A Tribute to a. Former•
Teacher
To The Editor ,--Early in Septem-
ber, 1883, } entered the Third Form of
the old High School in Clinton. It
was a sunny place, occupying the.
western part of the up -stairs and was
full of happy,young Canadians: At
the second period of that eventful
morning, a supple young teacher en-
tered, fair in complexion, with wide-
open blue eyes and a remarkable,
kindly lace. ` I have never forgotten
the immediate impression. It was
Mr. S. W. Perry, M,A,, a gold medal-
ist in Classics, who'had come to break
in a new class,
He at once cast a spell over the
room, having no trouble to secure
attention and start his work in mo-
tion: Each es our 'names was enter-
ed on his class -roll- but by the way
he spoke to us, everyone was taken
t6 his heart as a Mend. And what a.
teacher and fs;iend he became and
lasted through the years!
In the class -room we werefitnpres
sed with the fact that he had master-
ed thoroughly his subjects 01 study
and expected nothing less from each
of us. All through our University
course we had reason to thank him
for insisting on accuracy in the gram-
mar of both Latin and Greek. He had
it ail in his memory and ground a-
way at ours until we also got some
goodly portions. '
Out of school he was the perfect
gentleman, whether he played on the
forward wing of football, trained in
the glee -club or welcomed -us at
Church. There was a great revival at
Rattenbury St. Methodist, where he
was a member, led by Crosley and
Hunter, and he took special interest
in the students who happened to at-
tend. The meetings became -the "big
business" of the town, not by any
means alone from the part given to
the evangelists but by the assistance
of many laymen like Mr. Perry.
It was in the mind of several of the
oldest students, living in Toronto and
Hamilton, to honour him with a
luncheon. The following were among
those trying to get together: Jack
Cooper, Gordon Waldron, R. B. J.
Stanbury, Alex. Mackenzie, Will Baird
Jack McKinnon, Milt Godfrey, Will
Ross, Miss Minnie Lavin and the
writer. But death moved faster than
our plans. We can only imagine what
pleasure it would have been again to
call him "Master"' and to know how
well he had kept us in his big heart
axil retentive mind.
The grand old, master leaves his desk,
His final lesson' ends the page.
A cloud of students through the years
Acclaim with pride a noble sage.
We 'lived with him in Greece and
Rome,
Sipping from founts of Classic lore.
With the immortals as we soared.
He had a grace we could adore.
Half-mast the flag on highest pole
And fortis with flowers his resting.
booth. \
He lived his own. best requiem
Inspiring legions of the youth.

JUST AN ACCIDENT
A pleasant Sunday afternoon in the
country. Thousands h fa-
milies "out for a drive," whizzing a-
long on a. typically picturesque On-
tario highway. Suddenly, around a
curve—screams, the shriek of brakes
and tires, a terrific crash, the
screech' of tearing metal, the sicken-
ing shatter of glass, agonizing moans
--then a deathly moment of silence.
A man, one arm hanging limp,
crawls from the wreckage. One ear
has been flayed from the side of his
head. He leans over someone else in
the car, then collapses.
Help comes almost immediately.
Limp, broken bodies are dragged from
the wreckage and laid on the road-
side. A thin red stream trickles ov-
er the running -board of the car and
forms a pool on the highway. OnL
body is'covered over with a blanket.
7,4vo others are rushed to the hospital;
there may still be time to save them.
A bystander peers curiously into the
back of the car. He turns away with
( shudder and is violently sick; some-
one else fishes out an arm and tucks
it under the blanket beside the still
body.
Horrible, isn't it? But neither tin•
common. nor 'exaggerated. It is sim-
ply a factual report of one of the 501
motor accidents in 1936 which result-
ed in fatalities. The headline in the
newspaper next day read something
like: "One Dead in Curve Crash, Two
In Hospital' May Die," You've seen
dozens of headlines just like it, but
how often do, you stop to think of the
hidecus picture. of blood and pain and
death which lies behind them.
Accidents are horrible. Horrible
to }tear about and look at.'Horrible
in the pain and agony and sorrow
they bring. Most horrible in the
realization that They Need Not Hap-
pen!
In Ontario, ; the Department o
Highways is determined they will not
happen. But to prevent them, it needs
your help.' You must drive- (and
walk) carefully, sanely.' Yott Must
Stop Taking' Chances. And you musts
make sure that others do. the same
thing by reporting those who endan-
ger lives by reckless driving.. Dis-
miss any silly prejudice which sug-
gests. "it's none of your business." It
is your business! It is one of your
reeponsibilities to yourself and to the
community. Its eo
u yis f your duties
as a citizen—and it is .one of your
duties as a human being to help save
others from a needless death or in-
jury. You'Are Your Brother's I{ee-
