tudents converging 'on- Clinton—queues,
of people waiting in Fair's and Coop-

rushing, around, new teachers, just a
bit nervous. perhaps. For thea first
day of school even the' sun seetris to
shine differently and the world does-
n't look quite so adventurous as it
di( on, say July 1: to neither teacher
nor pupil. .
The :Collegiate has begun with an
excellent registration. The record of
our`" school' is all the. Advertising ne-
cessary, 85 per cent.' successful in
the Middle school, 90 per cent. suc-
cessful in the Upper school. There
have,beert no additions -built this fear
nor improvements made in the old
building—but we can't be prevented
from living on hope.

GLADIOLI, ASTERS, ZINNIAS:
Can you picture 18,000 gladioli,
blooms, with colors in absoultely gorg-
eous profusion? - That is the, "piece
de resistance" of Mr. W. J. Cooks
garden this year, Itis an veritable
blaze of color. Orange, criinson, scar-
let, .white, pink, yellow, blue, violet
spikes outlined 'against the delicate
green of the gladioli leaf. On exam-
ining them more closely, the beauti-
ful harmony of colors2 red shading
to purple, shell pink centred with
ro se, pure white with a mauve centre,
blazing scarlet, 'yellow with a rose
dot deep down in the throat, violet
shading to indigo, name any color and
you can see it. You have 18,000
chances,
Then the aster beds are in their
full glory. Here again the -full range
of shades, but in our opinion, they
Bre over -shadowed by .the brilliant
zinnias. One of the easiest flowers
to grow, according to Mr, Cook—when
they flower they are a sight to repay
any amount of time and trouble. Dull
pastel shades, and brilliant ones, riv-
alling the gladioli.We think they
were our favorites.

tudents converging 'on- Clinton—queues,
of people waiting in Fair's and Coop-
er's bookstores—harassed teachers
rushing, around, new teachers, just a
bit nervous. perhaps. For thea first
day of school even the' sun seetris to
shine differently and the world does-
n't look quite so adventurous as it
di( on, say July 1: to neither teacher
nor pupil. .
The :Collegiate has begun with an
excellent registration. The record of
our`" school' is all the. Advertising ne-
cessary, 85 per cent.' successful in
the Middle school, 90 per cent. suc-
cessful in the Upper school. There
have,beert no additions -built this fear
nor improvements made in the old
building—but we can't be prevented
from living on hope.

GLADIOLI, ASTERS, ZINNIAS:
Can you picture 18,000 gladioli,
blooms, with colors in absoultely gorg-
eous profusion? - That is the, "piece
de resistance" of Mr. W. J. Cooks
garden this year, Itis an veritable
blaze of color. Orange, criinson, scar-
let, .white, pink, yellow, blue, violet
spikes outlined 'against the delicate
green of the gladioli leaf. On exam-
ining them more closely, the beauti-
ful harmony of colors2 red shading
to purple, shell pink centred with
ro se, pure white with a mauve centre,
blazing scarlet, 'yellow with a rose
dot deep down in the throat, violet
shading to indigo, name any color and
you can see it. You have 18,000
chances,
Then the aster beds are in their
full glory. Here again the -full range
of shades, but in our opinion, they
Bre over -shadowed by .the brilliant
zinnias. One of the easiest flowers
to grow, according to Mr, Cook—when
they flower they are a sight to repay
any amount of time and trouble. Dull
pastel shades, and brilliant ones, riv-
alling the gladioli.We think they
were our favorites.
