N.Z. CIVIL ENGINEERS

SUCCESS IN I.C.E. EXAMS. Press Association DUNEDIN. Friday. Striking testimony to the system of training civil engineers in New Zealand is given by the results of the October examinations of the Institute of Civil Engineers, for of the total of 13 candidates who passed the whole examination (sections A, B and C>, no fewer than six were New Zealanders. In the preliminary examination 75 candidates were successful, seven being New Zealanders. The examination for associate membership found IS successful candidates in sections A and B, six of whom were residents of the Dominion. Five passed in sections A and C, only one of whom was a New Zealander. Fourteen were successful in sections B and C, six being New Zealanders. The 79 successful candidates for section A included eleven New Zealanders. In Section B and S the 26 passes numbered two New Zealanders, and in section C and S the 122 in»cluded 14 New Zealanders. When it is remembered that the population of New Zealand is but 4 per cent, of that of the whole of the British Empire, it speaks well for the New Zealand system that the Dominion should have obtained 15 per cent, of the total passes.
