TREASURER’S REPORT. xli 
student’s ability to do better work and the extent to which both library 
and museum could be utilized would be greatly increased. The tendency 
in England, Ontario and the United States is towards combining 
libraries and museums in the same building. 
In conclusion, when the colleges come to see that good work in 
science in the high school gives, to say the least, as valuable mental 
discipline as classics, aud vastly more of useful knowledge ; when the 
education department provides adequate professional training for the 
higher teachers, and subjects them to tests in the laboratory which will 
demonstrate their fitness for teaching science, and when the government 
will supply us with a well-equipped museum and science library in one 
building, then but not before we will make satisfactory progress in 
science. 
The thanks of the Institute were presented to Mr. MoKay for his 
services as President.
