During the ten years of official duty in South Grey, Mr. Pentland has tak- en a very personal Interest In the boys and girls throughout his Inspectorate.

It remains merely for the rural ratepayers to take advantage of the munificent offers of assistance given by the Department of Education In saying good-bye, my chief mes- sage is. of course, to the boys and girls. It is clear that in a few short years you will be called upon to as- sume life's responsibilities as the men and women' of the times, and in order to fulfil your duties to society and to the world at large, you must be well educated, have a clear mind and be idealists of the highest type. In ad- dition to this you must have a clear realization of the rights of all with whom you come in contact. Just where I shall be in the future Is more or less uncertain but I trust our mutual regard will always be maintained. At my .time of life I shall not change much in appearance, but you boys and girls will quickly grow up to manhood and womanhood, and hence when we meet I may not know you. But wherever you see me, whether on land or sea, be sure you come and tell me who you are and it wUl be pleasant to have a little chat over old times. The new inspector for South Grey, who will take charge at once, is Mr. William G. Rae, B.A., a young man who wUl be glad to be of assistance hi any way, and who will be popular with boys and gh'ls, with teachers and with the public in general. Again wishing you all success in the years to come, I am Very sincerely, Geo. E. Pentland. Mr. Geo. E. Pentland, a familiar friend to many boys and girls in South Grey as well as older people will retire from active life the end of this month when Mr. William G. Rae wUl assume Inspectorial dtitles.
