ENGINEERING SCHOOL.
WELLINGTON'S CLAIMS. (From Our Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, Thursday. A strong plea for a Wellington school of engineering was made by Mr. V. G. Boivin at a social held in the Wellington branch of the New Zealand Institute of Marine and Power Engineers. "New Zealand has electric power, coal, and the best working climate in the world, and we should have the enterprise, capital, and the workmen to develop our secondary industries," he said. "There is a. need for an engineering school in Wellington, as a school forms the spiritual centre of a profession. Perhaps the fact that there is no engineering school here accounts for Auckland and Christchurch having stronger engineering industries than we have."
