This condition affords us a splendid opportunity of devel-' oping our talent in the altering of ill-fitting garments, a branch of the tailoring industry that is a very important one for the reason, that when a garment is wrong in its fitting quality, it requires the best care and workmanship to correct the little faults. Anybody can make a mistake, but to know the mistake and then to correct it is to show a disposition to excel, and it is only a question of time when a boy who adopts this rule to work or to live by will succeed in whatever he may undertake. , The tailor shop is very proud of the football squad, and well we may be, for tbe tailor shop is represented by one of our clever trouser makers, and the tailor shop wishes to say that if he can play ball one-half as well as he can tailor then our physical director has a world beater. Mr. Moran's method of explaining the workings of his department through the help of his apprentices is both new and pleasing and wre trust that we may have more and more of such instructive and pleasant evenings during the present school year and hope to see other depart ments follow in the footsteps of Mr. Moran and his bright and clever assist ants.
