Friday afternoon saw the close of the Model School term and thirty- five embryo teachers walked , out ready to take their initial places as trainers of trie youth of Ontario -- that is if they all succeed in pass- ing their exam, So thorough and painstaking is that: principal,. Mr. C. D. Bouck, however, that the proba- bility is that they will do so, Principal Bouck, who takes a special and personal interest in each one of the young teachers urder his care; has been principal of Model Schools since 1904 and has had 350 graduates. He studies tire characteif 'add !abilities of each, taking into account the fact that each has One distinct and separate individuality, a fact which all successful teachers suet realize. Though the Model term is short yet we venture say that the influence exerted on his class, by Principal Bouck will continue to he felt during ail their teach'ng exper- ience. That the young people appreciated heir principal's interest in them was evidenced on Friday afternoon when he class, before dispersing, presented Cm with a beautiful mantle clock and the following address, which was read by John Cook and which speaks or itself, the presentation being Dade by Lorne Fair Dear Mr,. Boucle -On this the last ay of association with you in the leder School we wish to express our. ery high appreciation of the interest ou have shown in our welfare and eogress.

The funeral takes place this after- noon from • the parental -home on High ei.reet of Isaac Alexander Flu- ker, second son 'of Mr. and Mrs.'eVin, leltiker, who passed from life unto death in the hospital at Fort Wayne, Indiana, at daybreak on Monday morning last. . Sandy had been attacked by appen- dicitis, successfully underwent one operation, but after the second one, which was deemed necessary, he suc- cumbed. The remains were accompanied east by Mr, E. T. Drew; business agent and financial. secretary of the paint- ers' union of whici . the deceased had been a member. Sandy was born in Auburn almost thirty years ago, and accompanied the family to Clinton when they mbved here. It is six years ethce he was home, four years being spent at Fort Wayne. In a letter re- ceived by his mother but a few days ago he said he was looking forward to spending Chrisbenas with father, neother and . sisters, , thus illustrating again the uncertainly of life. He is survived by his parents, -one brother, IV. J. in Chicago, and four sisters, Mrs. E. McLaughlin, Sask- atoon, Mrs. J. E. Cameron, Luck - now, Mrs, G. Taylor and Mrs. W. Farquhar, Clinton. Sandy was a likeable boy and no - goat is expressed at hie untimely end. The sorrowing home haat the sympathy of the whole community, C. C. I. COMMENCEMENT, The commencement exercises in connection with the Collegiate Lisle - tube were held in the town hall on Thuesdey evening last and proved to be highly successive In additions to he preeentatim to successful ones of medals, dip:on:as, etc., mestere, is always of much interest • to both pupils and parents, an interesting feature this year was the presentation to :VI lee Marge at Mc- Taggart of a life-saving medal from the Royal Humane Society for her part in rescuing a boy from, drown- ing in Lake Huron at Bayfield in July lat. The presentatioru was made by Rev. C. E. Jeakins. chale- t the Collegiate Board, in a neat appropriate speech. , There was also a good program gotten up entirely by the pupils and in which the following took part: Mr. Whitmore, who. gave a, piano : to - Miss R. Rennie, 'vocal solo ; a Japanese fan drill by a number the girls ; solo by. Miss L. Howe ; a -couple of choruses by' a bomber of the CI. girls; a rifle drill by the ead- ets; a three -eel' play from. David Cop- perfield in which six girls and nine hoyci participated. The parts were very cleverly taken and the whole perforneance was mech. enjoyed. The posters gotten out, to adver- tise the entertaiument were sinique•-• beteg original drawings by the stir - dente. They represented, for the mesa part, scenes and personages Irons the book from which the play was taken and were very cleverly-. executed.

The other day he brought into town, among other birds a thirty-six pound turkey for which lie was paid ...$7.20, It's safe saying the, big fellow will net grace. any ordinary wage earner's, table on the festive 25th.

Tire meeting was called by the Moral Refoan departments of time Methodist and the Presbyterian churches, whose agent, Mr. Riddell, was present and explained the move- ment which be said was the first to be undertaken in Canada in rural neighborhoods. m The survey will include all that re- lates to the religious, economic and educational welfare of the people in every part of the county. The posi tion of the farmer, the mechanic, the laborer and all wage earners will be investigated and the results will be placed before the people in figures and cholla so that the churches may help to provide a remedy where sueh is ;requireci. The Government will al- so have these exhibits presented t•o their representatives. Enumerators have been appointed to visit each township in Huron within the next three or four weeks, De.

Grant, Rutledge, Allis, Wy- le and Gieene, Clinton, and Messrs. Elliott of Goderich and l'iplady and Stevens' of Clinton. Rev. Geo. .Jewitt of Myth and Rev Mr. Sharp of Exeter were appointed president end secretary respectively, A WORKER AT FOURSCORE, Rev. Josias Greene on Thursday ast celebrated his eightieth. birthday. Ordained a minister of the Methodist Church over fifty years ago, Mr. Greene far nearly -half a center la- bored in the interests of that denom- ination his work in the early days being among the newer settlements where work was difficult, distances between his preaching aPpohtments long and hard to travel and where the comforts of a Preacher's life were few and meagre. These things however, the early preachsirs took as a- matter of course, ' They accepted 'conditions as they foend them and endeavored to faithfully discharge the duties devolving upon them as'shep- herds of their flocks. Though for seine time superannuat- ed Iter..Greene has always refused to "takes things easy:" So firmly fixed had becothe the habit' of being buey with lain that he has kept it'. up right along. Me is a Iris o s t as much ineereetect in the 'work of the church With which he is connected as the paaeor himself and besides has a host of other interests which keep, him constantly ' engaged. Since conference, too, he has had charge of the Brucefield Methicidigt church where he preaches every week and in connedeon with which he at- tends various week -night and businees meetinge. Very few men who have completed their fourscore, years are as active and -altogether as keenly alive ' to all public questions as ,ReV.

Most of the danehg young people of the 'town were present and quite a number of the younger married folk as well. There wad also a few guests freers, Winghain and Seaforth, ReiresInneats were served at midnighta sled the dancing was kept up for short time after that. "We Six" seem to have demon- strated the fact that they can- be very ,succeesful hosts. THERE MA• Y BE CHANGES.

For- merly the P. received a gratuity of thirty dollars. IT'S COMING IN. Chief Wheatley bias been sitting at the receipt of custom for elle past few weeks and' the result on the whole has been very satisfactory. Paying taxes is an act of patriot - hen which nobody :seems to very much eaaiy, but still. as a rule ratepayers don't mind "handing over" to "Big Joe." They know he takes their hard - caned cash under protest and that, if he had Iris way taxes wouldn't Ire so high. But when the citizens will have macadam, streets, the latest thing in lighting, wateeworks, schools which are a credit to the town, etc., they must be paid toe.
