In the lower school competition John Wilson was the winner with Margaret Plewman second and Mable Reaman third, Vera Morris also made a very creditable speech. Evelyn Waugh was the winner in the upper school with Robert Moore second and Francis Drury third. Other speakers were Mary Hodgins, Edgerton Young Dora Anderson and Constance Mort- son. Miss Evelyn Waugh was declared winner of the oratorical contest held at the Richmond Hill High School on Tuesday night under the auspices of the Home and School club and the Women’s Institute. There were el- even contestants in all, four from the lower school and seven from the mid- dle 'and upper school and all deliv- ered very creditable addresses which were favorably commented on by the judges who commended all the speak- ers for their splendid matter and preparation. All spoke on the same subject, “Why I would choose Canada as a place _in which_to .live.” Mr. Jas. Stewart, principal ably acted as chairman for the evening and the prizes which were given by the Home and School Club and the Wo- men’s Institute were presented to the winners by Mr. W. W. A. Trench. The decision of.the judges was giv- en by Mr. D. G. Anderson principal of the Danforth Park School, Toronto and in congratulating the winner he expressed the hope that she would carry on in the international compet- ition and bring further honors to her- ‘self and to the school. While the ljudges were considering the speech- ‘es Miss Iris Thompson delighted the gathering with two piano solos which were highly appreciated and heartily applauded._ ORATORECAL CONTEST AT THE HIGH SCHOOL ‘Evelyn Waugh’s address was as follows:â€" Mr. Chairman, Honorable Judges and ladies and gegtlemen. In one of the Toronto newspapers of last week you possibly noticed that in the recent continental flower show held at Detroit, Canada won first prize for her roses. When a country wins prizes for the beauty and perfec- tion of her flowers we realize that her people must have a love for the beautiful, a sentiment which is im- possible except in a nation of high ‘ideals and real culture. It is among such a people we would choose to live surely on the beautiful spring morn- ings as we drink in the stimulating air and enjoy the bright sunshine We sayâ€"what a wonderful country we live in, how glad I am to live in Canada. It has been fairly well recognized in the- various organizations of our social, and religious life that there are four sides of our nature that must be developed if we would make of ourselves what we should, namely â€"â€"the physical side, the mental, the social and the spiritual. I believe that Canada offers such advantages, for the development of this four-fold life so as to make it preferable for us to live here and if I can convince you of this I shall feel happy to think I have accomplished my task for this evening. ‘ The first question one naturally‘ asks when going to a new country‘ is “Is it a healthy place,” and the answer as we think of Canada is “Yes” In our public school geograâ€" phy I well remember reading that of almost every province in Canada the climate is healthful. While other countries have an extreme climate or a climate too moist in some parts, we have a temperate climate through- out a vast areaâ€"a sufficient amount iof moisture, plenty of sunshine, not too hot in summer or too cold in winter, a climate that encourages ac- tive living clear thinking sound bodies and healthy minds. For those (Continued on Page 4) And it is not only spring sun- shine that gives us cause for grati- tude on this account, but also sum- mer’s warmth, autumn’s vividness and even the refreshing nip of the breath of our Canadian winter. Our climate and seasons are won- derful but to talk of them is only to' talk of one of the many things that We as Canadians enjoy, that make us as Canadians prefer our country to any other in the world. _ Interesting Addresses on Patriotic Subject.

Herrington and it will be a val- uable addition to the collection of photos of the past masters of the Lodge, which it is understood have all now been obtained with one or two exceptions.

Herring- ton and his officers the chairs were vacated and the work of conferring the first degree on tw0 candidates carried on by past masters.
