The most astonishing figures comefrom that troublesome and turbulentregion the Balkan Peninsula, where itmight have been supposed that lifeis less secure than elsewhere in Eur-ope. Servia reports 573 people whoare 100 years old or more; Rumania,1,084; a^d Bulgaria no fewer than3,880.

A very great deal of successamongst tlie German manufacturers hasbeen the result of technical educationto the young in that country. The re-sult has been to give in some branchesof manufactures a very great pre-emin-ence and a consequent loss of trade toother countries. In Great Britain andhere, too, we have suffered from lack oftechnical education. I hope that manufacturers will havetheir sons avail themselves of the scien-tific education provided in our great uni-versities, such as Toronto and McGill,and that they will throw the weight oftheir great influence in seeing that propertechnical instruction is afforded to ouryouth. Our agricultural colleges havelargely increased the value of the pro-ducts of the farm. Technical and scien-tific schools would do the same formanufacturers.
