REE HT RHELANY Famous Kingstonians Abroad Kingston Men Who Left Home To Gain Fame No. 32. Stuart J. Schofield, M. A, B.Sc, (Queen's), Ph.D. (Harvard), Scientist. Those who were members of St. George's Cathedral choir in 1900 or thereabouts will remember a lively, clever and sometimes michievous lad who once appeared for ail the ser- vices and added his voice lustily to the others in the praise of God. At that time he was just plain Stuart Schofield, and active, likable, young chap who was a leader in all sorts of young people's doing and was gen- | erally well liked. Since then there | have been additions to his name in | the shape of various imposing letters | which portray to all and sundry that | he has visited many mighty founts of knowledge and has taken deep drafts of the educational elixir, some as a matter of personal interest, and others, very likely, as a matter of | course, as is usual in the acquisition {of an education. Needless to say | these imposing letters have not | wrought any great change in the re- | cipient and he is still very much like | the boy of a few years ago. | Stuart J. Schofield first smiled on {the world at Gravesend, Kent, Eng- land, on September 3rd, 1884. Asin such cases, the smiles were preceded by tears and a few lusty howls, but {aa soon as this youngster found out | how to smile he began to save the | tears for special occasions. While {he was still a baby his parents | brought him to Canada and settled in Kingston, | Proceeding 6n the natural course {of a Kingston boy, Stuart attended {the city schools and the Kingston Collegiate Institute in preparation for work at Queen's. In college he made success of his work from the stant, combining a natural cleverness with a considerable liking for the pursuit of knowledge and a little hard work. No doubt he was rush- ed, attended the fgreshman"s recep- tion, had himself smashed up in in- teryear and interfaculty sports like 80 many others have done and are doing, but that is only incidental to a course at Queen's and to be ex- pected. He may even have gone 80 far as to "slope" a few classes, which is also to be expected but is certainly not incidental to the course | of studies. A Master of Arts degree in 1906 did not satisfy this student and he went on with hig course to a further degree of Bachelor of Science in 1908. During the summer months between college terms he occupied a variety of occupations. One sum- mer he worked on a survey of the Bay of Quinte Railway. Another year he taught school in Mississippi, Ontario. ~ Still another year he was remonstrator in chemistry for the summer school. Before leaving the ancient and honorable halls of Queen's he annexed the gold medal in geology, and then wended his way onward in search of greater heights, finally reaching the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, affiliated with Harvard University, from which he graduated in 1911 'with the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Having spent considerable time in acquiring an education, Stuart Schofield began to think of putting UNEMPLOYMENT IS LESS. Figures Lower im Britain Than in July, 1914. London, Oct, 14.--Rt, Hon. T. J. Macnamara, minister of labor, said that, although there had been much discussion of unemployment in the press, the latest figures showed just over two per cent., which was lower than in July, 1914. The increase in. unemployment since August has been about one-half of one per cent. Dr. Macnamara stated that five mil- lion ex-service men and 210,000 of- ficers had been re-absorbed in in- dustry, leaving 180,000 men, of whom 10 per cent. were disabled, and 12,000 officers were still unplaced. 1 It was hoped that thirty per cent. of this number could be placed in the building trade as, owing to the war, the number of houses in Great Brit- ain was halt a miilion below nor- mal. SUES KANSAS TOWNS. Canadian Citizen Claims He Was Seized by Mob. Topeka, Kan.,, Oct. 14--H. A. Dykstra, of Topeka, a Canadian citi- zen, today filed suit in the federal court to collect $15,000 damsges from Hudson, Stafford county, alleg- ing he was seized by a mob, beaten and ushered out of town. Similar suits are to be filed against other Kansas towns, his attorney said. He told a crowd at Hudson that he was for "the right of assembly, free speech and a free press," whereupon the mob beat, bruised and kicked him and sent him out of town. it to some use and to this end join- ed the Geological Survey of Canada and was engaged in studying and re- porting upon the deposits of ore and general geology of British Columbia. From that time he began to write scientific articles, along geological lines as a rule, for various publica- tions. Among these were the Mem- ories and Bulletins of the Geological Survey, Summary reports of the Geo- logical Survey, Proceedings and Bul- letins of the Canadian Mining In- stitute, International Geographical Congress, "The Scientific American," "The Royal Society of Canada," "Science Conspectus," 'Economic Geology' and publications of the Massachusetts Institute of Technol- ogy. He became a fellow of the Geo- logical Society of America and a member of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. During the session of the 1915-16 he was loaned to the University of British Columbia to replace R. W. Brock, at that time engaged in re- cruiting for the 196th Western Uni- versities Battalion. One company of this battalion was made up of each of the four western universities. In the spring of 1916, after the termina- tion of the college term, he enlisted as a private, took the training course at Esquimault Barracks, Victoria, and received a commission as lieuten- ant in the 196th. He accompanied the battalion to England in Novem- ber, 1916, and served as an instruct- or in wiring and tren¢h warfare. De- fective eyesight prevented his going "to France, and he was recalled in November, 1917, to continue his re- search work in economic geology for the department of mines. He spent the next few summers assisting in the development of the Brittania Copper Mine on Howe Island, near Vancouver, which is the largest cop- per mine in North America. His latest appointment is to the chair of geology in the University of British Columbia, the duties of which post he has just taken over this fall. It is interesting to note that his dean in his new position was his professor at Queen's and his major in the army, Major Reginald W. Brock, dean of the Faculty of Applied Science, a Kingston boy and a gradu- ate of Queen's. Professor Schofield's nickname is "Mike." His hobbies are ski-ing, mountain-climbing, after dinner speaking and the study of French. He is well known in the Kootenay Lake district of British Columbia, as he has spent many summers at work among the lead and silver mines of that region, which has often 'been termed an earthly paradise on account of the richness of its vege- table life and mineral deposits and its wonderful scenic beauty. From now on he will make hig home in British Columbia. yProfessor Stuart Schofield is a son of\Mr. and Mrs. James Schofield, for many years well-known residents tawa. He is one of the many King- ston boys who have gone forth into other fields to carve out niches for themselves in the high places and to scatter broadcast the name of the old Limestone City, and incidentally of Queen's University in most cases. METHODIST SALARIES. Majority of Pastors Now Receive More Than $1,500. Toronto, Oct. 14.--The Dominion mittee, of 'which William Hanson, of Montreal, is vice-chairman, have practically completed their campaign for an adequate salary for every min- ister.

A shadow of gloom was east over the district of South Lake, when it became known that Mrs. McCalpin, wife of John McCalpin, passed away on Friday, Oct. 8th, after a few week's illness. Deceased, who was of a kind and loving disposition," was held in the highest esteem. by a large circle of friends. She was a devotéd member of the Anglican Church and a gene- rous and willing giver to all charit- able causes. The funeral service, which was held in the Herald Angel's Church, South Lake, on Sunday, Oct 10t., was attended by a large number of sympathizing friends, the church be- ing crowded to the doors, many be- ing unable to gain admittance. The service was conducted by the rector, Rev. W. J. Gratton, who after pay- ing a warm tribute to the memory of the deceased, delivered a most im- pressive sermon. The remains will be laid to rest in the cemetery at Gan- anoque. RUPTURE RELIEF Retention Not Influeniced by Age or Length of Time, Reports Visiting Expert.
