STRANG TO -tri. C. I. 110AND. - Acknewiedgmeot of lbs Presented's Made on Hie action' from the Stair At the regular monthly meeting of the Collegiate Institute trustee board on Thursday last, the following letter from Dr. Strang was rrad and ordered to be in- scribed in the mantes of the board: April 3, 1915. TW fiord of Truster o/ th. Collegiate Institute. GENTLILosr',-Although i was informed soon after your February meQing of the very kind and acceptable way in which you had decided to mark my retirement from the staff of the Collegiate Institute, 1 thought it best to defer my acknowl- edgment of the fact. Having now re- ceived from your representatives a cheque for the honorarium of 8500, and a finely engrossed copy of your resolution, 1 wish to thank you heartily for your kindness, and to express my grateful appreciation of your generous recognition of my work and influence as a teacher. The cheque, 1 may say frankly came at a very oppor- tune time. and the testimonial 1 shall be glad to leave as a highly valued heirloom to my family. Looking back over the years that have passed since September, 1871, when, without application, but on the recom- mendation of my predecessor. 1 was ap- pointed principal of the Goderith Gram- mar School, I cannot help feeling, that I have been honored and rewarded tar be- yond my deserts, and that much of the credit that has come to me was largely due to the favorable conditions in whidta I ' was placed. I was fortunate in having from the first the confidence and support of the board. and the feeling that, what- ever changes might take place from time to time in its membership. it would, as a whole. irrespective of political, religious or personal considerations deal fairly with the teachers in its employ, and se* only to promote the best interests of the School. I was fortunate, too, in having the loyal and hearty support of my colleagues, to some of whom. especially Miss Charles and Mr. Moore, much of the success of the school was due; and, lastly, l was for- tunate in having for our earliest Univer- sity students such men as McGillivray, Robertson. Elliott, Crassweller, Swanson, and others, who would have brought credit to any principal and any school. It is naturally very gratifying to me to feel that after so long a period of har- monious relations with the board, my colleagues. my pupils and my fellow - teachers throughout the Province, I am privileged to carry with me into retire- ment these evidences of their goodwill and esteem, In conclusion, 1 need hardly assure you that, though no longer on the staff of the Goderich Collegiate Institute, I shall con- tinue to feel a warm interest in its prog- ress, and shall be glad at any time to further Its interests in any way I can. ! Again thanking .LU . collectively and iadneidual:S, 1 resiBM. gentlemen. Yours sin cewly, HUGH 1. STRANG. The presentation to Dr. Strang on be- half of the board was made a few days previous by a committee composed o Dr. A. Taylor, Principal Hume, respec- tively chairman and secretary of the board. and Mr. H. J. A. MacEwan, a former pupil of Dr. Strang.

In one of his letters from Ottawa 1 UMW* MOURN, i10 . "aang set“ tunic of the new pmemberi, mentions the mem- ' ber for North Vi'innipeg as follows: "Some of the Ina/nista sat on the Otiposition side at the beginning because the attendance was more numerous than the chairs. Among them, the first day, was a gentleman of whom one said that he was the typical. prosperous French- Canadian. His Latin darkness and his pointed beard, the general aspect of re- tlective distinction which pervaded his form attracted a speculative attention. A shrugging shoulder and a pair of out- stretched palms seemed to belong to the time when he should say, 'Monsieur L'Orateur: Je desire - -.' But ap- pearances are deceiving. He was born on a farm in Huron county. He belongs to a family which counts among its ancient scions the most illustrious British admiral who was first a soldier of the Ironsides. He has a blessed sense of humor, which much meditation upon the tariff cannot abate. Ile has been a Conservative, with intellectual reserva- tions towards some things which have been done in that great name in the city whence he appear,. When he was in- troduced to Ernest Lapointe, the giant from Kamouraska, an able man who also dearly loves a juke and then some - Lapointe said. '1 am delighted to meet a new man from Winnipeg. You resemble Henri Bourassa, Dr. Blake; and if you don't buy a razor we shall change your name.' And the pair of them, the French-Canadian who looks like a bluff Yorkshireman and the other Canadian who might have come straight from 1.'Av enue de L'Opera, sat down like old friends to find out how it is the Almighty has made so few bad Canadians." Dr. Matthew Blake is a son of Ash- field; his birthplace being near Lucknow. Ile attended Goderich Collegiate Insti- tute perhaps twenty-five years ago, and has had a successful career as a medical practitioner in the city of Winni- 1 George Hebei was before Magistrate Kelly on Saturday on ■ charge of threatening personal violence to Con- stable W.
