One of the world greatest achievements in engineering, and certainly the most spectacular feat of its kind ever at tempted by British engineers, is now nearing completion.
This is the erection of a 4, 000 ton steel arch from which to hang a roadway over the Riv.
er Tyne, between Newcastle and Gateshead. Originally estimated to cost one million pounds sterling, it is now known that the total expenditure upon this bridge will exceed that figure. The great arch will be joined over the river in the month of March this year, the roadway will, it is expected, be completed in the late Autumn and the scheme in all its details will be completed early next Spring. Work on this titanie structure began over two years ago. The foundations of the bridge comprise four immense masses of steel and concrete, two on each side of the river, sunk seventy feet below the two quaysides. The terms of the contract were that the approaches of the main bridge should not in any way obstruct the river Tyne. As a consequence of this the main arch had to have a span of 531 feet, and the top of the arch will be over 200 feet above the water. The accuracy which the engineers did their work may be judged from the fact that, when the two sides of this great arch were still 140 feet a part, they were in line to one eigth of an inci.

University Airmen.
Oxford University under graduates have shown great interest in aeronautics during the past few years, though their work has been mainly directed to theoretical study Now they are to have greater opportunities for practical work. The Air Ministry, which is responsible for most of the expenditure on the University Air Squadron, is arranging for ten students, after they have spent two years in training, to have an hours fiight a day.
When the Squadron was formed in October 1925, its numbers were limited by the Air Ministry to twenty five. The If ontinued. Page 6)
with The Demerara Daily Chronicle of a recent date says editorially: There are three aspects of the education question in the Caribbean colonies in which Jamaica undoubtedly leads this colony. We refer to the facilities which the Pearl of the Antillies affords, or is about to afford, elementary school teachers for gaining that wide experience which their vocation demands, and the precautions that are taken for safeguarding the health of the child both by means of medical as well as by dental examinations. According to recent island exchanges, a determined endeavour is being made to enlarge the scope and usefulness of the medical examinations of the children in the elementary schools of Jamaica, dental clinics have been establish as the result of the munificence of the Rockefeller Foundation Institute, and teachers in the elementary schools are about to enjoy the privilege of travelling scholarships at the expense of the State.

For years past No Irritation no Couch our teachers have clamoured for the establishment of local training schools but with the characteristic policy of niggardliness that is always adopted whenever education votes are being considered, it has as frequently been urged that the colony is unable to foot the bill that would have been necessary to defray the DTOR ALARAR Paparan mahap managing masamang MA expenditure on such an item.
