Mr. Cornish visioned these bor- dered by league-long avenues of stately trees. Mr. Cornish submitted that there should be opposition to any further restrictions on access to the sea- shore, whatever part of the country it may be. “Oi all the greater man- ufacturing countries with dense population, none equals our own in accoaslblity oi coast an proportion oi coast line to area.

"It is the duty of the academic to educate the nation in the apprecia- tion oi its heritage oi scenery. when the ‘ eflts of scenic beauty are thus extended from the few to the many, the people titemselvse will guard the goodly heritage. The best method for carrying out this in- structlon in school is in connection withr regional survey." .

GLASGOW, Scpt, lib-The strong influence of engineering on civiliza- tion was stressed by Sir William Ellis in his address‘ as preident of the engineering section of the Brit- ish Association for the Advance- ment of Science, when the British Association gathered here this month. Transport, Industry, and Health were the three great phases of the modern world in which en- ghngering played an outstanding p .

Sir William illustrated that inthe early part oi the loth century main roads did not exist to any great ex- tent, and all roads were in a very inferior condition. The engineer stepped in and by revolution of transport methods-introduction of the modern road and of motor- driven vehicles, of the fast railroad and of the steams —performed an invaluable work. The very exist- ence of the population in large cities in health and comfort is the result of the engineer's work. for without an ample and reliable sup- ply of good water and an efficient drain e control, the death rate woul be greatly different from -what it actually is, said.

The noble bridges all over the world. the great reservoirs and har- bors, Sir William tenned the "cathe- drals of engineering," He could not definitely say that any one branch oi engineering held premier position in association with modern civiliza- tion. But if the value of the work was considered on the basis of the greatest good to the greatest num-

forts of modern travel, whether by road, air or water, must take and- ondary place, much as they are ap- preciated. He thought such bu“- tions as purity and sufficiency of water supply ior large cities, coupled with scientific drainage, w m; first essentials of comfort trifle..- fore it was in this field per-hips that engineers had done their greatest work.

Sir William tentative) s estod that the great universitigs wines Well w apply education in g9 engineering pl ‘leans im- two years oi a university co fluid allow an honors degree t6 film in one or other of the ,' by“. cites of engineering.

Sir William pointed out Q19, In.“ achievements of engineers in the more important fields-the buildmg of huge lirTers: the introduction of electric tramways; the devel _'t of turbine systems which revrgu “- ized water transport; the are ‘of ever-new, high-speed ’ which makes possible all kinder! manufacture; ventilation systems and many other impfivcllflill which benefit the mines of the world. and development in the electric world which perhaps is the niflt spectacular of all advances in MGM years, and which enables light, heat and power for the es.
