LIVINGSTON'S 75-79 BROCK STREET "If Off Your Route It Pays To Walk" GATHERING OF as Addressed by by Major 8. GC. Norsworthy of the Bank of Montreal. A splendid meeting of the -King- ston Institute-of Bankers was held Monday evening in the Board of Trade rooms with the president, G. R. Ball, in the chair. The speaker of the occasion was Major S. C. Norsworthy, district superintendent of the Bank of Montreal, who has been in the city in connection with the opening of the new building of that institution. He chose as his topic "Efficiency in the Bank" 'and gave a talk that was of the higheps value to his audience. Major Nors- worthy started with the junior clerk and went right up the list to the general manager, showing in the process of his explanation that a junior clerk may climb that ladder by the application of the proper prin- ciples. A vote of thanks was moved to the speaker by George Hague and seconded by the Dr. R. Bruce Tay- lor; a friend of Major Norsworthy during the days of overseas service. Following the address the usual open discussions and business of the institute proceeded. Several stu- dents of the commerce course at Queen's, as well as members of the faculty, were present. Previous to the meeting of the Bankers' Institute, the Bank of Mon- treal tendered a banquet in the Frontenac Club at which were pre- sent sixteen bank managers of the district, embracing a territory as far east as Brockville and as far west as Belleville, The event was a very enjoyable one.

Que. Tells About the "Boys." It was indeed a worth-while talk that | Joseph Barss, superintendent of the Boys' Training School at Shawbridge, | Que., gave to the Kingston Kiwanis | club at its evening meeting in the | Frontenac Hotel on Monday. He called his address "Boys," but a more suitable title for it would be: "An In- troduction to the Pathology of Moral Diseases." Kiwanian "Joe" Barss has made a life work of the study and training of delinquent boys and from the results of his long experience he has derived a fund of knowledge and information which places him in the forefront of present- day workers for good, His idea is to treat a delinquent boy as a send of as a prisoner, to cure him i { | instead of punishing him. The the outcome of the system of caring for delinquent boys in that province. The Catholic people of Quebec, with their sisterhoods and brotherhoods, look after their own delinquents and the government pays:them a per capita grant and then washes its hands of she work. When the Protestant population became sufficiently large to have a problem of its own, the government treated it in exactly the same way and the Shawbridge home is ope of the re- sults. So good has been the work done by Joseph Barss and his assistants, and so sound is their logic on the matter, that there is a widespread movement in Ontario to have a similar school es- tablished. It is a well-known fact that Premier Ferguson is interested in the project and that Lincoln Goldie, pro- vincial secretary, is doing all in his power to bring it about. Mr. Barss has had twenty-six years of boys' work all over the world. He has conferred with the leaders in such work in other countries, has studied other methods and has brought the matter to the stage where it is not a| system of punishment and enforced | correction but a healing science that | gréatest. Out of the fullness of his wide practical experience Mr. Barss spoke to the Kiwanians. He called a spade by its proper name and hit forth | from the shoulder with his statements and arguments, He had every man in the room paying close attention and thinking seriously. During the course of his address, the speaker mentioned the excellent work done by Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs in aiding under-privileged boys. At the Shawbridge Home there is. a building endowed and looked after by the Montreal Rotary Club. The new hos- pital is endowed and kept up to stand- ard by the Montreal Kiwanis clubs, and it is through the medium of such real helpers that the excellent work is freed from political dependence and goes on without interruption. Mr. Barss characterized the work being done there as the "foundation of a pathology of moral diseases" and his address led his hearers to agree with him. The vote of thanks was moved by Kiwanian Harry Wilder and seconded by Kiwanian J. M. Campbell; the latter referring to the work of Mr. Barss as "practical Christianity." During the evening a boost was put on by Kiwanian Bert. Booth, who dis- tributed many very acceptable prizes to about fifteen of the members. The girls' hockey teams of Queen's Uni versity and University of Toronto were the guests of the club for the oc- casion and joined in the singing to make it better than it has been in a long time, A lady song leader would be a big help to Kiwanis, though Kiwan- ian James Halliday certainly led his choruses well, M letter was read from the Kingston Amputations Associa- tion asking support from the club for their contention that the pensions to | disabled soldiers should not be reduc- | ed. The matter was explained by Ki- | wanian Albert Hughes and a resolution | put through supporting it, which was | seconded by Kiwanian Sir Archibald | Macdonell. The matter of sending a delegate to | the meeting with the provincial secre- | tary concerning the establishment of al schoel for delinquent boys in Ontario was referred to the executive' for ac- tion. There were several guests pres ent, including Capt. Macdonald and Samuel Sutherland, St. Louis, Mo. Al showdown for those who were to at-! tend the big Kiwanis ball tonight brouglit most of the members to their feet. -------- To Speak on Fuel Problem. i This evening, Tuesday, February 26th, at 8 p.m., in the physics build- ing, Queen's University, the King- ston branch of the Engineeriag In- stitute of Canada will be addressed by 'James White, of Ottawa, on "The Fuel Problem of Ontario."
