in charge, assisted by Mr. R. M. Mc-

of ,Glanford and Miss Eleanor 1Watt
of Toronto looking after the home

Equalized Assessment—
the general assembly has 'granted
more diplomas to :patella in this
school for repeating the shorter .cate-
chism correctly than Probably in any
other in Ontario. Mr, Baird was sup-
erintendent of this Sunday school' un-
til his death. It is still oontinued.
As indicative of his love of learn-
ing it can be told that ,he secured'
first-class certificate standing under
the new regulations though he did
not need 'to do so and •for .abetter
understanding of the Scriptures he
studied.'Greek and Hebrew,
Towards the end of his long career
in Schaal he was teaching the grand
children of his first pupils. To all 'he
was affectionately 'knows' as "The
Master." Of a quiet, reserved and
lovable disposition and yet so • hon
est in his convictions that he was ,of-
ten made the arbitrator of little dis-
putes among the people and his view
of a question always accepted. As
township auditor 'he continued in of-
fice until his failing eyesight forced
him to refuse the appointment any
longer.
As meteorological agent for the de-
partment his reports were most care-
fully made. In fact the authorities
Often gave him unstinted praise for
his careful and methodical work.
For probably 30 years or more he
led and held services for a 'band of
worshippers in • Brucefield who pre-
ferred to have him_ do so every Sun-
day morning,
How he continued to be so active-
ly engaged in so' many fields and ac-
complished so much in his long and
busy life without a breakdown in his
health was a puzzle to all who knew
hint. Probably the reasons for this
are to be found in the facts that he
was a farmer as well es a teacher,
that he lived two and a half miles
front his school, a distance he walked
night and morning; to these we must
add ,that he was the possessor of a
calm and serene assurance that be
was . one of God's children whose
purpose in life was to help others.
Today his remains and those of his
good wife lie at rest in Baird's Cem-
etery among those of scores of his
old pupils and of the early pioneers.
One ,on, William, is a teacher in To-
ronto; two are successful farmers in
Saskatchewan, and George occupies
the old homestead in Stanley.

section was large and populous and he
