Bruce Taylor, of Queen's Univer- sity, Kingston, who was at the front as an officer with the 42nd High- landers, of Montreal, was a caller at the No. 2 Military District Headquar- ters Tuesday afternoon. He inter- viewed Gen. Logie regarding the scheme for vocational training fo¥ convalescent soldiers returning from overseas. Queen's University has twenty-seven courses to offer to the returned man, prepared by the Fa culty of Applied Science in comjune- tion with the military authorities. Dr, Taylor points out that the courses to be undertaken by the returned soldier must depend to a large ex- tent on the nature of his infirmity. Men from the Toronto Military District may go to Queen's if they wish, At present there are 150 men attending the classes which are in charge of the regular university pro- there for easily 600 men. and made for much more efficiency. | faction.

It is now suggested that this work become part of that hand- led by the Customs Department. The Post Office is another institu- tion which would be affected. The local staff of the Inspector's office was ificreased very heavily with the introduction of the Rural Mail Deliv- ery system. Now that this has been established it is questionable whe- ther such a large force is necessary. In such ways the new Act would re- distribute the present work and staffs to a degree of efficiency which 'at present is generally acknowledged to be far lower than justifiable, even in Government establishments, It is a big question and one which has aroused a great amount of inter- est among the local civil servants.
