Yesterday there took place from the undertaking rooms of 8S. 8: Cor- funeral of William Goss- age, for many years past an inmate of the Home for the Aged, who has there won the respect of all who knew him for his uniform, uncom- plaining patience under the -dis- bilities and sufferings of a broken life Having come from England to Canada in his young manhood, in faealth and vigor, with good hopes of success here, he was struck down in his prime by one of those casual accidents which so often seem to lie in wait for the industrious toiler, and wreck his best founded hopes. A heavy load of rubbish accident- ally falling on him, in the course of his ordinary work, nearly crushed out his life, and left him a hopeless cripple But he retained his brawe English spirit, and his good senjc and good-will earned for him re spect and goodwill. in return Though compelled to physical in- activity, he was usually a cheerful companion, despite frequent at tacks of severe pain. He kept up his old home ties with friends and rélatives, and maintained a pretly regular correspondence with the latter, among others with two young nephews, who have been fighting in Mesopotamia, and who from time to time cheered him with graphic de- scriptions of their strange experi- ences. And he was proud, indeed, when he received the news that one of them had won a military distine- tion for serving his country. He had been visibly failing for some time before he was transferred to the General Hospital for special treatment and diet, which, it was hopéd, might restore him. But his strength continued to sink until on March 11th he peacefully passed away to the life beyond. Such veter- ans of labor often deserve as gener- ous recognition as do our veterans of war; but when secluded in our so-called *'Homes' they too often seem almost forgotten, even by the members of their, own churches. Nag" that the excitement of war is over, shall . we not give more thought and consideration to the veterans of labor? bett the + The Late John Dwyer.

I i Ib MAKES A REPLY (Continued from Page 1.) minion Government, but by the pro vinees What inconsistency Is in- volved In these statements? 1s Queen's a provincial university? If go, let it apply to the Government of Ontario for such state funds for yesearch, amd, If it succeeds in its application, the research ceuncii = {i rejoice and hearttl congratu- latd it. The research council, how- ever, cannot estaplish the relation of Queens' to the Provincial Gov- ernment. I may add that Dx. Taylor is soli- citous about the danger of politics in- vading the Council er its Jdrganiza- tions. In the more than two years of the Research Council's existence, and since the attempt of the func: tionary referred to there Has not been the slightest effort made by either a Minister of the Crown, a member of Parliament, or a Senator, to affect the work or influence tlre de- cisions of 'the Council." Perbaps they knew they could not do it, for every member of the Council would resist to the utmost the introduction of politics, But I modestly fancy that they had not the slightest desire on thut score. Even if all the alleged "facts" which the Principal giyes in his let- ter were correct, they would weigh as nothing in the issue wen ergvus into the situation. This issue is: Shall Canada have a National Re- search Institute like the Bureau of Standards at Washington, to aid in the utilization of the natural re- sources of Canada and to foster the application of Science to our indus- tries? Or, sbull the money ui. might be avilable for such an Insti- tute be divided amwongst the uur versities of Canada to enable them to do this work? That is the whole matter in a nutshell. Eight out of nine members of the Council, after the most protracted consideration of all the facts bearing on 'the question, decided to recom- mend the establishment of a Nation- al Research Institute, and six of the eight hail from five Universities, while the oné opposed to this decision was a Professor in Queen's. As these are all scientific men, their decision should count for more than the opinion of Dr. Taylor, who has had no training or experience in Science, Prof. Kirkpatrick at first maintained that all the money available for re- search should be divided amongst the Universities on some system of control, but he subsequently admitt- ed that, in addition, a Bureau of Standards should. be established. The opposition to the foundation of a National Research Institute was taken up by the Principal and Registrar of Queen's, In letters addressed to a memper of the Gov- ernment they protested against the foundation of such an Institute and! urged that the money which it might require he given to the Uni- versities, in the list of which the name of Queen's. wis specially prom- inent. This protést has 'not been Sony successful 'in its object, and is perhaps has had much to do with developing the point of view which Principal Taylor represents. There are eighteen Universities in Canada, or ou the average, one to every 400,000 of the population, about the same number as Great Britain and Ireland have with more than population of Canada.' All 'the Canadian Univer- sities are in a more or less necessi- tous condition, and, if grants from the 'Dominion treasury were going, they would all scramble to get them. No system of check or control could be imposed for it would be sw. ut away under pressure from the fo. e: behind the Universities. Bach of them not in'receipt of money trom the Dominion Treasury, or receiving, as it might think, not enough, would feel "slighted" and there would re- sult a resort to all the arts that characterize the most undesirable kind of politics. Charges of unfair- ness and of the exercise of favoritism Universitied just as even now Prin- cipal Taylor charges unfairness in having Dalhousie and Saskatchewan represented in the Research Council as originally constituted, while Queen's was not. There would be an expenditure ow the Universities wlong this line that would far exceed what would be required for the main- tenance of a Research Institute, and there would be very little to show for it in the way of inéreased industiial efficiency. All the while rescarch in pure sei- ence, which is a primary function of the universities, would be neglected or abandoned. The training of the researchers, who are needed so much in the industries, and of whom thers are so few in Canada, would not be encouraged, for such training is give en best in pure science, which, as Sir J. J. Thomson recently pointed. out, would be in danger of 'being erowded out of the universities by Industrial research. This, of course, Dr. Tay- lor does not recognize, but the sci- entific members of the Research Cotineil recognize the danger ahead, aud hence their position on this ques. ee universities of Canada must; in the opinion of the Research Council would be bandied about amongst the] In all this >» work as the B whieh has s ymmend that t make gra for scientific or although the ir needs in thi spect are overwhelm i ing search Council, refused to r peri ai { Gover and will urge National Resear ada as of the ¥ 3 g necessity; of the Hoar.

Seientific h and the! application of the most adva red sciengific methods of the industries are, therefore, of paramount import- ance if the country is to succeed in raising this revenue. If it does not succeed, what is ahead? A National 'Research Institute, therefore, to as- sist the industries in adapting them. selves to the situation now confront- ing them and thereby to help them to bear this enormous burden of tax- ation, is now of the first order of |] urgency. This is the hour for vision and all the true friends of Queen's earnestly desire that she will align herself with all those who share it That is the earnest wish also of the writer, --A. B. MACALLUM. W EDDED IN ENGLAND. Pte. Joseph Gardiner, of Was the Groom. Glorious sunshine favored the oct casion of the marriage of Pte. Joseph Gardiner, Canadian Forestry Corps, of Kingston, to Mademoiselle Marian Blochet, St. Jarani-de-la-mer, France, which took place at the Pear Tree church, Itchen, Southampton, Eng- Kingston, land, on the afternoon of December} 21st, 1918. The happy couple were attended Wy numerous friends at the church, including Tommies, and girls of the W.A A.C. brigade, whose uniforms added to the beauty of the scene. The bride, who was charmingly attired in white crepe-de- chene, with a wreath of orange blos- Hi carried a bouquet of {Ji soms and veil, white chrysanthemums and smilax, and was attended by four brides- maids, the Misses German and Lake, of the New Forest, Hants, England. They wore pale blue gowns and black hats and carried bouquets of pink and white chrysanthemums. The Misses M. 'Blandford and P. Bishdp attended in the uwmiform of the W.A. ACH Joseph Streets, of Thorney- crofe gave away the bride, and Pte. William Lowery, Canadian Forestry Corps, an intimate friend of the bridegroom, was groomsman.
