contributed by howard p oram toronto july 2nd 3rd and fo 1896 were stir ring days around georgetown high school wtaen quite a large group of youngsters from he upper p of haltcn county were trying tnelr bo- trance examination either as an en trance qualification to high school or a culmination of their public school reers yes that was exactly fifty years ago and fifty years is a tone time just- prior to thai m- tact in the month of june 1606 there was a dominion election and wilfred laur- ier later sir wilfred was chosen as the premier the leader of the llberat party and heremained premier for a period of 15 years i was one of those youngsters somewhat timid i remern- berf but fortunately i kept my head and when the results were published about the 15th of the month i- well remember how glad i was that my public school career was crowned with an entrance certificate i felt that i was really somebody i mr t t moore was the elntrahce teacher at acton mi- t r earngey at georgetown mr r n shortill at inter val mr t norton at glen williams and among other teachers in the coun try school was mr w w hutz who later became mayor of the city of tor onto and whose picture hangs in the corridors of the city hall there the successful pupils at georgetown school were ethel aldous warner day- foot will glass josie hutchinson george longford will lltster nina miller turvule morrow john reld will reld mabel roy and bthel som- merville i well remember every one of them because i was one of the for tunate ones who had the privilege ol attending high school and every one of those who passed from georgetown also attended too well things have changed a great deal in that time and not a few of the changes are in the school system entrance examinations had to be writ ten and sometimes if a student failed in one or two subjects by a very small margin he was recommended and got his certificate just the same as the others mr shortill at nerval sent me up for the examination was a most excellent teacher i attribute my good grounding in public school work to him particularly in grammar his teaching of grammar as of every other subject was most thorough and i have always been grateful to bint for the thorough knowledge of the parte of speech which here been helpful all my life i saw a copy of a newspa per editorial recently to tfae ef fect chat the subject of grammar in both public and high school teaching was being neglected and i was inclined to agree with their view point i have discovered that every group of words that begins with a capital and ends with a period is not necessarily a sen tence and 1 donx know how often i have come across just such a group of words intended for a sentence mr gibbard was the principal georgetown and he was the entrance examiner along with mr j 8 deacon the public school inspector he heard lthe reading examinations in groups in the hall alongside what was at that time the first form how anxious were as to the passage required and we kept asking those who had already read but he changed the passage occasionally so that we were not sure one of the changes that has taken place in educational circles is the fact that at one time the school term ran to the end of june and all the depart ment examinations were held in july now i- believe most of them are held in june and for some of the examina tions the term marks are taken and a certificate is issued if satisfactory also for a great many years if one wrote on a departmental examination and tailed on one subject he had to repeat the entire year and write every sub ject over again that made every ex amination a nerve wracking time for the average conscientious student mas for myself i think that what learned at public school has remained with me exceptionally well i still re member the number of pounds in t bushel in every kind of grain and i havent seen the table since i left school the pupils at our public school of fifty years ago got what i consider an excellent education and x look back with a great deal of pleasure and sat isfaction to hose days when we may not have had all the frills and fancies or today but we got a thorough prac tical education
