Approximately one hundred delegates were present from the various schools---Ignace to Keewatin, inclusive. President, Miss M. E. Lucas, Principal of the Dryden Public School presided, calling the con- vention to order at 9 a.m. Rev. il. A. Rivers opened the proceed- ings by scripture reading and prayer. The President then called upon Mayor D. G. Dingwall, who, in a neat and pleasing speech welcomed the delegates to Dry- den. Mr M. F. Cook, representing the Dryden School Board, in witty speech welcomed the deleg- ates on behalf of the Board. At the conclusion of Mr Cook's remarks an amusing incident took place when Mr M. S, Campbell, on behalf of the remainder of the School Board presented Mr Cook with a basket of flowers decorated with tissue paper ribbon for the very efficient manner in which he had represented the Board on this occasion. While this item of the: program was altogether unknown to Mr Cook, he acknowledged the offering very appropriately--the whole incident creating much merriment. The convention is reported to have been very satisfactory in cvery respect. On Monday afternoon the dele- cates were taken for a car ride to tlagle River, in order that they might see some of the beauties of the farming country. Thirty or forty autos were provided for this purpose. On Monday evening an enter- tainment was held in the United Church, which consisted of vocal ton and violin solos by Mr K. S. LeBaron, also an address by Dr RK! G. Wallace, of the University of Manitoba. Mrs Hamilton and Mr Lebaron were in splendid form and were exceptionally received. Dr Wallace proved himself to be a most interesting and impressivz speaker, receiving a most attentive hearing throughout, and tremend- cus applause at the conclusion of his address. Mr M. S. Campbell officiated as chairman. At the conclusion of the enter- tainment in the Church, a further entertainment was provided in the Public School,where a splendid "Jance was carried on from 10 p.m., until 2 aan. The music was pro- vided by the Freshmen Orchestra, which was up to its usual state of proficiency, and much favour- ible comment was heard f_. the visitors on this point. A splendid lunch was served to the hundreds who thronged the building by the School Committee of the Women's Institute. This was handled in the usual thorough and efficient manner, that through past experience we have learned to expect of any affair with which the Institute has to do. The delegates, on arriving in Dryden on Sunday afternoon were met by the teaching staff of the Dryden Public School, also the School Committee of the Institute and were billited in the various homes. The Delegates left for home on the afternoon of Tuesday 12th, and were scen away by a large gathering of Dryden citizens. The C.P.R. providing special equip- ment for their convenience. All delegates were outspoken in praise on the wonderful arrangements provided for them and what they termed the ROYAL reception throughout their stay. Much credit is due Principal lucas and the Institute for the efficient and satisfactory handling the delegates in their homes, and to those who so generously pro- vided cars for the Auto trip. The following officers were elected for the coming year: President--T. C. Keenan. Vice-President--Miss H. Hassard, of Dryden. Sec.-Treasurer--G. Brimble, Kenora. Executive--Miss O.

On Friday last, a farewell surprise party for Miss Florence Tustain, who leaves shortly for Winnipeg to take a business course, was given at the home of Mrs M. D. Hambly by her friends. Part of the evening's entertainment was supplied by little Ross Hambly, who demonstrated to the girls his version of the Charleston. Miss Ella Russell presented Miss Tustain with a hat box from the girls and Miss Val- eries Ray read the following touching piece of poetry, written by a local poet whose name at present is unknown: So you've made up your mind to the city to go, It is needless to say that we'll miss you dear Flo. But we sure want to tell you the roads there are rough And as poor country girls say "Just watch your step Fluff." trunk we'd have chose, But it's really no good now, we wear little clothes; 'We are going to surprise you, play cute like the fox, And you're going to accept this pretty hat box.
