Honorable Distinction.

We are pleased to notice in the result of the recent examinations for Art Schools throughout Ontario, held in Toronto on the 1st and 2nd of May, that Miss Laura Rorke and Miss Minnie Rorke of Markdale, who have been attending the Ontario Ladies College, Whitby, are among the successful ones in obtaining teachers certificates. Miss Laura Rorke, freehand drawing, practical geometry, model drawing and memory drawing. Miss Minnie Rorke, practical geometry and model drawing. During the past session over 2000 students have been studying industrial art throughout the province : 1100 students were candidates for examinations, representing about fifty institutions. The fact that these young ladies were successful in obtaining certificates where there were so many candidates, speak very highly for them as students, and also that they must have natural gifts and tastes for the art. We wish them continued success in their future studies.
