LONDON NORMAL SCHOOL Our Visit to O. A. C, Guelph GLORIOUS weather! (Dr. Hofferd had prophesied it, so it was no surprise.) The rising sun on the morning of May 25 found us at the Normal School ready to depart in two large buses for the Agricultural College. The rolling land- scape, the broad expanse of green fields, and the orchards in full bloom were a veritable feast to our eyes, as we travelled onward. Soon we were at our destination and were heartily greeted by our host, Professor Buchanan, who gave us instructions regarding our tour to the various departments. We viewed a parade of select live stock of beef and dairy cattle, draft horses, and bacon hogs. We were much interested in their special flock of Kerry Hill sheep distinguished by their black noses and long docked tails. They were donated to the college by the Kerry Hill Society of Great Britain. Prof. Knox gave illuminat- ing information concerning the characteristics of all these animals. After enjoying a delicious dinner served in the spacious dining room by the students of MacDonald Hall, we were favoured by a brief address from Prof. Buchanan in which he outlined the practical nature of the courses given at the college. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered to the College by Dr. MacMillan and Dr. Hofferd. Hurriedly we proceeded to view interesting demon- strations and hear wise words regarding horticulture, poultry, and soil chemistry. It seemed too bad that our stay in each of these departments was so short. At three o ' clock the softball teams, both boys and girls, from Hamilton, Stratford, Toronto and London Normals were ready for friendly inter-normal games. These proved lively and interesting. All the teams showed a spirit of true sportsmanship. We were in- deed proud of our teams, for, though they lacked practice, they battled well. Then came our picnic supper under a canopy of Norway spruce, with tea almost too hot to drink. The conversation centred on what a delightful and fitting experience for the last day of Normal School. And still to come was the drive through the picturesque grounds of the Guelph Reformatory and our homeward journey to London. Listen! What a perfect day! — The sound still echoes in our ears! London! London! Rah! Rah! Rah! Plures. Purposeful activity is the very essence of thoughtful living; it must become as well the essence of intelligent learning. — Kilpatrick. We help them as best we can to think and decide in the light of ever deeper insight and wider vision. — Kilpatrick. Hate, jealousy, destruction and untruth are the negative things in life. Ther e is no life unless it is based on the positive things in life. Love, truth, belief and enthusiasm will stand the test of time. — Dr. A. E. Morgan.
