To you, who, through our days at school, Have been our teacher, helper, friend; To you, on whom we did depend To help us live, by your own ride, A life as strong, as wise, as full, Our loving homage we extend ; And pray that when through life we wend Our untried way — a striving tool Of the Great Teacher — and may earn Success, reward or even fame, That our achievements be yours, too; And if we should in future learn The sound of praise, we shall exclaim, Give praise to whom the praise is due! — K.

Throughout the year news comes of the Winnipeg girls and their many activities. ' Not many of us, whether in town or coun- try, lead an inactive life: there is too much to do. I hear of some girls who are their mother ' s right hands in household mat- ters and in the management of the younger boys and girls; of others who are developing musical gifts or nursing powers — work- ing harder than they ever did at school of others who are praised as loyal workers in the Sunday school, and yet again in the be- ginnings of settlement work in the North End, on junior auxi- 11
