Parkinson Margaret Fleming Margaret McEachern Gladys Morris Hilda Rogers OUR VISITORS Next year and in years to come we shall no doubt have a greater appre- ciation of the valuable information our visitors imparted to us. Dr. Phair. director of the Department of Medical Health, and Dr. Conboy, director of Dental Hygience, were our frist visitors. They gave us much useful information in their two days ' visit with us. along their particular line of work. Mrs. Storey, of the Home and School Federation, was a very pleasing speaker. She stressed the importance of the proper co-operation between the teachers and the parents, in order to ensure complete success. Miss Carr. of the Federation of Women Tecahers ' Associations of Ontario, was an exceedingly pleasant speaker. Mr. Hall, of the Secondary Teachers ' Fed- eration, was equally as able a speaker. They revealed to us the privileges enjoyed by members of such a federation. Many joined the federation, hoping we shall not need much of the assistance they offer, yet hoping to derive much benefit if such a need arises. The Rev. Mr. Thomas talked to some extent on Alcohol and Life. He used plenty of concrete material and his lectures will undoubtedly serve as an extra source of material when teaching lessons on alcohol and tobacco. Miss Pepper gave the girls a most interesting lecture one afternoon after four o ' clock on Food. She informed us where we can get concrete material for our lessons when teaching this topic. Dr. O ' Connor, veteran of the Junior Red Cross Society in Canada, spoke to us on the work of this society and pointed out what good we could do if we formed such a society. Dr. Kingston, of the University of Western Ontario, addressed us in a meeting of the Literary Society on the summer school courses there from the educational and social viewpoints. His wit and humour made his seemingly dry subject enjoyable. Mr. Humphries, of British Columbia, gave a most interesting lecture on that province. He had an abundance of beautiful slices to illustrate his talk. In short, he left us incensed with the desire to visit British Columbia at our earliest opportunity. Dr. Amos won the good-will of everyone with his inimitable smile and good humour. He certainly made us sympathize with those who are in need of a curriculum different from that of the ordinary child; and we shall carry that sympathy into our future work. Mr. Dunlop. director of the Extension Course at the University of To- ronto, visited us. After being inspired by Professor Kingston and Mr. Dunlop, I am sure there will be few of us who will be without at least B.A. degrees in a few years. Mr. Dunlop not only gave us useful information but also entertained us by his witty remarks. I am sure we shall not forget soon the sentence, Now what have I said wrong this time? Page Ten
