The hall was erowded and a good musical'progarm was put on before the address, which was delivered by the- Rev. S.• E."MeKegney,' The. president of the Ministerial Association, the Rev. C. "Llwellyn Bilkey, acted as chairman and the following; musical numbers were giv- en: -Two selections by the M. and,S. Violin Quartette, a trio by the Revs. C. Llwellyn Bilkey, D. N. McCamus and J. E. Hogg, a duet by Misses Helen Anderson and Nornna Tre- leaven t a solo' by Miss Marion Gib - binge ' and a chorus by ,the., junior members of the Public school and anothern' by the senior :members of the Public school. Nearly every' number' was enthusiastically encored and many responded. It was quite a„ pleasing program, and was Made up entirely of numbers f1 om local artists'' The speaker of the evening 'was the Rev. S E,' MglKegney,.who spoke on the "Development of the Commun- ity Spirit" Mr. bI•eKegney said he' wasvery glad, of the :opportunity of speaking to 'a Clinton ' audience. ‘Clinton, seems like hoine to me," he said,. tines 1 am always glad of ,an excuse to Gome,back to it." Mr. MoKegney said he wanted par-' tieularly to appeal to the , young people. • He said the young people- should remember that they were citizens of the British Empire, that their's was a great heritage, and. that they also belong to the greatest • of the overseas dominions Canada had a great future before her but the success .:of that future depended very largely upon how the present generation lived up to their privileges, He said in the eoupnence- ment'of"his address he, would like to emphazise one thing which he con- sidered very important; As the world progressed he'ysaid many things 'be- came old-fashioned and out of, date' but there was one old thing which never became out of date, that -was good, honest hard work. lie .said, it Was- the tendency, of many young people toe ilnagine that they could get along without work, This ,was a• great mistake and,` he thought people were beginning to find'"Out that notrue success was attained without honest effort, "Don't be a,, fraid to put yonaself into your work," he said. Another need •was that ofcomradeship. Ile gave it-, lustrations of the: comradeship of the soldiers ,during the wat•; in the planks there was the feeling: that all your comrades were with ,you and what one had the other shared and if in danger your comrades to a man were , ready to risk , their lives, for you; "This was one of the finest things coning: out of the war,'i said the speaker: "And amid ail the discom- fort. and'; the suffering ft was cheer- ing to know that' your comrades were ready to share your fortunes; whether good or bad. "-Many men on their return `to eivil life missed this comradeship" continued the speaker. "They found when they came back to tate up their work that everyone was looking' out for -him- self and caring little for the other fellow.! This spirit of comradeship had to he cultivated if this country was to be built up as it should be. "Don't be ®afraid: to boost the ether fellow a little." he said. "Go to this community plank we 'are hear- ing about and make you rselffriend- 1Y with- your neib bolc.n The Gold- en Rule was still the best rule of life. Vain in the future and in each other was another essential thing. , Don t tell the youngp copse that they are 'bad', don't diechurage tliLin • by faultfindinge. -Use the ,Cone Methodand expect , great., thingsof them."' Finally, he said, nothing very great or very good 'had over been built up solely around a doc- trine or a policy apart from a per- son.

J W, Treleaven, 91 iiicipal of the 1Collogiete Institute, asked' per- nnision to:move ' a vote of thanks, not only to the speaker whom all were delighted to hoer and whose address was of so high an orclei', but also to those who had taken part in the muiscal part of the program. Ire' thought these eoinmuniirp gatherings were a :gold thing in Viet they brought together 'People who Were otherwise'anterested largely in their owi1 1i.ttle groups' Mayor ,Cooper accofided the motion, wlii:h wain 'heartily eildo'setl, Pito Rev.

Mr.. Rogers called attention to the 'inadequacy of the present building to accommodate the number of pupils' in attendance at the present time and Impressed upon the board the nec- essity of taking steps to remedy the unsatisfactory conditions. He' point- ed ',opt thee the ,building dn tg had served its time and could not be made to ac- commodate more than one hundred and; fifty pupils while the, enrolled at- tendance for the current Year ' is two hundred and twenty-seven.' 'The class rooms are 'insufficient cin numbee, size, "unsatisfactory fron, the . view point of lighting and ventilation. The floors .are -worn out, while • the halls are dark, narrow, and cut up by cloak and cap rooms.,' There;is no adequate provision for the teaching of. science. 'Mr; Rogers emphasized the injury which was. being' done to "pupils in requiring them to attend school in such unwholesome conditions. He advised .the Board to einploy a ,co1n- petent architect to report upon the. practibility. of .'remodelling the pre- sent building. In any case the Leg- islative grant waeld:•sipt.be. continued after, the present year;, unless the unsatisfactory;conditions were re-' inedied. The sole. eihject of the De- partment of -Education in cutting off the grant was to impress `upon' 'the local community the,need 'of malc]rig adequate provision for the needs of the rising generation in` the matter. of education: 'Mr. Rogers' Briticisms were couched in fr'iendlp terms, hut he saw no use in glossing over the :defects which so imperatively called for correction.
