Jervis has been in failing health for
some time past and quite recently
was compelled to relinquish his work,
as condition became serious. It was
at once realized that he could not
hope, for some time to resume his
duties and for that tenon the School
Board reluctantly accepted his resig-
nation. ' During the years he has
spent in Weyburn as a member of the
Public schools staff, Mr. Jervis has
built up a splendid reputation both as
teacher and a citizen and his depar-
ture for Eastern Canada in the near
future will create a void that will not
be easy to fill. In all matters that
have made for o the betterment of
things educational, social and moral,
he has always been to the foie and he
and his family will leave the city, fol-
lowed by the hope of every resident
that he may be speedily restored to
health. The Jervis family were
former residents of the 81b line where
they were well and favorably known.
Bereaved will share in the sympathy
of the comunuui ty.
