This is an absolute lie, Mr. Haviland never was principal of the Bryant and Stratton College in Buffalo. Neither can he, today, get a recommendation from t hem as principal of a business col- lege. In the same issue they state he was four years principal of the Central Business College, Stratford, but Chet writer knows from their advertise- ments for the past dozen years or more, W. J, Elliott has been advertis- ed as President and D. A. MacLachlan as principal. Wo have not yet got definite information about the Cleve- land experience; but the statement about the Buffalo principalship is ab. eolutely false, we will nob be surprised to loam that the rest of the advertise• went may be made out of the same cloth, These gentlemen have made a per- sonal attack upon the. writer stating that he never attended a business Col- lege• the statement is quite correct, as the writer went into the business col- lege work work simply on his teaching career and he has never found any difficulty in getting the students from the two towns in which he was princi- pal, One of those towns is quite close to the famous Mount Forest Business College, which is a branch of the fam- ous Elliott and MacLachlan people but it is a .branch wh lob they forgot to mention. From this particular town, students travel almost twice the dist- ance to a branch operated by the writer. If the foundation upon which the writer began with fourteen years faithful diligent study and aesociation with the beet teachers we could' receive since is not sufficient, why we will take a few months course at the Cen- tral Business College this winter. Right here, we wish to say a word to the public about business colleges in general. Business Colleges are not under the supervision or direction 'of the Education Department of Ontario consequently anyperson eau teach in a business college and any person can operate a business college and many college proprietors take advantage of his, for instance; Elliott and Mac- Lachlan have advertised that "Miss Ethel Wilson is also a member of the teaching staff." We deeply regret to say this on Miss Wilson's account but we must do so in defence of ourselves. Miss Wilson has not any high-school education, neither has she had exper• fence in office work, yet these gentle- men are advertising to the good people of Wingham and vicinity the strength of their courses. They might get away with this kind of thing else- where, but ss nee they have seen lit to make a personal attack on the writer, we are quite ready and willing to go into the matter fully with them. We are looking up the qualifications of Mr, Elliott and MacLachlan at the present time and are quite prepared to oarr,y on any comparison which they wish to make. The writer met Messrs Elliott and McLachlan by appointment in Toron. to, and asked them to call a truce until the end of the war, but they were not inclined. We tried to show them at the present time„ wheu man power is scarce and each individual should ba placed so as to do most to win the. war, that it was no time for them to open a branch in Wingham and for ue to be compelled to open a brauch in Stratford. We have also advised them, and also Mr. Heviland, by regi- stered letter that our principal Sere geant Foster Ferguson is on active service in France and that when he enlisted we aseured him that his posi- tion would be here for him when he came back and that they might be better employed than striving to dee- troy his position during his absence at the front, A. number of young people have shown us letters which the new branch is sending out, in which they state that the Elliott Business College in Toronto is one of the largest schools in Ontario. On '.Thursday, July 19th. the writer engaged a.man----not a boy —to count the number of etudente en- tering the Elliott; Business College, He was there forty-five minutes before the opening hour and fsrty.five initi- ates after the opening hour and the magnificent number of twenty-eight etudente entered 1 This means that Our Canada Business College, Toronto, which ie a branch of the Wingham Business College Was larger six menthe after its opening than the world famous Elliott Business College was after about fifteen years. We al- so make this statement, that since our opening in the city of Toronto on Jan, 8th, our Canada Business College has enrolled more new students, who have attended .or enrolled to attend, than the Elliott Business College and it Mr, EIliiote doubts this We will ask him to show up his books and we will make a donation. Ocoee 'ff of $ 50.A0 to he R ed o our etntem'nt is not correct. The above may went "small potao toes" on our hart by some of our read., ere, but who these Men oona t tat loran and try i o sweep young people off their feet by telling them of the famous work eleowbere and the prodigies they themselves are, we feel that in self- proteration weehattid .eaeke the above atetementa, Mr. 11;11iot4 impressed upon the writer that a matt does beet where be is not known, giving the quotation. that "a prophet is not with- out honor, save in his own country" yet, notwithetancling this advice. the writer purposes re ai i t8 in Wing- ham in -ham and will strive to have a larger and better echool for our sol tier prin- cipal on his return. Only one com- mercial echool can exist,• in Wingham, What the people in title vicinity. will buy is what the teachers of the old or new school can impart to the pupil. It matters not how many schools either of the proprietors may have, in fact, owing to war conditions and en- listments of o'ur staffs the writer has closed two schools until the end of the war.

The jury follows: Jas. Holland, John Cutt, H.' T. Edwards, Peter Mc- Ewen, Charles Humber, B. C. Mun. ninge, foreman, • After viewing the body an adjournment was made until Saturday morning, The late Mre. Hardy lived- with her son, John Maxwell and his wife on Bruce street. According to the stories of the neighbors, the family affairs did not run as emoothly as they might have. On Sunday a disturbance broke out between Mrs. M.axweil and the de- ceased lady and during the scuffle Mre, Hardy fell or was pushed to the floor, breaking her thigh and necessitating her retuoval to the ho'pital. The story as told Sergt. Moore, who was called to quell the disturbance on Sunday by Mrs, Maxwell, was that the deceased lady, who was rather' hard to g L along with, threw some tea leaves in her face, and it was while preventing her from throwing more that she (firs. Maxwell) gave her &shove, Mrs. Hardy falling to the fiaor, breaking her thigh. Whether the injury and the accom- panying shock to the lady, who is 84 years of ago, was the immediate cause of the death is the point to be decided by the jury. ATTACHES NO ELA'MIE TO GODEItICH LADY Goderich, July 28.—That the late Mre. Hugh Hardy, died as a result of shock caused by a fall sustained at the home of her son, John Maxwell, of Bruce street, was the verdict brought in by the jary at the adjourned it: - quest held this morniug. A number of witnesses were called, including Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell. Itirs. Max- well'e story was the same„as given the police on Thursday, that, she and Mts.- Hardy, rs,Hardy, got into an argument, Mrs, Hardy throwing some tea at her, and it was while protecting herself from the old lady that she gave her a shove that caused the mishap. It was purely unintentional on her part, and was viewed as such by the jury.

Belgrave Again we have to thank the people of Belgrave and vicinity for the very hearty response to the invitation to share in the "Shower" of comforts for our boys in Eng- land and France, but such generosity is not surprising when we consider that we have sank our boys there, They are fighting in our behalf., Our best efforts and our little sactifices are as nothing compared with what they have given, offering all that is in their power in de- feuce of home folk. That they appreciate these parcels there is no doubt judging from the very many letters received, The following is a sample, `ti received a box from the Soci- ety and thought it my duty to drop a few lines in acknowledgement and express my thanks for your remembrance and good wishes. Canada has two armies in this strife, one at the front and the other at home. That they are essential one to the other is easily understood when the spirits ,and faces of the boys away from .home brighten immediately on receiving any- thing from their friends at home, You need have no fear that your work is un- appreciated by those for whom it is per- formed Thanking you sincerely for your iuterest in the boys in khaki, I remain." And also the following letter, "On arriv- ng "home" this afternoon from work I was very agreeably surprised to find a parcel from the Belgrave Patriotic Society awaiting me, and am very glad to receive the same. We boys are always pleased to be re- membered by the friends at home and noth- way pleases us mole than either a parcel or letter, and we are always on the job when the mail man comes around.
