PROGRAMME, 



The programme of the ensuing year is before you. Your Council 

 have been at no Httle pains to prep ire it. I believe it is one worthy of 

 the Club, and I am sure it is one sufficiently varied to prove interesting 

 to all. Our speakers are well known men in science, and they have 

 selected subjects upon which they can speak as those in authority. I 

 would earnestly invite such an attendance at our meetings as will show 

 those who are thus working for us that we appreciate their efforts. I 

 can confidently assure you that a regular attendance will not only give 

 encouragement to those who address us, but also embue the listener, 

 with that interest which results in benefit to themselves, and in the 

 acquirement of much useful knowledge. 



In conclusion, allow me to offer you four short rules for the coming 

 year : 



1. Attend the meetings regularly. 



2, Read the Journal. 



3, Go to the Excursions. 



4. Pay your membership fee. 



These are simple and easy to remember, and if fiithfully carried 

 out will make the Club still more successful than it has been in the 

 past. 



Mr. Shutt's lecture on Ventilation, entitled " The Air of our 

 Houses," which here followed, will be printed in a future number.

A GREAT ALMAMAC. 



The Sfar Almanac of Montreal is just out. It is a splendid 

 thing. Everybody should have it, if they can possibly get it. It is 

 being sent abroad in large numbers.
