause they are alien enemies. They | are not prisoners in the same sense {as the men captured in battles on They are civilians under arrest.
