The Barrie Collegiatc: was not only a higrh school, but a junior university, and they had the largest upper school of any Collegiate in the Province. The ideal for the school was not only that every boy and girl might ad-' Vance as fast as possible, but that they might grow into better citizens, that they might be clean, clear-cut citizens, able to take their place in i the world, and get real pleasure out 2 of whatever work they may take up.

He had tried to do his duty, and the Board and teachers had co-ope-ratevl '.'.'ith him at all times. He had noted that Mr. Gird- wood s pupils had always taken a high standing`.

In placing his resignation before the Board, Mr. Reburn said that it was with real regret he would sever his connection. He looked back with pleasure on the four years he had served. When elected chairman a year ago he had asked for certain specic tliings in connection with the work, and he felt that there had been a splendid response. The best of feeling had prevailed, and the various committees had worked har- moniously. The problem of the heating of the West Ward school had been considered and everythin_(: was ready for the new Board to proceed. The Central school had also received attention and the school was now in better condition. The success attained during: the year was not altogetliei` due to the Board. The Inspector and the prin- cipals of the schools had worked in harmon_v with the Board to the end that the best interests of children. and citizens mi_;-`ht be served. "he" `press had` contril>uted' in no small measure also and the chairmzin wi<`n- ed to extend his thanks.
