Box 259 WESTON 25¢ 68c 22¢ 15¢ Col. Brain, who was noted as the silverâ€"tongued orator of the South, in one of his temperance lectures at Toâ€" ronto about A.D. 1885, in speaking of the difference in minds, told a little story of a young man with his sister who were visiting Europe. While goâ€" ing through one of the art galleries at Rome, the young lady was so atâ€" tracted with a piece of statuary that she turned to draw her.brother‘s atâ€" tention to it, but found him gazing out of a window at an organ grinder and a monkey. ‘She called: "Oh, Brother, come and see this beautiful piece of statuary, isn‘t it wonderful, those anâ€" gelic lips seem just about to speak?" He looked, but apparently all he saw was the artist‘s initials engraved at the base, G.A.B., for he replied: ‘"Yes, I guess she is for I see her name is "Gab," and turned back to look at the monkey and its master. When speakâ€" ing to Mr. Wardell, he expressed himself as well pleased with the attention and admirationâ€" given by those who visited the work of the chisel, but remarked, of course, we know there are those who are satisâ€" fied with a meaningless pile of stone without beauty, but we realize the day has come when the people are being educated to something better, both in design and workmanship, to adorn as well as mark the last resting place of loved ones ,and that we are endeavorâ€" ing in our designing to work along those lines.â€" He gives much credit to the School of Art to the uplifting of the mind to the higher and better things. The reports of the school attendâ€" ance for this year, were received at the last Board of Education meeting, showing the following figures: High school, five forms, enrolment 205, avâ€" erage attendance 183.

In ordâ€" er to do this five trustees are required and the meeting adjourned until these appointments had been made. This matter is in the hands of the Minister of Education and as soon as the necesâ€" sary steps are taken and the appointâ€" ments made, the work of the Consoliâ€" dated School will proceed. as a tanglible token of their respect and esteem of him, also as a momento of the many pleasant associations durâ€" ing their work together.
