But in Canada, though we may be far behind the Industrial Nations

 and hundreds of other problems? We are to follow men who observe 

 and men of experience, who know. 



Our late King Edward, inherited from his father, the wise Prince 

 Albert, the true spirit of a forward Industry. This is what King Ed- 

 ward said: — "The prosperity, even the very safety and existence of our 

 country, depends on the quality of the scientific and technical training 

 of those who are to guide and control our industries." And not less 

 decided and far-seeing are the words of our late King's nephew, the pre- 

 sent Kaiser, Wilhelm of Germany. In opening a new University in 

 Breslau in 1910, the German Emperor said: "The close connection be- 

 tween Technical Science and Industry becomes year by year more mani- 

 fest, and it is not only by chance that the immense advance made by our 

 industrial work is contemporaneous with the progressive development 

 of our Technical University system in Germany. The times are past in 

 which a school of practice sufficed for the engineer. Whoever wishes to 

 be equal to the demands made by technics in our time must go into the 

 battle of life equipped with a solid scientific education. "
