The Lower School -Departmental Certificates which have --just been re- ceived show that fine success has at- tended the eifprts of the pupils of the lower schooY-and their teachers dur- ing -the past year. Some three hun- dred and twenty credits were granted to eighty-two candidates while three' candidates laded in one-subtject each: These results are gratifying as they indicate that the standards of effic- iency ;set by the -staff and attained by the pupils are higher than those re- quired by the Department -of Educa- tion. The receipt of, these certificates now makes it possible to issue a complete list of promotions from Form T. to *Form H. and from Form T1. to Form TIT: Where a subject ap- pears after a name it indicates that the pupil must take that subject dur- ingthe coining term.

Membersf + Highlanders o the i-Iighlan 1.rs Band and the Lions Club are working hard, paving the way. towards presenting a programme on the evening of Thurs- day, Aug. 19th,- excelling anything in its line and anything yet undertaken' by these organizations, The Tattoo, with seven bands present, -will un- donbtedly be a musical treat, especial- ly since there is included the Guelph Regimental Band, under the leader- ship' of Mr. Thos. Miller, conceded to be one of the best band leaders in Ontario. Press notices concerning 11Mr. Miller's work es a band leader, as also of the excellent quality of the Guelhp Band,'are very flattering in- deed. Special attention is being given to the fireworks display, and entirely new features will be introduced. This past of the programme will be given at intervals between the musical sec- tion, eonsequently there will -be no moments of yawning; from the lull- ing hush of sweetly rendered music, the spectator will he instantly trans- ported to the crashing crescendo of. the pyrotechnic display, Provision will be made for parking all cars in the Tattoo Grounds at the nominal price of 25c. No parking will be al- lowed",ole the streets adjacent to the Tattoo Grounds, except at those por- tions ]aid out as parking grounds by the Tattoo Committee and for which the above mentioned 25c charge y 11 be made. , e WINTHROP.

Mr. Hodgert was - in the house at the time. The barn was in a mass of flames in a few minutes and nothing could be done to save. ,it. About ten loads of hay, a few imple- ments, including a wagon, which was standing with a load of hay on the ,barn floor, a fanning mill, seed drill, and cutter were destroyed and also a few chicken's. 'The cause of the fire is unknown. Spectators of the fire marvelled at the manner in which the sturdy beams of the -barn resisted the flames for a long time after the. boards had been burned off them. The fire, coming at this season, was moat unfortunate.
