Ont Middle and upper school depart- mental examinations June 16th to June 29th. High school entrance examinations June 27th, 28th ana 29th. The final set of term exam inations for middle and upper school began Monday, May 30. The final set of term examinations for lowei school will begin on Monday, June 13. Senior students are expected to con- tinue in regular attendance until re- leased by the principal just prior to commencing the departmental ex- aminations. Experience has proven that review directed by the teacher is superior to the haphazard review conducted by some pupils when they study alone. In the middle and upper school all students who have an average of 66 per cent or more on the results of their term examinations and on their year's work will not be required to try the final departmental examin- ations but shall be awarded standing on recommendation of the teacher concerned. Departmental examinations foi students of the lower school are abolished. Lower school students who fail to obtain class standing on the average of the term examina- tions and their year's work in an> subject will be required to repeal the subject next year. It is hoped that students in the present Form 2 will make a determ- ined effort to pass in all their sub- jects. Failure will necessitate their going back to Grade 10 for some sub- jects next year and this would make their courses difficult to arrange as the Grade 10 courses are very much different from those of the present Form 2. After an illness of two months dur- ation Mrs. Duncan Stewart passed away at Ottawa on Wednesday, May 25th, at the age of 75 years. Deceased, whose maiden name was Sarah Best, was a daughter of the late George Best and Janet Duncan and was bom at Flesherton. She was united in marriage to Duncan Stewart of Flesherton who predeceas- ed her in 1905. To them were bom four sons and two daughters; Rod- erick, Ottawa; Urquhart and Georg of Toronto; Archie of Depot Hat' bor; Harry (deceased); Reta (Mrs. T. W. Brown) and Ruby (Mrs. D. R. Ritchie) both of Ottawa who mourn the love and care of a devoted moth- er. She also leaves two brothers and two sisters: James of Victoria Corn- ers; John T. of Saugeen Junction, Mrs. Doupe (Eliza) of Saugeen Jet.; and Mrs. Alex. Stewart (Margaret) of Owen Sound. Robert Best of Flesherton, Mrs. Robert Taylor (Mary Jane) of Proton and Mrs. Wm. Hack- ing (Katherine) of Vancouver prede- ceased her.

A short service was held at the home followed by a public service in St. John's United Church of which the deceased was a member. Rev. Geo. R. Service, pastor of the church, con- ducted an unusually impressive ser- vice. He spoke very touchingly upon the fine qualities of young manhood pxemplied in Bill and the events lead- ing up to his joining the church and taking a class of young boys in the Sunday School. He also delivered a very comforting message to the ber- eaved parents and members of the family. Mr. and Mrs. George Cairns rendered a beautiful duet "He Knows."

Pentland last year sponsored a ti-ip for the rural school children of his South Grey In- spectorate to the Canadian National Exhibition which was cancelled due to the infantile paralysis epidemic. This year he is again intending to have the trip for the children of the rural schools, leaving on August 29th returning the next day. From Flesh- ei-ton the train fare is $1.30. Children may go either by train or by car and the assembling point will be at the front of the Union Station on Front Street, Toronto, at noon precisely, Standard Time, on Monday, August 29th. From there the party will visit the rotunda of the Royal York Hotel, thence by the elevators to the observation tower of the Bank of Commerce, the highest building in the British Empire, from which the children will be able to see the City, Lake Ontario and the shore of the United States across the Lake. From the bank the party will proceed to the Star Printing Office, then to the Metropolitan Church, where the carilloneur will play a number of hymns for the children on the fam- ous chimes. From the chui'ch the party will walk to the Allan Gardens, then to the Zoological Gardens where lions, tigers, bears, snakes, monkeys and dozens of other forms of wild life will be on exhibition. The next point of interest will be the Parlia- ment Buildings which will be open for inspection, and in the Legislative Chamber the children will be address- ed briefly by the Honourable Mitchell F. Hepburn, Premier of Ontario, by the Honourable Dr. Simpson, Min- ister of Eilucation, and by Mr. V. K. Greer, M.A., Chief Inspector of Pub- lic Schools. The children will be in- troduced to these gentlemen by Mr. Farquhar Oliver, M.P.P. for South Grey. Through the kindness of the exec- utive of the Exhibition we have been able to secure 500 specially ru.;erved seats in the Grand Stand from which the evening display of fireworks may be seen. After this i§ over the child- ren will walk to the Queen Victoria Public School, which is close by, where the children will sleep for the United Church News June 5th is Conference Sunday and Mr. Service will be away, but two interesting services have bean ar- ranged.

On inspection the goose w«k. found to have one of Jack Miner's togs on it. The reason for the bird's death could not be accounted for. A verse of scripture, as well as an invitation to write to Mr. Miner, was found on the aluminum band. The verse of scripture was Psalm 24 verse to "No good thing will be withheld from them that walk uprightly" and at the bottom of this was "write Jack Miner, Kingsville."
