The following from the Brandon 8 un will.be of interest to many of our readers, as Mr. Maxwell is - well and favorably known here, being a son of 'Robt. Maxwell, of the Bluevalo Road: "Oar esteemed townsmau, Mr, J. S. Maxwell, a member of the firm of Alexander, Kelly it Co , has been elected High Vice Chief Bringer of the District High Court for Man., N. W. T, and B. C., of the Canadian Order of For- esters. He returned from tho I). H. C. meeting at Winnipeg on Thursday's Pacific Express. The local subordinate court (Jubilee) held its reguler meeting that night. After the installation of a number of its officers, a committee appointed by the C. R. niet the High Vice Chief Ranger on the arrival of the train and escorted him to the court room, and a reply by„II, V. C. IL, 1 the court was closed and the brethren ad- journed to Oronard's where they entertain- ed the newly elected D. H. V. 0. B, to an oyster supner. Bro. A. P. VanSornnen, of Court Glenwood, Souris, a delegate to the IL D. C. meeting, was also the guest of t Court Jubilee on this occasion. The members of Court .Jubilee are ex- ceedingly well satisfied with the election of j Bro. Maxwell to this high and honorable ' office, and feel that it is an honor conferred I would therefore recommend as follows: 1. That a strongly worded memorial be prepared and sent to each of the comity Tnembers, at once, and that if necessary a delegate be sent down to interview the members. 2. That the Secretary draft a petition on the lines laid down by the Norwich Board, and have it forwarded to the Minister of Education. - 3. That citizens acquainted with any member of the House, be requested to write them, asking their co-operation and sup- port when the matter coiner; up in the House. As there are only three members of the House who beer- no High School in their districts it will be necessary to inter- est the other members in this matter. 4 That miring the next few months, united action be taken by the Boards of all schools in this county interested in this matter to have a delegation wait on the County Council at its June session to press upon the members their claims to n. liberal pnint. When it is borne in mind that • this county pays annually to the three high schools the sum of $4,500, and that we pay our share of this, surely we should expect from our tJounty Council the same liberal colisideration. A. II. Musioneye, Prin. Moved by C. N. Griffin, seconded by Chas. Barber, that tbe report of the Princi- pal on continuation class work in the Public School be received and that it be referred to the pniicipal and secretary to draw up a me:siorbil to the Minister of Education and the members of the Legis- lature for the county of Huron --Carried.
