were Punctual ttalle. hour and arrived
early in the forenoon.. During the
day each of the visiting teachers was
called upon to teach allesson, and each
promptly responded and gave ample
evidence of their ability. Just here
space might be -taken to congratulate
the different Sections upon having in
their employ, such able and energetic
teachers* Long before the time for
dinner arrived the benches and tables
In the -basement were. coveted -witb

assault was made upon the, baskets.
The kind-hearted ladies who brought
them must have felt highly flattered
indeed as they saw with whakrelish
the good things they had provided
were eaten. After dinner was over
ana the people had been given a short
time for social chat, the teacher's bell
again sounded and all repaired to the
class -room. Again the teaching born-
inenced, and Dr. Hothans, our Village
physician, favored us with •a lessen on
"Digestion," taken , with the fctirth
classes. This lesson, as well as the
Ohara, was highly interesting, and the•
answers given by all the pupils in all
the classes show clearly that the child-
ren in this Section muet be of more
than the average intelligence, and that
their teacher, Me Weir, must be thor-
oughly in sympathy: vvith his work and
with his pupils to give them such clear
Ideas upon all the subjects taught.
The teaching was finished about 2.80
p.m., and then all !got ready to enjoy
the program which had been prepared.
During the afternoon a large number
from Harlock Section, vvbet Mr Weir
had previously taught, showed their
esteem for him by attending the exam-
