Wingham High ih School
The formal opening of Wingham
High School for the terra 1907.8, held
in the Opera souse on friday even-
ing, met the highest expectations of
those interested in the success of the
institution.
'Though the School has only been
established one year, its remarkable
success has forced it into provincial
prominence, It was therefore thought
well to have the opening of the term
of a public character,
The Opera House was filled to the
doors, and though 200 extra chairs
bad been added to the seating accom-
modations, scores were standing. Dr.
Wilson, Chairman of the Board, pre-
sided. •
The intention had been to have the
certificates presented by the resident
ministers, ' i t
ers but thiswas omitted on
account of the lengthy program, as
well as the calling to the platform, of
the .Entrance class of 30, all of whom
were successful and 20 obtained hon-
ors, which is a, splendid record for the
Public School. Rev, D. Perrie was
assigned the duty of addressing the
Entrance class. The other candidates
were called to the platform, in the
following -order, and words of counsel
and congratulations addressed to them
by the resident ministers, as follows :
Form I -By. Rev. Fr. Laurendeau.
Form II -By Rev, W. G. Howson.
Junior Leaving and Junior Matricula-
tion -By Rev. Ii. E, Allen.
Senior Leaving -By Rev, T. S. Boyle.
Scholarship -Wm, Argo, the winner
of the double Edward Blake Scholar-
ship in Science was addressed by Dr.
Strang of Goderich, who spoke at
same length. He brought with him
the good wishes of Goderich. Collegiate
Institute. He congratulated the pu-
pilss the teachers and the Town on
the marvellous success obtained, but
warned them that they could not al-
ways reap so plentifully ; there would
be lean years. He paid a high compli-
ment to Principal Taylor, one of his
H
pupils of bygone years. e impressed
two things on the Scholarship winner.
lst-Be careful of your health while
pursuing the University course. 2nd
-To be broad. Science is not every-
thing..
Mr. Argo, the Scholarship winner,
then read the Valedictory. It was
well composed, and was read with dis-
tinct enunciation and expression. It
gave evidence of the talent that this
bright young student, has been en-
dowed with. The effort was indeed a
most creditable one.
Mrs. S arling-Homuth and Miss
Sperling then rendered a piano duet.
Miss Marjorie Gordon then read, in
a clear, distinct voice, a well-prepared
complimentary address to Wni. Argo,
from the pupils of Wingham High
School This was followed by a simi-
lar address to Mr. Argo from the High
School Board, read by Dr. Macdonald.
Mr. C. Baer thea favored the audi-
ence with a, solo ; he was recalled and
responded.
Mr. J. P. Downey, M. P. P., was the
next speaker. He was the bearer of
the congratulations of the Minister of
Education to Wingham High School,
on the marvellous success of its pupils.
He questioned if a more magnificent
spectacle could be seen in Ontario
than had been witnessed here this
evening. The people of Wingham
and the Board haduil
b de better b tter than
they thought. He had had the plea-
sure of going through the High School
and did not know of any more com-
plete. Any body of men, whether
municipal orprovincial,
that neglects
education of the people, does a posi-
tive wrong. A glance over the world
-+, shows that those countries where edu-
cation is neglected are ou the decline.
The speaker compared the log school-
house of the past without equipment,
with the edifices of to -day, with their
inaps, globes, apparatus, etc. Yet the
teachers of those early days built up
men of sturdy character and renown.
He: dvised the pupils to cultivate self -
r +ee. There is a place for every
i if he is true to himself, hP will
find it. Mr. Downey closed an excel-
lent address with a fine poetical quo-
tation.
After a solo by G. W. Cline, Dr.
Chisholm, M. P., gave a brief address.
He congratulated the pupils on their
setccoss, and considered this a red-
letterdaywith the parents, pupils and
the audience. The success attained
was evidence of brain -power. Wing -
ham is the training ground for leaders
of thought and action in the future.
The privileges of to -day were uvonder
fell, when compared with the days
when teachers boarded round among
their pupils, Young men now can, in
a few years, get an education worth
more than a l6,000 farm. He wished
the school and teachers continued
success.
A solo by Miss W. Alba Chisholm
was well received, and Areh. Hislop,
M.P.P. followed with a few words on
the general topic, education.
Principal Musgrove was the next
speaker, and is credited with "the
speech of the evening." The hour
was late, yet the audience listened
with great attention, and his remarks
were received with applause. Evi-
dently the Principal of our Public
School struck a popular chord. He
reminded the audience that all was
not to be credited to the High School ;
there was •a Public School, that for
Years had been laying the foundations
do
ns
of present achievement.
Many of
these pupils hacl during the years he
had taught in Wingham, passed from
.the first class upward. Hence his
pleasure at seeing them meet with so
much success. The aim of the Public
and High Schools should be to develop
CITIZENSHIP. If only scholarship re-
sulted, there would be failure, for the
educated scoundrel is the greatest
scoundrel. The Public School was
valuable for several reasons
1 -It taught the child to submit to
constituted authority.
2 --It taught him, that others had
rights as well as himself.
3 --It developed habits of application,
4 -It taught morality by concrete ex-
ample.
5 -It is the duty of the State to edu-
cate the people. This costs
money, but it pays. If the Public
and High School of our town were
closed for a few years, neither life
nor property would be safe. All
teachers, whether in Public or
High School, Sunday School and
kindred efforts contributed to the
public safety. We are not edu-
cating other people's children, but
protecting ourselves.
The speaker then referred to the
Northwest Mounted Police, as the
"thin red line." There was another
"line" of protection, the 12,000 teach-
ers, who were a moral police force do-
ing faithful duty. He would ask the
pupils, what they proposed to give in
return for what had been expended in
their behalf, and closed an excellent
address with words of wise counsel.
The repeated_ applause that followed
Mr. Musgrove's. address amounted to
au ovation, showing the popularity of
the teacher that has so faithfully pre-
sided. over Wingham Public School
for so many years.
W. H. Kerr was then asked to ad-
dress the audience, but declined on ac-
count of the lateness of the hour.
A well rendered solo by Miss Chis-
holm, and the National Anthem closed
the interesting exercise of the even-
ing.
THE BANQUET.
At the conclusion of the exercises
in the Town Hall, a banquet was held
at the National hotel, where the host
and hostess provided an excellent re-
past, which was served in the custom-
ary good style of the National, and
without confusion.
Principal Taylor performed the
duties of Toastmaster, and proposed
"The King." Response -the National
Anthem.
em.
"The Dominion Parliament" was
proposed by Dr. T. Chisholm, M. P.
He was followed by Dr. Macdonald
and Arch. Hislop.
"The Provincial Legislature" was
supported by Warden Currie, J. P.
Downey, M. P. P., and W. H. Kerr of
Brussels.
A solo by G. W. Cline was then ren-
dered.
"The Learned Professions"'was pro-
posed by Rev. T. S. Boyle. For the
ministerial, Rev. Fr. Laurendeau re-
sponded ; for the medical, Drs. Red-
mond, Agnew and Bethune.
"The High School Staff" was the
next toast, coupled with the names of
Principal Taylor, Principal Musgrove,
Dr. Strang and Geo. Spotton.
"The Press" was represented, but
its representatives kindly withheld
the pent-up eloquence burning within,
on account of the approaching dawn
of day.
"The Host" was proposed by Princi-
pal Taylor, and responded to by Mr.
Hanson.
Thus closed the interesting com-
mencement exercises of the second
year of Wingham 'High School.

Wedded On Wednesday.
At 12,80 on Wednesday, a marriage
ceremony graced the home of Mr,
and Mrs, Jas. Walker, when their
second daughter, Miss Jennie, became
the bride of Alvie Fleming. The cere-

cheon, the happy couple left on the
afternoon train. The bride's going -
away dress was of navy blue trimmed
with tan, with hat to match, The
guests left behind them a number of
handsome and useful gifts. On their
return from the wedding trip, the
young couple will take up their resi-
Bence on Francis street.
A Serious Runaway.
A terrific runaway occurred Iast
week. Mr. George Hanna of Morris
township was in town, with a horse
and buggy.• Something frightened the
animal and he ran down Josephine
street and along the Belgrave road,
turning on to the 2nd line of Morris.
When the railway track was reached
the horse turned clown the track, and
in attempting to cross the railway
bridge near Mr. Casernore's, the ani-
mal fell with its iegs through the
bridge, with the buggy stilt attached,
Mr. Casemore hearing the noise, went
to investigate, and found the horse in
the condition stated. He went back
to the barn for a rope, and during his
absence the horse made a plunge,
throwing itself and the buggy over
the side of the bridge. As there was a
drop of thirty-four feet to the ground,
the wonder is that the animal was not
killed, but it was able to walk home.
The buggy could not have been im-
proved by the ordeal through which it
passed.
Mrs. Crowston Deceased.
After several years of severe trial
and affliction, Mrs. W. Crowston
passed froma world, where there is
much of sorrow, to a better and
brighter, home. During the past seven
years, Mrs. Crowston had suffered
much, for four attacks of paralysis
left her a constant invalid. A short
time ago, the last stroke brought her
near to death's door, and on Sunday
last, she passed away, aged 45. Her
maiden name was Margaret Ann Es-
tella McLean, and she was a daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Laughlin McLean of
town. She was born in Lower Town
in 1802, and in 1886 was united in
marriage to Wm. Crowston. ' r o
them were born two daughters (now
deceased) and one son, Roy, of To-
ronto. Married life for her had its
disappointments and sorrow, for her
husband has a been tohe es
t west for
0
years and did not even see her in her
last illness. For some years past, she
had resided with her parents, from
whose home of late years, the dark
cloud of affliction has seldom been
lifted. Such experiences make one
long for the land where "the inhabi-
tahts never say -I ant sick." The
funeral took place on Tuesday, her
pastor, Rev. D. Perrie, conducting the
service, The deceased had been a
member of the Presbyterian Church
since her childhood.
To Central Prison.
The excitement caused during the
past two or three weeks by repeated
cases of parties breaking into houses
and stores, reached a climax on Friday
morning, When time for opening up
came, it was found that the drug store
of P. H. Walley, and the hardware
stores of H. Bishop and Alex, Young
had been entered, and goods stolen.
The drug store had been entered by
way of the cellar, and the door leading
into the front shop had been cut away
to allow the large glass in it to be re-
moved, and through this opening the
thieves found their way into the store.
They took what they wished, and se-
cured about $5 in cash. From Mr,
Bishop's hardware they took knives,
razors, etc., as they felt inclined. At
Mr. Young's they helped themselves
to a double barreled shot -gun, some
silver spoons, table cutlery and other
things. For some time past it had
been suspected that the guilty party
or parties were eat far from the ortbusi-
ness rless n n a i
to f the town, and suss
s
picion fell on Murdoch McLeod, who
had been seen around after the mid-
night hour on more than one occasion.
A search -warrant was obtained and
some of the goods found on his pre-
mises. Chief Allen placed him under
arrest. and on Saturday he cause be-
fore Pollee Magistrate Morton, and

Death Of Mrs, Lloyd.
Mrs, (Chas.) Lloyd, for many years
a respected resident of Wingham,
passed away an Friday last, in her
71st year. She bad suffered much for
some years past with rheumatism,
and about two weeks prior to her
death other complications set in, but
her sufferings were borne with Chris-
tian patience and resignation. Her
maiden name was Ann McIntosh, and
she was born in Chambly, Que., in
1836. When she was quite young, her
parents moved to Fort Erie, thence to
London, and later to Pine River,
where her parents died, She then re-
sided with an aunt in London, where
in 1855, she married Asa Dayton.
They moved to Burr, where Mr. Day-
ton died, leaving her with five child-
ren. After fourteen years residence
in Burr, she removed to Kincardine,
where she resided with her brother,
Richard McIntosh, and in I872 came
to Wingham. Two years later, she
was married to the late Chas, Lloyd,
who passed away about eight years
ago. To them were born three child-
ren, George, of New York, J. Winni-
fred Y., of Wingham, and Annie
Olivia deceased. From her first mar-
riage there remain two daughters and
one son, Mrs. 0. N. Griffin of Wing -
ham, Mrs. John Buchanan of Toronto,
and James in California. Of Mrs.
Lloyd's first fatuity, there remain Al-
bert E. of Wingham, Walter and
William, and Miss Lou, all in Cali-
fornia. Mrs. Lloyd was a devoted
Christian, and faithful in her attend-
ance upon the Church services as long
as health permitted. Her devotion
found fields of activity in more than
one department of Church work. By
her co-workers, the Church generally,
and the entire community, she was
held in highest esteem, She was laid
to rest in a handsome casket bedecked
with floral tributes of affection and
esteem, and on Sunday afternoon the
remains were borne to their last rest-
ing place in Wingham cemetery.
Rev. W. G. Howson conducted the
service.
