Morris. Among the successful candidates of Wingham High School, who wrote at the recent Junior Teachers' examina- tion for entrance into the Normal Schools, we are pleased to note the success of three ex -pupils of S. S. No. 5, Morris. We refer to Miss Ruby Clegg, who after an absence of over four years from school previous to en- tering High School, has maintained a high standing in all her examinations throughout the different terms. Her sister, Irene, was one of the only two students of Wingham who obtained honois in the final, The third student is Miss Lizzie Ferguson, who was the youngest in the form. It is seldom a child so young in years has the honor of _ securing a Teacher's certificate. Collectively, this is an excellent show- ing for the girls, all three having com- pleted the course in less than two and a half years. When the fact is taken into consideration that the examina- tions were of such a difficult nature that only 35 per cent, of the pupils of the province were successful, it goes to show that Wingbam High School can do excellent work when they get the material.
