The President's Message The President – mayag hive, favoured, and may still favour, the principle of monarchical gata ernment, bat he is not to be led astray by his personal loaninga He still remains the shrewd, clear-/ thinking, clear-eyed, sistesmann who has brought peace to Chins and whese fires purpose as Frost- dent is to preserve that peace un impaired in order that prosperity, may come to his country. Ho has been chosen sa President. and President he will remain un- fil the majority of the people de- cide that the office of President shall go. And he has taken men- sures to ensure that no hasty de- cision, carrying with it strife and perhaps bloodshed, shall be erri ved at. The nation may decide on a changa to great, but it shall ba given time fairly and calmly to decide. That is the meaning and effect of the President's mesasge. It is a fins example of the highest form of patriotism and of the purest form of statesmanship,

Affairs in China.
The one question now at issue ia-"Is it worth while to take the risk of changing the name?"
In spite of the dangers beselting the path of the would-be prophet, we would venture so far as to suggest that Yaan Shih-kai will not take this step at present nor in the immediate future. In this he will not be swayed by a love of republican institutions, although he did declara in 1912 that "the establishment of the republio falalled
his long-cherished. desires"; these desires bad lein dormanteoloog and were discover- ed so late and so anddenly that we do not think they would exercise a very great influence in a orisis; the determining motive will be expediency. At present, under the name of a republic," Yusn Shih-kai enjoys all the powers of a monarob, and he is much too astuto a statesman to imporil the powers be cotually poseosses for a mere question of nomenclature. The only imagin able oiroumstance that could in- dace him to make each a change would be proof that it was deeir- ed by the artionlate minority of the people; the inarticulate majority would always accept the fait accompli in such a matter provided it ocet them nothing in land tar or other exactions.

From Class Room to Trench and the Future,
In the profession of engineer ing examinations are of very recent introduction. They began at the colleges, the diplomas being thasign of a well-spent academical career. Then the institutions, one. by one, adopted them as one of the conditions of entrance to the lower
grades, and, as of recent years, there has been an agitation to confine all official engineering appointments to members of the leading institutions, we are faced, with the probability that in the near future some sections of the work will be closed to those who have not passed spoosssfully through an academic curriculum in early youth, Fortunately, entrance to full member of the institutions is not hampered by samorestrich but experience shows that the man who is refused agan assboiata- member, or who does not make an application for that
