One of these days, Fred's going to fake'
over the farm. Meanwhile, he's planning,
studying and working hard .. learning
tight on the job. .
Already he's learned a lot about mOdefir •
farm management, and how a chartered
bank can play its parr in making farm
living more comfortable, more profitable::
He has found, for example, how -useful
the bank can be as a place to build up
savings, to obtain credit, to seek financial
advice and market information. He knows
that the bank manager's doOr is open
to everyone.
When you see a good-looking, well-run
farm, chances are the farmer uses the
services the chartered banks have built
up for all Canadians:

Morris Centennial, Mr. 'Clarkson
started his teaching career' in
Morris Township, He will not be

ories of people in the district.
May 8th, 3.906
Mrs. C. J. Campbell,
R.R. No. 2, Bluevale, Ont,
Dear Mrs. Campbell:
I appreciate very much your
kindness in sending me an invita-
tion to the Morris Centennial, I'm
afraid that the burden of years 62)
will prevent me from joining the
festivities. If there Were 0. plane
to Brussels and neighboring places,
I should trito, make it, but driving
a& auto M a tough join for me now..
However, all my good wishes gp
with you.
Ever since receiving the notice
I have been going over in memory
some of the events that stick from
that day in January 1893 when
first staggered through' the drifts
from Joe Golly's house, -to find a
temperature close to zero in the
shabby schoolrooM, the stove near-
ly out and the sap hissing in the
green wood stick in the stove. That
was the first time I was ever in a
country' schoolhouse and my youth-
ful spirits were at low 'ebb. How-
ever, when the Shy bOys and girls
came in a little later, we got the
fire going and the twenty or more
scholars took their turns beside the
stove to thaw out.
My secretary was Robert War-
, wick, a genial scholar, but so re-
tiring that we would never dream
that he was a very intelligent
reader of general history, I owe a
great deal to him for Stimulating
inc to read many books on ancient.
history which T was able to''' get
every Saturday from the Mech-
anics' Institute in Wingham. Mrs.
Warwick was also a charming wo-
man who wrote excellent English
and some poetry. She was also a
good botanist and helped me to
gather some rare flowers—one that
Mr. Morton sent away, some I have
never seen since, One of • my trus-
tees could neither read nor write,
and he made the only criticism I
ever heard.
I would say on looking back, that
the pupils were a good type, a
normal cross section of boys and
girls of Ontario, Some of them
were older than I, and two my own
age, Leila Isbister and Jim War-
wick. Shortly after we settled down
I bought a football and we played
on the ice, with the goal under the
bridge." Just before the ice went
out, George Findlater broke
through to the waist! Henry Per-
due took private lessons after
school and managed to get the'
third class Certificate which ad-
mitted him to a dental college in
the "States". Unfortunately he, died
shortly after he graduated.
My salary was $390, one of the
best in the township, for I had a
first Blass certificate. At the end
of the year they gave me $400, and
I left for the normal School at the
end of the half term.
In the spring of '94 I had four-
teen children to look after, to teach
them to read, etc, I think I never.
enjoyed anything more in intro-
ducing . the '"phonic" method, al-
though some of the parents thought
it was all nonsense. One old Irish-
man who could neither read nor
write told me that his grandson
couldn't spell "cat", neither could
he. The old fellow had a poor opin-
ion of me in *other, ways. One day
he said to me, "There are three
qualifications of a gentleman. He
must be a-Tory, an Orangeman and
an Anglican, and you have not one
of thorn!"
I suppose there are a few of the
teachers living who, preceded me,
Mr. ,McCracken and Frank Wood
I think are both gone, and "Bill"
Aberhart tatter 'roe) who Was ae
High School with Me tot), the most
eminent of all the teachers at N'ir.! 7.
Perhaps it is a good thing that
I shall not be present with you all,
for if yen let one reminisee,
might never stop, As I look baelt,
I know that the 'days 'in No, 7 Were
forniatiVe ill my life.
After the hernial I became prina l
dipal in a Village aehOel and then
went into medicine. Almost from
'the beginning I began id teach in
the university arid continued until
I retired,
Wishing you ail siteteMS,
Sincerely yonts,
141, Artield Clarkson
