MANY FORMER TOWN
Approximately 47500 people
crowded the auditorium of the
new Grey Central School, at Ethel,
on Thursday night for the official
opening of the building, The
school has been in use since. Sept-
ember of 1905 but the official
opening was postponed, until this
time,
The Dedication Ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Allan John-
ston of Brussels. The guest speak-
er for the occasion was the Rev.
Dr. F. G. Stewart of Kitchener,
former Moderator of the Presby-
terian 'Clinch in Canada.
The program opened with 0
Canada, selections by the School
Choir and brief remarks by
George Pearson, chairman of the
School Board.
Among, the guest speakers was
Stuart McInnis, of Walkerton, who
is the Inspector in Bruce County
a former Grey Township resident,
on whose home farm the Grey
Township Central School stands.
He reminisced about his early
school days in Ethel, and congrat-
ulated the school board and
residents of the township, on their
achievement, as did the other
speakers.
Inspector J. H. Kinkead told of
the excellent co-operation of the
board, architects and contractors;
of the changing educational
methods and of what they hoPed
to achieve in the new school.
Mr. Kinkead presented a, bible
to Mr. Axtinare school principal,
on behalf of the Trustees and
"?a.tepayers Association.
C. R. Dunbar,, Reeve of Grey
Township said that in spite of
difficulties encountered the
project had been carried through
and the new Central School was a
fine achievement,

firm spoke briefly as did a repre-
sentative Of the contracting' firm.
A presentation of the key of the
school was made to the' board
Chairman.
The principal of the new school,
James Axtman, spoke briefly.
Mr. Johnston, prior to dedicat-
ing the building quoted this most
appropriate poem:
A builder blended a temple;
HO wrought with care and skill;
,Pillars and groins and arches
Were fashioned to meet' his will -
And men said when they saw its
beauty:
"it shall never know decay.
;:rent is thy skill, 0 Builder,
Thy fame shall endure for aye."

care; —
Forming each pillar with patience,
Laying each stone with prayer.
None saw the unceasing effort;
None 'knew of the marvellous
plan;
For the Stemple the teacher builded
Was unseen by the eyes of man.
Gone is the builder's temple;
Crumbled into the dust,
Pillar and groin and arches
Food for consuming rust;
But the temple the teacher blinded
Shall endnre while the ages roll;
For that beautiful, unseen. temple
Was a. child's immortal soul,
Rev. Dr. Stewart was intro-
duced by Wilfred Shortreed, a.
member of the Board, Mr.
Stewart, in. characteristic style,
sprinkled his forceful address
with humorous incidents. He
spoke of the rapidly changing
world in which today, children are
growing up; that the old methods
of education will not fit them for
the world in which they will live;
that in their lifetime the advanc-
es being made may well see
them on another planet. They
must be taught to think for them-
selves; they must he equipped to
cope -with the life they wilt be
faced with.
Mr. Stewart concluded by
outlining the four freedoms he
said people must have. They are.
freedom to excel; to believe: to
make up our own mind and to
live a full life.
Donald McDonald, another
Board member, expressed apprec-
iation to the speaker,
The program concluded with
selections by the school choir and
The Queen.
