Miss M. Jean Ready, now teaching in
Orillia, represented West FIuron in the.
Government -planned tour of New Ont-

fully prepared paper of that wonder-
ful week spent in touring Ontario's
wonderland in the North. She told of
their experiences in visiting important
mines, immense paper mills, huge
smelting plants, and rapidly -growing
towns, cities and viliagies, tsome of
which were a revelation to the teachers
present. They found Hearst, a village
of 1,700 people; Timmins, a town of,

"Althoii b the centenary celebra-
tions at Montreal indicate that Mc-
Gill University is already a hundred
years old, the roots of that great
educational institution reach still
further into the past. In the fas-
cinating volume "McGill and Its
Stony" just published, Cyrus Mao -
Millan, the author, states that the
British settlers in Lower Canada,
after the conquest of Quebec were
eager that their children . should
have at least an elementary educa-
tion. It was felt, too; that in the
unrest and the uncertainty of the
period t immediately following the
Aznerican Revolution it was not
advisable to send students in search
of higher professional training to
the universities of the United States,
which in the days of their British
• allegiance had attracted Canadian
students in large numbers.
Efforts were accordingly made to
establish a system of free schools
with the hope that later a university
might be founded. As a result of
the agitation for the providing of
educational opportunities lin Lower
Canada, The Royal Institute for the
Advancement of Learning was es-
tablished under this Act, the King
gave directions for the establish-
ment "of a competent number of
Free Schools for the instruction of
;children in the first rudiments of
!useful learning; and also as occasion
!should require for foundations of a
ignore comprehensive nature." Ac-
cordingly, elementary free schools
were soon erected in different parts
of the Province, one -room buildings
of cedar logs. Indeed, they were
mere log -huts but they provided the
'first free English Education in
Lower Canada, and laid the founda-
;tion for a Canadian nationality. The
Seeretary'e salary was always many
;asaonths in arrears, and he frequently
complained, with unfortunatelybut
little satisfaction, that not only had
he given his time for some years
without remuneration, but that he
!had expended even his own fuel and
oandles.gt It was not unusual for
'teachers to be censured "for not
eeping school at all," or for giving
o many holidays, or for tardiness
:in opening achoal in the morning,
and eagerness in closing it in the
,afternoon. At least one Leather was
iwarnod that his arrears in salary
would not be paid and that he would
;be instantly dismissed if he did not

and becoming somewhat corpulent in
his old age," and in his leisure
"much given to reading," James Mc-
Gill died in 1913 and in his will be-
queathed to the Royal Institution for
the Advancement of ' Learning, in
trust, the sum of £10,000 and his
Burnside Estate of forty-six acres,
together with the dwelling house
and other buildings for. the erection
on the estate, and the endowment,
of a University or College.
The first Principal of McGill was
the Reverend George Jehoshaphat
Mountain, who was appointed Prin-
cipal in 1824 while the university
was only a name. The official open-
ing did not take place till June 24th,
1829, and was attended by what the
contemporary press called a gather-
ing of "numerous and respectable
individuals." Anxious years marked
the early history of McGill, due to
lack of funds and quarrels between
the Board of the Royal Institution
and the Governors of the College,
In November, 1848, the Governors
had only the sum of 154 at their
disposal. t They divided it between
the Bursar and the two Lecturers
in proportion to the amount of 'sal-
ary in arrears and as a result the
Lecturer in French, M. Montier, re;
ceiyed £2 14s. as his share from
January 1st, 1848, to November 29th,
1848. That was the full amount of
salary received by him during the
year; but he still, says the author,
had his cow and his garden!
Dr. D. C. Maccalum wrote an
account of medical student life about
this time, "A large pro ortion of
the students," he said, ' ere men

were married men and the heads of
families. There was sufficient of
the youthful, however, to keep things
lively, 'Footing Suppers,' practical
jokes, and special country excursions
to secure material for practical an-
atomy were of frequent occurrence.
The last, involving at it did a cer-
tain amount of danger, commended
itself particularly to the daring
spirits of the class, who were always
ready to organize and lead an ex-
cursion having that object in view.

.
The first real progress was made
when the late Sir William Dawson
became Principal, "When I accepted
the principalship of McGill, he said
in bit reminiscences I had not
been in Montreal, and knew the eel-
loge and the men coaneeted. with It
only by reputation. I first saw it
in October; 1855, Materially it was
represented by two blocks of un-
finished and partly ruinous build-
ings, standing amid a wilderness of ,
excavators' and masons' rubbish'
overgrown with weeds and bushes.
The grounds were unfenced and were
pastured at will by herds of cattle,
which not only cropped the grass,
but browsed on the shrubs, leaving
unhurt only one great elm, which
still stands as the 'founder's tree,'
and a few old oaks and butternut
trees, most of which have had to
give place to our new buildings. The
only access from the town was by
a circuitous and ungraded cart track,
almost impassable at night. The
buildings had been abandoned by the
new Board, and the classes of the
-Faculty of Arts were held in the
upper story of a brick building in
the town, the lower part of which
was occupied by the High School."
A direct appeal for financial as-
sistanee was then made to the citi-
zens of Montreal. It met with an
encouraging response, which greatly
relieved the situation, and was what
Dr. Dawson forty years later, called
"the beginningo3 a stream of liber-
ality which has floated our Uni-
versity barque up to the present
date." e
The more recent expansion of Mc-
Gill to 'its present strong position is
well known. The appointment of
Sir Arthur Currie at Principal and
the still more recent election of Mr.
E. W. Beatty, President of the Can-
adian Pacific Railway, as Chancellor
have given it a practical adminis-
tration which is calculated to en-
sure its continued progress as an
essentially National University. In
the Epilogue to his volume Professor
MacMillan writes: "There is a new
spirit in McGill. To -day its puls-
ing life, under the guidance of its
great Canadian leader, reaches
through all grades and faculties and
departments of its students as • it
has never done before. There is a
general forward movement nnhamp-
eyed and undivided by considerations
or competitions of sections or of
faculties. The University is closer,
too, than it once was to the current
of national feeling. It is seeking to

Votes of thanks 'were tendered the
Exeterf10ard for the useof the school;
also to those who took part in Thurs-
day evening's program and to those
opening their hones to the teachers
attending a most successful conven—
tion.
One hundred and thirty teachers
were present at the convention.
Friday Afternoon
Mr? Tom called Mr. Johnston to the
front and in a few well-chosen words
spoke of the good work done by him
during the many years as teacher and
secretary, as well as his activities in
church circles. In recognition of his
faithfulness and devotion to duty,he
was asked to accept a well-filled purse
as a memento from the teachers of the
inspectorate.
in reply Mr. Johnston spoke of the
pleasant associations he has always had
in the West Huron Teachers' Associa-
tion and the uniform kindness and co-
operation with which he has always
been treated by the teachers. It had
always been a delight to serve in the
capacity of secretary. He gave re-
miniscences of the work and thanked
then for past and present kindness.
After this G. S. Howard, the new sec-
retary, and Miss Sharman, also spoke
on the high esteem in which Mr..John-
ston was held.
Three cheers were given for Mr.
Johnston and all sang "For He's a Jolty
Good Fellow."
The Resolution Committee was then
appointed as follows: Messrs, G. A.

Norman Geddes, Belgrave; Inspector
Tom, Goderich; Misses Wiggins, Gode-
rich; Medd, Exeter; and Plunkett, Au-
burn.
The question drawer was then taken
up by inspector Tom, who answered
the many questions to the satisfaction
of all.
The resolutions were then read by
Mr. Ross, convener of the committee.
Resolved that it is the wish of this
association that pupils who have pass-
ed the Jr. entrance examination and
therefore now are in fifth form, shall
not come under the requirements of
the Adolescent Act. tarried,
Resolved that n the opinion of the
West Huron Teachers' Association that
the 2nd or 3rd Monday in October
would be more suitable for Thanks-
giving than later dates. Carried.
Miss Medd followed on the subject
of "School Discipline," She believes
discipline is just meting out justice to
a law breaker.
Mr. Elgin Schatz followed on the
subject of "Summer 'Courses for Tea-
chers." He spoke of the great need, of
Summer Courses today and advised all
to take advantage of these instead of
wasting the vacation in idleness. Now,
a variety of courses are open to teach-
ers, but in his opinion Agriculture
stands first. Mr. Mawson then con-
tinued the subject and in a humorous,
way told of his experience during his
course at Guelph and then gave in-
stances where his teaching of agricul-
ture was appreciated by the ratepayers
of his section.

Nine -tenths of all forms of indiges-
tion or so-called stomach trouble are
not due to the condition of the stom-
ach at all, but are caused by other in-
fluences. The great contributing
cause of indigestion is thin blood.
Good blood and plenty of it is requir-
ed by the stomach to take care• of the
food. If the blood is thin the stom-
ach functions sluggish, food lies undi-
gested, gas forms and causes pains in
various parts of the body. Instead of
getting nourishment from the blood
the system gets poison.
Relief from this condition can be
obtained by the tonic treatment
which Mr. D. Shaw, Mt. Stewart,
P,E.I., tried and now ivarmly recom-
mends to others. Mr. Shaw, says: "!1
suffered from indigestion for over
four years, and have tried many of
the well-known remedies for such
troubles, but never obtained more
than temporary relief. The trouble
was aggravated by constipation set-
ting In owing to the stomach failing
to do its work, and 'laxatives only
gave relief to the bowels and left the
stomach in worse condition. The re-
sult was my blood was growing more
and more anaemic, 1 did not sleep,
well at night and was growing des-
pondent. I was in this wretched con-
dition when a friend advised me to
try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I got
three boxes and by the time they
were finished there was some change
for the better. This greatly encour-
aged me and 1 continued taking the
pills for some three months by
which time my stomach was all
right again, my blood good, nerves
strong and life was again worth liv-
ing. My advice to all who suffer
from stomach trouble is to give Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial,"
