LANDE Dear Mr. Editor: From time to time, especially of recent date, I have noticed in your column many editorials on the ever increasing number of traffic accidents in this city. Is not your solution of stricter laws, more laws, greater enforcement of laws-in plain words putting "the cart before the horse"- and in this Province without a light? Laws will not make safe drivers or courteous dri'vers. The right form of instruction· will do it­ such as knowing more than something about how to drive a car-the psychology of driving a car- and the rules of the road ; instruction that has been tried and tested with excellent results by some of the progressive· schools in the United States, resulting in Insurance rates being reduced in such districts. What an excellent medium T elevision could be ! Believe me Sir, it is much easier to make a law than it is to make a law abiding citizen; much easier to construct a school than to make constructive changes in its curriculum . That much · I know, I have tried to get a hearing from the School boards on the subjeot, more than once and it is more or less pounding the air. W e live in a congested community to-day. We live with the machine, and the more power man has, the more res­ ponsibility he has to his fellowman. But that responsibility can only be taught at home, or failing that in the school. Mr. Editor, why not start at the right end? It is far less costly even though more difficult. But this difficulty of giving something to oyr youngsters more than laws will surely repay the effort.

NORRIS Principal, Sir George Williams College HE MOST active and .hectic registration period in the College's history has T come to a close, with enrollment continuing its steady upward climb in all units of the College and Schools. Increases have been recorded in all units of th~ institution,- the College itself, particularly the Evening Division, showing the most spectacular gains. Total figures this year will be about 300 in excess of last year's and will indicate the_larg est registration the College has had. The registrar is stiff trying to devise methods of eliminating the excessive rush of opening day, and at the same time be fair to former students who deserve and require the first chance to choose courses which may fi ll up early in the registration period. Further changes in procedure may be expected next year. Total enrollment in the College and Schools last year reached 6,500 students. It will probably go to 6,700 or 6,800 this year, the College alone accounting for probably 3,800 of them. Plans for the new building are still actively on the agenda, and are engaging the continuous attention of the Planning and Building Committees. There is every indication_that demolition of buildings presently occupying the site may commence as scheduled in May or June, 1954, and the building be ready for occupancy some time in 1956. That means that the Day students who are freshmen this year will spend their final year in the new plant. The elimination of the multifarious annexes will be a great boon to the operation of the College and a great day for the student body. The College nas ·beeti represented at three anniversary celebrations of three institutions in recent months. At the fiftieth anniversary of M acDonald Institute of the Guelph Agricultural College, Sir George was· represented by Mr. George Barker of Toronto, a graduate . of this College; the Principal represented the College at the centenary celebrations at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S. in September ; and the Registrar, Mr. Douglass Burns Clarke, was our representative at the centenary of the founding of University College of the Univer­ sity ~£ Toronto and the iristallation 6f Dr. Samuel Beatty as the new Chancellor of the University.

  • At the Heart of the City, a Series of Three Guided Tours Offered by Heritage Montreal and Ivanhoé Cambridge
    L’avenir en héritage A heritage for the future For immediate release At the Heart of the City, a series of three guided tours offered by Heritage Montreal and Ivanhoé Cambridge Montreal, April 28, 2015 – This spring, Heritage Montreal and Ivanhoé Cambridge are pleased to present for the second year, a series of three guided tours under the theme At the Heart of the City. From May 12 to June 18, take a break from the daily grind of “subway-work-sleep” and cast a fresh eye upon Montreal’s architectural treasures, witnesses to the development and international stature of the city where you spend every day! Starting from Dorchester Square (formerly Dominion Square), which was developed in the 19th century and would go on to serve as the gateway to downtown, each of the three tours explores milestones in the development of the city centre, from major constructions, such as Windsor Station and Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral, to important retail and office complexes such as the Sun Life Building and Dominion Square Building and Montreal’s landmark Place Ville Marie, a symbol of modernity. Series of three tours offered from May 12 to June 18, 2015: • Dominion Square: new gateway to downtown (1870-1930): May 12 and 21, June 2 and 11 • The Beginnings of the Modern City (1930-1962): May 14 and 26, June 4 and 16 • The Modern City Today (1960-2015): May 19 and 28, June 9 and 18 The guided tours, each lasting 90 minutes, are available in both French and English on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30 p.m.

This article advances an interpretation of Place Publisher(s) Ville-Marie as a capital investment in the “production of space.” The project was a highly speculative effort by its developer, William Zeckendorf, to utilize Urban History Review / Revue d'histoire urbaine monumental architecture to sell prestige to corporate tenants. This took place in specific, historically contingent, and politically contested circumstances. In a ISSN period when modernization was a powerful and popular idea, Zeckendorf cultivated a myth about Place Ville-Marie that accommodated and absorbed 0703-0428 (print) nationalist aspirations within Montreal and Canada that were fixed upon the 1918-5138 (digital) panacea of modernization.

PARADIS PRINTER TO HIS MAJESTY THE KING 1937 PREFATORY NOTE In the statistical tables, and in the review of the mining industry of the Province during the year, the term "production" is synonymous with "quantity sold, shipped, or used", and does not necessarily represent "out- put". The ore and other mineral products remaining as "stock on hand" at the end of the year are not included in the production figures. Unless otherwise stated, the ton used throughout is that of 2,000 pounds, and the year referred to is the calendar year, ending December 31st. Values are given in Canadian funds. The present report was preceded on March 4th by a statistical state- ment, giving provisional figures of production, subject to revision. The figures in the present volume supersede the provisional ones. The Annual Report of the Bureau of Mines for 1936 is published in several parts, of which this volume is Part A.
