H K s „ c (She Carnegie i%rt Qift T HIS year the Carnegie Corporation of New York City pre¬ sented an art collection to Kelvin. It is to be used in the furthering of the appreciation of art among the students of our school. The collection consists of eight hundred and forty-eight reproductions in black and white and in color, seventeen large colored prints, a portfolio entitled “Graphic Processes” in which many processes are explained and illustrated, and one hundred and twenty-five books. The reproductions cover a long period of time. The first are those dealing with Ancient art, after this Mediaeval Art is dealt with, then the Renaissance period and Twentieth Cen¬ tury Art is pictured, and finally Oriental Art is shown. The seventeen large colored prints included in the collection are reproductions of famous paintings of all periods. All these repro¬ ductions show the student exactly how certain ideas and methods have been evolved and how art in all its forms has progressed from earliest times to the present day. One can readily see the great help this should be to the student. The books in this collection are complementary to the prints. Many of them describe the art of the different periods. For ex¬ ample, there are eleven books dealing with Ancient Art. When the student studies the reproductions of the art in olden times he also reads these books. Other books in this library give material on the technique of painting. For the student who is interested in improving his style, these books are the most suitable. Lives of great artists are dealt with in some of the books. There are in the section on the Renaissances painting, eighteen books dealing with artists of this period. There is also a section dealing with crafts, another with photography, and still another with designs and prints. We should take every opp ortunity of studying the prints and reading about them in the library, as this is a privilege not afforded many students in the other high schools. We feel sure that the donors of this fine collection, as well as the principal and the teachers of our school, expect this to be an inspiration to our students. Murdoff Burns. 5

R. T. Hodgson Library O N May 30th, the R. T. Hodgson library was formally presented to the school. This gift from ex-students of Kelvin was given in honor of Mr. R. T. Hodgson, who had been princi¬ pal of the school for twenty years. Senior students and teachers gath¬ ered in the auditorium at 3:20 o’clock. Mr. George Sharpe, on behalf of the ex-students, introduced Miss Doris Saunders, who in well chosen words made the presentation. Mr. Little re¬ plied, accepting with appreciation the beautiful addition to the Kelvin library. Mr. Hodgson then expressed his thanks and best wishes for the future of the school which he held so dear. NEW AUDITORIUM CURTAIN PLEASANT little ceremony took place before the presentation of the R. T. Hodgson library on May 30th. The handsome new stage curtains were drawn for the first time before a public gathering. Mr. Mulock, convener of the committee in charge, spoke a few words and two senior students, Jean Finch and Harold Reid, drew the curtains. The students enthusiastically joined in the school song. GRADE XII T IS rumored that Grade XII will be established at Kelvin next year. It will, of course, embrace all subjects taught in first year University, and will lead to a first class teachers’ certificate and Normal School entrance. If the plan materializes, we believe that many will benefit greatly. At present, many students leave high school wishing for more education but unable to undertake a full University course. We believe that students, working in the environment, to which they had been accustomed for the preceding two years, would achieve much in power and steadiness in a third year. They would have an extra year to think out the problem of vocations, and would also be better prepared, if they con¬ tinued, to fit into the routine of Uni¬ versity life. On the other hand, certain diffi¬ culties would present themselves. Kel¬ vin is already crowded to capacity. The advent of Grade XII would prob¬ ably mean the opening of three or four more classrooms. The question of laboratory equipment and rooms would also arise. We believe, however, that the bene¬ fits accruing from this course would more than compensate for the diffi¬ culties of the re-arrangements neces¬ sary to such a change. Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia all maintain Grade XII classes and find that great benefits accrue. M. Burns. 6
