There seems to always be a catch in some subject.

This does not ap- pear likely. We learn that Al Az- iiar, the most famous univeristy of the East, ii soon to disap]>ear as a centre of the Hsam world and a doi::- inant factor in Egyptian life. The University, with its 12,000 litudents, is now without a head, the iiarliament of P-gypt having refused to nominate a successor to the ven- iable head who recently retired after laving spent hi.s adult life within its v.-alls.

To educate the producers what kind of stock or vegetables are the best to raise or grow, also what kind of a cake suits the taste the best.

However with the award of the Wrigley company of ?2.000 each to the al)ovc two and George Young, n more favorable impression was giv- en that the swimmers had received justice. Reminiscences of thirty-odd yeprs ago was the principal topic under discussion 'in The Chronicle offico last Tuesday morning for half hour or so, when Dr. E. F. .\rmstrong, a a former Flesherton boy and school chum of the writer dropped into our sanctum on his way home from vis- iting his relatives in that village foi the past few days. With him wire his wife and four sons, and after u visit with friends at Buffalo, and a trip to the Toronto Exhibition, the party expects to reach their home at Cobalt a week from next Sunday. To be exact it is just about 32 years since we two met before, and it was quite natural that our con- versation should drift back to the days when we cut our names in the school furniture, played hockey and made rafts on the Flesherton mill- pond, and did many other useless, but to us, necessary things, in the exuberance of our bo.vhood spirits. "Ern" (short for Ernest) was the name our friend got sometimes, but to those of us who knew him best he went by the title "Dutch", though where it originated we do not know. The writer's father, the late editor of The Chronicle, was teacher in the Flesherton school at that time. Personally, we have always en- tertained the notion that "Dutch- Armstrong and ourselves were the two most valuable pupils in the old Flesherton school. If anything went wrong while the teacher's back was turned, it was always quite safe for the teacher to whale the stuffing out if either of us. There might be a slight mistake in the one selected, but it always was certain that one or the other was either responsible , for the devilment, or was accessory before or after the fact. Anyway one of us was usually in the "pres- ent" class when the long strap was taken from the little drawer on the I teacher's platform. Right or wrong I both could take his "trimming", and I we don't believe either ever "peach- I cd" no matter how severe the pun- / ishment. The schoolmaster of the day looked mighty, and big, and ' cross, as he weilded the strap, but we have a sneaking idea that he secretly admired us for the fact that iio matter how hard the going, "ach took his medicine without a squawk. But these old days are gone for- ever. After reviewing the good old davs when a kid was a kid and shoes were taboo, we spent a few minutes in comparing notes as to what had happened in the interim. The writer went to the south, spent some years in the South Seas in sailing, iiVith the armv, in fact we tried a little (,f evervibing but the ministerial pro- I'ession! Mr. Armstrong went to dental college and after graduating went into the North countr>' and was one of the pioneers (f the Cobalt district. He, it was, named Pearl Lake; first sitaked the ground on which the Norando and Mollinger ines are now located, besides hav- various other mining clairii.^ which he sold some year.' ago. As n result of his prospecting, though this pari was nr>t mentioned by Dr. Armstrong, he is now on Easv Street liMancially. has been Mayor of Cobalt and is one of the prominent res.- dents of Ontario's newer sections.

In our eonversation, we also spoke <.f the iireseiit-day idea of holding an Old Home Week for the boys and girls who have left Flesherton. This part of the conversation got under way after we had looked over some old' school pictures taken at Flesh- erton school over :'.5 years ago. We were of one opinion. Flesherton should have an Old Home Week. Every town should have one. These eeleb'ralions mean little or nothing to those who have grown up and re- mained in their native town, but to those who have moved away and sel- ,lom return to the old scenes, well, there are few who would not wel- come the chance to return and frnt- erni/e once more with those of their school pals who have jwssed out of their knowledge years ago, and are now only remembered as they nmiear while attending the old school.â€" Dur- ham Chronicle. _ Softball at Owen Sound Two Softball teams from Flesher- ton. men and Indies, played several j ^ games in Owen Sound on Saturday, y^ and made n real impression.
