Bluevale (Crowded out last week) School closed on gridey last and on the closing afternoon; the pupils held an informal farewell to their teacher, Pte. Leslie S, Winch of the 1.01st Batt, who enlisted several weeks ago but secured permission to remain on duty till the end of the term. During the year which he has spent in Bluevale School Pte. Winch has been very popular with the children although the management of one of the largest schools in the inspectorate required the exercise of strict discipline and the training of an extra large Entrance class, the opeiij ig of school gardening and the many improvements to the grounds which demanded his oversight made him an un• usually busy teacher. On the closing afternoon a considerable number of adults gathered at the school to jeitl the children in giving him a hearty send off Tennis croquet and football displayed the re- sources -of the spacious grounds for re, creation purposes and the new "giant stride” was a centre of interest. At five o'clock the school bell called those present indoors where the program opceed with the school yell, given by the pupils and after a solo by 1\largaret Oarniss and a recitation by Beatrice Dobie, the preset) ation to the teacher of a suede leather money belt was made by Harvey Messer Ella Dobie reading the following address: Bluevale School, June 23, 1910 Pte 'Leslie S. Winch, 101st Battalion, Dear Teacher:— sWe have known for several weeks that you were going to leave us at the end ot the term; the time has now come to part and we say good bye with sorrow for we shall miss you, During the past year you have been our kind friend and com- panion as well as teacher. You have .made us all feel attached to you by your hearty interest in our plans and pro jects, your warns hearty and friendly'dis- position, by your interest in the welfare of our school and because you played with us as well as worked with us. Although knowing that you were soon to leave us i1 did not make you take any less interest in improving our school surroundings but you have worked hard to make the school and grounds a place of beauty and a place for good times and jolly sports. When you have gone away there will be much to remember you by,—the trees and shrubs that have started to grow under your care, the flowers you have planted the gardens you have helped us make, the play ground equipment you have helped to prepare and put in place for our plea- sure. And after this the war and its, his• tory will mean more to us than it ever did before when w e think of our soldier teach- er who has gone to represent Bluevale School in helping to make the world a better place to live in for the boys and girls of countries which are torn and bleeding from the wrongs which hark been inflicted upon them by their oppress- ors. The boys and girls want to give you. a little gift all their own just to'rethind you of our affection and regard. We will be very glad if it proves to be a convenience and aid to you on active service but what we want you to understand most of all is that it was prompted by true sorrow in parting from you. \Ve would like to change our school yell a little and say:— " 'Rah for thc teacher he's all right, Teaching school or going to fight; Constantinople and Timbuctoo, Teacher, teacher, bully for you," Signed on behalf of the pupils of Blue. vale School James Deb'c, Margarett Garniss, Roy Thomson, Harvey Haney. Mr, Winch gave a fitting and modest �a the audioe• t ce reply and as he took his seat n gave him three hearty cheers After a few genial and appreetativo remarks by Rev. C Tate, a song by Jean Black and a recitation by Elsie Allison the I•roceed. biro closed with "We'll Never let the 0 d Flag Fell" and the pupils shook hands with theie teacher in farewell as ILcy passed out On the 111•0101N Sun lay evenillgr Priv. ate Winch was presented With. 0 16Ist Battat'n signet ot rit by the Members o1 the Westminster Gbild of Knox Church Miss Lila Grey read a complimentary 'ad• dress and James Dobie made the present• tiOtl, it Y Issuer of a LYc .

The dispute was referred to the oracle of tlrc Del- phi, wrbo awarded the tripod to the wisest man in Greece. Thereupon It was token to Theles, who dee1::;e1 it and suggested that it be given to Bins. Ile in turn refused to accept it, and thus it was successively declined by all the seven, and they evero there. after known as the' seven wise men of Greece. • Dress and Fashions.
