Janguages they are • away ahead of
North America, for they not ^oriy
teach one to read but especial stress
is laid on speaking foreign ,, langu-

who instruct in the upper schools.

works a few months a year -on some o

himself, the , whole country. will. take
an enoenrous '•stride 'forward ' and Cin -

The School House of ,No. 5,
'Opened on Monday, is the
• 4th New School in Hullett
• Withinywo Years.
• On Monday the children of S. S.
No. 5, Hullett, moved from their
old school to their beautiful new
school on the gravel road a mile and
a quarter south of Loadesboro. The
occasion was celebrated by a large
nunaher of ratepayers who ;met in
the new school house and listened to
addresses by the Inspector, Dr.
Field, " Rev. Mr. Reid, Mr. Jam&
Snell and Mr. James Campbell. Oth-
ers contributed songs and recitations
while a generous and tasty lunch
was served by the ladies.
• The school is of white brick with •
red trimmings over a stone base -
merit ; it is beautifully finished in
Georgia pine and is provided with
the mest -,Jpproved accomodations.
The ratepayers are justly proud of
their school in the building of which
Trustees Snell and Fear deserve par-
ticular credit.
This makes four new schools for
the township within two years, a
record hardly likely to be surpassed
by any in the Province.
It . is over fifty years since the
first schoolhouse was erected in No.
5, which .was the a much larger sec-
tion than it is now, part of it be-
ing now in Summerhill section arid
part in Hill's, on the 11)th con.
The ground for- this first School
was given by Mr. Thomas Fear, of
the 8th con., who is the only rate-
payer now living in the section who
was a ratepayer when the first; school
was opened. Me. Fear is now over
ninety yeiiis of age and still takes
a keen interest in affairs. His son,
Mr. Wm. Fear, who is one of the
present trustees, has been overseer
of the new building and has shown
himSelf to be painstaking and thor-
oughgoing.
The • first teacher in No. 5 was a
Mr. Tisdale, who . hoarded- at Mr.
Humphrey Snell's and walked to the
school.. When this school was at its
best the average attendance during
the winter months used to number
about one hundred and fifteen schol-
ars. The mumher now on .the roll
is about fifty but the average at-
tendance is very Much smaller.
Among those who received theie
start towards an education • in this
school were the members of the
Snell family, including Mr. James
Snell ; the 1VIcCools, the MeIlveens,
the Gorrells, the Voddens and Maks,
Among those who attended school
there and who are now resident in
Clinton are : ,iVirs. Joha Warren, Miss
McCool, Mrs. Watt and Miss Jennie
Thompson,
*r. Joseph Habkirk was the se-
cond teacher engaged after the form-
ing of. the section and a;umng those
who followed later were Mr. J. H,
Lowery, now of North Bay, who
taught there for Years and who was
one of the best teachers, the school
ever had, a Mr., Standish, T and Mr.
A. F. Johns, now of Toronto. The
present teacher in Miss McEwan of
Clinton, who has been in charge for
three 'years.- - Immediately , preceding
her was Miss Jenkins,

ing About Invites Tragedy.
',Throw up your hands, Daddy,''
and as Irene McDowell, 10 years ot
age, eldest .'distighter of Harry Me -
Dowell,, westlield, East Wawanosh
Township, pulled the trigger of the
revolver she was holding, the one
remaining live cartridge exploded, the
bullet lodging in the father's blrea:,-.4
beMw the heart. This occurred at
6 o'clock Sunday night. 1 -tarry Mc-
Dowell died at'6.12' &crock lVtonday
morning, just 12 hotirs 1aer. Ilte was
more or -less :consciolls` until death
came'. •' .
The story is•: • .
On Saturday night Harry Mc-
Dowell, a widower of East Wawan-
osh Township, went coon hunting.
He took a revolver with him. In his
hunting five of the cartridges •were
fired.. One remained. •
7 -le returned to his fathees home
to which place he had ta,'n his
three children prior to going after
coons. The children were brought
home, McDougall took the revolver
out of his pocket, placed it on the
table, forgetting to remove the live
shell. He went upstairs to clean up.
Arriving downstairs shortly after-
wards and 'entering the room in
which the children and ,the revolver
were be was "held urt" Irene, his
eldest daughter, had picked up the
loaded grin and as her father entered
the- room aroinited it at him, COM -
,mantling : "Throw, • up your hands,
'Daddy." Benito he had time tci ex-
postulate the- girl pulled the trigger.
MeDmeell• dropped to the floor, a
thin stream of •blood trickling from
the wound. Medical aid was sum-
moned. Dr. Weir, of :Aelburn, • ar-
rived, but could :do nothing. The
father died at 6 o'clock Monday
morreng.
Coroner Dr. Milne, of Blyth, decid-
ed that no inquest was necessary as
t was an accident pure and simple.
• The mother; of children died
over a year ago and the regrettable
accident has left them orphans.
•lihe funeral took place on Wednes-
day:
