EDITORIAL 



A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all. May 

 you all have a goodly share of success and prosperity during 1910. 



At a recent meeting of the Alumni Association, one of the 

 members spoke about the attendance not being as large as it should 

 be in comparison with the number of members we have. This was 

 attributed to a lack of attraction and interest in the routine of 

 business. 



To remedy this it was suggested that papers of interest be read 

 as was the custom in former years. Meetings must be made 

 attractive to the members and the suggestion was certainly a good 

 one to start with. Every one of our members is urged to try and 

 write up a paper on some subject interesting to him and present 

 it at a meeting of the Alumni Association.
