Canadian men TO QUEEN'S WILL START A NEW ERA. ) What Is Proposed And What It Is Hoped Will Be the Result of the Provision For . Military Instruc. tion, : Montreal Gazette Major R. W. Leonard, chairman the National Transcontinental Railway, commission has undertaken to introduce a new element into the ie of Queen's university. His pro- ject pr & 80 many points of inter- est that a statement of a Queen's. is a fairly old university as Canadian institutions go. It s doors were open- ed more than seventy years ago it for a while was the absolute possession of that Presbyterian body known as the Old Kirk; about forty years ago this phrase ended and the umiversity became a distinctly independent in- stitution, bearing a legal relation to the church which founded it most easily expressed by saying that it was "under Pro.estant auspices," a year ago this link was broken and Queen's now is-an independent, national uni- versity with no denominational bonds The majority of the students long have been non-Presbyterians, though it is possible that Presbyterians con- stitute the largest single, denomina- tion represénted. The university was founded on th model of the Scottish universities, it has no residence, it accords a large measure of freedom to its students, and that freedom has not been abused in the past. There are several faculties, arts, medicine, mining, engineering @#Md so forth; the arts students 'in attendance num- ber several hundreds. Very many of the students earn' their own way through college and have to consider ways and means with wholesome care. A peculiarity of the arts course is the wide latitude given to the in- dividual students, who is allowed to select a large number of the subjeets which he 48 to take up and undergo examination in. The university itself always has heén cramped for means and has made its resources stretch creditably far. THe graduates of Quean's are well represented among the leaders of the Canadian people. Ske by side with Queen's at King- ston is the Royal Military College. This institution is acknowledged to be ono of the best éducstional institu- tions in Canada. It gives a admirable military training; it turns men into excellent civil engineers; and it im- parts a moral training the result of military discipline and the military code of honor, which has given "its gradvatts a peculiar and most en- viable standing in the regard of the community. It was founded to supply the Canadian.people with a military element which would bo of value in any emergencies which might apise. Nearly every comment which can be passtd upon the institution ii favor- able, and yet there is a certain note of disappointment about the notices of it. It supplies a number of ex- cellent officers to the British army, and that is good. It supplies some well-trained officers to our permanent force, and that is an advantage. It reinforces our engineering profession with a stream of well-gualified and upright man. It is increasingly mse- ful to our active militia. But on the whole it has failed to impress itself upon the nation's léadership. It is a striking fact that although it has been in existence for neanly forty years it 'has not contributed one member to the Canadian parliament. Many of its graduates are proias- sionl soldiers, most of them aro on- gineers, 'and engineers are obiiged as. a rule to live on the froumtiars and in circumstances which do not make them suitable parliamontary of the leader class have not the knowledge of military organization, of thé re- lations betwen military policy aad the general life of the nation, which we might, expect from the money spent on the Royal Military College and the excellence of tht type of man produced. Queen's situated in the same town has had far more in- fluence upon the national life, And in Queen's no means. have existed to give to the Yuture professional men and leaders in business the particular {advantages of a military nature which have been given to the gradu- |ates of the Royal Military College. It may be guessed that some such set of considerations moved Major R. W. Leonard to make 'the gift to Queen's which has been annouaroed. He himeelf is a graduate of the Royal Military College who has pros- perad in civil life, and he has found that the disciplinary trainine and the practical acquaintance with the art of organization with the Royal Mili- \|tary College course gives are of great service. in the world of affairs. A man who has had military training, for one thing is not likely to insist on doing his subordinates' work for them: that is a peculiar viee of Cana- dian administration as seen here in Ottawa, Another set of considecations has bean moving other persons. Alike in | Great Britain and in Canada it is felt | that in any great emergency the mass {of the men of the nation should "Ho ready to fight for their country, and that f such an emergency were (o arise 'the men so serving should be led by their natural leaders: that is by the men prominent in civil life, The futurd-leaders of a nation are to be found tn no small measure among ils university students, and it seems reasonable that steps should be taken wherby a young man leaving col- lege with his degree should also be qualified to train and lead a company of militia." This feeling has led to the formation in Great Britain of the Otliesrs" Training corps, contingents of which are to be found in many of the British universities. Steps have been taker in Canada to prepare the way for a similar development, draft regulations having been drawn wp in the militia department. Speaking broadly, Major Leonard's beneficence. will enable this plan to be tried un- der advantageous circumstances dy one Canadian university, The present draft sgheme for the Canadian « Officers' raining contemplates the establishment in = university of 3 "'contingent" of one OF more companies, each company to have an. establis™ment of two offi cers and 51 von-co.missioned offices and "members."

To re Studies of the older type they will d a measure of military training, which the university authorities will recognize as conducting to their edn cation. They will drill a specified Bumber of days a year; they will un- dergo instruction in musketry; they Will receive certain theoretical teach- ing of the sort needed by regimental officers, and they will be taught how to train others. In time each mem- ber, will pass examinations which wilt qualify him to be an officer in any arm of the an militia and he will leave the university able to join on advantageaus terms the local regi- ment of tis future ahode. This is the general outline of a scheme which is being hamered ints shape in the headquarters 'staff, : This general plan Major Leopard proposes to apply to Queen's with great enengy. He has bought a good site close to the university and wpon it he will erect a residence for the "contingent" which Queen's is to fure nish. In general the pian is that there shall be sufficient dormitory accom- modation for four eompanies, each fifty or sixty ®irong, and an admin- istration building to eontain a difiing hall, offices, adjutants quarters, class- rooms and the other equipment nee: essary. The militia department will erect a drll hall on a part of the site There will be an adjutant, a profes- elonal soldier seéonded for duty, who will reside on the premises and who will exercise the discipline which is part of the training for which the scheme is devised; to live by exact rules strictly obeyed is part of the training of the Royal Military col- lege which has proved so admirable. The members of the training corps will live under these conditions of daily discipline; they will hinderzo a moderate amount of training in gym- nastics, drill and musketry; they will attend the summer militia camps; they will take certain lectures on military matters; they will take cer- tificates entitling them to rank in the militia: and for the rest they will be ordinary students at the univer- 6ity, proceeding to thair degrees. What they receive in reiurn for dis- charging these duties, apart from the general benefit conferred by such a regiment, will be first, that the uni- versity is expected to count the work 60 done as part of the course for a degree, and, secondly, that Major Leonard's generosity will enable them to livé in these quarters, nct free, but at rates substantially cheap- er than those charged bx the board- Ing houses of the town. The militia department may supplement this aid with certain grants. Many of tive students, it already has been voted, have to watch their finances carefully, and to such a save ing of two or three dollars a week in the weekly outlay will mean some- thing; at the same time, they will be paying their way. Some rather curious remarks have been made by way of comment to the effect that all the students should be given this training. It has been explained ear- lier that in Queen's the elective prin- ciple has "been embraced and the student ean select nearly all of the subjects Which" in the aggregate constitute his course. In the oir- cumstances it would be a singular proceeding to make an entirely new subject' obligators. There may be students to whom such a course would not appeal, and it would be unjust to oblige them to take it, equally would it be unjust to forbid young men anxious to fit themselves for the service of their country to fake advantage of the offer made. Military training will be, in univer- sity parlance, an option. Should it become an option so popular that more men will offer than 'the two nundreds for whom the buildings now ordered are designed, it will be in- teresting to see what Major Leonard will do. One altérpative would be to allow membership in the Queen's con- tingent of the Caadinan Officers' Training corps to be a prize to he competed for, and so reserved' for the choicest men; the other would be to erect more dormitories. ines DENIAL FROM OTTAWA Story of Newspaper . Immigration Campaign a Canard. Ottawa, Jan. 20.--~The Canadian im- migration department has denied the charge made before a congressional committee in the United States, on Saturday, to the effect that the Cana- dian governnient was yearly spending $100,000 8 fill the pages of country newspapers in the Western States with misinformation designed to attract Americans to Canadian lands, . In the charges it was alleged that, the government was making use of a western newspaper union to fulfill ifs ends and have this erroneous informa- tion disseminated. FE. Blake Robert- son, assistant superintendent of immi- gration, vhen seen in regard to the matter, stated that no information of the Kind alleged had been supplied to {any newspaper by the government. He furthermore asserted that if necessary the department was prepared to send representatives to appear before con- gress and disprove the allegations made. It is understood here that Western United States railway interests, with large tracts of land for colonization purposes, are ai the bottom of the charges, g Tani------ WHEAT 18 ON FREE LIST ~ Simin Lash Shred, of Countervailing Duty Has Been Removed.

New Natiowhl Banks in 1913 New York, Jan. 19---~Two_hundred and seventeen applications to organ- ize national banks were filed with the Treasury Pevartment during 1913, and of this number 171 were approv- ed. Those authorized to begin busi- nigss numbered 167, with a total cap- ital of $9,300,000. In December 13 applications were made, 7 were ap- proved, and 9 began business. with $230,000 in the aggregaté. In the preceding year applications up to the end of October were 262, of whom 192 were approved.
