It is pleasing to be able to note that there is a decided increase in the number of students who arc studying for the degree course in engineering, due probably to the fact that it has been possible to shorten the course without impairing the efficiency of the instruction. The regulations made by the Public Works Department to enable their junior officers to avail themselves of the advantages and training at the School of Engineering have been such that five entered upon their associate course. These regulations allow those attending to receive half-pay during the session, but compel them to take up their ordinary work for the Department during the vacation. Four of these sat for and were successful in their associate course. Of other students in the school, two sat for their associateship, and one, J. G. Goodfellow, obtained the highest marks in the Empire, and was therefore awarded the Bayliss Prize. It is a matter of congratulation that there is this fresh evidence of the soundness and thoroughness of the instruction given at the School of Engineering, especially at a time when attempts have been made somewhat to underestimate the value of the education that is given here.
