The exhibition of the work of the art class attracted a good deal of attention. This included outdoor sketches, studies of interiors, still life and studies of snimals. | There was dancing on the lawn before 'tea, a hornpipe by the Juniors and a Seotch eel by the seniors, also some very graceful exercises arranged for the class by Miss Lawson, After tea in the grounds there was an interesting sports program, the prizes for the different events being presented by Mrs, Stewart. Mr, Leeds acted as starter and judge. Miss Elgood, the principal, in her address, reviewed the work of the year. After ack: jnowledging a number of donations to the jtchool museum and library, she went on to aay: "The most important event in the school ince last June is the presentation of a {University Scholarship. This Scholarship lis of the same value as the Wellington [Scholarship and provides for 4 yeara tui- jtion at the University of Toronto. We |have again to thank our very good friends, Mr. and Mra. Rees, for this, one of the best gifts any school can receive Rhoda Bird Inst wrote her Honour Scholarship Examination and obtained First ;Clasx Honours in French, Latin, English |Literature and Composition and 2nd Honourt in History and German |thus qualified for a University Scholarshi but did not come quite high enough oi |the list. Professor Macklem of 'College wrote her a very kind letter con- |gratulating her on her standing and fa he hoped she would come up to the Uni- versity. We were particularly pleased to jbe able to prevent Mr. and Mrs. Ree: 'cholurship to Rhoda. Rhoda hax xcellent year's work at University first 12 girls of her year. were placed in Clase 1 year's work has been up to a good Istundard. We endeavour to get the maxi mum of work with the minimum of fat igue. I do not mean that the work is done without effort, but we try to elim. inate much that is detrimental to a suc. cessful school career. We guard against the physical fatigue involved in tao long sehoo! hours realising that 34% hours of real in: tellectual effort ix worth more than twice the amount when the brain is tired and the attention flags, There is a double danger here, hecause bod habite are easily acquired and the bad habit of sitting in a school desk idly dreaming is often acquired in the first instance by the inability of a tired child to attend any longer to what is being said We do not allow our pupils to sit too long 8 time. Between every. lesson the girls and boys have physical exercises |During the whole of this last winter these were out on the verandah, Short hours of study, plenty of fresh air and constant change of position--sll this helps to keep the children physically fit. Added to this we avoid the strain entailed by the system of giving prizes for the work of the school year, Here again in addition to the strain, there is great moral prin- ciple involved, All will agree as to the value of organized school games "the Buttle lof Waterloo was won on the playing field of Eton,"' It is 9 recognized truth that the ideas ineuleated in school are the most en. during of all. It follows that if children Jare taught to work for prizes and. thur set up a false standard of conduct, the result is likely to affect their whole 'after career; one occasionally hears of people, men as well as women, who resign from & position, in which they are doing good work because their work is not properly ap- preciated. We also try to get rid of the iden of competition ax the reaton for doing good work. Some of you will say, What ean be done without, it? If, as Bacon pute it, a man or woman loves excellency he is going to do good or better work than the man who loves excelling. Some people have the iden that it is competition that jgives good results in manufactures. The cloth merchants of Flanders in the middle ages had no competitors but they loved excellence. The English farmers had no competition in the trade in raw wool but the English wool was excellent. This is true of all the trade corporations of the old days and if it is not true of the trading firms*of to-day it is something to be de- plored and if possible altered. 'There is ne you Know a talk of reviving the old system of Guilds in England as a means of sol- ving the present problems of unrest. At Ovenden-we do not believe that the spirit of competition has helped our girls to do sell as they have done. We hope if their inborn love of excellence.

This wreck occurred out in the first concession of Tos- sorontio on Harvey Alderson's farm, Mr. Alderson says the storm was at ite height between ten and eleven o'clock und though they heard no noise above the howling of wind in the house, which ix not more than 8 couple of hundred yards from the dam- aged barn, he is quite certain it was then that the wreck occurred, While the storm was raging the inmates of the house were too busy holding the door against the wind, which threatengd at every blast to burat Jit in, and watching the windows which were being pounded with bail, to take much thought of what was going on outaide, |After the storm had abated and nature had |come out of her angry mood, Mr. Alderson jheard the stock in the growing grain and [looking out saw the ground littered with {building debris, It was then thet he dis- covered what had befallen his barn.

Me- Kim, Limited, Advertising Agency, of Mont- real, Toronto, Winnipeg and London, Eng- Jand, indicates great activity in the pub- lishing field during the past year, While the number off daily papers published in 1918 dimished from 135 to 126, due mainly to thé effect of the high cost of newsprint, the total number of Canadian publications increased from 1420 to 1552. Altogether, the situation warrants optimism of the soundest nature, reflecting, as it does, the healthy condition prevailing generally from Eust to West of the Dominion. Whoever amines the pages of MeKim's Directory ith the care they deserve cannot fail to be pressed with the greut labour involved in gleaning so many thousands of items of information, Not only is the entire field of Canadian publications covered, but the Directory is a complete gazetteer of every town and city in Canada and New- foundland where a publication is issued.
