Little of the 'Font' Dover "Public School, has tend- ered .his resignation to the local Board of .Education, and already advertise- ments are running in The Glolie for applications . to fill the vacancy. As Princip'al of the public school Mr. Little has been unstinting in his en- deavors to interest his pupils in their work,and the success achieved in the number writing Entrance exams. speaks veryhighly of 'Mr. ^ Lrttle's capabilities, He has certainly won the conlfidence of the pupils, and the youngsters and the teaching staff, while expressing regret at his 'leaving, will wish him unbounded sweets in 'his• new ,position. Mr. Little has se- cured a position on th•e\s'taff of the Institute for the Blind, at Brantford. "It was pointed out that when the. salary outs were made in June the salary of Mr. Little' was reduced only 'fifty dollars anld would no doubt', have (been reduced` by a larger percentage had not Mr. ;Li'ttle's outstanding ser- vices been taken into consideration. It was felt by the board at that time that in W. H. Little the Port Dover Board .of lEdu!cation had a teacher of outstanding merit and albility. That Mr. 'Little inspired his pupils with a determination to put forth their best efforts at all times and to give their utmost to their work on examina- tion day, wasa characteristic of his love of his :chosen profession. Mem- bers of the 'Board paid tribute to his efficient manner and to the success achieved during Mr. Little's term as pninoipal, He got along admirably well with the board, with his teaching staff, and with the pupils generally. Not .one '• single closnlp'Iaint had been heard against him, and the Board, in accepting his resignation with' regret, extended to him their best wishes for his future success and 'happiness. ,That e would climb todizzyheights in his chosed •prolfes'sion was the concensms of all present, for Mr. 'Little is 'pains- taking in his work and kindly" and courteous to -everyone.' • • The WEDDING GIFT of today is' the HEIRLOOM of tomorrow O WEDDING GIFT is valued more than some. fine old family heirloom, passed down.. through generations. It may be delicate china, a flashing jewel, or age-old silver, but to the bride, it is priceless because it symbolizes the traditions of her ancestors. The wedding gift you choose today may be- come the heirloom of future generations. So no matter what you pay, select a gift whose beauty will last through the years. ' The wedding gifts we're showing are the kind that no bride would think of exchanging—ever.
