Dr. Phair, Director of the Department of Medical Health, and Dr. Conboy, Director of Dental Hygiene, spent three days with us and in a series of interesting lectures conveyed much information which shall prove useful in our work next year. The Rev. Thomas addressed us for several mornings on the significance of Alcohol and Life. We were favored with two splendid illustrated lectures during the year — cne, an Astronomy lecture from Dr. Kingston, of Western University, and the other, a talk on the Delights of British Columbia, by Mr. Hum- phrey. Mr. Donahue, publicity man for Lawson and Jones, gave us a most novel address on miscellaneous topics such as the Art of Observation, Courtesy and Letter-Writing. Miss Hamilton proved a very charming speaker, giving us an insight into the work of the Junior Red Cross Society. Dr. Amos, in jocund fashion, related the story of the work carried on in auxiliary classes. Miss Carr, of the Federation of Women Teachers ' Associations of Ontario, and Mr. Hall, of the Secondary Teachers ' Associations proved delightful speakers, revealing the advantages of being linked up with such teachers ' organizations. Few of us shall forg et the occasion of Premier Henry ' s visit to the school. That was a gala afternoon when the whole school gathered in the Assembly with the members of the staff seated on the platform. The Premier spoke of the splendid resources of Ontario, of the new northern highways, and painted a bright picture of the future. Our own Canadian poet, Wilson Macdonald, also paid us a visit and charmed us with the recitation of some of his best known poetry. We shall long remember the sheer music of the Gregorian chant in I Love Old Things. To this group of speakers who so kindly gave their time and thoughts to us, we offer sincerest thanks. We are sure we have gleaned much useful knowledge. Page Etev,
