He would like to again remind them that the school, although it might be termed a pet scheme of the Board, was after all but a part of a far greater plan. Always m home and all that sacred implies, she is extending her activities in many directions, always preserv- ing the attitude that such other irterests are of importance only as they enhance the. sanctity of the. home life. "== In the mission to brighten the lives of those with whom they are seek teachers from the older sce- tion of the province. But the time is come when competent teachers should be trained here, from among the boys and girls growing up around them. It was the endeavour of Dryden School Board to continue their efforts until pupils could go through all the stages necessary to become teachers within the Town of Dry- den, until we were in a position to supply teachers if necessary to the whole district. / M. F. Cook, of the Department of Agriculture, told of the work of ness and value of all lives in the community, no better gaedium for combined effort has yet been de- deriominational, this organization concerted action that is« quietly yet persistently accomplishing a work that touches the gell-being of everyone, whether of no are aware of it. ; In line with their ay pose of "Home and Cou Dryden branch of the last Friday night, arrange ception for the school ucation for good citizenship of the rising generation. With unsmil- itute, {ing humour he put forward the claim that his department had not i fwaited for any formal occasion to welcome the teachers, but had spontaneously done its best to be friendly on all occasions when a lonely teacher.presented an oppor- tunity, and he was always more than willing to embrace the said opportunity. He gave a concise Mill Hall, in which opportunity was given for parents and teach- ~:5.to become acquainted, to their e children to the scare of whom both are school fairs, of which twelve had chers, and to t Te em. the last month. Yeat by year the exhibits improved in quality, and the interest of 'both children and their parents had grown. While the prizes and awards at the var- ious fairs had given great satis- faction, he planned next year havea Grand Championship Co test at the file Dryden Exhibiti where the winners from various schools could compete against each other over the whole district. H. M. Jackson, principal of the public school, expressed the pleas- ure of the staff at their reception by the Town. The work of a teacher is always made more en- couraging when supported by the sympathetic appreciation of the parents. underlying principles of educa- tional programs, and emphasized ¢ sm, the chairman, Mrs J. B. Beveridge, spoke as follows: "Ladies and gentlemen--= As President Nomen's Institute I have been asked to open this' evening's programme with a few remarks im connection with the work and aims of the unlimited field for activity, and the strongest impelling force of Institute is a general desire on the part of members to improve ing those opportunities through united action which cannot very well be accomplished or provided through individual effort. For example, this evening has been arranged by our school com- | mittee, whose duties are to wel-ythe importance of sticking to fun- damentals in the subjects taught. Rev. J. M. Beaton admitted a sense of great responsibility in adding his welcome to that of the previous speakers. They had al- ready been greeted by the school board, and the departmnt of agri- culture ; now, as the only minister present owing to the unfortunate absence of Mr Dixon on a mission to another town, to him had fallen the honour of bidding them wel- come in the name of the Church. While they were away from their own homes they would find the Christian Church and all that it stood for would be open to them at any time. And they would find, further, that every .good home in Town would be open to them, and while they stayed here they need never lack for the warmest of friendship. ; Mayor Pitt, in the name of the Town, was glad to express the kindliest of ~ sentiments towards the new staff. He had nothing but admiration for the motive of the Women's Institute and their idea of extending a welcome to the teachers; and since their avowed purpose was formally to extend an invitation to the teachers to visit their homes, he for his part could do no less. Teaching, he believed, was at times a trying profession, and there were days when everything seemed to go wrong, and one in- clined to become discouraged. But if at any time a teacher felt that any difficulty oppressed them that he could in any way alleviate, he would esteem it a privilege to be asked to do so. come the teachers, to aid them in securing comfortable homes, and by co-operation to assist them in every possible way to make their stay in our midst successful and helpful. With this in view the committee arranged this evening in the hope that they had taken another step toward their ultimate end, by in- troducing the teachers to the parents of the children. And we sincerely hope that the personal acquaintance will result in a real benefit to the children; for it is only by the combined effort of parents and teachers that our children will understand the ad- vantages to be derived from edu- cation. I am sure we all appreciate the work of the school and lunch committees in making these pre- parations. A programme has been In conclusion I would like, on to extend to the teachers of our schools a hearty welcome, and wish them every success in their work." Ok Kk To put the party at their ease and remove all feeling of restraint, some bright mind suggested musical chairs. And everybody joined in a twenty-minute period of hearty fun, to the accompani- ment of sparkling music by Miss Fern Taylor at the. piano. This was followed by a short address by Mr M. S. Campbell, chairman of the School Board. Mr Campbell referred first to the satisfactory progress being made : with the new school.

Community Hall, last Friday, was the scene of a delight- ful dance, to which music was supplied by the "Good Time" or- chestra. = A great number made the trip from Dryden, but owing to the short notice Oxdriit was not so well represented. There is no doubt that the pop- ularity of this orchestra is grow- ing as it becomes better known. Miss Fern Taylor, always popular at the piano, is better than ever, after playing all summer at Sioux Lookout, and she has brought back with her the finest collection of dance music you ever heard. Nhen the orchestra gets settled down to steady playing this music will prove a sensation; and we predict that the fox-trot "I've got my Habits on" will be the biggest hit ever. Ask her to put it on at" the next dance. Or maybe the (Hawaiian Nightingale" (waltz) would please you better. The square dances, too, were a feature, and little wonder, with Bob MTavish to call off. A voice like Bob's is more than a talent; it's a gift. When he is on the job the dance just goes like clock- work. Durance Bros. and Dick Trist are making special rates while the good weather lasts for those who want to go to the dances.
