HE proposed benefactions of Sir William Macdonald on behalf of the common or public school, as a complement to his philanthropy in behalf of education generally, has excited not a little interest in what is known as the Consolidated or Centralized School, by means of which the school children of the country parts may share with the school children of the towns and cities in the advantages of graded classes and closer supervision.Such schools are already in process of development in the various Provinces of Canada, one in each Province, and all of them under the immediate patronage, supervision, and support of the Macdonald Trust.These have been established as specimens to the various schools municipalities as to what a Consolidated School should be.The reports concerning the success of these institutions are varied, there being an inclination on the part of the communities in which they have been placed to saddle the Macdonald Trust with the full burden of maintaining them, if they are to be continued.There have been one or two ingtances of special effort on the part of the municipal authorities, working directly under the school law of the Province, to establish such schools; and, in process of time, the movement may become more general\u2014 as general, perhaps, as it has become in the United States.A report has lately been issued in the press by the chairman of the Macdonald Consolidated School in Ontario, chiefly to correct some mistaken notions that have seized the members of the Legislature of that Province in regard to the scope and intention of the said school.In that report it is stated that such a school was organized near or around the city of Guelph in 1904: and the Superintendent of Education of Nova Scotia, in a conversation I had with him lately, expressed the belief that in his Province, though the movement was progressing somewhat slowly, there were indications that the Consolidated School would be the school of the future in the country parts.An impetus will no doubt be given to the movement, in Quebec, at least, when the Normal School, in course of erection at St.Anne\u2019s is ready to prepare student-teachers for these schools under the curriculum proposed by Professor Robertson; though even then a more strenuous missionary effort will have to be made to induce the country municipalities to take up with the idea of consolidation, in face of the prejudices against it, from mistaken notions as to the expense entailed and other objections of a local nature.RR XR RE An Interesting Series Of Observation Lessons.A little white ago, {or my own satisfaction, I visited the Township of Grafton, Massachusetts, where the Concentrated or Consolidated School has been developed, after a period of years, into a success.And, in a preliminary report of that visit, I had to confess that a more interesting series of observation lessons than those I had during my stay in the dis\u2018rict could not well be imagined.To repeat what I said on my return home, the good effects of system ~~ and close supervision was readily to be traced in all the schools of the municipality.Instead of the fourteen schools that once existed in the township, indifferently equipped and irregularly attended, there are now but five, graded and well equipped, with two or three teachers in each, and all of them feeders to the High School, which is situated near the centre of the township in the village of Grafton.The inauguration of the movement took place less than thirteen years ago, and continued, with some further maturing step being taken every year up to 1900, when the present arrangements of a fully school-consolidated district were completed as a permanence, With the assistance of Superintendent Small and others, I made careful enquiries as to the objections that had been raised to the proposal of centralization, from the time it was first mooted, and as to how these objection were over-ruled; investigating further the comparative expenses, and padagogic advantage of the new over the old order of things; the number of teachers employed in former years compared with the number now employed; the reports of efficiency under the close supervision of to-day compared with the efficiency under desultory supervision; and the steps to be taken for the transportation of the children from the outlying sections of the township to the nearest centralized school.XX RE BR Solution of Providing Schools For Sparsely Populated Parts.There were few of the details of the system that did not deeply interest me, as they cannot but interest every remote district in Canada, where parents would have the best that is to be had for their children in the way of an efficiently conducted and graded school School, with no pecuniary assistance save from the local tax-chest, under the beneficent encouragement of the central government of the State, it may well be asked what may not our Canadian outlying sections do, under the additional encouragement of Sir William Macdonald\u2019s benefactions, An enquiry as to the hindrances that were thrown in the way of consolidation cannot fail to be of as much interest to others as it was to me.1.There was the jealousy that one section might, from the \u201clocus naturae,\u201d secure greater advantages than another; while, as a fact, the advantage, if there is one, is now recognized as being with those whose children do not need to be driven to school in the public \u201cbarges\u201d or omnibuses, though more of the public money may have to be spent on the others than on behalf of those living near the Consolidated School.2.There was an idea that the taking away of the \u201clittle red school-house\u201d from near any particular farm would cause a depreciatinn in value of that higher efficiency in all class work, and a closer supervision.2.An increased attendance and almost perfect regularity, with an incidental saving of time in all the processes of school work, and a broader- minded emulation and improved culture from companionship disciplined by the sympathy of numbers, 3.Wise econqmy with more money to spend on supervision and in rewarding the efficiency of the teacher, besides the quickening of communal pride in what is no waste of money.4.Longer school terms, at no great additional effort, and no great additional taxation.XR RR BR Almost Doubled Attendance At the High School.Indeed, the influence of the Consolidated Schools in the Grafton district has all but doubled the attendance at the High School, though there has been only the natural increase of population in the whole township.I have said that there is one obsta- ships to imitate.within an hour at least from the time at which school is dismissed.And what is there to hinder Canada from taking a leaf out of the book of Massachusetts in providing for the school training of our children of school age in the outlying sections of the country, in line with the school training of such as live in the more populous centres, with a graded school within walking distance?There surely can be nothing but good-will shown to the movement which Sir William Macdonald and Professor Robertson have at heart?Possibly some one may say that we can get at the idea of the Consolidated School without making any call upon the United States for a pattern.The Macdonald Consolidated Schools already established as models, in each province, respectively, form surely pattern enough for us.Those who have read the report of Mr.Sinclair, in connection with the Guelph Consolidated School, will see at once that such a model is a little too ambitious for our poorer districts to adopt.The Guelph School has an attendance of two hundred pupils.It has seven teachers and costs $8,660 per annum, with $3,400 of that spent on van service.It is needless to say that the majority of our poor sections could not possibly follow such a model?In Grafton there is presented to us a model within the reach of all our sparsely settled town- There is nothing extravagant to be found in any part of the machinery of its school organization or equipment, as may be partly seen from the illustrations accompanying this article.If a model of a much less ambitious Consolidated School than Guelph or Ormstown were set Up in one of our more remote sections in each of the Provinces, away from town, or city, or railway, in would be of the greatest service in showing every poor section what they can overcome under the most adverse circumstances,though in the suggestion there is not one grain of adverse criticism of what is being done at Guelph and elsewhere to set up models of the kind of schools some com- THE ADVANCES IN TECHNICAL EDUCATION IN CANADA\u2014A couple of bedrooms belonging to students at the Macdonald Hall, Guelph;

whereas the very opposite effect has been experienced, with a decided advance in the price of property all round, in the district where the service of an efficient Consolidated School has become an assurance in the neighborhood.BR RR RR Regarding Proper Conveyance On Reasonable Terms.3.There was an impression that it would be difficult to secure a proper conveyance on reasonable terms, and next to impossible to indemnify satisfactorily the parent who drove his own family to school or who had to provide the necessary winter clothing for the ride to and from school; but both of these objections have been found to be of no weight whatever beyond the taking of a little secondary trouble to secure the advantages of a spacious, properly heated, and well ventilated school building as a haven for the children under instruction and proper training.4.There was the natural or unnatural proneness of some people to object to the removal of any old landmark or to any innovation, however worthy the measure or however well received it has been elsewhere; but, as one of the supervisors in his report says, this objection has had only an influence with those people who choose to live, move about, and die as did their ancestors\u2014 on the theory that this is the last generation.and that any special effort at improvement is only so much more than is wise and necessary.As an outbalancing against these four objections, with one a little more serious to dispose of than the others, the following advantages may be urged in favor of the new system: 1.The great educational gain in having a graded school, with a right classification of pupils, better equipment, cle, one objection, that has a more serious aspect about it than the four I have mentioned, and yet it may be easily obviated, if only the school authorities and the community at large exercise a little co-operative prudence.I refer to the discomforts of transportation.The regulations that have been framed to reduce to a minimum the danger to health and morals of the pupils while being taken to and from school, show how far the objection can be set aside.The Board of Education of Massachusetts have issued a set of regulations in this connection that has all the force of municipal law, with definite penalties attached should they be infringed upon.The third of these regulations is all that need be given here.It reads thus: \u201cPains should be taken to furnish clean and comfortable vehicles, in charge of suitable persons.The conduct of children while in transit is largely dependent on the character of the driver.The authority of the School Committee to enforce proper conduct during conveyance is indisputable.\u201d BE ORE RR Nothing to Hinder Canada Adopting the System.And, therefore, with such a regulation in force, the last objection to the Consolidated School is shown to be of no very serious import.There is a rule to the same effect in all our school municipalities, which declares that the pupils are responsible to the teacher for their conduct from the time they set out from home for school until the time they have re urned home\u2014 er etm Progress of Education in Canada from Little School House to Great Technical Institute I an swoon ras\u2018 05 EE arcorreuar \u2019 a.avi \u2026 li ff 1 PROGRESS OF EDUCATION IN CANADA\u2014A typical modern high school building in the Eastern Townships.ST.PIERRE, A MOST INTERESTING SPOT.(Continued from Page Opposite.) itiated into tne mysteries cooking.Swimming is about the only form of outdoor sport in which the people of St.Pierre indulge during the summer\u2014 the English portion, at least.Handball is practised, but chiefly by the French.The Englishmen in the cable service are fine swimmers, and they think nothing of staying in the water for an hour at a time.The water is ice-cold, and one unaccustomed to it comes out livid and sick.No amount of persuasion on the part of these jolly fellows could induce us to leave our comfortable beds at 6 o'clock in the morning (their favorite hour) for a dip in these waters, although they called again and again to take us out, From this, the headquarters of the cod fisheries, it was not likely that we would be allowed to depart, without an opportunity of trying our luck.The fish around the island are smail, and the sport is not very exciting.One of our party, thinking he had a cod at the end of his line, seized on a squid he brought up, and was instantly deluged with its inky fluid.This ended deep-sea fishing for him.A visit to the cable house where the strands come up from the sea to the land, with the roll of the ocean at your of French feet, was by no means the least interesting of our experience.To have a message sent by the operator to Havre and a reply while you wait helped us to realize the marvellous nature of the great invention.oR RR BX St.Pierre Long Noted as a Base for Smuggling.St.Pierre has long been noted as a base for smugglers.and many amusing PROGRESS OF EDUCATION IN CANADA \u2014 A primitive school in the Merriam District of the Province of Quebec.munities require in moving along the line of progress.Indeed, Sir William Macdonald and his able coadjutor may well reply to every suggestion of this kind and all criticism of their work so far: \u201cYou had better wait until our job is done.\u201d dE a WAR IN SCHOOL HISTORIES.In school histories used between 1843 and 1885, the amount of space devoted to wars was about forty per cent.of the books.In text-books used between 1885.and 1897, the average space was only 28.5 per cent.In ten histories published between 1890 and 1904, the average war-space was still further reduced to 26.8; and the newest school histories, those published between 1900 and 1906, have an average of but 24.7 per cent of space on wars.\u2014Advocate of Peace.stories are told of the successful ruses to which they resort to evade the vigilance of the revenue officers.On one occasion, a little fleet of smugglers, while attempting to land cargo on the Cape Breton Coast, sighted a revenue cutter.Using one of their ships specially prepared for the purpose, whose cargo and hull are of little value, as a decoy, they allow her to fall into the hands of the enemy.While the cutter has gone to Quebec or some other post with her prize, the rest of the fleet land their cargo at their convenience.The contraband traffic is chiefly in liquors and tobacco.Wines are so cheap, and the excuse for drinking them so well grounded (for thé water in St.Plerre is very impure) that everybody drinks wine.At the International Hotel, claret takes the place of water at table, and is always on the sideboard for the guests to help themselves.And now our good ship has returned, and farewells must be spoken.After going on board, and while we stand waving good-bye to our friends on the pier, we see more than one face turned away to hide the tears.For in this lonely isle the heart grows fond very quickly, and the departure of every new- made friend is but a call to them to follow to that larger world where life is less circumscribed by space, and human interests and possibilities are more varied.led LANG SYNE.These fair spring days! they carry me back To days of yore, When a group of merry faces thronged The old home door.XR X% XR I see once more, in the sunset glow, A fair child stand: A spray from the pussy-willow tree In her small hand.XR Re Fi Her father\u2019s gift to his little girl Each sweet springtime, First herald to tell of summer's wealth In this cold clime.X% *¥% XR The sunbeams brown hair, In softest wave, And caress the earnest childish face, So still and grave, 2% ee REP She turns her eyes to the quiet grove, And strains her ear For the robin\u2019s note, with promise true, That spring is here.dance on her light RP X¥% XR Then with wistful gaze she seeks the sky To listen long;

that a glimpse of France could be had within easy sail of Halifax; of French customs older than could be found in Paris; of the sweet-smelling cafes with clean white- sanded floors, and bright little Basque girls to wait on you; of the Gens d\u2019Armes and the bell that sounds at ten o'clock for closing; of its cathedral; of its fishing fleets and well-stor- ed warehouses.All this has been pictured and proved true to life.Setting out from Halifax on the SS.St.Pierre, we pass by way of St, Peter\u2019s Canal, from the Strait of Canso, through Bras d\u2019Or Lake, and make the open sea again at North Sydney.On board are several passengers besides our friends: two Yale undergraduates, two commercial travellers, an insurance agent, and the Captain\u2019s little daughter.The Yale men are model stu- dents\u2014never without a German text in their hands.In this respect, they are in marked contrast to our friends, who have evidently forgotten to take corresponding French texts along.The sail through the Bras d\u2019Or is delightful, and has a touch of the romantic about it.To think that you can of the Waters,\u201d with its tiny Indian reservation, and its little cottages dotting the green level at the foot of a steep forest-clad mountain.Here the Indian cultivates his farm, like any white man, and drives his primitive- looking team with a pride in his roadsters\u2019 speed that allows no one to take the road from him.Here also is a famous hostelry, the Seaside House, kept by Mitchell, whole fame as a chef has gone abroad into all those parts, so that, to-day, with his house much enlarged, he ig still compelled to send away many who have travelled far to sit at his table during the summer time.Here also is to be found one of the strong men of Cape Breton, that home of giants, H.N.McDonald.M.D., who has won much fame as a wrestler.It is related of him, and on the authority of a theological student of Queen\u2019s College, Kingston, and therefore admitting of no doubt, that while a student of Medicine at Queens, he issued a challenge to any three men in the college to wrestle him.His challenge was ac- mm a boxer and an athlete had gone abroad through the city.His training in sin- glestick stood him in good stead this night, and with the heavy stick he always carried, he laid out the six men before him.The wri er, during a brief visit to Whycocomagh this summer, saw many changes in the place.The only thing people to assist in this direction, what a change might be effected.No one who is a stranger to this country has any conception of its beauty.All the way from Orangevale on the I.C.R.to Port Hood, on the North- umberland Strait, it is one continuous panorama.From Whycocomagh to Mahone, and thence to Port Hood, roads run on either side of a valley overtop- ped by forest-clad hills.In many places beautiful homesteads brighten the landscape and show what the country is capable of.But the man who undertakes to drive all the way from Or- angevale to Port Hood has entered on a task that will tax all his powers of endurance and patience.For of all the roads with which we are acquainteg, these are the worst.AR RE How the Return Trip may Re Made to Advantage.RE The return trip may be made by way of Lake Ainslie, a beautiful sheet of water into whose basin flows several of the many trout and salmon streams of this country.Further down the lake, on your way to Sydney, is Baddeck, a name familiar from Charles Dudley Warner's \u201cBad- deck and That Sort of Thing.\u201d Here Bell, of telephone fame, had his home on \u201cRed Head,\u201d a high cliff overlooking the broad waters of the Bras d'Or.Not far from Baddeck is the village of Ste.Annes, the home of the Cape Breton giant, Angus McCaskill, whose great feats of strength are household talk in that country.On a visit paid to this picturesque spot, fitting home for such a son, where everything is on a grand scale both in sea and mountain, the grave of the giant was shown us, also the huge boots he wore, and other mementoes of his marvellous strength.He was no faked giant, this man, such as might be exhibited in dime museums, but a man of towering height and physical proportions to REMARKABLE SNAP-SHOT\u2014Leaping salmon trying to overcome a nine-foot perpendicular waterfall on the Big (Published by courtesy of the Intercolonial Railway.)

fashion wise will appear upon fall materials, and which are now being shown in woven striped and invisible large square self-colored designs upon these late summer mohair arrivals.In the minds of many women, mohairs mean fabries whose only bid for consideration is that they will wear like iron, and so are nearly as unwieldy and undesirable.A careful inspection of the present offerings will dispel these objections forever and aye, for the new goods are as finely woven and finished as the most fastidious could desire, and have retained at the same time all of their practical wearing qualities.Smart dressmakers are recommending suits of these materials to their ultra fashionable customers, and are also, rather significantly laying up for their own use later, all of the new crisp

General of the Kingdom, read the nuptial contract, and this contract was signed, in the first place, by Alfonso XIII.and Princess Ena; then by the Queen Mother, the Prince of Wales, the Princesses

Master Royal\u201d and \u201cColne Mistress Royal.\u201d WISDOM OF THE CANINE FAMILY N connection with the Dog Show, 3 which attracted many thousands to the Arena this week, the following stories of canine fidelity and sagacity will make interesting reading: Just where, in the ingenious plan devised by Darwin, the family dog spor- adicated in the chain of evolution, whether he is ancestor or posterity of the first ape, we do not pretend to state, but certainly the dog as we know him today must come in somewhere along the line where brains began to have the power to reason.Compared with some representatives of the present highest type of bipeds, the dog makes a good showing, and when we speak in derision of a man by saying he \u201cis going to the dogs,\u201d we treat that faithful beast to a double- dyed libel.The power to reason does not seem to be distributed equally among them, years old, the property of Mrs.W.E.Phillips.neither is it confined to particular\u2019 breeds, and perhaps in reality all dogs might be marvels of intelligence if their possibilities were developed, and perhaps, as with the individual, striking cases of especial note are merely the result of change environment.A Maine man has a fine blooded St.Bernard, a specimen of that wonderful breed whose intelligence has proved of such inestimable blessing to snow buried travellers in the glacier-barred pathways of the higher Alps.This dog often went with his master to the meat market.One day a dime was given him, and he discovered that the placing of a piece of money on the counter meant the forthcoming of a juicy bone.It soon became his daily habit to trot down alone to the shop with a dime between his teeth, wait until the screen door was opened by some customer, and slip in.He would select the particular butcher who he knew would attend to his wants, waiting patiently with slow wagging tail if the man was busy, until if perhaps the man was occupied too long to suit his dogship\u2019s ideas of courtesy, he would gently poke him a with his paw until the bone was secured, when, and not until then, he would loose his hold on the money.It became known over town that Bruno did his own marketing, and many of his human friends would put amar era Som M PR TE réa TA LE BL money nor could he be beguiled into, substituting a bone or any choice morsel in its stead.That dogs weigh values, and decide what things are worth while and what not, is shown by a bright little black and tan owned by a friend of mine.This dog had a special fondness for chasing chickens, not to hurt them, but just to hear the clatter and cackle and flutter of the perturbed hens.When caught at this disturbance, he was always locked up in a certain woodshed near the house to suffer the penalty of his crime.One day he lay snoozing in the sun when a flock of scratching biddies came by.The dog opened his eyes, started up, then dropped back and he seemed to be meditating.At last, he suddenly made up his mind, and leaped at the group all one animated bark of bliss, sending the hens scattering in all directions, feather ruffled and squalling with terror.Then after the fun was over, the sinner marched to the door of the prison where he had been wont to suffer his punishment, and duly sat down before it, looking up into his mistress\u2019s face as much as to say: \u201cDo your worst; I've had my fun, and am ready to pay the piper.\u201d *¥% ee WH Wonderful Powers Of Perception.Several years ago a horseman who followed the races in the East was attended by a beautiful shepherd dog

the proprietor said, bringing $1.10 in change.\u201d What effect this bounteous living had on his dog digestion we never learned, but he must have reached canine heaven for once at least.That a dog should learn to go to a certain shop for his food seems not so remarkable as another instance of a collie, the property of a ne\u2019er-do-well in a small town, a man who eked out a bare living doing odd jobs among the farmers when out of sufficient money to keep him in his two crying needs, whiskey and tobacco.His one friend was this mangy, mongrel collie, whose habit it was to take a dime, when his master was so fortunate as to secure one for the purpose, and trot to the village grocery, and there standing on his hind legs before a shelf where a certain brand of tobacco was kept, drop the coin and pick off one of the bags with his teeth, when he would trot out again, disturbing no one.He never tried to take a bag without leaving the one A Murray So Tie.An Offering of Handsome Shot

grumbling at the poor food he had to eat.\u201cIf we only had a cup of sake\u201d (which is a Japanese drink) \u201cit would warm us up,\u201d he would say, and then he would tell his son how when he was a young man he had always made enough money to buy sake for his friends, as well as himself.The poor young man was very troubled at his father\u2019s grumblings, and worked all the harder so ag to earn more money to take home.One day he was wondering Our Victorious Canadian Runner MR.WILLIAM SHERRING The King of Greece, At Athens, May, 1906.This Statue is the registered Trade Mark of THE

heard this sound before, so he followed the sound until he came to a beautiful little waterfall.He stooped down to drink the clear water, and, to his great surprise, he found that it was not water, but sake.He was so pleased with his discovery, that he immediately filled his water bottle, and ran home with it to his old father, who was so delighted that he drank it nearly all up.The old man gave some of the sake to a neighbor, and told him the tale of the wonderful cascade.This neighbor quickly spread the news, and when the young man arrived the next day at the falls with a large water- bottle, he found many of his neighbors there before him, each laden with jars and water-bottles to carry away the sake, But when they tasted the liquid, to their rage they found it was only water, and they were so angry with the young man, they wanted to duck him in the waterfall.He, however, when he saw their anger, hid himself, and, after they had all left, crept out, and tasted the stream.Yes, it was sake again, and so it happened for the dutiful son it flowed sake, but for the greedy neighbors it was only water.When the Emperor of Japan heard this story he rewarded the wood-cutter for being dutiful to his father, and even changed the name of the year in his honor, and to teach all children in the future to obey and care for their parents.GIGANTIC NURSERY.The Winter Palace in Russia

among Canadian Universities, being noted especially for the excellence of its Arts Course.Rev.Dr.John Forrest, the President, has ever had the best interests of education at heart, and he has surrounded himself with a staff of very able professors.Dal- housie graduates are found in the highest walks of life the world over.The Alumni Association of Dal- housie College and University, of which interesting illustrations are given in this week\u2019s issue of The Standard, held its first meeting on April 25th, 1871.The list of its presidents is an honored one.It includes: J.H.Chase,

the city \u2018of Halifax in trust, that the same shall be invested and form a fund to be called the McLeod University Fund, and the interest and income of which shall be applied to the endowment of three or more professional chairs in said College as they may deem proper; but this bequest is made upon these conditions, namely, that if at any time the said College or University should cease to exist, or be closed for two years, or be made a sectarian College, then and in any such case the said fund and all accumulations thereof shall go to the said Synod of the Maritime Provinces of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, to be used for the purpose of higher education in connection with said Synod, and it is further stipulated that no part of this Fund shall ever be used, either by said

vouth in the higher branches of science and literature.\u201d\u2019 The original endowment was derived from funds collected at the port of Castine in Maine, during its occupation in 1814 by Sir John C.Sherbrooke, then Lieutenant- Governor of Nova Scotia.These funds the British Government authorized the Earl of Dalhousie, Sir John\u2019s successor, to expend in | \u2018\u201cdefraying the expenses of any improvement which it might seem expedient to undertake in the Province\u2019\u2019; and the Earl, believing that \u2018\u2018a Seminary for the higher branches of education is much needed in Halifax\u2014the seat of the Legislature\u2014of the courts of jus- tice\u2014of the military and mercantile society,\u201d decided upon \u201cfounding a College or Academy on the same plan and principle of that at Edinburgh,\u201d \u2018\u2018open to all occupations and sects of religion, restricted to such branches only as .e are applicable to our present state, and having the power to expand with the growth and improvement of our society.\u2019 The original Board of Governors consisted of the Governor- General of British North America, the Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, the Bishop, the Chief Justice, and President of Council, the Provincial Treasurer, and the Speaker of the House of Assembly.DALHOUSIE COLLEGE AND ITS GRADUATES\u2014James G.Bruce, the Class President, and a most popular graduate.After unsuccessful efforts on the part of both the British Government and the Governors of the College to effect a union with the only other College then existing in the Province, an institution modelled after the University of Oxford, this College went into operation in 1838, under the Presidency of the Rev.Thomas McCulloch, D.D., and with a staff of three professors.By an Act passed in 1841, University powers were conferred on the College, and the appointment of the Governors was vested in the Lieutenant-Governor and council.In 1843 President McCulloch died, and in 1845 the College was closed, the Governors considering it \u2018\u2018advisable to allow the funds of the institution to accumulate.\u201d In 1848 an Act was passed, authorizing the Lieutenant-Governor and Council to appoint a new Board of Governors \u2018\u2018to take such steps for rendering the institution useful and efficient as to His Excellency may seem fit.\u201d This Board, from 1849 to 1859, employed the funds of the University to support a High School.In 1863, the College was re-or- ganized under an Act of the Legislature, extending its basis and making important alterations in its constitution.After providing for appointment of a Board of Governors, with duly defined powers, to control the property and funds of the institution and generally to manage its affairs, the statute enacts that \u2018\u2018whenever any body of Christians, of any religious persua- DALHOUSIE COLLEGE AND GRADUATES\u2014S.A.Morton, M.A,, Secretary-Treasurer of the

or science, approved of by the Board, such body in making such endowment, to the extent of twelve hundred dollars a year, shall have a right, from time to time, for every chair endowed, to nomirfate a Governor to take his seat at the Board, with the approval of the Board of Governors and of the Governor-in-Couneil, and shall also have a right, from time to time, to nominate a Professor for such chair, subject to the approval of the Board of Governors; and in the event of the death, removal, or resignation of any person nominated under this section, the body nominating shall have power to supply the vacancy thus created.\u201d , In pursuance of the Act of 1863, the Presbyterian Church of the Lower Provinces closed their College, and agreed to support two chairs in this University; the Synod of the Maritime Provinces in connection with the Church of Scotland founded one chair; and the College opened in 1864, under che Principalship of Rev.James Ross, D.D., and with an Arts Faculty of six Professors.In 1868, a Faculty of Medicine was organized, which in 1875 developed into the Halifax Medical College.In 1885 the Faculty was re-organized, and the Halifax Medical College affiliated.DALHOUSIE COLLEGE AND GRADUATES\u2014Arthur Moxon, who won honors in classics, and who is a Rhodes Scholar.ITS ou À "]
