Hall and J. K. O'N'eel, of Itiddle. rrini'ipal Halls address was in part as follows: "The plighted word of the German nation cannot he trusted. Thus we had to et out of Germany's way or put her out of the way. The Kfade and hih school pupils of our nation are the Heed corn for the citizens of the future. The natural leaders of t hts you nrer genera t ion. the men I to in 21 to :u, are heitiK lost thru ( his Kreat war, and in this Instance tlu teacher has his and her work to do That is, they must hold the pupil as Ioiik as possible and hrmp t he best and educate to I he fullest extent the younger generation. Kor w hat purpose? Kor 1 he n const riic tion of the new world. The teacher must plan for the I ut lire and fore cast the plans of the Kood future of t he country. The schools need no lecture on patriotism, as the Itest educated are the most patriotic, as has been shown by their response to the calls made upon ihem." Ma ny ot her interest Ink and note : worthy facts were staled and much was brought home to Ihe club thru Mr. Hall's words that will do a I world of K"od both to the teacher i and pupil. Mr. Mall closed with t hese w olds : "Let us hope for t he development of a Nationalism based ' upon co-operative and co-ordinated , sectionalism In which the petty prejudices of a jealous and distrust ful pro Incialisiu shall have no pa rt." 1 Mr. Hall atmoinled some commit tees for the lienetit uf the club: School Ad m hit f rat ion ; W.
