Those of Mr. Irwin’s intimate friends who knew of his inten- tion to go to Toronto, visited him at his home on the evening of Monday, October 6th, and found him as cheery as ever, and made reference to an excellent recitation he was memorizing, and which he intended giving in public sometime on his return from Toronto Hospital.

He went to Collingwood Collegiate Institute which was then one of the very best in Ontario, with William Williams, B.A., as rPincipal. He came within the benign influence of Mr. Williams and his teach- ing staff of five men, each a specialist in his subject. By 1878 Mr. Irwin passed his second class examination. He attended Toronto Norm- al School of which the late Dr. Davies was then Principal and secured his profesional second class certificate. He was now equipped to commence his near Meaford for some months and then became Principal of Leamington Public School which he taught for two years. It was while in Leaming- ton he met Miss Georgina Fitchell who in 1880 became his faithful loving wife and who shared with him bravely all few joys and many trials of a Public School teacher. From Leamington they record in passing entrance candidates, third class certificates, and one of his pupils took his second class certificate under his tuition. He also taught in the County of Middlesex and in Dan- ville Academy in the Province of Quebec for some years. He was Principal of Flesherton Public School for eleven years and made there an excellent record as teacher. For many years i he was Secretary-Treasurer of South Grey Teachers’ Institute and his presence at these liberations. His closing remarks in the address he gave South Grey Teachers’ Institute at their last meeting in Durham in Oct. 12, 1928 were: “I have worked hard at physical labor and at mental labor in several walks of life, but for downright deadening fatigue the work of an earnest, faithful teacher has them all beaten.” vv w: \v “VIC be prsent at the funeral.
