The :former grad- uated from Seaforth Collegiate, the latter from Listowel High School. The 'Model School was attended in different years, while one attended Toronto Normal and the other Ot- tawa. However, these two fellows ewho attended public school in the same- classes have not met for 35 years. These old teachers put in a busy time recalling the boarding house and school room incidents dur- ing much of this long lapse of years. One of those teachers -began in a country school with 81 on the . roll, receiving the princely salary of $3'50, paid et the end •of the year. The teacher before 'him was ejected from the room by the big boys as a broken panel in the door gave unmistakable evidence of the fracas. However, the boys and girls were compelled to take interest in readin; rithmetiC and'"Titin', to the tune of the 'hick- ory stick and, combativeness gradually ceased. The equipment in those days was an almanac, a voters' list, a big dictionary and a ruler. A Power of its Own. --Dr, Thomas' Eclectric Oil has„ a subtle power -of its own.
