jfuretnurh We wonder how many of our parents realize how much has been done during the last two years to increase the general efficiency of the School F The same high standard has been maintained, Scholarships have been won at various schools, Common Entrance exams have been negotiated without any failures, and Selwyn House boys invariably top the lists of Matriculation results and Prize-givings. .-Xnd to all this we have added: .-X bus service to take boys to and from School without any extra charge to parents. A Library of about a thousand books, from which boys can borrow any day after school. Some four hundred books have been taken out this year. A Singing Class which has shown great enthusiasm and improvement, has put on a very successful concert of its own, and has taken part in the Quebec Musical Com- petition Festival. :X Help Room in which any boy who, through absence or for any other reason, is having trouble with his work can obtain individual assistance. :X fifteen minute period, every morning, devoted to a study of the Scriptures. :X Ski-ing Instructor who gives lessons on the Mountain four afternoons a week, and large and small parties of boys are taken to the Seigniory Club and the Laurentian Mountains. .-X great improvement in the facilities for skating. The School has the use of three rinks Y the School rink, Coliseum, and the rink on the XYestmount Grounds. An arrangement with the Park Toboggan N Slide Club which makes every boy in the School a member and enables him to have full use of the Club House at all times. An arrangement with the Y.Bl.C..-X. which allows us, as soon as the weather breaks, to have the use of an excellent Gymnasium and a very competent Instructor, a good swim- ming pool, shower baths and dressing rooms, and the exclusive use of these facilities during certain hours.

There was little to choose between them, and the ad- judicators finally awarded the Prize to Goldbloom, whose style more than offset Little's material. bk nk Ill
