the toughest team in , the league to
■subdue.. i - ?
• Wirigham’s victory here parly
the season was
, the HurOns, and we would take it
that Monday’s defeat Was a bitter:
pill tp swallow, and possibly. the
moreso due to the brilliant perfor
mance of Irwin and his Sepoy makes

to a- 0+.0 draw in ten’ innings, with
. their, ace hurler. Jack Colvin pitch-

Irwin ori' Monday, again proved

Hurofts dribbling weak ground balls
or po.pping/flies all afternoon. A1-,
though -the Hurons were credited
with _5 hits, three were extremely.

Wingham, and although hit freely,
jjnly six safe blows were registered
against him. ‘ These included two

R. H. Cowley, another studious, pro
gressive .teacher who also was work-'
ing up. •
“Mr. Cowley was successively public
school teacher, model school teacher,
science master in the 'Collegiate, ,s
county school inspector, Provincial
inspector of continuation school^
chief inspector of public and separate
schools 1 for Ontario, and finally, up , /
to the time of his death in 1927, «»
chief inspector' of schools in Toronto..
“Mr. Stothers, during his years of -
active service, exercised his gifts as
a writer in various ways, ®nd this
biography is a good example of the ’
fine literary style he acquired. What *
follows is1 the editorial article, under
the title “A Labor of Love,” from the,
Ottawa paper* in part:
“Mr? Robert Stolhers, who taught
in Lisgar Collegiate from 1887 until
his retirement in 1928 and left the
imprint, of his|| fine mind on success- [
ive generations of Ottawa boys and .
girls, has devoted, some of his leisure"
to the writing of what he calls, aptly,,
a Biographical Memorial to. R. H.
Cowley.. It is a book in which Mr.
Stothers’ admiration'for Mr. Cowley
and reverence for his memory find
splendid expression. These two dis
tinguished educationists had much
in common beyond the fact that they
were together on Lisgar staff for
three years, from 1894 to'1897,/when
Mr. Cowley1 taught science there.
They had been friends many years • ,
before that period, continued friend^
until death severed their association.
And they were teachers of ‘the old
school’, men of Vigor and character
arid ^personality who concentrated on
the essentials of education.
„ “Mr. Cowley’s career 'was one of
great public usefulness. Mr. Stothers
writes interestingly of each phase,
pays adequate tribute to Mr. Cowley’s
‘fine intellectual qualities, social gifts,
cultured mind, noble character^__,a
map with much chaym of manner, a
very winning, string, perva^ipg per
sonality, very particular in the amen
ities of life? He held1 old-fashiQned , ’
but Very admirable views oh the n&ed
of discipline in , youth, the peed ’ Of
instruction in morals and conduct:.
He Was devoted, ”coris6ientiotis. jOved'
his work, gave it his best. In the
truest sense he was of those who
have given character arid direction
to this young country, and his name
should survive , in the gallant comp-
anv th^t includes as well his present
Biographer. ■ ' . .
