LEMCO

MILK

A little Lemco stirred into milk will nearly

Lemco gives equally good re- sults when prescribed in the same way for invalids and the aged, especially where the digestive system is weakened orderanged Doctors recommend sto 1/4 teaspoonful of LEMCO being added to a pint of hot milk.

THE EDUCATION OF ENGINEERS.

A: Conference on the education and training of engineers was held last month at the London Institution of Civil Engineeri“, under the presidency of Mr. Alexander Slemens, the President of the Institution.

The Conference was formally opened by Mr. Alexander Siemens, who explained that in call- the Conference together the Council had endeavoured to define the score of the discussion to be to consider the its object to be "to by declaring methods of preparation to be adopted by those who contemplate entering the engineering I

*pro fession in compliance with conditions laid down by the by-laws for election into the Institution.

The arrangement of the meetings was therefore based on the e requirements of the by-laws, which demanded that a candidate should possess (1)

A sound general education, developed upon lines suited to subsequent scientific study: (2) compatent knowledge of those branches of science which formed the basis of enginearing; and (3) practical training under actual engin eering conditions. The problem enbmitted to the Conference might be expressed by saying that a young engineer should be educated so se to become a dividend-earner for his employer, for this was the most reliable indication of his morit, and the corresponding reward would not be wanting. For the saus reason he should possess some knowledge of business methode and of law, not with a view to becoming his own but in order to be able to judge when lawyer, legal advice was needed. Beside all these re- quirements he would find one or more modern Languages very mueful for obtaining renners- employment, as the value of his services was thereby increased in the estimation of his employer. The omission of this "business" aspect of education should not be taken as a sign of its unimportance, but owing to the short time at disposal the Council considered it desirable to indicate the lines to be followed by asking number of prominent men to open the discussion on defaite subjects in the three sections of the Conference, all of which had direet bearing on the question of so instruct ing young men as to it them to take part in the design as well as in the control and direction of enginearing works. It was not proposed that definite resolutions should be arrived at by the Conference, but that it should be simply a mehe of

f forming and maturing the views of thens interested in the subjects brought forward for dison ssion.

Sie William White said the President desired him to say a few words in respect to tho development of the education of engineers in recent years. The first step taken was by the senior past-president, Sir John Wolfe Barry, and the second was under his own presidency, when a representative Committee on engineering education was formed. Now had come the third step, which followed upon the revision of the Institution's by laws and regula tions. Looking at the thing broadly, it appeared to him that the Srst step was followed by thur extreme development of braizing; in fact, there had been a danger of the system of coaching taking the place of training which all preferred to artificial development. Then came the at tempt in the Committee of which he was the Chairman to make understood more generally what the Councils of the great engineering societies believed to be the best mode of training for the young men who were to enter the en- gineering profession and were of average ability. He had always thought that one of the most valuable passages in theroport of that Committes was to be found in the statement that the pages of the report were intended for the average student.

He stood amongst those who thought that the danger of excessive devotion to the scientific Fide was very considerable in these days, and that the Institution was doing well in recalling attention to the abrolate necessity for a thorough practical training, For a long period British engineering was not based on scientific methods to the extent it ought to have boen. Then when the scientific training began there was the danger of undue exaltation of such knowledge. He took it that-in-that-Conference an endeavour was to be made to reach the golden-

Sir John Wolle Barry said he was entirely agreed that the best practical training should be given to engineers, and having been President when the examination system was set on foot he thought perhaps he ought to кау that the particular work which bad to be taken in hand ai that time was the scientific preparation of engineers for their profession, which really up to that time had been utterly neglect. ed so far as the conditions of bolonging to the Institution ware concerned. The necessity for a grounding in the soientific lines of the profession was felt to be important, and be thought they had done rightly in giving a prominent place to it when the system of ex- aminations was started. But he thought the Council always foresaw that that was only part of the business. At that particular time it was the essential part, and no one could doubt that the status of civil engineers in the scientific world and the world at siderably raised by the sarge had been very con- step which was taken at that period. The practical part of the training of a civil engineer had, of course, always boon to a certain extent provided for by the by laws of the Institution, and what was

the

being done дору wax rathor to give form and substance to the general regulation as to practical training. To that extent he was entirely in accord with the general views whisk had been put forward by Sir William White. But there was sanother point on which he had felt strongly for

some years, that was, that general education of an accomplished gentleman should not be lost sight of the carrieaizm of the civil engineer, What they all wanted was to turn out a vivil engineer as a cultured gentleman, with scientific knowledge of his profession, and with that prac tical training without which he could pat neither the one nor the other into use in the career which might lie before him.

READ HER LETTER ABOUT IT:

"I herewith enclose you one of my latest photographs, which will show you what NEWERO'S HERPICIDE has done for my hair. Since using your remedy my hair is much longer than it was, and it has that lustre to it that one's hair always has when the scalp is in a healthy condition."

The immense popularity of Newbro's Herpicide, particularly among the better class, is due to the fact that it never disappoints. It does all and more than is claimed for it.

Its delightful fragrance, perfect clearness and freedom from grease or vil, appeal to the discriminating, and its cleansing, refreshing and health-giving effect upon the scalp is immediately apparent.

Herpicide makes the hair light and fluffy and gives it a silken gloss.

Extraordinarily long hair is a gift of Nature Ont relatively few possess, but not many would complain if they could save Nature's head covering in its original beauty and luxuriage,

The dandruf germ is the greatest enemy of abundant hair. This is on account of the highly contagious nature of dandraff, which makes it almost impossible to escape the disease without the occasionni neo of a garm-destroying solution.

Newbro's Herpicide is the ORIGINAL remedy that "kills the dandruff germ." It promptly eradicates dandruff, stops falling hair and (except in chronic baldness) restores the hair to is former health and activity, Herpicide stops itching of the scalp almost instantly..
