By the way, a few days ago I heard a compliment paid inci- dentally to the Canadian Schools. I was talking with a teacher (a married woman of unusual intelli gence and of very high attainments in Ler vocation) about the necessity of thoroughness, and she remarked, "Ah! I know you are very thorough in Canada, for whenever Canadians settle here and their children come to my school, I always find them much better drilled in the rudi- ments than "the youngsters out here." Upon pointing out to her that she could have no téison to speak ini tHiS wdy of the schools in the United States, as she herself had evidently been instructed very catefally, she said, "Yes but I am indebted for it, not to the American Schools where L'was educated, but | °F © if ed the instruction given me atéhome t|by my parents; and they came] from Scotland."

After a very sumptuous dinner bad been enjoyed in the di room which was tastefully decorat- ed for the occasion, the company gathered in the partor, and the old hymn, Glory to God in the Highest, was sung in a very hearty manner. -| The following address was then read :-- i To Mr. AND Mrs. Tsos, Tunes, Dear {Frients--We, ;the friends assembiéd Bere, take this opportun- ity of ¢xfending to you our warmest greetings ang heartiest congratula- face of a cliff before us; and this,| we were told, led to other cascades, gifts and the unexpected spprecia- tion, and invited them to "come whenever they could and enjoy themselves in their home. > 'parting the prin unitedly sang, PBlent: be the Tie that Binds."
