See Your Home Printer First THE TIMES-ADVOCATE Noted educationist, known beloved by thousands of former dents of Central Collegiate institute where he was vice-principal prior to retirement seven years ago, E. S. Hogarth passed away Sunday af­ ternoon at the Hamilton General Hospital. He was in his 78th year, having been born on October 6, 1862 in Huron County. Altogether, Mr. Hogarth served on the staff of Central Collegiate for 41 years, a major part of that time as head of the modern languages department. He had been vice-prin­ cipal for 11 years. It was in 188$ that deceased gra­ duated from the University of Tor­ onto with honours in modern lang­ uages and English. A fellow-gra­ duate of Hon. Dr, J. H. Cody, presi­ dent of the U. of T., a friendship developed between the two which grew stronger as the years passed. Before coming to Hamilton, Mr, Hogarth served for a short time on the staff of the Woodstock colleg­ iate. He was for ten years on the staff of the Normal college, which was operated here by the depart­ ment of education for the training of teachers, before being moved to Toronto. To better fit himself for teaching duties, Mr. Hogarth stud­ ied in Berlin and Paris, and he post-graduate work at versity. Educational honours fallen to few came to down through the years, prominently identified at times as president of the Teachers’ alliance, the Provincial Modern Languages association, the Scientific and Literature association ; and the Alliance Francaise, of Hani- j ilton. Besides having edited num­ erous books for the department of education, Mr. Hogarth authored a German grammar which has been widely used. j Active Church Worker | Deceased did not limit himself to academic subjects as was evidenced , by the fact that, as a member of the' Centenary United Church for over 45 years, he was a very active mem- ( ber of the missionary and extension ; board of the United church locally. Mr. Hogarth had been especially in- ■ terested in the old Garth street mission and latterly Trinity church. He was also widely known in the field of fraternalism, having been a past chief ranger of the Indepen- j dent Order of Foresters, to reach • which post meant passing through all chairs. - ; Mr. Hogarth was predeceased by his wife, the former Phoebe Rein­ hart in 19 31. He is survived by four sons, Earle, of Montreal; Ar-j th'Ur, Hamilton; Albert, of New Lis- keard, O.nt. and William, of Tor- onto, and one daughter, Ruth, of, Sault Ste Marie. Another daughter Vera, died in 1934. There are also three brothers and one sister, J. C..’ of Purves, Man., S. J. and Fred and Miss Ethel J., of Exeter left to mourn his passing. ; Remains of deceased, who resided . at 61 Stanley avenue, rested at the J. H. Robinson funeral home j until 2 o’clock Tuesday afternoon when they were removed to Cen-1 tenary church for service at 3.30 ( o’clock. Interment was made in Hamilton cemetery.

Mr. Anthony gave a re­ view of the war situation and ob­ served the King’s request to hold Sunday as the Day of Prayer. His address was one which gave encour­ agement in these troublesome times. A large congregation was present. The? W. A. ham supper held on M*&yV24th was very largely attend- ed/and the program was well receiv­ ed. Proceeds were quite gratifying; Friends extend sympathy to Mrs. Weston Horne and Other members of the family in the recent death of Mrs. Horne’s mother, Mrs. Whitford. Misses Lorena and Leola Johns of Toronto, visited over the week-end with their mother Mrs. John Johns. Mi\ and Mrs. Rhiny Stephen and family, of Chesley, visited with Mr. and Mrs. iChas. Stephen on the 24th. Mrs. Jennie Jackson, of London, spent the week-end with her sisters Mrs. P. Murch and Mrs. A. Pym. Surrounded by one of the most fertile districts in Western Ontario it was no wonder that mechanics and small manufacturers should flock to Brucefield at any early period in her history. The first blacksmith was William McMillan. ■Others were James Johns, B. Kais­ er, Duncan McDonald and Sam Pol­ lock. In the early days, a bag of wheat was often taken to London or Go­ derich on the back of an ox, and the flour brought back was precious in the farmer’s home. In order to sup­ ply this staff of life, Adam Smith opened a flour mill, and for years began mills doors. W. ness maker, shop for many decades when horses furnished the motive power on the farm and the highway. A grain elevator that was kept open for about half a century by William Scot.t. & Co., and through which had passed millions of bu­ shels of grain, is now under the control of Laird Mickle, of Hensall. In earlier days, a pump factory was conducted by a Mr. Lang. A cheese and butter factory prospered for several years and was run by Hugh McCartney. It was gradually crowded out by larger concerns in other places. Large creameries sent their trucks over a wide terri­ tory and gathered the cream, mak­ ing no charge to the farmer for trucking it away. City firms made tempting offers for cream delivered in cream cans at near-by railway stations. The cash returns were satisfactory, and, in consequence, the small rural cheese factories and creameries languished and in many cases were closed altogether. The first wagon shop was opened by Hugh McIntosh and for many years manufactured a large num­ ber of wagons for the farmers in the district, but, like many other articles, the day came when wagons were turned out wholesale by large factories and the small plants were closed. Other flourishing businesses in the early days were several shoe­ makers’ shops, tailor shops, a stave mill and cooper shop, carriage shops, etc. Most of these early con-> cents are now closed, and all owing to the same cause — competition from the large factories. But we must not run away with the thought that .Brucfeield is dead or dying. Instead, she is very much alive, and still carries on a large trade with the surrounding country.
