Excursion if satisfactory arrange, inmate oau be made, A Committee was appointed to see about it. A banana treat brought the meeting to a close The MethodistSabbath School here was organized in 1859 In the ppassing years B Getty, now of Fore William, served as Superintendent for 19 years and as a Bible Class teacher, up to his removal from town. Dr. Watson, of Brantford. succeeded biro as presiding oMcer and held office until 1880 when he moved to Seaforth and the present incumbent was elected and has con- tinued in the school since, although Dr. G. L. Ball, now of Toronto, and le, Ii. Gilroy, Brussels, relieved him of the Superintendency for S years, the latter taking the post of teach- er of the Adult Bible Class after 2 years occupancy of office. This is W. H. Kerr's 82nd year in office as Superintendent and in the passing seasons has always had a noble faith- ful band of officers and teachers to aid him. From the:Sehool have gone nut 10 persons into the ministry and Y. Id,0. A. work while another larger umbee are busily employed as Sunday School Superintendents, teachers, &o., atmanv a point, particularly in the Great West, Deputy Minister Perrie, Alberta "Ajax" in writing up "Some big Municipal Men" in the February issue of the Canadian Municipal Journal deals with a former resident of Grey twp. in the person of Jno. Perris, who is a brother to Perrie Bros„ and Mee. Jas. Grant, of Cranbrook, Oot„ locali- ty, and Rev. D. Perrie, Wingham. Here is what was said :—Last month this column dealt with a good'muni- cipal official, this month another in like capacity is to be held up. Not that he will mind, for he is one of those public rhea who can stand the limelight without being affected by its penetrating rays. John Perrie, the name of this official, stands for ef- ficiency and the best in Inman nature. For fourteen years he has been work- ing to build up the municipal life of the great Westin an official capacity —first as a servant of the Government of the North-West Territories, and on its division into the two pr'air'ie pro- vinces, as officer in charge of a branch of the Alberta Public Works De- partment, which dealt with municipal affairs, and since 1912, when a de- partment for municipal affairs was formed, as deputy minister. His work during all this time has been of a constructive nature, putting into practice the acts of the legislature, which, without any precedent to go by, are much easier to pass than carry out, and working a civic life anongsc the thousands of immigrants who come into the province each year. All of this means hated labor and only a man in love with his work could do it—at least would do it. But Deputy Perrie revels in his work and is never so happy as when he is up to the neck scheming how the Town Planning Act, or some other municipal measure, can be worked in this or that community ; or again discussing with some municipal official how beet to solve a problem which has come up in the man's particular district. All the municipal officers of the province know that in John Perrie they have a man who is always ready to help them, provided they show their determination to win out, but like his brother a G r d e ut from. the P y next province he has no use for shirk- ers nor bounders. Not that they can have many in the Province of Alberta, as they have a wayy of getting rid of them out there. But the non-profes- sional municipal man has the best friend iu the Deputy Minister. He knows every municipal council and they know him. Always ready with practical advice he never intrudes himself, and the mayors and aldermen respect him for this modesty, or if anything appreciate him the more for it, as exemplified in the confidence they place in his judgment. Personally Deputy Perrie is a fine figure of a man—a typical representa- tive of the man with the big ideas who is strong enough to carry them out. Essentially honest in mind, and looking for the same in others, he makes one feel the better for his com- pany which reacts on one's work, par- ticularly if it is of a municipal nature, about which he is never tired of speaking. To him the Alpha and Omega of everything worth living for is spelled municipal with a capital initial, He believes that the basis of the public life of this Dominion is the municipal one, and on it only can be built up the true spirit of nationhood. Tie cites the Towu Planning Act, which they have in Alberta and are trying to get in other provinces, a s creatingthe sense of public responsi- bility bilad amongst the citiz ns. If he conlhe would have the schools take upmunicipal education—and no doubt be will before long, at least in his own province. An optimist, Deputy Minister Perrie believes in Alberta, where he has spent eighteen years of his life. He has seen it grow from small things to what it is • from one or two municipalities to 6' Cities, 48 Towns, 104 Villa es 84Rural Muni- cipalities and 74 Local Improvement Districts,, all of which be has to keep an eye on. Mr, Perrie is but 41 years of age, and as lie himself says, exper- ience, gives a man a big, broad, toles' ant outlook on thins, which is quite true in his case. This ripe experience, togsther with comparative gentle and vigor -meatal and phyeical•can only mean one thing tisat John Perrie, though lie has already been a big factor in the public life of the country, is going to be more so in the Coming ears, and no one wishes him more luck than done "Ajax."
