Editor,-- I take this opportunity to thank the electors of the Colborne School Section for the honor they have conferred on me in electing me to posit-the School Board. My nomas almost as great a surprise _____is to the electors at large. To a large part of the community I still a comparative stranger and the support quently much more generous than I ever anticipated. This can only be accounted for, by assuming that tbe leading electors of the town have given to my support a goodly share of their influence as well as their support at the poles. WhUe I feel very grateful indeed for the very general support I received I must acknowledge the honor conferred on me, in the almost unanimous support I received in the East Ward. I shall prize, highly, the confidence of my neighbours, who knowing me, have dealt so generously in this respect. In return for this support and confidence, as one who is very deeply concerned in the welfare of the school I will try to give my very best thought as well as my time to further the interest of the school without the least partiality to creed or faction. Again I thank you. Sincerely yours, D. R. CLARK
