Toastmaster Kopke, who was himself
received with all the honors to his
health when introduced at the begin
ming of the feast. arose near the end
of the courses to exercise his func-
lions.
1.-The Directors was the first toast
Mr.. Kopke stated, that they had left
six months of work behind them and
now had a new set of officers. He
hoped they would all do well by them,
They should not sit and say nothing
but get up and ask questions. Geo. P.
Denison was called on to respond.
Mr.. Denison spoke of the Importance
of discussion at meetings. The ques-
ton box would be a good means of
the meetings. The direct
ors, he was sure, would do their best
to make the ensuing term prosperous
and profitable.
Mr. Kopke said they We're there at
their third semi-annual meeting, as
they were year and half old. They
seemed to be a sturdy organization
as he looked over the tables. They
had heard of the past, and now he
would call on Mr.. Gartley, a very able
man, to talk to them about the posi-
biiities of the future.
Mr. Gartley referred to the engineer
ing profession as a growth of the last
half century in the United States. 1t
give the engineering society their best
endeavors, SO that engineering and
those who followed it should have their
proper standing in the community.
Cooperation was necessary to success.
A great consolidat ton of industrial in
terests had taken place in the past few
years. because without it complete sue
cess could not have been attained.
Their own organization had grown
very fast, exceeding the utmost expec-
tations in its year and half of ex-
istence. Opportunities for engineers
in these islands were very great. If
that organization improved the rela-
lions between employers and employed,
a better understanding, it
would have done a very great work.
Mr.. Kopke. with the remark that it
was the young people the older men,
bers took an interest in, called on j. u.
Avery to speak for the Junior men,
bers.
Mr.. Avery replied with humorous
definition of malihinis and kamaainas,
breaking off this line tn say he had
only been dreaming of P. G. times IN
ireland. He believed the kamaainas'
chief desire was to make them all feel
az home and speak out in meeting.
One request to the kamaainas was IL
allow the younger members to ask
questions. and in answering them 70
speak in plain arithmetic when it would
serve as we'll as the integral calculus
Mr.. Pratt, near the close of the pro-
gram. replied for the dinner commit
tee They had been pleased to re-
ceiye so many acceptances and they
regretted the absence of some beyond
tho sea, some on the sea. and Others
Tnavoidably detained. They thanked
all who assisted them. The beer was
donated-someone had said If the beel
didn't run Hooking couldn't run. CT
md cigarettes had come from th'
