Lieutenantâ€"Governor ‘Clarke® in beâ€" ginning his l : thanks for the honor done him in giving him the privilege of opening a branch of. Beflin‘s _ great ©Collegiate Institute, and for the pleasure he had enjoyed in going through the s_chool and‘ making the acquaintance of the. prosperous town of â€" Berlin si\ which . he had heard so much. He had had no idea that the. town . possessed so many features of progress and industry. Ruâ€" mor â€" concerning the Collegiate . and Technical Institute ‘had not.been exâ€" aggerated.. The institution was cetâ€" tainly a great object lesson and: inâ€" dicated that the people of Berlin had the same interest in education which their ancestors possessed. Ontario had reason.to be thankful for its adâ€" mirable system of education and. to the present Minister of Educatigh for the interest displayed in educational institutions and ~the great progress made in the last few years. This adâ€" vancement had been phenomenal. This was no longer a mere province but a very great nation. Weduesday was a redâ€"letter day for Perhaps in this age people were 1oo apt to be carried away by materialâ€" ism and were beginning to think maâ€" terial progress was. everything. ~ But the existence of such institutions as this Collegiate and Technical Instiâ€" tutéâ€"indicated that the people of this portion of the : country thought > of greater thingsâ€"the education of the people. Material\ progress was â€" not everything. ‘The formation of characâ€" ter" and fhental ‘development was evâ€" erything.. ‘There were different tIt?ot- ies as to the true result of education> He had always thought it to be the enabling of a man to form a correct judgment . of any _State or circumâ€" stance in which he "was placed. The better a man was educated the better he was able to do this. ‘The speaker quoted ‘the â€" words he used to read over the chair of one of the profesâ€" sors at mhr‘% University: â€" ‘"On earth there is nothing great but man and in man thete is nothing great but mind." £ In former days, Governor Clarke continued, education was oneâ€"sided, but the varied studies pursued in the institutions like the Collegiate and Technical Institute indicated . that such â€"was jno longer the case. He had been particularly taken with the manâ€" ual training. Such education could not fail to have a great influence on the industrial locality in which the school was situated. He looked for . great results from the example set by this school, which would doubtiess be folâ€" lowed in other parts of the country, and Berlin would always enjoy . the. distinction . of hayâ€" ing been among the leaders in this line of education. He emphasized the need of impressing upon the young the need of utilizing all physical advantaâ€" ges. The Governor then paid some ‘uttatlo- to household science. It could, he said, be scarcely overestiâ€" ) mated nor lauded too highly. In a country like . this there was a very ‘great waste "of food, and tcaching w girls how to be economical in respect was of the greatest posâ€" sible benefit. It tended to make hapâ€" py homes. \J. « ¢‘ ‘The _‘ Lieutenantâ€"Governor‘ | next The ‘Lieutenantâ€"Governor _ next spoke of the permanence of British institutions â€" and cited an instance which he had recently read about, in which a man took possession of & property at the expiration ol a 989 ted by questions affecting the unity of the Empire. was not for him 5 hests o h An y + ;.-.".T"'“ did not mean ted by questions affecting the cunity Martyn, °B. 14.

Lackner expressed delight with the Lieutenantâ€"Governor‘s speech, es pecially his remarks on the unity : of the Empire and he said there were no more loyal people in the Empire than those of Berlin. Speaking of the sucâ€" cess of the Geriman soldier he said that success was due to the system of education in . Germany, and the sucâ€" cess of the: British soldiers in‘ the Boer war was accounted for largely by the British system: of education. In that war Canadians had made an °xâ€" and: Berlin would always ‘enjoy . havâ€" ceptionally fine showing and he . beâ€" lieved that to have been a result . of Lghll country‘s superior ‘system â€" of education.
