A YEAR IN AWARE Hih WINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL. Sc ool Formally Opened. If evidence were predation of the of and vicinity of the wanting of the ap• Peens of the town new High School building and the ex ellent work accom- plished by Principal Taylor and his staff of assistants in th first ten months of its existence, surel it was to be found in the magnifloen assemblage whioh convened in the Op ra House last Friday evening to wanes the formal opening ceremonies and the oinmencement exer- lases for the presen term, It was intended to have the opening upon the °omelet on of the building, early in the prese t year, but the diffi- culty of obtaining he presence of public speakers prevented this. It was fitting, however, that at e close of the first school year -a year in which unqualified success attended tiaa efforts of teachers and pupils -such a magnificent gathering should be held. And it is doubtful whether the citizei s of any other town in the province hake as great reason to feel elated at the marvellous results achieved as have nanked the advent of Wingham High Soldeol. • The meeting on Hriday evening was presided over by Mr. John Wilson, V. 5. chairmau of the Hig School Board, and on the platform era Messrs. J. P. Downey, M. P. P., A. Hislop, M. P P., Dr. T. Chisholm M. P , Mr. W. 11, Kerr, of Brassels, Dr. H. I.

S Bayle, Honor and Schola ship examination, Dr. H. L Strang, God rich. Dr. Strang, in addressing the y ring man, William Argo, who won au4h distinction in cap- turing the Edward Blake scholarships itt Science, made a o pital speech, and in closing gave the yo ng man some prac- tical advice in regard to the further purnuanoe of his st dies. Mr. Argo then d livered his valedic- tory, wbioh showed unmistakable evid- ence of much thou ht in preparation.

P., expressed his gratification at the advancement made along eduoation 1 lines, and offer- ed his sincere and hea ty congratulations on the success alread attained in con- nection with the Win ham High School. Mr. A. H. Musgrove principal of the Wingham Public So ool, delivered a splendid address. Te ()hers should aim at two things, so far s the student is concerned: scholarshi and citizenship. Among other things hioh the student received instruction 14t was obedience, unselfishness, application and morality. The speaker referred teachers as the great force in the land, and st ing for the edsioation of paying for the protec ioi tion affords. In addressi to the school t mo al polies ted that in pay - pupils, we are whioh educe - ng the students, Mr. Musgrove asked whet they were go- ing to give the State in rsturn for what they are getting? His address was in- tensely interesting and, practical, and listened to with the ke neat attention throughout. Vocal solos were rend ed during the evening by Miss W. Albj Chisholm, Mr. Geo. W.
