WIGS BOOTS AND SHOES SEAFORTH 1 LOSES FINE DOG. Mr. W, E. Kerslake's Police Dog Wantonly Shot. On Monday about dinner time Mr, W. E. Kerslake's . fine police dog dragged himself home and died a few minutes. later. The unfortunate -and- inai• had been shot through the heart, and frone' the appearance of the wound it seemed as if the rifle had been placed against the deg's body when the shot was fired. It is hard to imagine that, there is anyone in this neightborheied so utterly without feel- ing that he could wantonly shoot a splendid dog in cold blood, and yet apparently that must be the case. The dog was of as good disposition and was a great pet, He was last noticed around. home about eight o'clock in the morning; until he returned mort-' ally wounded at noon.

An old graduate of this Collegiate, one who has perhaps more sentiment- alassociations with theschool than most. people, characterized this -Insti- tute a ,few days ago as a diploma mill. To call a school a diploma mill is. not usually considered compliment- ary. But I am not concerned about com- pliments. .I ane concerned about facts. Arethere any facts that would justify a person who .has known the district well for many years in calling this school a diploma mill ? What anyway is a diploma mill ? The difference between a diploma mill and a real educational institu- tion is not necessarily a difference of curriculum, of staff, or of official standing. The difference is in spirit and pur- pose. In years gone by many concerns were incorporated in the United States with high sounding educational names which issued attractive ad- vertising, but which stressed di- plomas. The pupil could register, pay fees, and graduate without, attending classes or in many -cases without writ- ing examinations, or where examina- tions were written they were per- functory. The one aim of the student was to secure a diploma, The one aim of the institution was money, But the distinctive feature of the diploma mill always was and always will be that interest centres not on education but on the diploma, When I look over the examination records of a number of students who have qualified for diplomas, end ob- serve the long lists of subjects in which their standing has `been C, not even third class, but C, which means too often a bare 51 or 52 per cent. I cannot help wondering if some of these pupils in the past, and many ittore in attendance to -day have not been making this Collegiate a mere diploma mill I 'suspect there are a good many pupils in attendance to -day who count that effort lost which secures them a single marls above the disgracefully low requirements for a credit. The pupils. who make a school as distinct from a diploma mill are those who are interested first of alt in the broadening of knowledge, the de- velopment of character and of the power of personality that comes from the mastering of new departments of knowledge, the avercomi(;ng of diffi- culties, 'and the acquirement of habits of mental efficiency which will • bring then 'happiness wherever they may go.

A gloom was cast over our burg on the seventh inst, when it was learned that the angel of death had claimed Mr. Fred Koehler in his 70th year. He had been around as usual within half an hour before he passed away. Al- though not in the best of health of late he was always of a genial dispos- ition and a good neighbor and kind husband and father and was loved by all who knew him. With his passing one of the oldest threshers has gone. He started to assist his father at the age of twelve and has been on the job continuously from the open cylinder up to the modern tractor. His fune- ral took place last Friday amongst a large concourse of friends ,who gath- ered to show their esteem. The fune- ral was held from the Evangelical Church to the cemetery in the church yard, which adjoins his place and of which church he was a lifelong mem- ber. He is survived by his widow and two sons and four daughters, 'who have the sympathy of the whole com- munity in this their hour of sad af- fliction. Quite a number from here attended the McKillop, Logan and Hibbert Telephone Co. meeting on Wednes- day to hear the financial standing of the company which is in excellent condition.
