Unfortunately Mr. Steien- son who is at present ill in the Oshawa Hospital was unable to Mr. A. E. O'Neill, who made the presentation declared that although the Federation was honouring Mr. Stevenson they could never compensate him for the honour which he had reflect- ed on the teaching profession. He was more than a teacher, When he left the University he carried his studies with him. Not only was he outstanding in his knowl. edge of science and mathematics but he was widely read in other departments of knowledge as well. During many years of suc cz2ssful teaching he had bulit up a reputation for conscientious and unselfish devotion to his pro- fession and had endeared him- self to the hearts of all those who had the good fortune to pass through his classes. It was characteristic of the man that he should be hesitant about receiving this honour at the hands of the Federation. He did not feel that he had heen suf- ficlently active in the Federa- tion's. work to justify his being singled out for its favours but the Federation recognized that by his long devoted service to education he had raised the sta- tus of the profession in the eves of the public and he who had done that was worthy of any honour a teachers' federation could bestow.

Under these conditions the Re- lief Administrator was unwilling { will. be asked for, When Child Had Money in Bank to authorize shoes to be issued to this child without further au- thority, and the case was refer- red to the Mayor, The opinion of the Mayor, to- gether with that of other mem- bers of the Public Welfare Board with whom he discussed the matter, was that if any child had money on deposit in any bank, then it was mot the duty of the Public Welfare Board or the civie authorities to Issue them with necessaries which could be purchased by the child hersel!.
