1hn•haiw11. barrister. .5 Sudbury, who
Is one of the MIIe..•xsflll exptq,ils of
the late 1)r. Strang:
DEAR EDITOR, -In reading today in
one of the Toronto dailies. 1 Nas grieved
to learn of the death of my old teacher,
Dr. Strang. All his students owe him a
debt of gratitude which can never be
repaid, and all will feel a personal sense of
loss.
In a recent article in the Toronto Uni
versify Monthly on Dr. Cody. the new
Minister of Education, Profesanr Hutton,
after describing the brilliant career of Dr.
Cody at college and In the church. dis-
cusses the subject of education in Ontario,
and uses these words: "Ontario has en-
joyed some devoted and apostolic teach-
ers. like Dr. Strang and Mr. Lyman Smith
and the late Mr. Luton and others: and
occasionally ohe reads how their pupils
gather from all parts of the continent to
celebrate their jubilee: and generations
arise to call them blessed. But it s un-
deniable. 1 th.nk. that the most energetic
and ambitious spirits are carried else-
where. What can a Minister of Education
do. to fill the profession with the old type
of Scotch dominie and to give the profes-
non ihr halo of respect, even reverence,
with which an earlier generation. both
in Scotland and in Ontario, surrounded
that grey head ""
-• Dr, Strang's students were, i am sure,
pleased with Professor Hutton's just and
graceful compliment to their old teacher.
i always felt that he resembled so much
in character and in devotion to his work '
the fine type of the English headmaster I
and Scotch dominie, who contributed so.�
much to higher education in England and
Scot land.
