Mari Honored by Teachers On 20 Years" Service In honor of bis 2Oth anniversary as Public School inspectai for Northumberland County, A. A. Martin, native of Clarke Town- ship and a graduate of Bowman- ville High School, was the guest of 125 of bis former and present teachers at a banquet in St. And- rew 's Presbyterian Church, Campbellford, Wednesday night, June 8. Following an address read by Charles Haig, principal of Camp- belîford Public School, Miss Irene Nelson of Colborne presented the inspector with a gold watcb and chain. Replying, Mr. Martin eulo. gized the teachers for their splen- did work and said that he apprec- iated their loyal support. Brief addresses were given by. W. Carlton, Public Schcool in- spector for Hamilton Township and Durham County; Mrs. W. Montgomery, Fenella; and R. D. Frise, principal of Brighton Pub.. lic tichool. Representing the Department af Education, Col. S. A. Watson, BA, assistant supervisor ini oie- mcntary oducation, said that "It bas taken 20 years of insight, sympathy and knowledge," ho stated. "ta bave this outpouring of good feeling as we are witncss- ing bore." He said that music had grown under the supervision of Mr. Mar- tin and that the rural child's lot had been made botter by the higb school bus beîng brought to bis door English Words Have Different Meanings The English gave us the com- mon language we use in this land of ours, but, meaning no offence ta Shakespeare, Shaw and other British masters of the mother tongue, we declare it really took the Americans ta set the world a-spinning. Witness the manifold ways in which we put onc single littie word to work is the com- ment of the Wall Street Journal. Take the word "f ast" for in- stance. We can really work it! Witness: "He seemned ta be a fast friend but ho turned out ta be a fast worker looking for a fast dol- lar, insinuating himnself into the bouse so he could steal. Caught in the act, he bound bis fricnd fast to a chair and took al bis money. The poor penniless victim mnay be in for a terrible fast." Again. take the word "boit". Give a listen. "'His stock was short a boit of cloth. It was not bis habit ta hoît the door, but ta boit bis lunch and burry back before an- other clerk couid grab something and boit away with it." Now, ahi this might sound quite simple ta an American, but wbat doos it mean ta a foreigner who does not understan.d the many- sided nature of an American, Eng- lish word? What, for instance, would he get out of this: "My brother, a bull in a china shop if ever there was one, tries ta bull bis way out of eveiything. But he was caught in the bull market, and now is reduced ta a plain haîness bull on the police force?" And bow would ho roact ta, "Ho was a flat failure as a singer, living a flat, prafitiess existence, singing fiat notes in a cold-water fiat"?
