I am sure that what 1 am saying in this letter, thousands of others are saying or thinking in all corners I of the world, as their minds go back over the years to the little old school on the hill. May I ask you to convey to Mr. Stone the assurance of my deep and abiding gratitude to him and my best wishes for many years 3 of happiness, health and continued usefulness--years which I : 2 know will be none the less pleasant for the assurance, which Ido now give him that thousands of his former pupils are saying, and will contintie to say--'"Thank" God that George Stone lived and came unto my life.

Dear Sir: Since our telephone conversation of a day or two ago I have been wondering whether I could not possibly manage to get down to the diner and after-meeting in Mr. Stone's horour, to which you Kindly invited me. It will, T am sure; be a very interesting ocasion, at which many of the Old Boys and Girls who oew a deep debt of geffitude and affection to the Port Perry High Schol, and to Mr. Stone in particular, will doubtless be present. With the single exception, I think, of Mr. McBride, so long the honoured Principal, no member of the staff in the whole history of the school has given so many years of splendid service as has the Master who is now retiring. The Board of Education is Bonouting itself nosléss than Mr. Stone in its discriminating recognition of his valuable services to the school and the town. I wish very much that I eould be one of those present on Friday evening, but it will scarcely be possible, I fear; at any rate, so far as the dinner is concerned. I have not quite given up the hope of being able to slip down for the after-meetng, however.Meantime, I am writing just to thank you for your courtesy in ringing me up, and to send my best wishes for the success of both functions. I hope that the Gentleman in whose honour they are being held will enjoy many years'of "slippered ease" with ample time for the companionship of friends and books and nature, and with the happy consciousness of a well:spent past and a well-earned leisure for the years to come. Very sincerely yours, Nellie Spence Dominion Observatory, Ottawa, May 12th, 1924 Chairman of Board of Education, Port Perry, Ont. s Dear Mr. Farmer--I wish to thank you for your kind letter and the in-| ° vitation of the Board of Education to attend the dinner to be given in honour of Mr. Stone. I have delayed writing in the hope that I could send a reply of acceptance, but I régret very much I shall be unable to attend. Recollections of my high-school days at Port Perry are so vivid that I can hardly realize that since then, twenty-five years have been added to Mr. Stone's record as a teacher. It will be very difficult for me to think of Port Perry High School without Mr. Stone but I trust we sl long" Have him | with us. I often think of the Old School and its good healthy spirit, and stiialasty do I recall many happy hours with Mr. Stone as an ideal teacher, who | deliberately left the pupils to puzzle out things for themselves and then smoothed out their difficulties by lucid explanation and illuminating side- lights--quadratic - equations, . the squares on the sides of a right-angle triangle, the properties of the electromagnet--all line up in clear array | from the indelible imprints of a quarter of a century ago. 6th; and I send a owest My thoughts will be with you all on the evening of } my best wishes and heartiest congratulations to the for bis splendid sosetd of Srey years, Faithtaly sour, Ralph E.
