Laurenson, president of the Canterbury Industrial Association. The secretary reported having sent a letter of condolence to the president in the loss of his mother, and also to the family of the late Mr. and Mrs. Mackay, and Mr. Caldwell, director of the firm, sympathising -with them in the death of Mr. and Mrs. Mackay, who were lost ■in the Lusitania. Feeling replies had been received. The Government Statistician (Mr. Malcolm Fraser) wrote in reply to the request for 30 copies of the New Zealand "Year Book" for 1914, stating that there were not'sufficient copies available. It was also stated that an application for thirty copies per year was hardly considered reasonable, and that three copies would be sent yearly. I A letter was received from tho Auckland Association, enclosing resolutions and asking support of them. These dealt with the offering of prizes for school essays relating to industrial subjects, the allowing of school children of Standards V and VI to visit factories of members, and the employing of a journalist to write pithy articles relatins to the association. The secretary said that he had arranged with, the editor of the "School Journal" to have industrial subjects 'included in the "Journal." On the motion of the president it was resolved to reply that the association agreed to the principle of the resolutions, and would be pleased to receive information as to how it was proposed to carry thom into effect.
