The New Auditorium. The New Technical School Charles C. Campbell, SA. Another milestone in the history of edu- cation in Kingston was passed on Friday evening, Feb. 29th, when in the presence of a large and distinguished audience the new Collegiate and Vocational Institute was formally declared open. Among those pre- sent on the spacious platform were the Hon. and Rev. XV. G. Martin, Minister of Public Vtfelfare for the Province, who acted as the representative of the Premier, the Hon. Cr. S. Henry, in the latter's unavoidable absence: Mr. F. S, Rutherford who is the director of Technical Education for Qntario, Mr. Tom Moore, president of the Trades and Labour Congress of Canada, and two former prin- cipals of the school, Dr. A. P. Knight and Mr. E. O. Sliter. Also present were the members of the City Council and the var- ious Boards connected with the erection of the new building. The Chairman for the evening was Mr. Hoag, Chairman of the Local Board of Education. A very interesting program consisting mainly of speeches was given, while two well-known soloists delighted the audience with several familiar songs. Qui' own school orchestra also played a few selections very creditably. After an intercession had been offered by the Minister of Chalmers' Church, the Mayor gave a short address in which he congratulated the builders and committee on their splendid achievement and the obvious advantages offered by the new plan. His Wforship also gave a cordial welcome to the-out-of-town guests. This was followed by a short ceremony in which the key of the new building changed hands several times, giving an opportunity for a few words from the recipient in each case. The key having been presented by Mr. Hol- brook representing the builders to Mr. Nickle, Chairman of the building committee, who referred to the hearty co-operation he had received from all sides, was then pass- ed to the Chairman who spoke of the excel- lent work done by Mr, Nickle and his com- mittee. A remarkably interesting address was then delivered by the principal who pointed out the many and different advant- ages of such a school as had been completed and the gain to all the citizens of the city. The representative of His Grace the Arch- bishop Coadjutor of Kingston, Fr. Byrne, in a few well chosen words expressed the hope that the school would prove of lasting good to the comniunity. O-ne of the most inter- esting speeches of the evening was that delivered by that veteran educationist, Dr. A. P. Knight. the hrst principal of the Col- legiate, who related several amusing stories of his own career as a school teacher. He was followed by another former principal, Mr. E. O. Sliter, who wished the school every success in the future. Mr. Rutherford, the director of Techni- cal Education, was introduced by Mr. -104- '
