SOMETHING NEW ! SILVER POINTED Dr. R.

Dur-| He was not grumbling with the gov- ernment, as he considered that Queen's up until the present time had been used very fairly by it. He realized that the government had to make ends meet. He spoke about the task of going It Should Have? In giving the home a r eal Cozy appearance, one must not neglect the necessity of having fresh, new Rugs. They contri- bute largely to the beauty and comfort of the home. In fact, it might be said that they form an item of necessity. The cost of having new Rugs in your home is quite insignificant.

He said the university and the citizens of Kingston are certain- ly indebted to these men. Dr. Taylor opened his talk by re- ferring to the splendid library at Queen's, and he said that he often wondered why the citizens of King- ston did not take advantage of read- ing the books contained in that building. Any person, said he, could havé access to them if they wished, and it is a pity that they are not more used. He stated that books from Queen's library are being loaned to people all over the conti- nent. ¥ Spends Half Million Here. The speaker them referred to what the university, from a financial standpoint, meant to Kingston dur- ing the year, and said that it was a. steady industry spending in the neighborhood of a million dollars among the citizens. Dr. Taylor then spoke of the wonderful progress which has been made at the univer- sity since his coming to Kingston eight years ago. The new heating plant located on the lake shore has been erected at a cost of $255,000. And it is now working well and a re- port for the year shows that the cost of heating the university and the General Hospital buildings Is down considerably this year. The new library was erected at a cost of $370,000, the new Women's Resi- dence 18 nearing completion, cost- ing $200,000. Two rinks, each cost- ing $90,000, one of which went up in smoke. Referring to the new rink which has an artificial plant, Dr. Taylor sald that the rink this year was just as good a paying pro- position as the championship rughy team. He spoke of the building of the George Richardson Memorial Stadium; apd the rebuilding of the old medical building which was re- cently destroyed by fire. Dr. Tay- lor also referred to the tremendous reconstruction scheme under way at the General Hospital at the present time, which when completed will cost $1,200,000, which is consider- ably over the estimated cost made in 1916. A Compliment Paid. At this point of his address, Dr. Taylor took occasion to compliment Mr. J. M. Campbell, who supervised the building of the heating plant, and stated that there was only a difference of $400 between the es- timated cost of the plant and the price which was paid for its conm- struction, which is certainly a glow- ing tribute to. the faithfulness and attention of Mr. Campbell. Dr. Taylor when speaking of all this money which had been expend. ed in building, sald that it broughi about a- great overhead expense at the university, which is shown in the fact that at the present time The weekly wage for men who are em- ployed around Queen's is $860, and this does not include amy of the teaching staff. He stated that he ntra-mural registration at the uni- versity last year was 1,152 students, of whom 260 were women. Limited Revenue. Principal Taylor then told of the number of students in the different faculties, and said it was necessary to limit the number entering medi- cine and science, on account of limited accommodation and equip- ment. He stated that nothing around the university paid, and it was not intended to pay. He then dealt with the question of revenue which the university obtained, and said that the annual grant from the pro- vinclal government is $210,000. Pre- mier Ferguson had served notice to the effect that Queen's could not ex- pect a like grant in the future. Dr. Taylor said that the university re- ceived $160,000 per year from fees, and the revenue derived from the $2,000,000 endowment, made the revenue of the university ap to half a million dollars. Dr. Taylor said that it was a question of close figuring and as a result the salaries which are paid to the professors are not as large as they should be: A Hi it f si Referring to the proposal of Pre- mier Ferguson to cancel the grant to Queen's University, Dr. Taylor said that the university had come to { be a national institution, and had a | national work to do. He spoke of | the Queen's men who occupy high positions in the life of Canada axd the United States. The engineering profession was spoken of by Dr. Taylor who made special reference to the part which the late Profs. Ni- col and Miller had played in the world of geology. These men, said Dr. Taylor, did not go fnto the Cd- balt distfict for the purpose of doing something for thémselves, but thought of the development of the branch of work in which they were Interested. The late Dr; Miller, who was the provincial geologist, had turned down an offer of $15,000 or any sum he wished to name, as he was not out to make money, but to render service. He said that there were not so many men being turned out at Queen's in the electrical en- gineering department but they had always been able to reach the top. He spoke of the wondérful work which Prof. Douglas Ellis is carry- ing on in the department of hydrau- lics. Dr. Taylor said that the small classes at the college made it pos- sible for the professor and the stu- dents to do better work. Medical Department. When dealing with the depart- ment of medicine, Dr. Taylor said that Queen's for years had been turning out the general practitioner, and the important thing today was to get the doctors to go into the country districts where there are no doctors. If Queen's was forced to cut down on account of no grant from the province, it would be neces- sary to cut down, and the country would be up against it as there would not be enough doctors turred out. He said that the time had passed when the college 'authorities could look for private gifts. These grants are heavily taxed and the Queen's principal said that no government could take all that money without handing some back to the colleges. Dr. Taylor dealt in detail with the suggestion of the premier that the first two years' work in college could be taught in the high schools and said that he did not agree with the suggestion, as physics and che- mistry could not be taught in high schools unless they had extra nquip- ment which would cost a lot of mo- ney and the teachers were not avail- able at the present time. 1 foe of thanks was extended to the "4peaker of the evening on a motton moved by Mr. Elmer Davis and seconded by Mr. H.

One of the young men who was brought out from England and plac- ed on a farm in Frontenac and Len- nox and Addington counties by the British Empire Immigrant Associa- tion, of which Joseph Foster, of Moscow, is the Eastern Ontario re- presentative, does not like the work on the farm and called upon Mayor Angrove on Wednesday morning. The young man sald that the farmer he worked for had used him well, but he stmply did not like the work on the farm, and so quit and came to the city. The lad stated that he agreed to stay with the far- mer for one month, and had car- ried out. his agreement. Before com- ing to Canada, he had been employed in a wholesale in the heart of Lon- don. Mr. Stroud, the local representa- tive of the Ontario Labor Employ- ment bureau, expected to place the young man in another job on Wed- nesday afternoon. Mr. Foster was reached by telephone and he will come to Kingston on Thursday and try and arrange matters for the youth, who is only sixteen years of age.
