None but those who have to do with an undartakin» af irin u:oa it was eminently fitting that there should have been present on the occasion of the forâ€" mal opening on Friday such an outstanding and noted educational leader as Hon. Canon H. J. Cody, D.D., former Minister of Education for; the Province of Ontario. He gave a message which was at once eloquent and inspiring and properly complimented the municipalities of Kitchener and Waterloo on having erected such a commodious and fully equipped school. It was emphasized by Dr. Cody, however, that the teachers really make the school and it is pleasing to know that the Kitchener and Watâ€" erloo Collegiate also fully measures up in this respect, having an excellent staff of teachers headed by the efficient principal, Mr. Merritt. generally acknowledged to be a modern school in every particular and admirably adapted to meet the educational needs of these growing communities. * It must have been gratifying to the memâ€" bers of the Kitchener and Waterloo .

The tragedy emphasized the need of the strict observance of the law relating to the carrying of firearms. A permit is necessary from the Chief of Police before firearms can be purchased and persons who desire them must show good cause for having them in their possession. â€" Where they are kept about the house special vigilance is necessary in order that they do not fall into the hands of those who have little or no knowledge of firearms to safeguard them against danger. It is hardly necessary to add that they should be kept out of the hands of mere lads. Even in the hands |â€" of adults firearms are a menace unless handled |â€" with proper care. The police will doubtless reâ€"|â€" double their vigilance as a result of the sad|/ tragedy of last week. 1 The latest shooting fatality should serve| * as a stern warning to both youths and adults| * who now possess firearms as to the great need |â€" of exercising the utmost caution in their use. | * The danger of firearms in the hands of those who are irresponsible and who do not apâ€" preciate the care with which they must be P Lo @HP _ > El . h ,’f'.‘ g : & & -â€"â€"â€"-.-_â€".-â€"â€",M :1 * 2A 4 B P ' it * â€" J Ihe heayy fire lorses in Ontario during| ooosts e e Waterise, Ontarle &.mtnmhnw‘uthhufi E on 0.T.A. _ § tield FY Of the department of One year, in advance ...............81.50 municipalities fi-mmb_w 80| sootat it hn Hnhoam i ‘not paid in advance .......... . .80.00 WMWWWJNW church, declared open war on taking Bix MORth® _,>««+>>...â€"..,........ $100 to fight fires.
