Dr, Comnell stated | that the hospital needed a public | ward, an infectious disease building, | a service Funding and a power | house. These have to be built, no | matter what becomes of the medical college. He told of the financial position of the hospital and showed that it had always paid its way. In his opinion, the infectious 'disease building should be provided .by the city. The money now 'on hand could be used in the general scheme. The Ontario Government was also a par- ty, and as the hospital was a teaching institution, was entitled to govern. ment support. He did not see why Ontario' put all its money into To- ronto University, Then the counties should also do something. The mat- ter had been placed before the coun- ty of Frontenac. It had been his plan to get the government interested and then 'come to the city but it might be necessary to come to the city first, Dr. Connell declared that there were more patients than there were students to go to them, and he gave some interesting statistics from the { ly missed train connections and did { not arrive, but will be with the teams for the next practice, Among those who were noticed on the ice at the evening practice were | O'Gorman, formerly of Toronto R. | A, A.; Bissonnette, Ken Taylor, "Bob" Ferguson, George Stewart, hospital to show that clinical ma- terial was abundant.

"HE students want a place on the team the best way is to get out and pro- duce the goods," said James Bews. Kingston Hockey Club Practice. Never ip the #istory of Kingston were there so many young men who are anxious to get places on the dif- ferent hockey teams. On Monday evening when the Kingston hockey teams held their practice at the cov- ered rink, there were all kinds of The management realizes' that the bést way to get a team is to try out all kinds of play- ers. Judging from the showing, King- ston intermediates will put up some "classy" hockey. At the practice on Monday évening many of the old tim- ers, who, due to being on service over- seas, wore absent this last few years, were out for the first practice and made a good impression with the rail- birds. Among the intermediates who were in uniform were "Willie" Cook, Ni- cholson, Staéton, "Punch" Derry, "Jimmie" Stewart, "Joe" Smith, "Terry" Millan, Afthur Cook, Chad- wick. Among the players who made their first appearance were Leeman and Dr. Bishop. both, expert net guardians. The juniors showed the spectators some "classy" hockey. Among the juniors were Devlin, Baker, Me- Laughlin, Fanos, Minifie, Cook, Ron- ey, Robinson and the Brown brath- ers. It is really too early to state who is likely to catch pliices on the team as the management never in the histroy of the club had such promising material to piek from. Collegiates Practice. The boys from the Kingston Col- legiate who are entering a team in the junior intercollegiate, had a good number of players of the ice from nine until ten o'clock. Letters to the Editor Boosging Kingston, Kingston, Dec. 15.--(To the Rdi- for): We are here to boost this town after having done our useful bit, but somehow our storekeeprs reluse to permit us to give them a boost, be- cause it's a few cents cheaper to get a little boost from the U.S.A. and other towns by getting sample show- cards from the mail order houses of Chicago, New York and other places, than it is for them to pay us the same prices and get better and more here in their home town, For a city of its size dmd traditions this is the town of the 'poorest ticketed and showcarded windows on the conti: nent, not to mention its cheap signs, some' unreadable for want gf work on them. Some show cards in our leading stores would make a child laugh that had ever visited a half alive town, not to tention a few use- ful citizens of their home town who are really endeavoring to truly boost Kingston and helping Kingston keep pace with the mail order houses by good work amd service.

The total num- ber of students registered this year is 268. The old graduates and the re- cent graduates continued: to send students to Queen's for training. Plenty of Hospitals Here. Dr. Ryan said that there were al- ways two sides to a story. He said Kingston had done a great deal for Queen's--no other city in Canada had done so much for a University. No medical college had such advan- tages in the way of hospitals, but he did admit that improvements should be made to the General Hospital. He pointed out that there was plenty of clinical material and it was a privi- lege to have a mental diseases hospi- tal, and a chest disease hospital hich were used constantly by clas- es. Ottawa did not offer such ad- vantages. McGill did not have them, and classes had to go to Verdun. He declared that the question was not one of locality at all. Queen's and Kingston had the whole area from Cobourg to Cornwall and from the St. Lawrence to the Ottawa River, and will draw patients from Ottawa city too, Belleville and Brockville could not equip a hospital as a uni- versity centre could. Dr, Ryi#h show- ed conclusively that all the medical college needed was money and that it had never been given fair consid- eration. The history of the faculty the continent of America had contri- | buted more to medicine than Queen's. If you take away part of the rolaes | you will losé it, and once this thing starts you don't know where you wi | . E. Kent, chairman of the Board of Governors of the General Hospital said he would like to see the suggested improvements carried out. A. M. Rankin, M.P.P. and J. G. Elliott also spoke. James A. Mingies and Mayor H, W, Newman said that the city should im- prove the hospital and do evervthing to retain the medical college. Francis King moved a vote of thanks to Dr. Taylor for his address. - | UNHEALTHY AND IMMODEST DE- CLARES REV.
