THE LITERARY SOCIETY lfontinned from Page lil uf the guilty man, lilutters, taken by George XYood. The suspect of the murder. lired llavis. entered, crazed by drink, and behaved in such a fashion as In make us wonder. momentarily, whether he had actually gone insane. 1 ln departing, we felt a bit shaky, and hoped to meet no one on the stairs. Hur meeting of -lanuary the seventeenth took the form of a debafe, when our bright-headed debaters. preparing for the London meet, matched their arguments with those of four clever Fifth Forlners. No decision was given .regarding this interesting combat. The Yeni-Yidi-Yicis of Form l, gave. in their turn, a most imaginative comedy World XYithout Men despite the fact that a few we e required behind the scenes for its presentation. - Hn February the fourteenth we, in memory, went back to public school, for we were allowed to have, as in the good old days, a Yalentihe box: but never before did we have Mr. Lockett for postman! Lilting laughter ac- companied the distribution of the sweet missives. Klarch the thirteenth was a lucky day for our literary society, as then it receivtd a new name Corypheus . The ceremony was impressive. Miss Irving' olliciattd, first briefly addrcssirg the society, then calling upon Klar- garet .Xd:nnson, Mistress of Ceremonies, to conduct to the platform each officer elect to receive installation from the hand of the retiring officer. Dr. KlcXlil'an adtlressed the new president. Ronald Cowley in the following' designation speech: The name that has been chosen for this literary society is The Cory- pheusn. Cory pheus is a Creek word formed from Koryphe meaning head or top and was tl'e name given to the leader of drama in ancient Greece: its modern meaning is leader or director. Thus, this title is appropriate in three ways: Iirstly, you are going out from here to take your positions as leaders: secondly, this society is one of the leading branches of your school activities: and thirdly, your society Slltjlllil lead the way to improved literary ideas and greater literary achievements. Therefore it gives me great pleasure to designate, with this torch of knowledge, the name, The Corypheus , to the llamilton Normal School l,iter- ary Society, to be hereafter so called until changed by order of any succeed- ing executi e. May this torch, fostered by The Corypheusn, burn with ever- increasing brightness . The president carried from the platform the lamp of learning lit by llr, Klckli 'an. the other members of the executive following Un this same day, lform Three, under Miss Nlitchener's direction, presented The Sleeping beauty in a very pleasing manner. tContinucd on Page 753 L .

SPECIAL SPEAKERS lContinued from Page 251 teaching composition from pictures. llr. G. G. McNlab, KLA., D.Paed.. of Guelph, spoke to us regarding the Sine Quae Non of education4moral education. llis historical anecdotes and quotations stirred our imaginations. Mr. F. li, Perney, HA., B.l'aed., Superintendent of Hamilton schools, spoke to us of many of the problems we would face in teaching, giving us many useful ideas. Klr. Norman Davies of the Department of Education told us uf the benents of the teaching of Agriculture anl attending summer school at Guelph. Mr. A. E. Bryson spoke on behalf of the Ontario Educational Association. Mr. A. R. Stevenson spoke for the Men Teachers' Secondary Federation and Nliss H. ul. .lamieson for the Ontario XYomen Teachers' Federation. They advocated compulsory membership and hoped that as Normal students and teachers we would firmly stand behind them. Klr. XY. ul Dunlop, P-.A.. Director of Extension work at the University of Toronto, gave us information about the courses required for obtaining the teachers permanent certificate. Speaking on the same topic were Prof. KlcClement, KLA., Ph.D., of Queens. Dean llclsay of Klcklaster, and Prof. Kingston of Hvestern, who gave us also an illustrated lecture on astronomy. Prof. llcClements' illustrated talk on Nature Study was very delightful. Prof. T. F. Mcllwraith of Toronto, gave us a very excellent illustrated lecture on Eskimo customs and habits. It was amazing to many of us to learn that all Eskimos do not live in igloos. Many more of our old incorrect ideas were likewise dispelled. Prof. N. Klacllonald of McMaster gave us a vivid picture of life in the Hebrides and his own boyhood there. As a school, staff and students together. we feel deeply indebted to these speakers. They gave us their best thoughts and ideas, encourage- ment and higher ideals. and many times new and ever-broadening horizons. Let us, with Tennyson's Ulysses, Push off and, sitting well, in order, smite The sounding furrows. IRIS DAYENPORT. PUBLIC SPEAKERS AND DEBATERS lContinued from Page 2-ll The Stratford-Hamilton meet found the results exactly reversed. Miss Daisy Lawson and Nlr, .lohn llodgson, eloquently supporting the negative side of the subject, Resolved that two consecutive years' training at Normal School is preferable to the present system of granting permanent certificates , were the losers. Miss Anna Urchard, HA., held the rapt attention of both judges and audience by her treatment of the subject, The value of good pictures . Although Mr. Charles Hunter gave a very able speech on a difli- cult subject, the decision in the boys' contest went to Stratford. The staff and students of Hamilton Normal School deeply appreciate the way in which these young men and women have given unstintingly of their time and talents to represent the school so well. They have done credit to our school and to themselves. llut no article on this subject would be complete without special mention of Mr. bl. ll. Davidson, Ma-X., l5.Paed., who has devoted much time and effort to the training of our speakers, and to whom we owe much of their success in this field. NVe realize our debt and say whole-heartedly: Thank you, Mr. Davidson l MARGARET MASTERS. Pugfr Fifty-eight
