A Beloved Teacher Gone | To the Editor of The Chronicle:l Old pupils scattered far and wide will learn with genuine regret ofl the recent passing in Hamilton of James W. Connor, for thirty years principal of the old Berlin High‘ School. A gentleman and a scholar, a son of Erin, and proud of it, he loved learning for learning‘s sake, and happy indeed were those who under his guidance were led back into the world of Caesar and Cicero, Homer and Xenophon in the blissâ€" ful past when educational authoriâ€" ties were still benighted enough to believe in the humanities, and Latin held its august place unchallenged in the curriculum. vo Ponnv wreaths ware nlaced on | Winter Fair includes: Clarence o.

What memories of inevitable Latin, inevitable mistakes, and not the least the inevitable reckoning; for woe unto him who wrote "casâ€" tram" on the blackboard or failed to pay due respect to a long vowel. Emphatic â€" denunciation _ of _ proâ€" nounced â€" Hibernian â€" fidvor, with much gesticulation, startled the errâ€" ing one into unqualified acceptance of the point in question. Yet in our hearts we loved him still, for we knew that bencath that incarnation of conjugations and declensions, rules and exceptions, were a kindly heart and a great soul. Emotional in the extreme he was, with an emoâ€" tionalism born of the deeply spiriâ€" tual. One morning the New Testament from which he read at opening prayers was missing. Some worshipâ€" less one had effected its disappearâ€" ance. But our oracle of classical wisdom was not to be beaten. He straightway â€" produced his Greek Testament and gave us a running translation from that. In the hearts of all who were forâ€" tuhate enough to come under the inspiration of his personality and teaching, and knew the warmth and depth of his friendship, Mr. Connor has a monument that will not perish with the years. For us he held high the torch, and his spirit still lingers for us in the old days and old haunts of the Berlin High School. 7 Percival F. Morley, Toronto, } Former Waterloo Resident.
