The pdst week has indeed been a busy oge at the K.C.I. The annual Christmas examinations, the terror of every pupil and the delight of each taskmaster, have been in full swing Every leisure moment of the students has been takem up with feverigh grinding on weak subjects, and in preparing for the test papers which were just &head. Thus, it has been almost impossible for the pupils to take their minds off their work for a sufficient period of time to devote a little thought to their school col- umn in the School British Whig. Bu, we are thankful to say, the'exami- nations are once again over for an- other few months, and we can let With their pretty gifts from loved | ---- our minds rest on other things. The Collegiate intends to g've of the best of its literary talént for the school page for the rest of the school ses- sion, and the students will endeavor td Keep its many readers interested in what is going on at the big school on Earl streef.--Contributed. The Holidays. The Kingston schools are now clos- ed for the Christmas holidays, and will remain closed until January 6th. The ohildren were set free on Friday after various forms of clos- ing exercises in keeping with the festive season. Reports of the clos- ing of the various schools will ng doubt be written by the scholars for their school news, and they should make very interesting reading. For the period of the holidays, your school editor will have to depend up- on the loyalty of 'the school children to keep the School British Whig up to its usual. The teachers and prin- cipals, who have so far lent splendid assistance, cannot come around to collect your stories, poems and ar- ticles, so it will be necessary for you to bring them to the Whig Office yourselves. Write out your stories and articles, address them to the School Editor, and leave them at the business office of the Whig, so that they will appear as usual in your own particular school section. The Season's Grettings to Our Read- ors. In this splendid issue of the Whig, he annual Christmas Edition, the school Editor wishes to take this op- portunity of extending the season's heariest greetings to every reader of {the School British Whig. Our little newspaper exclusively for and by the school children of Kingston, is yet & youngster. Although only six weeks old, it is a very healthy infant, and has been made so by the efforts of the pupils in the various city schools of both denominations to make it in- teresting, bright and original. The editor wishes to thank all the child~ ren who have contributed to its pages. It has been a great pleasiire to edit the stories, news items, poems and other contributions sent in by the children. The work has done much to brighten the dreary hours when other things have threatened to make life burdensome, and look- ing. after the stories sent in by the children has helped to create a bond of union between the school editor and his thousands of youthful read- ers which has. helped to make life brighter and more cheerful. To the principals and teachers, who have also rendered valudble assistance in keeping un § the School British Whig, we extend bur heartiest thanks and the very heartiest of the season's greetings. At this ival of Christmas, the oldest and most honored of all the seasons of the year, our hearts go ont to each other in the fervent wish that the season may be a happy ons, that it may be unspotted by anything which might depress or make sad any child in our'eity, or any child all the world over. 'We expect Christmas, to be a happy time, and we would feel disappointed if it were not. But let us for a momeat think Christmas Joy COMES WITH Exquisite Gifts : Ar We invite your attention to our Christmas stock , because we know it has been chosen with rare discrimination. - GLOVES --Dent's in Suedes, Tan and Mochas --$2.50, $3.00, $3.60.
