Mr. Ferguson gave a j-eadiog and Dr. Christoe a short ad- dress, the greater pact of the evening being allotted to Mr. Tilley for his address, "Relation of education to the State."

Honorable Dlattaictloii. We are pleased to notice in the re- sult of the recent examinations for Art [Scl^ols throughout Ontario, held in Toronto on the Ist and 2nd of May, that Miss Laura Borke and Miss Minnie Borke of Markdale, who have been attending the Ontario Ladies College, Whitby, are among the suc- cessful ones in obtaining teachers certificates. Miss Laura Borke, free- hand drawing, practical geometry, model drawing and men^ory drawing. Miss Mirmie Korke, practical geometry and model drawing. During the past session over 8000 students have been stodying industrial art throughout the Province 1100 studints were candi dates for examinations, representing about fifty institutions. The iact that these young ladies were successful in obtaining certificates where there were so many candidates, speak very highly for them as students, and also that they must have natural gifts and tastes tor the art. We wish them coutioued s access in tbeir future studies. and eteaiiiwm^ae^ ke anta liltfaia • fewyMdroftibe siS nad al the ncrth end ol the yHUmt, 19 vhidi he was going.
