Matriculation Exams 'Clinton School Report The I3oard and Not the Education Department Held Responsible The \ Department of Education and the various Provincial univer- sities -concerned have made a few changes in the wording of the reg- gulations governing the matricu- lation examinations, "The object of these modifiaa- tione," said the Minister of Educa- tion, "is to make clearer the fact that the Martieulation board and not the departraent, is responsible for these examinations. The de- partment simply places its machin- ry for holding examinations at the disposal of the Mlitiiculation board and the luniversities," These new modifications in no way effect the subjects presented for examina- tion; they simply make clearer the whole responsibility of the Matri- culation board, and also the com- position of the board. It consists of four members appointed by tha Senate of the University of Toronto two by Queen's and one each by Western and McMaster universities. Gel MC -kg 11 rays ELLIOTT. Dispensing Chemist.

My friend, have you heard of the town of Yawn OD the banks of the River Slow Where (blooms the waitaWhile flower fair, Where the sometimeorother scents the air, And the soft Goeasys grow? [By C. Mortimor Ilezzo.] --- Today while looking throug4i some papers athe writer found an Honor Card which he received from the Clinton Model School When a boy attendingthat institution. The. card is.dated .February 6,1880, ; is signed by D. M. Malloch, Principal, and countersigned by Miss ' M. Rogers, Teacher. What a fountain of memories that card unfolded. My mind first went back to the old Ontario Second Reader and the poem entitled Twenty Years Ago and how to my childish mind the period of time that must elapse before I could talk of "twenty years ago" seemed a time without end.- But the twenty years and many more have come and gone, and looking hack - ward the time has been short enough and passed all too quickly. Then my mind passed on to the two names signed to the card. Mr. Malloch resigned the principalship Soon alter the date of the card and became School inspector, which, position he held for about ten years. I have often thought of "Sammy" as we boys nicknamed him and his rawhides. Re had a number of them ranging in length from fifteen inches to about four feet. I remember once when some of us boys had done something we ought not to have done he stood us in a row with our hands held out in front, saying that he would punish us all together. Taking out his bundle of rawhides he selected one and held it along side the row of hands to see if it would reach from one end to the other, The first one being too short he tried another hntil he found one that would reach. By this time we were all thoroughly frightened, and having accomplished his purpose he gave us a warning and let us go, Miss [Rogers was a teacher very well liked by most of the pupils. She too resigned shortly after and I have never heard of her since. Contemporary with these two teachers were two others well known to many of the present generation, 1, e. Miss O'Neil and Miss Field. The former taught school until a very few years ago and was on the whole one of the most successful teachers the Clin- ton Model School ever had, In those days many of the pupils dreaded (the thought of being Promoted into her room ; but that fear was not justified by any except the evil doers. Miss FieJ' resign- ed shortly after the •': e of thiF, card perhaps a year or two and be- came the wife 05 311', Brown of the Huron Road, She too was a very successful teacher, and although some feared her only the evil doer had occasion to do so. She tried to become acquainted with the dis- position of the different pupils and I have reason to know that she succeeded. When the writer first went into her room he was one of the bad boys of her, class. She made an honest effort to reform me without being severe, and I made an honest effort to meet her wishes that respect -although, perhaps far too often my mischief making 1 propensity got on top. ••••••••••••••••••••• • • WITH TELP.

Who of the rising generation know that the present geniel chief of police wa5 one day the champion sprinter of these ports. Yet such is the case and I have no doubt that he could make a good showing even yet if called upon to do so, And joe coulcl not only run but he could. play marbles. I remember when as a youngster going to. school I would see the burley form of Joe Wheatley at the old G. T.R. station with his pockets full of "clobbers" wiling away the time until .the train would come in play- ing marbles. How us youngsters envied his luck; Gee 1 but he could shoot straight. Never miss a shot. These are only a few drops from the fountain that was stirred to its very depths by that very insigni- ficant looking little card. Far too often teachers pass out of our schools after having spent years of anxious effort in molding the mind and character of children, leaving upon them the impress oi their own character without ever knowing to what extent they have succeeded in guidieg thein aright. In after years we are apt to for- get I what we owe to those who helped to naake us what we are. And if we do not forget we are all to slow to express our appreciation Then there came to my mind the names of many who were my school mates. T. B. Gibbings, now Mayor of Clinton Millie Andrews, who is now the wife of Mayor Gibbings was not a pupil at that time, but she came one Friday afternoon as a "visitor." She was a very small tot then.
