The monument was erected in horror of Francis Hamilton who died in 1866, and Mrs. Hamilton. The unveiling took place on Friday afternoon, when over one hundred of‘ the Hamilton clan were present, of which Mrs. McIlraith is a member. Mrs. I. W.

T hosexvho havexstudents going 10 thisschool or who will in the future have them attending, should take the. matter into their serious consid- eration. The fact. that 130 pupils are being trained here for various posi- tions in life is no small consideraâ€" tion. Should these pupils be ham-i percd in reaching the goal of their‘ ambition? One may say, let them gol elsewhere for what they can’t get :here, but this is oniy putting the responsibility on some other com- munity.

This is an inâ€" crease on‘ last year. All of these students have still some subjects in the Middle school or Form 111.. They are not left with nothing to do, but in some cases they have as low as three subjects. These pupils are all ready for the fourth Form work and it means a loss of time to them. ‘ Last W11" Hie 14‘1ittt‘t11 1111-111 “as cartiml on 1111111 r difl'icultv’ and bv making ten periods in the (lax v1 111111 other schools are using 8 and 9.

At that time a |fourth teacher was put in, which inecessitated the partial tearing up of the room used as an Experimental room in science for all the classes, Lower school as well as Middle and 'Uppcl‘. This room has been chang- ed into a classroom having a. capa- city of 32-35 pupils in seating, and down one side are left seven science boxes, originally intended for one or two pupils at the outside. These must serve. about 40. students. in the Middle School and Matriculation, to say nothing of 75 pupils in Forms I. and II, This simply means.the Sciâ€" ence. room has been taken away, about one quarter of it is left which can only he used by the form which is lucky enough to he in it at the time.
