0f the 46 who wrote here, 38 were successful, 20 being from Durham school and the remaining 18 from nearby schools in the adjacent town- ships. The time for teachers and pupils to begin for the next examination is now, and by putting forth an honest effort and keeping it up till the last paper is disposed of at next year’s examination, a failure will be no disgrace. The boy or girl, however, who shirks work at every Opportunity during the school term, is. not. de- serving of sympathy if his name is not to be found on the list of suc- cessful candidates. Mulock school, Miss Sihyl Law- rence, teacher, passed 2; the Rocky school, Miss Esther McLean, teacher, passed 1; Edge Hill school, Miss Kerr teacher, passed 2; Laton'a school, Miss Ray, teacher, passed 4; We]- beck school, Miss Gillespie, teacher, passed 1; TOp Clifi‘ school, Miss Wil- la Patterson, teacher, passed 1; Eb- enezer school, Miss Marjory \Vright, teacher, passed 2; No. 9, Glenelg, Miss Marietta Park, teacher, passed 1; Zion school, John H.

A SUCCESSFUL YEAR The Entrance results are out and the names of successful candidates appear in this issue. I The spell is broken, the anxiety is over, and the percentage at Durham centre is eviâ€" dence of careful work on the part of the teachers and pupils. We con- gratulate the successful ones and at the same time sympathize with all who did their best and met with honest failures. {JURHAM CHRflNIBlE Mr. John A. Graham of the Durham school, has again made his usu'all record in passing his full class. “A hundred per cent. pure” is his motto and only once did he fail, and that was last year, when he lost one. It isn’t usual to make a clean sweep every year with such large classes, but Durham school seems to have “got the habit.” In Miss MacKen- zie’s time the results were similar and we have almost come to the con- clusion there is something in the material as well as in the teacher. WALKBRTON I.O.D.E. LADIES WILL GIVE THE MEN A CHANCE For some time the I.O.D.E. of Walkerton have been bringing the Chatuauqua to that town, but have decided in future to give the men a chance to try their hand at the game. The garantee for next year’s session is $1,300 and the ladies are not an- xious to assume the risk. The Chau- tauquas of the past have always made themselves absolutely safe, but it too often happens that the guar- antors have the work and experi- ence, with the additional pleasure of paying the deficits. If these high- class literary and musical organiza- tions are such dead sure money- makers they should be willing to as- sume the responsibility themselves and carry away the whole pot rather than leave the excess profits, which? occur about as seldom as angels’ visâ€" 3 its. To the patrons the charges are moderate, quite as moderate as any reasonable person can expect. As long as we are outside the list of guarantors we shall favor the Chau- tauquas, but under present methods there is too much work, anxiety and responsibility on the dozen or more who assme payment of the guarantee required. LEST WE FORGET While there is a great kick over the increased County tax each year the rate will never come down so long as circumstances continue as they are. Years ago the. municipali- ties were largely responsible for road making and now we generallyl hand it over to the County. In the? long past we cared locally for the poor and unfortunate. and now we send them to County Homes for the indigent. Educationally we used to pay school expenses almost wholly in the municipality. but now we ex- pect sheaves of grants to the High Schools, Continuation Schools and a hundred and one institutions that County Councillors place requests for at County Concils. We perhaps Often forget that the County Treas- urer does not own a mint, but in due course all these grants have to be reimbursed by the loyal tax-pay- ers. “Lest we forget,” we often re- Quire these reminders.

VALUABLB TEAM 0? HORSES LOST IN BEAVER RIVER (Collingwood Bulletin.) On Saturday Mr. E. McKean of Mc- Kean’s Mills lost a valuable team of horses at Thornbury under peculiar circumstances. They were driven to town with a load of lumber and at noon the driver drove them under the shade over the bank of the riveri and taking their bridles 011' left them: there to eat their Oats. When he came back the team was missing, but the floating rack in the mill- pond gave the clue of their where- abouts. Grappling was undertaken and they were soon discovered, both drowned. At the point at which they evidently went in, the bank was quite steep and the water fully twenty-five feet deep. The loss is serious, the team being valued at about $400. To add to Mr. McKean’s U‘OUDIBS: 001)’ a week ago he lost another valuable horse by its being strangled in a field at his mill. * The Chronicle will do it. “vâ€" vâ€"â€"-â€"- M1 m om ham-mun MILLIONS ‘ “marsh-5.44:me Better Stock ~ STANDARD SERVICE a mum Mm' Sonia . ms . ' ' STANDé‘RD BANK ,. PEBRZNOBILRBY RBSIDBRT DIES III BRITISH COLUMBIA (Kam100ps Standard.) Widespread regret was created throughout the city and district yes- terday when it became known that Hugh McLean, superintendent of the provincial home, had“ passed away at an early hour, the result of long- standing heart trouble. It had been known for some time that Mr. Mc- Lean was failing and for several days his condition showed that hopes of rallying were small. His passing, it was felt, removed a figure which was as familiar as. any of the old-timers and one who filled an important niche in city and provincial affairs, one which he had made his own and controlled with an experience and diplomacy that came with a ripened judgment, compared with a temperâ€" ament peculiarly suited to the difl‘i- cult tasks of his post. It was thirty-five years ago that Mr. McLean entered British l. Jolum- bia and for tW'entV-three 01 these he filled the appointment which he vacated by death. He had been 1n Manitoba formerly and was a native of Durham. Ontario. being born the“: June 22, 1860. The years inter- Vening between his entry to the province and his appointment had been spent in I'anchig and mining. mostly in the Nicole and Granite Creek districts. Prominent-1y identified with the Presbyterian Church, Mr. McLean for thirty years was associated with the Odd Fellows and was a trustee of the board for two decades. ' The late Mr. McLean was married iii this city to Miss Marcella Ardell of Ottawa and is also survived by his son Andrew, and his daughter, Mrs. George C. Hay. Under the auspices of ’Datnai Lodge I.0.0.F., the funeral will be held from Gordon’s Funeral Parlors on Sunday afternoon to St. Andrew’s Church, where services will be con- ducted by Rev. H. R. McGill. Mr. McLean will leave in the minds of many old men a blank which will never be filled. He was “the father of them all” and his kindly and fine treatment of his charges had become a veritable in- stinct. [The deceased was a cousin of Mr. Andrew Derby of town and a brother of Mr. Alex.

This is an announcement of im- portance, for the picture is concedâ€" ed to be one of the biggest of the year. Its power of appeal was tested at a prominent Broadway theatre, where it drew large crowds at every performance and made a tremendous impression. “Shame” is the story of a young man, David Fielding, born in an alâ€" ien land, who is brought back to the family home in San Francisco as a child after his father’s tragic death. He inherits his grandfather’s enor- mous wealth and becomes head of the big Fielding shipping interests. He marries a beautiful and talented woman and is expecting paternity. Life, so far, has been kind to young Fielding. From the country where the young shipping magnate was born, comes a trader of evil reputation, who has been balked in some of his nefarious schemes by David’s father. He finds the son and in revenge tells him he is a half-caste, son of William Field- ing and a native woman in the far- away country. The trader threatens to tell the story unless David agrees to enter with him and his shipping facilities into a‘ hugesmluggling en-' terprise. David refuses indignantly and laughs at the story of'mixed blood. The thought preys upon him however, and finally drives him to {take his infant child and ‘flee from [civilization to the snow-fields of Alaska. There he battles with a wolf and experiences other wild ad- ventures. The mystery of his life is- cleared in startling fashion. “Shame” was directed by Emmett J. Flynn. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE roam nun Hum Mr. Martin Drumm, a' veteran. Walkerton tinsmith; passed away suddenly from heart failure while motoring from Formosa to his home in Wa-lkerton about 3 o’clock Wed- nesday morning of last week. Mr. Roy Oberle, who was driving the car, thought the old gentleman had drOp- ped 011‘ to sleep, and had not noticed that death had occurred till he ar- rived at the home in Walkerton. Coroner Taylor of Hanover was noti- tied and decided that an, inquest was not necessary. Deceased was of German origin, born in the city of New York, July 4, 1852, and moved in infancy with his parents to water- 100 County, where he remained till he had reached his teens, when the family moved to Neustadt, where he learned his trade as a tinsmith. , He went to W’alkerton 48 years ago. ’He was twice married, the first wife dying after ten years of married life and the second six years ago. CYCLONE NEAR CREEMORE (Flesherton Advance.) . A strange story has reached us of a cyclone which struck the farm of George Day, who lives two miles south of Creemore, on Thursday af- ternoon of last week. Mr. Day’s house barn and driving shed were lifted bodily from their foundations and scattered in all directions. The fa- mily, including two little children, were whirled through the air along with the debris, but none of them were killed, although all were more or less bruised. The farm next .ad- joining was untouched. The followâ€" ing day a hundred neighbors gatherâ€" ed and put. up a temporary frame house and kitchen for the distressed family. WOMAN’S BARE BACK (Carleton Place Canadian.) Like many puritanical reformers, many envious or afflicted sisters, and a few women haters, a certain parson recently declared that he was shocked by the brevity of the dresses worn by women. “Why,” he spluttered in convenâ€" tional indignation, “at some recep- tions I could count every vertebra- from the waist up! I was shocked!” Which goes to prove that the person is a close observer of certain things and an adept at. anatomical arithme- tic. Why is it that the bare arms, back or shoulders of even the best of WO- men give a certain class of men the unholy jimmies every time they see them exposed? If they can’t think decently about such things, why don’t they emulate St. Anthony and break for the woods where the wo- men can’t undo them? “Evil be to him who evil thinks” is just as applicable to a\ p'arson as to an lordinaiy man. Diana doesnt have to go about case (1 in a horsehai; poke to advertise her all-glorious chastity. The good parson need not be so “shocked” because some of our liad- ies choose to exemplify the modesty of the drawing room in contrast with the freedom of the bathing beach. Counting the vertebra in a wo- man’s back from the waist up may appeal to certain natures as an a- greeable or dutiful task, but mighty few real men indulge in. the pracâ€" tice. There is something more to womanhood than sex attraction. TWO BIG DAILIES UNITE The Detroit News has purchased The Detroit Journal and the latter paper was. issued Friday for the last time.
