It has to my mind a great ;idvantage over the Scottlsti and German system of stiulents living in ].rivate Kidgings all over the city. Tlie r(>.sidence system which seems to liave been a failure in Toronto uni- veisity is a very marked feature of our Winnipeg coileg(; life. It pro- (hices a strong esprit eich under the direction of some religious body gives them a sjieci.il oi)I)(>rtunity to exercise a kind, wise, and wntchfu! care over tluj young men wlio are committed to uieir charge The atmosphere of a religious life may ever be found in the college— its moi-n- iiig and evening prayers, religious opening, and other influences freely ex- ercised supply a most v.-iluable factor in the training and development of the students- Tiiis feature will l)e most helpful in suppl\ iiig ii side of univer^ fcity education. THE TEACHING STAFF. But after all what is wanted to make any e.lueational institution is competent teaching. Goo 1 buildings, large endowments, plenty of scholar- ships, and ardent students may all be present, but it is the personality and successful effort of the teacher which after all avails. Men of (1) charac- ter, (2) of learning are w.anted. No- thing can atone for tlie want of a high, upright, and benevolent charac- ter and disposition In those who are to be mod* Is for the young. In those who are to Ixi moulilers of high eharactei in others. Learning is es- sential in the instruetxus on a univer- sity or college staff. Nothing inspireH a student so niu the seat of a m.ister. This is a most impoitaiit thing "for our joint system. It needs first-idiiss men Loth in our college and university positions. Tlie pre.s.sure arising from small st.affs and ov( rworke.! i>rofess()rs has 1(hI us into losv idevils ot what iiiii- versit.v teaching should be. To make Kiu'cess poysible pi'ofe.s.-,or.s should not be unduly ]>re,ssed with tutorial work. N<' professor can deliver more tlum two or at most three lectures of an hour eacli in the day. Contrast this ideal witli what men in .all the col- leg(is have had to do in the piist. The fact is man.v have ceased to lecture, and have come down to ;i system of grinding and c.-itechlzlng.
