Several Witnesses Questioned Re- garding Industrial Training and Technical Education -- Night Schools Said to be Poorly Attended ., ==Searcity of Men for Local Work. The commissioners on industrial training and techmical education held their first session, in the city council chamber, on Thursday evening, and in addition to the representatives, ealled upon to give evidence, there were quite a number of interested spectators pres- ent. The session lasted until eleven o'clock, and in 'that time, information was given by ten people. T were called by 'the chairman, Prof. James W. Robertson, and questioned by the chairman and the other members of the commission as well, were Cornelius Bermingham, of the locomotive works, William - Yellowley, assistant superin- tendent at the works; Alfred Bolwell, Joseph Sauve, tailor; William Driscoll, stonecutter; William Kelley, painter and photographer, also repre- senting labor party; Jerome Thomp- son, representing lumbering and farm- ing interests; Andrew Rankin, miller, and David Kogers, also representing the farmers, and George Lewis, bar- ber. i The examination in chief was con: dicted by. the chaifman, the other members asking for such information as they desired, after the chairman hat asked the leading questions. All the statements were taken under oath, and taken down by Thomas Bengough, the secretary. The proceedings opened with the reading of the commission by the secretary. Before the business proper was taken up, Ald. D. A. Givens, in the absence of Mayor Couper, who was unable to be present, for the opening, but who arrived at the meeting later on, ex- tended a warm welcome to the mem- bers of the commission. He pointed out that members of the city council, board of trade and citizens generally realized how important the business of the commission was. They realized just what the result would be to Kingston, when the city was such a great educational centre. He hoped that the fruits of the sessions here would be felt. Council would do all in its power to assist the members in securing all the information which was desired. Prof. Robertson, chairman, in reply, stated that the commission had al: ready been shown kind attention, by the Kingston people, not only in words, but in the information given. Kingston was looked upon as a most important industrial centre; it any member was in doubt before, he would now he convinced of this fact, since Ino city the visit paid in the afternoon, to some of the industries. Speaker knew where the relationship be- tween the educational and business classes was so cordial. The speaker was very glad to be in Kingston, to get the ideas of the men engaged in agriculture, and their opinion as re gards the needs of the men engaged in agriculture. It was desired to secure from tde people called upon, informa- tion as regards the need and present equipment of industrial training and technical education. Reference was made to the co-operation given in the places already visited, aud at was pointed out that the commission was a dominion commission, with the as- surance of doing good work for all of Canada. The duty of the commission was to gather the information. After securing the information desired in Canada, * other countries would be visited. Manufacturers had been ask- ing for information and labor organi zations had also asked for it. It was all important for the development of Canada, that this matter be gone in- to. In order to secure the necessary information, a conservative commis: gion had been appointed and two mem- bers of this commission, now in ses sion were memBers. No person knew just how much land we had in. this country, or as regards forests, mines, and water powers. The facts were de- sired. For many years, suggestions and recommendations had heen carried out in surmises only. A certain thing Jooked promising and was given a i Now, the facts were being as . This was looked upon as & sensible way to take up the matter, Cases were cited of the kind of infor- mation the commission had been given. Fifty places had been visited, and 600 witnesses. had been heard, These wit nesses included women, on domestic matters, fishermen, lumbernien, miners, inspectors of schools, and umiversities and teachers, One important matter being taken up, was that of ventilation in shops and other places, and as regards how the workmen spent their leieure time. Had they a proper chance to develop strength ¥ Had they an opportunity for recreation ? In brief, the work of the commission is to see what we need to have done, for industrial ef- ficiency, Tor the development of Can ada, for the development of trade, and for industrial peace; There had for some time, been an impression afloat, that capital and labor had so mueh trouble on account of the lack of knowledge of rights. Times would be better w each would recognize that he was essential to the other, In conclusion, Prof. Robertson said that niter the commission visited abroad, it was the intention of the commission to meet again, in two of the large centres of Canada to talk over matters. He hoped the sessions would be a benefit to Kingston, and returned thanks to all who had as sisted in the commmission's work.' thought that nowadays, a great deal tilation. The schools i of men was felt to quite an securing labor, but securing help of any kind, tion laws, and the miuence 1 west had upon them, he believed, was the cause of this drawback. He he it would be a good idea to encourage apprentices to zo to a night school, two evenings in a week. The witness said his business was expanding; the company was now ing for more work. Additional Pe stock was required by the rail- ways, and plans had been adopted for the extension of the work. There had jseen an increase of about threequar- ters in the work.,. To turn out a skilled mechanic, shop practice web needed. There was great noed ¢ un- trained, as well as trained men. Wit- ness could not see why 'good farm boys would not be suitable for the work. Mr. Simpson, of the commission, asked Me) Bermingham if in referring to the scarcity of men, he wished to fmply that there were no men mak- ing application for work. 8 Mr. Bermingham saul that three or four of his men were leaving for Pet- erboro, and that no person was ready to go in their place. It was not a matter of wages. As regards the at- tending of night schools, the: witness gave it as his opimon that some might go no matter how many hours a day they worked, and there were others who would not, even though they «only worked eizbt hpurs. A young man who was interested in pool rooms would not ho to night schoel. A case was cited in Cimemnati, where a night school was advertized. There were sixty applications, and only about two-thirds of the numer at- tended. Great diffioulty was éxperiono- ed, in getting the attendance, William Yellowley. William Yellowley, assistant super- intendent at the locomotive works, was the next to give evidence. He told of the wonderful part machinery was taking in the work of to-day. Ev- erything that could be done by ma- chine was being done. He knew of some apprentices taking a course in an correspondence school. He did not know if some attended night school. He was of the opinion that two nights a week, at a night school, would not in- jure the health of the apprentice. Such study would tend to make him more steady on his job. The spare moments of the apprentices were usually taken up in some kind of sport. Witness had commenced his work in a shop when just eleven and a half years of age. He started in England. His first job was running a small drill, and he worked twelve hours a day. After serving four years, he was regarded as a journeyman. Questioned fycthon, witness said that he had been a to learn a great deal by being in the shop, and in reading books. An hour and a half spent each evening with a superintendent would ke a great' benefit to appren- tices, The whole trouble was in get- ting the boys to put their mind on their work. Nowadays, everything was done as much as possible by machine instead of by 'hand. A little more "spending money" might keep a boy at study. Witness said that lectures would be =» great . Witness would be willing to 'spend' a couple of hours each night to help along the lads. He did not think very many could be secured to go to night school. He considered that night school would be the best way for the apprentices to keep up their education. Mr. Armstrong said that it has been stated that there was a great call for professional men. Witness could not say anything about this, but would say that there was a great scarcity of men in Kingston for other work, that of ! Fgnigra- | lieved that Other Witnesses Called. Alfred Bolwell, a printer, was called. He gave it as his opinion that it would be difficult to get men to at- tend technical schools, Joseph Bauve, a tailor, informed the commission that in his trade, in Kings- ton, there were very few apprentices. The establishment of entting schools would be a great bemefiv' to tailors, Night school would be a good thing, but the difficulty would be in getting the tailors to attend. In" the shop witness bwd been employed for six years, there had not been one appren- tice. There were not very many look- ing forward to the trade. There was a scarcity of good journeymen tailors in Kingston, apd there wonld be work for more. Very few ladies were going into the trade pow. William Driscoll, stomecutter, said that mechanical drawing would he a vary good help in nraking the men of his business better at their work. There had been very few apprentices; just one in the last four years. More drawing and arithmetié would be of t Service to. the men. Witness said it would be a good thing to have mat- ters pertaining to the work discussed for an hour, at every meeting of the union. William Kelly, photographer, painter and labor representative, said drawing amd lessous in building construction would be helpfal. © Manual training was good, He had been sod to domestic science, for the girls, at cne time, but was now almost reconsiled to it. However, he believed that the home was the place for this work. Jie more attention was being given to ven: paid a grest deal of attention to it. Asked ds re a here. The greatest trouble was not in| he north | | admirable extent | provement in the last fen or iifteen years. he farmers were abso g owing better crops and making more money. He could not say that the farmers were paying more attention to weeds. The dairy school had helped to a considerable extent, in improving the work. Improvement had been J in the class of cows raised. The Agn- cultural College, at Guelph, and meet ings for farmers, had accomplished much. He believed the tioh of the chairman, to have the farmers visit a farm, for inspection purposes, would be a great help. It was very hard to get farmers out to & meeting. An experimental facm in this district would be a good thing. A betler education would be a great help to farmers. Progress had been shown in the work of the farmers, all over the county, but there was a scar city of farm labor. This had been brought about, to a considerable ex- tent, by people going to the North- west; very few had come back home again. Andrew Rankin, reeve of Kingston township, miller, gave it as his opin- jon that in his township, the weeds were worse than a few yeass ago. Many complaints had been made, and the law should have been enforced, but the authorities had just "winked their eye" and allowed it to go on. Agri- culture taught in the schools' would be a great help. Farmers did not turn out very well to meetings, but might to inspect several good farms and for a demonstration. Night schools would not be well attended in the country, asthe students would have too far to go to the school, The schools might be centralized. David Rogers, one of the best known farmers in this district, was the last witness called, and he gave it as his opinion that the land was not being worked to capacity. It was only being worked about fifty per cent. There would be improvement with the pre- sent staff, and a new course. Improve- ment had been made in the class of seeds sown, This concluded the evidence taken. The chairman intimated to each wit- ness that the commission would be glad to have a written report on any thing further he might like to offer. Death of Manford Toland. A beautiful Christian life was closed when Master Manford Toland, young- est son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Tol- and passed peacefully away in the township of Hallam, Algoma district, on the 23rd of September. The de ceased was born in the township thir- ture and zentle manner, had béen a genemnl favorite with the young and old at home and at school. His death which was very umexpected, he being sick. only five days, was due to ty- phoid fever and leakage of the heart. Manford leaves to mourn his loss, his parents, his sister, Kliza, and brother Joseph, who live at home; his broth- er William, in Kalambeoo, Mich., his hrothers, George and Thomas, in Gull Lake, Sask. The funeral service at his home, on Monday afternoon, was con- ducted by Rev. Mr. Wallace, of We'ss- wood, and the remains were laid "in Jee Valley cemetery. Gathering Information.

TOWNSHIP - SHOW DREW GREAT CROWDS, The Horse Races Were Interesting-- Glenvale 2 apd Sydenham Played Baseball--=A Five Mile Road Race. The final day of the Kingston town- ship fair dawned bright and clear, and remained so. The weatherman never handed oul a better specimen of his goods thant was seen Thursday. Many will remember' last year's fair, and how it rained in the afternoon. The crowd was a record one, noth- ing like it having been seen at a town- ship fair before. The palace was pack. od: the grand stand was packed, and the people were lined up on both sides of the track for a long distance. Mus- ic was furnished from the grand stand by the Citizens' band, of Sydenham, which was much appreciated. The dowd was very ¢ ly, and was looked after by Constables Craig, Me- Carey and Armstrong. The police had quite an exciting time early in the al- ternoon, A well-known character, who was under the influence of liquor, gain: od admittance to the race track, and commenced speeding his horse, much to the uneasiness of the grand stand officials. The driver circled the course a couple of times, eluding the arm of the law, and as his horse was becom ing tired, he drove off the track and left the grounds. He will likely be dealt with by the Humane Society for abusing his horse. Two horse races, a five-mile road race and a baseball game were the events of the afternoon. The first race was the 2.50 class. The following horses were entered : Maud C., owned by F. Bearance; Sir James, owned by L. Truedell; Kenveth E., owned by Wil- liam Eves; Lord Wilkes, owned by A. Chaddick, and Don Caesar, owned by W. McAdoo. Maud C. won three straight heats, in 2.44}. Others won in the order named. The second race 'was a free-for-all in which three horses were entered, Cru sader, owned by W. F. Kelly, Monar- go, owned by W. MM. Baillie, and Royal Harvey, owned hy A. Hays Monargo won the first heat, in 2.284, the second, in 2.27}, the third, in 2.28 Crusader got second place and Royal Harvey, third. Starter Dr. Goorge W, T. Nicholson, R, Birnside Wilstard; timekeepers, Robert and Erastus K. Purdy. The five-mile road race was véry" in teresting. The track was if good con dition, and the runners acquitted themselves ereditably. There were three entries: Joseph Adams, of the Y. M, C.A.; Harry Jackson and George Smith. Smith was taken with cramps while covering the third lap as the result of drinking water and had to be taken off the track. Adams made the ten laps in 294 minutes. Jackson finished in 32] minutes. The baseball game, between Syden- ham and Glenwale 'started at three o'clock ard was not finished at dark, The game wag very exciting, very full of errors and had a very large score. Both pitchers were hit fiercely, some nice drive being made. "Bill'"Dehaney umpired t ame and he had his hands full, When darkness fell seven innings and a half were played and the score stood 21 to 17 in favor Glenvale, with Sydenham to bat. De haney called the game a tie, and quit, A young lad named Newlands was hat in the head with a bat that was not hurt much. Glenvale--Bliss, c.; Skinner, p.; Lee, Ih; Hilliard, 2b; R.
