In` the rst and second year it counts on the Public School teach- ing course and in the Middle sc ool replaces physics and chem- istry for either matriculation or Normal School entrance. A rare trophy of the hunt in the nonth country, so many of which are passing through Barrie these days, is a big 3'55-pound black bear hanging in Heppleston s but- ncher shop. Yesterday and today it has been the cynosure of all eyes and is viewed by the youngsters with expressions of awe. `If 1" ( O Neil Is Asking For A New Trial Outside of Qgunty 350-POUND BEAR IS BROUGHT DOWN BY A'REiE' 1~?1iaii6b nu puazscu.
