EBBNHL AND WILL PAY OF TAILOR, LITTLE BRITAIN Peterborough. Assembly Hall, that scene of so many Pleasant events, had another added to its number on Friday afternoon. At 3 o’clock the staff, students, and Board of Educa- tion met to say “Farewell” to Miss Hillook, whose recent appointment to a position on the stafl‘ of the J anieson Ave. Collegiate Institute, 'l‘oronto, has led to her removal from this town. The Board of Education was represented bv Pres. T. Stewart and Messrs. McLaugh- lin, Staples, McWatters and Kylie. These were on the platform with the staff. Principal Haratone said: On behalf of the staff I should like to make a. few re- marks in addition towhat will be said in the students’ address. Miss Hillock has been a. teacher here for seven-and-a-half Kind Words and 3. Presentation on Miss Hillock’s Departure years. When I learned, a few weeks ago, that she was an applicant for the position in Toronto I sent a stronz recommendation to the principal and for use before the board. Although it was strong, every word of it was merited by Miss Hillock’s work. When I learned a week ago that she had been successful, no one was more glad that Iâ€"in one respect. While sorry to lose her I was glad she secured the posi' tion and for two reasons. One was an un- selfish reason; the other a selfish one. I SAYING GOOD-BYE TO A POPULAR TEACHER was glad in the first place because Miss Hillock was going to a better position than this. Toronto is her home; it is moreover the centre of the educational interests of the province and in it Miss'Hillock will have a wider scope for the ability she pos- sesses and will be able to take advantage of the literary and other advantages that such a city can afford. The second and selfish reason for being glad that Miss Hillock is leaving us is that her promotion to a higher position will bring some credit to this institution. As I have often said to you in class so I now tell you that we are all bound together. A discreditable action by one boy or girl of this school, in some measure elf-sets us all, and the ad- vancement of one redounds to the credit of all. The fame of one is the fame of all. So the staff of this Institute is honored by Miss Hilloek’s success. Ex-masters of this school, by enthusiasm for their work, bright scholarship, and success with their pupils are now in some of the leading uni- versities of the continent and hold good positions in the Old World. We rejoice at Miss Hilloek's advancement and have bright hcpes for her future. We shall miss her. The pupils, in and out of classes, have been made truer gen- tlemen and ladies by her influence, while her relations with the staff have a constant pleasure to us. She has our best wishes. THE STUDEsz’ ADDRESS. Mr. Way read the students’ address and Miss Edith Flavelle made the presentat ior. The latter consisted of a fine set of Park- man in 12 volumes, and the for- man in 125 vmumes, 8.1m but mer read as follows : Dear Miss Hilloek,-â€"This assembly of pupils and teachers of the Lindsey Collegiate Institute has been convened with many feelings of mingled regret and pride. As we stand here to-day we are conscious that a great loss is about to come upon us in the departure of one whose presence, Whose example, as well as Whose teaching can only be described as uplifting and inspiring. This thought brings sadneas to us and causes us to feel keenly the clmngeful- ness of human ties. We look back over the years you have been in this school and remember with gratitude your many kindnesses. both in and out of the class. Your interest in the various phasEs of the school‘s work has been stimulating to us and our lives have been broadened by your breadth of view. The firmness with which you have kept; us at our work has been a valuable discipline to us that: we cannot; regret. In losing you we know we are lcsinz a true and tried teacher of Iofbv impulses, fine ideals. and of high character. J. C. HARSTONE, Principal, F. A. JACKSON, “2 C. WAY, S. C. MACKENZIE. Miss Hillock replied briefly. She said : It is Impossible for me to thank you as I would likewto and ought to, for this beau- And yet we cannot help a feeling of pride 10-day. The Lindsay Collegiate Institute has sent its students to all our universities to Win golden honors there and subsequently distinction in foreign lands; she has sent too. her teachers to many higher fields. The University of Toronto and the Univer- sity of. Chicago hold her former teach- ers and sunny Spain also. Now we send to the foremost position held by a lady in the Collegiate Institutes of Ontario our teacher of Modern Lan- ghages and we bid her “God speed” knowing full well how thoroughly fitted she is to hold that position. \Ve ask you, Miss Hillock, that you will do us the kindness to accept this set of Parkman as a token from us of our esteem. Canadians are deeply in- terested in Canada's life-story, and as you read and enjoy the picLuresque tales of Francis Parkman, we trust the pleasure will be enhanced by the memories of the old school. 7 Begretfully we say good-bye and we hope that. every blessing and good thing of life may be yours in the future. Signed on behalf of the students, ex- students and staff, ful gift and these kind words. I shall prize these books very much, for I know their value, and your kindest of kind words will give me confidence and courage in the future. I am sorry to leave you. For seven years I have been very happy with you. Each year I have been increasingly so. I must thank the staff for their kindness, and the Board for releasing me at this time of the year that I may at once begin my duties in my new field. If there I shall be as happy as I have been here I shall be contented. I wish you all prosperity in your lives and shall always be glad to meet any of you in Toronto. my quota to the good things that have been said of her. For her own sake I am glad at her promotion. It would have been selfish of the Board and a bad example to the students of this Institute if we had put anything in Miss Hillock's way to her present success. I was on the Board before a lady teacher was on the staff. The Board felt that the young men and women who studied here could not get the best possible training without the influence of. a lady teacher- We have been gratified with the results; for we have been singularly fortunate in both Miss Marty and Miss Hillock. Chairman Stewartâ€"The Board is sorry to lose Miss Hillock but I am glad to add Pupils are not apt to think of their ad- vantages. While you have admired Miss Hillock and been much attached to her you may not have thought how fortunate you were in having one of the best if not the best teacher in her class in Ontario. (Applause) 1 shall be satisfied if we can come ever near filling Miss Hillock’s place. Our best Wishes go with her. She never gave us an anxious moment for we felt that she always gave us her best and that. her best was of the highest; order. (Applause) R. J. McLaughlinâ€"Representing as this Board does the people who appointed us I wish in their behalf to express regret at Miss Hillozk's going. We have had the fullest confidence in her teaching. She has done her duty in full every way. We shall be glad to get another to do nearly as well. The principal spoke well when he referred to the honor brought to this school by past students and teachers. The position that they and Miss Hillock now hold in the educational institutions of the province furnish valuable examples to the students of to-day. If you can inspire pub- lic confidence as they have done, you will have attained success. You can only do it by the highest character and the best work. Proceedings then closed. Miss Hillock stood at the western door and shook hands with each of thevvoung gentlemen as they left the room, Afterwards she did the same with the-young ladies. It was shortly after four o'clock and at 6.20 Miss Hillock was on board the train for Toronto to enter upon her new duties at Jamieson Ave. Collegiate Institute. In a letter from Mr. N. L. Campbell of Lorneville, but now in Oklahoma Terri- tory, he tells of what he saw during an ex- tended railway trip through that. part of Uncle Sam’s domain. In the first paragraph below quoted he speaks of a method of drawing freight that oneis surprised to hear of in an inn-3 partant part of the United States. But when we think that freight wagons have lately been put on the road between Hamilton and Toronto the wonder is not so great. Whether the cases are parallel or not we do not know. His remarks about the farming operations ShJW that down there they h we got the idea. that is a ivocated by some of our best agricultur- alists, viz: that one man ought to handle l more horses than it is the custom for him t) do in Canada. Writing from aplace called Weatherford he says: While standing on the street corner you will see the traders coming in and going out with two and three wagons fastened one afLer the OLher. The drivers have‘ eight or twelve horses or mules as may be. He rides the nigh horse of the pole team and a single line from the nigh horse of the lead team held in the left hand, with his whip in the right hand, guides them. This is called the jerk line. All the jfirefighting; to the north, south and west is principally done by those traders. Now we board the east bound train chk‘ to Oklahoma city and as we glide along we notice the farmers along the track sow- ing with four-in-hend. all abreast. Some axeplowing sitting comfortably on their plows with a. large umbrella to shade off the hot sun’s rays. Close by you seea farmer with his large barrow drawn by four horses hitched abreast, sitting com- fortably on his saddle horse behind his ‘harrow, all going smoothly along the big 3 field of three or four hundred acres. Threshing is going on at the same time with their monstrous separators and self- f eders working from sunrise till sundown and generally separating from thixteen to ‘ fli teen hundred bushels of wheate. ch (1 Also we notice, all along the 1111., 4.; farmers drawing in their groin with mice or four- in- hand hitched also abreast. No bags or sacks are used in this country. The grain is taken to market in large tight boxes. The buying and selling is all done in this country by a. few twists of the tonsue anda move or two or the elbow joint. It is anything to save hard work' 1n this countryâ€"more brain work and less [elbow work. OUTLANDERS' VICTIMS J ust to your left. you will notice about six or seven acres all covered w ith Indian tenses. These Indians migrated tram the Farming on a Big Scale west; as my day lose at hand they are anxiously waiting for their money. They receive a large amount of money per hud' annually. IN THE COTTON COUNTRY Arriving at Oklahoma city we board the- trein east bound and we still see a fine country. In a. short time we are out of the wheat country into that where the cotton. and the own are grown. Now weere in t. timber country with some prairie land. You will notice the cotton gins all along this end of the line. Here they scrim the seed from the cotton in those aims. The seed is sold to the cotton oil men am! the bales sent to the cotton compress. where they are pressed to one half their former size. N ow all is ready for the ex» port trade to England and Scotland. The Burk’s Fails Arrow recently pubâ€" biished the toilowing remarks made by Rev. Mr.,Bingham of Kansas, who was visiting in the Village: The old settlers of Kansas have survived, three pests ; Indians, grass-hoppers and hot winds. Thirty years ago Indians and bufl‘alos roamed the prairies. One member of my church had both mother and {athaf killed by Indians. Another lost a father and a brother. The early settlers had only to turn over the sod and plant their seed- to get a crop. The main fuel now is tim- her from near the river and creeks and corn cobs. Coal is also found in some part of Kansas, wheat this year averages so bushels to the acre and it is estimated there are 98,000,000 bushels of wheat in Kansas. As I passed along last week saw about 200 stacks in one field. Com rows are sometimes a mile long. Corn is used chiefly to fatten cattle which are shipped to Kansas city and Chicago. With lots of rain Kansas is the best agricultural state in the union. One farmer paid for his farm in two years from his wheat crop. There are more old soldiers to the populaâ€" tion in Kansas than any other state in the union. While Kansas is a prohibition state, the law is openly violated in some plants and yet on the whole the law is a. blessing. I think there are more divorced people in Kansas city than any other place I have been in. They can procure divorces» for ten different reasons. This is to be de- plored as homes are broken up and families scattered. Kansas is the Sunflower state. Sunflowers grow wild along the road-sides and as weeds in the fields. Kansas is 400 miles long by 200 wide and affords a variety of climate. Its natural stone is used to make buildings, sidewalks and fence posts Nearly all the fence posts in Mitchell 00., Kansas, are of stone, the fences being of. l barbed wire. The natural prairie grass at Kansas sells at $5 a ton, and is a most exâ€" cellent food for horses. Kansas is a good place to live in and on the whole its hard to get ahead of Kansas. A costly game! not to speak of its cause queaces. Thus wrote Ruskin, of war, and the record of the South African campaign fully justifies also his picture of the sad‘ children xsitting in the market place sayâ€" ing, “We have mourned into you, and ye have not lamented.” An actuarial correspondent of the “Times" thus analyses the losses by the war in South Africa. The mean strength of the British Army in South Africa, in- cluding all forces, Whether Imperial, Col- onial or Volunteers, may be mken to have been 5,260 officers and 188,000 nonâ€"oom- missioned oflicers'and men.
