ONAWBRIDDE BOYS FARM AND TR AINING= nother step forward in the interests of the wel- fare of boys was made recently at Shawbridge, Q@uebec, when a modern gymnasium, complete in every detail was formally opened by EB. W. Beatty, Ciairman and President of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. The gymnasium which has be- come. the property. of .the Shawbridge Boys’ Farm | Teese ne School, is the joint gift of Mr. meatty as McConnell! of Montreal. The fe mnasium was erected during the past- year was done so at a considerable expenditure on the part of the two interested parties: Mr. Beatty’s connection with the Boys’ Farm at Shawbridge has long been established and were it not that he was the guiding genius of the greatest transportation eye 1¢ world, he would be a national figure for his est in the welfare of boys. The Grrinasium is known as the “E. W. Beatty Gymnasium,” a name that was given to it at the request. of the boys of the farm. The structure is of solid stone, quarried about seven miles -from the Farm, which lies in the first range of the faméus Laurentian Mountains. No detail has been forgotten in its construction. The main floor is taken up with the gym proper where many an exciting game of basketball will take place. Below is a fine swimming pool wi ith showers close by. Wn the same floor is what might be termed a den SCHOOL BY EW BEATTY ESQUIREK aM MO CONNELL ESQUIRE OF. MONTE iE SAND was OPENED: ie USE ae ANE EAL #OG6 aii) d = or library. This room is finished in chestnut and is furnished throughout with generous leather chairs and solid oak writing desks. Predominating, one end stands an immense stone fireplace which is seen in the photograph. This fireplace;—nccording to the inscription, “was erected with funds left te the Boys’ Farm by Private Harry Barry, whd was a upil in this school and gave his life in the Great Var 1914-1918.” After the opening ceremony this tablet was un- veiled in the presence of, about 300 guests who had been invited by Mr. Béatty and Mr. McConnell. A tablet on the outside of the building reads “This gymnasium was donated to the Shawbrid dze Boys’ Farm and Training School by E. W. Beart; Esquire, K.C., and J. W. McConnell, Esquire, af Montreal and was opened for use on the twenty- | fifth day of June, 1927,” wv nnd inte d = or a . . . X r ‘ * 7" “4 7. a * ere) .- Sats wo * ee ee.
