Successful and enterpris ing business men were communicated with and opinions sought and recelys ed, After gathering all the necessary data the board made its plans, Gene erous encouragement was forthcoms ing from the Department of Fduea- tion and the department provided a liberal share of the funds necessary, Today you see in this fine new build. ing, well equipped an it I» In every particular, the results of these de» liberations," Mr, Bell trusted that as many as possible would take advantage of the opportunity to inspect the new addi. tion, . "On behalf of the board and the vocational advisory committee 1 bid you welcome to this school," he cons cluded, "It Is your school and we trust and firmly believe that it will fill a long felt want in this communis ty and district," The Invocation Chairman Bell regretted that on ae count of iliness, Rev, B, I, Cosgrave, provost of Trinity College, Toronto, who was to have performed the in. vocation had been prevented from ate tending. Rev. A. M. Irwin, pastor of Northminister United Church, had, he stated, graciously consented to take Rev, Cosgrave's place, Although he had A little oppor tunity to prepare, Rev, As M, Irwin, pronounced a beautiful invocation prayer in which he sought Divine blessing for the new collegiate and vocational institute, "Wea have been favored and hon. ored," stated Chairman Bell in intros ducing Sir Joseph Flavelle, "in havs ing with us today a gentleman who is a very busy man but is widely known for his willingness to help and for his many philanthropic acts, I refer to Sie Joseph Flavelle, who is chairman of the Ontario Research Foundation, chairman of the board of directors of the Bank of Commerce, and occupies many. other places ol trust and honor," Sir Joseph Flavelle Although admitting that he is now over the age of three score years and ten, Sir Joseph evidently possess. es great vigor of mind and body and a youthful spirit which is indeed re- freshing, "My first duty," said this eminent Canadian, "is to formally open the school and I now declare this instis tution open to be used for the pur- poses for which it was constructed."

Place of Teachers "May 1 venture to ask you what place has the teacher of your chil dren in your thoughts, recognition, and encouragement in your homes,' Sir Joseph continued, "Have we, of the citizens body, done our duty in taking from the shoulders of faith. ful teachers and Investigators the un. due pressure of financial worry? Have we recognized the legitimate claims of thelr tYamily life, and the uncertainties of old age? Have we men of affairs sufficiently understood the loss to Canada in the emigration of brilliant graduates from our Uni~ versitles, who cannot fairly be ex. pected to resist the temptation of an assured position in a foreign country ut a salary which indicates a fair appreciation of years spent and cost borne in fiting themselves for sciens tific life "I was present at the Dedicatory Service amocinted with the fokmal opening and the acceptance by the Governor of the State of California, of the newly constructed buildings for the. University of California, at Los Angeles," Sir Joseph said. "In the great arch over the platform in the hall in which the ceremonies were held, there was inscribed ; "Education is learning to use the tools which the race has found indis pensable." "Last week a distinguished Cana. dian died in Montreal, A newspaper editor, expressing appreciation of his life wréte: "A modesty that never recognized its intellectual power; a simplicity that forbade insistence upon the place won over and over again before the Canadian Bar, before the highest Court of the Empire, and in interna. tional legal circles; a physical cours age that dominated live-long consti- tutional delicacy ; an integrity of pro fessional rectitude which fought the poorest client's case with the same intensive care that was given to the cases of glittering prestige; a gentle courtesy that made him sought out by the 'beginners in the profession, sure of their welcome. It was the fragrance of a life well and gently spent, whether in his family rela. tions, or his interest in University progress, as a lover of good books, as a familiar climber of mountains, Every lawyer in Canada has lost a friend, Every force for intellectual good has lost a supporter, in the death of Eu gene Lafleur, and Canada has lost a son whose record confers upon her distinction rarely come: by." Spivit of Education "He caught the spirit that Educa. tion is learing to use the tools which the race has found indespensable, "Someone, commenting upen these Shivitunl qualities in industry, has said; "In every quality article 'made, whether it is of metal or mineral, whether of leather, cloth, or paper, there is an unseen ingredient, a cons tent which the chemist cannot show in his analysis~the state of minds the ideals of the one responsible for its existence=-and upon this factor, more than upon the physical materi. als entering into it, depends satisfac tion to the ultimate user," "Learnings Who shall learn?" the speaker queried, "The Children' "Young men and maidens, "Men and women charged with the affairs of life, "Learning to use the tools which the race has found indiaptinible. Struggles Worth While "We, who are older, particularly those of us who have grown up in struggle and effort, sometimes fore ot that our children must learn the essons whigh were forced upon us by the stress of circumstances; ins deed, wa sometimes give thanks: that our children should be delivered from the struggles we had, unconscious of played so igiportant a part in making us have a truer conception of val ues." "We may, on reflection, Sir Jos: eph continued, "come to believe that tou little congideration is given to the truth that every new baby born has to learn 'for himsoll or herself! the lessons of life. Parhaps, on furs ther reflection, we may realize that because we have learned through somewhat hard experience, it does not follow that it will be unnecessary for our children to learn the same ison There is no deliverance in the human family from individual choices and decisions which deter ming character." king for Standards 'Where shall we and they find our standards, and where discover guid. ance in our teaching snd our learns ings," he asked, "Do you recall the noble passage in one of the minor Prophets=--"He hath showed thee, O mun, what is good?

On thse two command. ments han gall the law and the Pro- phets." "One of the learners of those days," Sir Joseph stated, "caught the vi- sion and understood the spirit of this teaching, He interpreted it in af- fairs with his fellows, Love suffer eth long and is kind; Love envieth not; Love vaunteth not itself and is not puffed up; does not behave it self unseemly; seeketh not her own; is not easily provoked; thinketh no evil" Human Relationships "Is this & conception of human re lationships, of which red-blooded men would tell their boys it is impossible? Is it too much to believe hoys and girls In the full tide of life, men and women charged with affairs, will uncover in the presence of those who seek to live hy these standards?

Surely not through a sense of superior virtue but rather over these many years, { have foarned that all human activities mcluding Industry, Agriculture, Com merce, and Finance, are built, not only upon hard work, the support of capital, the aggressive zeal of the practical man, but they get life and sustenance from roots which are bur. ied in the things of the spirit, "I'he principles, the thought, andd ideas which today are born of the spirit, bring to mankind an unex. pected harvest in more employment, increased comfort, greater harmony, and may we not hope, a better world, ""Whatsoever things are true; what» soever things are honest; whatsoever things are Just; whatsoever things are pure; whatsoever things are love ly ; whatsoever things are of good re- port; if there be any virtue; ir there be any praise; think upon these things," A.
