BUSINESS EDUCATION;
The success of tbemajority cf the
Business Colleges in Ontario at
least is a good indication of the
demand for practical education
and should prompt our authorities
to give more attention to this par-
ticular work in our public and High
schools. Wel earn on good auth-
ority that one prominent Business
College -The Central Business Col-
lege of Toronto -enrolls annually
more than fifteen hundred stud-
ents, and that it never has any_grad
uates out of employment. Indeed.
we are told many business firms
find much difficulty in (securing
the necessary well trained assist -
fully, and that they are now com-
pelled to look totheBusiness Col-
leges 'almost exclusively to .supply
their requirements. A • business
education is a very safe guarantee
of a (good salary in these times of
commercial activity. • .

Gunne. is the son of. the late Rev.
'John Gunne, who was appointed to
•Florence, and parts adjacent. in
1845. His parish then included
Wardsville. Glencoe, Newbury,,Kent
Bridge,. v' s
B g , Al rn ton and other. paints.
Gradually new parisheswere forme
ed, leaving at last.,the present par
ish of Florence and Aughrim... At
Florence a large frame church was
erected, and was in time succeeded.
by thepresent. brick church, both
p d ,
erected under Mr.Gune s n minis-
try.
inis-try. and the first church in Augh-'
aIm' tvasalso built under his foster-
ing care. Mr. Gunne . ,was a keen
and competent educationalist, •antic
was appointed superintendent of
' common schools in 1850, in the towr
ships of Camden, Euphemia, Mesa,
Ekfrideete., We are not surprised
therefore; tolearn that one of his
sons, Rev. Charles Gunne, now rec-
tor of Christ church ;London, has
has been an ardent educationlist.
has ing. been headmaster of Mark-
ham high school professor of Cali-
fornia university, and recently
chairman of Clinton school 'boars,
nor are we surprised that the other
son, Rev. J. M. ,Gunne has rolled up
a long record of useful,. faithful ser.
N leo in the'ministry, luring his
time St. James thumb, Wanstead,
the Wyoming parish hall, and the
Wyoming rectory were erected and
Christ church, Camlachie, and St.
John's church, Wyolning,, were re-
stored, Rev. J. M. 'Glenne was born
in 1800, and Was barely 23 years of
age When ordained deacon in 1883,
being the youngest deacon ordain-
ed up to that time in the diocese.
Ile entered Ilelhnuth college, Lon-
don, in 1877,won Lord Dufferin's.
medal for mathematics in 1878, and
first prize for Latin in 1880. In that
year he passed into Huron college
to prepare for the ministry, and.
graduated in 18811, being ordained
deacon in 1883, and priest in 1884,
Ile Was appointed in 1883 to Ker -
wood, Brooke, and Metcalfe, where
he remained for two years, until
' .invited to Wyoming in 1885.. Wher
:ewer he has labored he has -von the
respect and love of all clauses and
creeds, and no doubt a large circle
of friends and acquaintances will
feel a personal interest in the cot
pletion of Mr. Guam's quarter een
jury in Wyoming, and will desire
to have some share in the Worthy
celebration of the event, We be-
speak a fitting recognition of his
splendid week in the Christianmin-
