He thinks, also, that the members of the junior Brotherhood of St. Andrew would make first-rate seek- ers out of absent. boys. Touching on "Teacher Training," Mr. Hiltz enquired, "How many here consider themselves perfect teachers!" There was a general smile, A further question, "Now how many would like to become better teachers than they are ?'! brought a great show of hands and the secretary turning to Dean Bidwell, who was chairman, said : "Well, Mr. Dean, 1 don't know who these teachers belong to, but it's up to their clergyman whoever he is, to give them the chance to improve." Later Rev. T.
