The Board carefully oonsiderde the proposal and agreed that in some subjects at least the innovation would lie desirable. It accordingly wrote to tho University Council recommending the council to afford faculties for the issue of professors’ lectures, in typed form where the teacher considers this desirable. The council oti Tuesday referred the ill,fter to the Finance Committee tl) consider in cfiiifbrdiicc With iTpresentatird of the ri'Hfessbrial Bofird: The suggest ion is that a permanent typist be appointed for this work:

We fully recognise the desire on the part of both Government and people to do the fair thing by those who have suffered loss, hut only the Association can make the need a>Dentate, and persistently press the claim untifl justice is obtained. Experience has revealed that the disabilities of the war are so varied that thousands of eases are not covered by existing regulations. It is therefore easy for a Government Department to endeavour to evade its responsibilities by merely stating this fact. The individual sufferer representing his own case would lie compelled to accept the reply as final, hut the Association demands that the regulations he interpreted in spirit as well as in letter, and, if necessary, it carries the claim to a higher court until such claim is satisfied or sufficient reason given why it should not be granted. One of the chief functions of the Association, therefore, is to act as the mediator between the State and those who have suffered loss. This can be done, and then just claims satisfied, only in so far as returned soldiers stand united in the Association.” ■ Schroder and Co. have much pleasure ' in announcing the arrival of their first i shipment of millinery in velours, bea--1 vers, velskin, and the newest fancy 1 straws.
