School Days At Seaforth'Collegiate (Continued from Page 1) back to school until they pro- duced the required specimens. That afternoon they sallied forth after school hours to in- vade all the ponds and rivers around the town. Nothing daunted by the fact that they had to wade into cold water up to their knees, each and every student captured a frog and had it ready the next day. I am told the population of frogs around Seaforth has never re- covered. Became Deputy Minister I became much better ac- quainted with Dr. Rodgers sev- , eral years later when he was Deputy Minister of Education.' tors ever really approved this method, but it worked and Mr. IRoss had very—few failures. His assistant. in the Science Department was Mr. Hazen. He was a modest, genial, industri- ous soul who was thoroughly at home in the subject of chemis- • try and biology. But once,in a timetable shuffle, he had the bad luck to be assigned the'job of teaching us a subject called -mechanics," which was the forerunner of what is now known as --"problems." Mr. Haz- en did his best and struggled manfully with the abstract problems of the text, but he was always about a week or two behind the best students in his class. On several occasions one or other of these students had to go to the blackboard to help him out with his difficul- ties, an,¢f he always seemed , grateful rather than emba)i'- rassed. Suck was the measure of the man. If, while in Seaforth, he had temporarily donned the mantle of a stern Scottish dominie, he had discarded it completely by the time he became a civil serv- ant at Queen's Park. There his image was that of a far-sighted, wise and efficient administrator. Dr. Rodgers, however, still re- tained., some, of the old daunt- lessness, for be was one of the few senior civil servants to stand up to the unpredictable but colorful Premier Mitchell Hepburn and to survive the en- counter. While teaching at this Collegiate, he married a Sea - forth girl (Miss Stevens), and until his death he retained a fond interest in the town, the Collegiate Institute and his for- mer students. Dr. Rodgers was followed by Mr. MacKay, who served only a year or two. and then Mr. G. F. Ross took over as pilot of the good ship S.C.I. Because of his athletic prowess, his energy and outgoing friendliness, Mr, Ross was a popular choice. es- pecially with the boys: but he was a thorough convert to Dr. Rodgers' strong disciplinary methods. If the situation.called for such actibn, he too could shake a boy until his -teeth rat- tled" and he )lad no hesitation in bringing a long yardstick down sharply on a miscreant's knuckles... On one memorable occasion, a poor misguided teen- ager thought it would liven up the school if he dropped a light- ed firecracker down the stair- well from the lop of the second floor. This happened during the latter part of the noon hour just when Mr. Ross. corning back from his lunch. opened the front door and entered the school. As luck would have it, the firecracker descended upon his shoulder just a second be- fore exploding. Like lightning, Mr. Ross mounted both sets of stairs, seized the petrified young man, hauled him down the stairs by the scruff of his neck, and after administering a few real clouts around the head and shoulders, pitched him out the front door. That probably ended the academic career of that young hopeful. Mr. Ross died at a comparatively early age of a heart attack. and I have often wondered if there might not have been some con- nection between his untimely end and the day he sped like lightning up the stairs. Very Few Failures Mr. Ross had a marvellous gift for remembering names. In later years I met him at infre- quent intervals before he died, but never once did he hesitate before calling me by both city surname and Christian name. During his Seaforth sojourn, he developed a unique method of teaching his subject—mathema- tics. In the school year, he covered the complete curricu- lum three times, each time at break -neck speed. From Septem- ber to Decethber we went over it once. It is true he did not understand much of the subject matter, but on the first run- through we only did the easiest questions at the ,end of each chapter. The fact that we could do them gave us confidence. In the period January to March, we covered the text again, do- ing the problems of medium dif- ficulty; then ,in preparation fbr the Jtme "eXaminations, we re- viewed it all once again and this tinge Ave were ready for the really hard problems. I doubt if the high school inspeo- Our Latin and Ancieift His- tory instructor was Miss Mc - 1 Kinley. In those days Latin was a compulsory subject for ev eryone and all who sat in her iclasses received a thorough grounding in Latin verbs, nouns, adverbs and adjectives. She was a past master hi the art of driving Latin conjugations into unreceptive minds through Iconstant drill. Miss McKinley never experienced any trouble whatsoever in managing her classes. If any student dared to let his mind wander to the anticipated pleasures of a party on the following Friday 'night, or to the green fields which flowed right to the dtior of the school building, a few well- chosen words from her aimed in his direction brought him sharply back with.an amazingly renewed vigor to the taskat hand. Our Modern Language teach- er was Miss Murray-, who was a pretty. gentle, feminine per- son. But it often happens that boys do not fully appreciate gentleness and womanliness in a teacher and there were times when some of her students were not exactly models of deport- ment. Her teaching career end- ed very happily when she mar- ' ried the principal, Mr. Ross. In those days French was never regarded as a living language. We learned (to the best of our ability) French grammar and French composition, including some of the idioms, but few ,attempts were made to pro- nounce the words. To this day I hesitate to say even "madame" in French. English was taught by Miss Allan, a kindly, generous wo- man who glived in an era be- fore anyone paid any attention to diets. Her very proportions commanded respect and atten- tion. • She sat at the teach- er's desk in front of the class, she exuded a benign at- mosphere. As was the custom at that time, we de -coded and dissected fore and aft the works of poor Mr. Shakespeare.
