to general agriculture ; and whereas the proper handling and utiliza- 

 tion of these screenings is dependent on information as to the nutritive,

 therefore, be it resolved that the necessity for such researches be 

 brought to the attention of the Advisory Committee on Research of 

 this Society for their consideration and action. — Carried. 



It was moved by Dr. Pelham Edgar, seconded by Mr. A. B.

 Deputy Minister of Mines and the Director of the Geological Survey 

 for their kindness in placing the rooms of the Victoria Memorial

It was moved by Brig. Gen. Cruikshank, seconded by Dr. A. 

 McMechan, that in the opinion of this Society some fitting national 

 memorial should be established in honour of Archibald Lampman as • 

 a pioneer poet of Canada, and especially as a poet of Ottawa, and 

 that steps be taken to bring this matter to the notice of the Dominion 

 Government, and that in the opinion of this Society the most appro- 

 priate place for such a memorial would be Nepean Point. — Carried. 



It was moved by Dr. Fields, seconded by Prof. Lloyd, that in the 

 opinion of your committee on science and scientific conditions in 

 Canada productive research in our universities and the training of 

 research men are of the very first order of importance for the develop- 

 ment of the country. We, therefore, recommend that: 



(a) The appointment of heads of scientific departments in our 

 universities should be made primarily on the ground of research 

 qualifications. 



(b) That those members of the teaching staff who are qualified 

 to do research work should be encouraged to follow their inclination 

 and adequate aids thereto should be furnished whether in the form 

 of additional keep or added equipment and supplies. — Carried.
