’the anti-trust laws, a .bluntly worded
document, he proposed a $500,000 in
vestigation of “collectivism in busi
ness,’.* followed by action to restore

with a prayer by the teacher.
All were urged to be in attendance
by nine o’clock next morning. Many
of the pupils of that day have passed
on to the Great Beyond, but their
memories are kept fresh in the minds,
of those still here. Some have attain
ed prominence in their various avoca
tions, some have travelled far in dis
tant countries, and a goodly number
still reside in the same township. No
doubt a similar account might be
written of any of our rural school sec
tions throughout Western Ontario.
The names given above are not fic
titious except two or three are nick
names.
We hope this rambling reminis
cence may be read with interest by
at least those who attended the No.
13 school sixty or seventy years ago,
and if so, the writer will feel well re
paid.
