Scorn not mine efforts, critic ! restrain the jeerTill I have said my part. What though my voice

Speak of a calling- that is not thy choice.

Did not the Master choose it. Did the sneer

Of those whose ])ride of heart refused to hear

Turn him from His ])ath ? Did He not upon Genesareth's Beach

Call the chosen twelve and send them forth to teach

The great wide world? Did not their voices cheer

The sons of men? Now, who were they who led the van

In every land and clime beneath the sun

Wherein the friends of Knowledge fought and wonTheir victory for the lifting up of man !

—All hail the teacher ! for to him 'tis givenTo light man's path on earth and lead to heaven.—P.L.G.

[12] The Year Book

A NORMAL HUNT.

''Gentlemen," said the right vahant Knight, Sir Thomas Terry-

berry Hortop Jones, addressing a party of friends who were enjoyingan after-dinner chat on the lawn before Blackhall Castle. ''There is

a mighty Wily Coon in these parts, and we must Hunter.'' "Hunter!"exclaimed a dozen voices, "sure we will." ''Gee," said farmer Smith,"It makes one feel young to think of it; does it not Parson Staples?''"Bless me but it does," said the Parson, "and I'll give my next wed-

ding Fee just to See that animal, and if I do there will be JVanless."

"What are you talking about Parson?" queried farmer Little, "Youcouldn't hit the face of that Longfield if you tried."

Just then they spied the old Gray Coon sitting on the Banks of

IVhiteman's Brook, making friends with a shy little Trout in the

Brook. "Now Parson," said the Knight, "Fll present you with the best

Crosier the Goldsmith can make, if you keel her over with the first

shot." "Parson is your Armstrong enough to hold the gun?" inter-

jected Squire JVatson. Hold! my Durling you're trying to Rohh me of

the prize," said the Parson as he dropped on one knee to take aim.

Bang went the gun, and away went the Coon. Bang, bang, bang, went

they all, but with the same success. Then, there was a wild rush, the

Squire leading the Van, closely followed by the Vickers, Capel, 'Grif-

fins, and Coiitts, who shuffled along like so many Campbells. "Comealong there Cavanagh," shouted Murphy. "We can't a Foord to lose

her." "My arm shook like Jelly when the green leaves began to Rus-

sell," said the crestfallen Parson as he joined the Knight on the Banks,"but then I've had no practice since last JVinter." "I shall Rozve youover while the others Ford the stream below," remarked the Knightnot heeding the Parson's excuse. "Holdaivay to the right," he shouted,"she won't run Farr till she takes to the Timbers." "'Twas a MissFortune," said he turning to his companion, "That I should have asked

you to try first when the Clark and Porter are both good shots."

"Hooey," came a voice as the Parson and the Knight scrambled up the

Banks. "This way," bellowed squire Watson with a voice like the

Blair of a trumpet. Bang, went the Shepherd's gun, and down camethe Coon. The Shepherdson rushed in and seized her, but the Squire

seeing that she was not dead, roared to him, "She takes Fitzgerald,stand back and let Burkholder." They soon dispatched her, and then

the Knight turning and slapping the Shepherd on the back, said, "Youdid it up Broivn. You Tuck your time. "W1ien we Carver you shall

have half of her." "No; No;" returned the Shepherd, just give meone Little Cunningham, and that will do me." "The skin will look fine

on the Parson's Sleigh next Winter," said the Squire. "How shall wecook the meat? demanded the Knight. "O'Boyle it," returned several

voices in unison. "Good Evans," it is a long time since I first tasted

Coon," exclaimed Si Perkins. "Wêll, then, gentlemen," resumed the

Knight, "since our day's sport is over, and very successful, JamesBruce will Wheeler to the castle and Turner over to the cook and to-

Morrozv you will all be on hand for a dinner on the Greene.—"No.

Who e'er has a song in her heart

And Irish wit to gladden her way.

At the Barrie schools she was noted,As musician and class poet,

At Normal she followed the good workShe'll make a way and hoe it.

Methods in teaching and managing school

Science and a' the rest

Cast no grim spectres along her pathBut the Art work—makes her guess.

Clarke, Greta M.

Down in the country on a hill

A little red school-house, quaint and still,

Is famed for centuries to come.Miss Clarke was once the teacher.

The boys of all size, to the school.

Were attracted quite; they learned her rule.

Rilla "who has had splendid vocal training has delighted T.N.S.

assemblies on many occasions by her vocal selections. Althoughshe always keeps abreast of her work yet she never neglects pleas-

ure, and is thoroughly optimistic, wisely believing:—

"'Tis not the cup of bitterness that we should fear to sip,

'Tis only the sorrow we try to borrow, will make us lose our grip."

Cunningham, Winnifred.

In Huron County her childhood spent,On mental training her ambition bent

;

And in Goderich Collegiate, Winnifred wentTo head the roll.


With Matric. in hand in a few years' time, ;

Miss Cunningham strayed to CHnton cHme,There she at Psyc, teaching, and even at rhyme.

Headed the roll.

In a school of her own with rod in hand.Our heroine showed tact in each command,And when she left, boys small and tall

Headed the roll.;

At Toronto Normal her needle she plied,Her teaching scarce could be criticized.

May the lucky one who wins her pride,Be a grateful soul.

Davidson, Hattie.

The subject of this sketch was born near Brockville, the date of

her birth would interest no one. She lived unknown till she passedfour years at Brockville Collegiate, after which she attended the

Cornwall Model School. Being now a full fledged school-marmshe taught a rural school in Leeds County where she remained

•

eighteen months. Wider fame came by a two years' engagement in

the public school of Marmora. She is now at Toronto Normal,

guiding a sure and steady course to success.

Ford, Florence L.

Florence Lillian Ford was born in Wiltshire, England, a few-

years ago. In the town of Great Yarmouth, Florence was takeninto the High School fold, in exchange for a little information

given them at written examinations. Four years in the High School

brought her to the Pupil Teachers' Training Centre, and the two

years spent there brought her to a position to receive a ParchmentCertificate for teaching. To make this permanent many inspectorsand public school officials had to be satisfied from year to year, andbefore they finished it she settled the question by moving to Can-ada.

Forsythe, Eunice A.

Painting, sewing, singing,Onward through Normal she goes.Each morning sees some task begun,Each evening sees it close.

Lesson plans over. Masters' tests done,Then a sense of relief—A Waterloo won.

Fortune, Edith E.

Near Chesley where the Saugeen waters flow,

The light first blinked in Edith's infant eyes ;

Here High School pedagogues first "put her wise"

For drill in Durham's Model School. And so

Miss Fortune unto fortune seemed to grow.

By two years' practice (as one might surmise).Now from the Normal Halls she seeks a prize,

A parchment trust which will her wisdom show.

Whom will she train the next? A score, Or ONE?To-morrow rosy pathways may beguile.

Her lips at present into laughter run;

But ''time will tell" so we can wait a while.

A light is in her eyes, not of the sun;

Her face suggests the Mona Liza smile.

Holdaway, Augusta L.

Born—well not so very long ago, with red hair and a red-hot

temper. If her early teachers had turned her pugnacity to educa-

tional advantages she might have had a brilliant career. However,Time toned down both hair and temper although Betts says there

is no connection between the two. At any rate the children in her

charge during two vears of teaching escaped bodily injurv. After

five years of care-free life at home she plunged into life at the

Toronto Normal School.

MacDonnell, Helen.

The students of the T. N. S. agree that Helen MacDonnell is a

splendid representative from Trenton, the town noted for pretty,

witty, clever girls. She has a most unassuming manner, a fine sense

of humour and a delightful blush which always appears when her

excellent work is commended. At Picton Model School and Tren-ton High School she easily gained honours. Her motto is.

—It's easy enough to be pleasant when life flows by like a song,But if you're worth while, be there with a smile,

When everything goes dead wrong.

McCorkell, Mildred.

Mildred McCorkell received her early education in the prettylittle village of Brechin. From there she wended her way to St.

cate paths she entered Orillia Model School where she endeared

plodded on, and after three years spent at Collegiate, and a term

at Barrie Model, she graduated a full fledged pedagogue.

McFarland, Anne.

It was Anne McFarland's good fortune to be nurtured within

Dufferin's bounds, and also to attend Orangeville High School,

which has maintained its reputation as the recruiting-ground of

those aspiring for pedagogical honours. Somehow Anne became

susceptible to the insiduous influence, and as a result found herself

at Durham Model School. At the Toronto Normal she has endearedherself to her many associates.

Perkins, Pearl E.

Pearl E. Perkins, our class musician,Cherishes memories of the north.

In Gravenhurst her school days passedEre to Orillia she went forth.

Of wit this maiden hath abundance,Is sunny, happy, fair,

—This ''jewel" delights in helping others,Possesses talents great and rare,

Before we cease our eulogy.Oh let us speak with zest,

''Her music, Oh what charms it hath

To soothe the savage breast."

Rea, Bertha M.

Bertha M. Rea was born at Reaboro, a small village named after

her progenitors. Later on she migrated to Omemee, where she

continued to pursue her education amid surroundings which were

instrumental in producing many other shining lights in the educa-

tional world. She also studied at Lindsay Collegiate Institute, from

which she graduated to Lindsay Model School. After some three

or four years in the teaching profession, she attended the Toronto

Normal School.

Reid, Janie I.

It was a "nine days' wonder" to the good people of Campbell-ville when Janie I. Reid announced the fact that she wâs going- to

begin teaching down by Lake Erie. Finding teaching more profit-

able than Domestic Science on the farm, the hours shorter, and the

holidays more frequent, she decided to continue in the profession.After three years' teaching, she attended Guelph Collegiate Institute,

and obtained her Normal Entrance.

Robinson, liulu E.

At Piondhead she joined the hopeful band.Who daily to the red brick school house came.

To Bradford High School later she was sent.

Here she has worked hard her callhig to fulfill,

May success follow in her footsteps still.

Robinson, Marion.

Marion Maynard attended the liradford Model School. After

teaching for about two years she changed her name. She is knownat the T. N. S. as "Mrs. Robinson."

Through having lived with her we others shall

Take patience, labour, to our heart and hand;

And from her hand and heart a braver cheer

To strengthen ours through the passing year.

Smith, Edna.

The inevitable Smith doth appear alway

Yea, everywhere it has its fame,

And so, in the Normal School, Grade A.,

Edna upholds the age old name.

Studied? At Walkerton High, and Durham Model

Taught? At Grand Valley, they say, "rale weel."

Brains? With an easy problem she might cope:—

Charms? You'll hae to borrow a microscope.

Aim? 'Tis always put at the top of her plan

But a deeper aim? Oh guess if you can.

Smythe, Frances.

When asked this biography to write

T nearly died from fear and fright

In forty years perhaps I mightNot be in such a dreadful plight.

Perhaps by then I'll be a writer

A poet, sculptor or a fighter.

But what glories can I now portray?

What works of fanê or might display?

[24] The Year Book

All I can do is tell my name,

My nationality, home and aim.

A Yankee by birth I am 1 trowA loyal Canadian now you knowToronto Normal I now attend

A teacher in training you apprehendAll that's left for me to tell,

—Victoria Harbour is where I dwell.

Thompson, Ethel.

Ethel Thompson attended the Collejîate in her own town. Wherebetter could she go ? Later she went abroad a little way to Durhamfor Model, but she could not help it. Two years she taught, then

further journeyed to the Queen City Normal. These wanderingsthrough this world of care have not weakened her love for "HomeSweet Home" and "(J)wen Sound."

Turner, Christina >I.

Christina M. Turner is proud to claim Hillsdale as her native

village. She qualified for her Junior Leaving standing at Barrie

Collegiate Institute, where she was universally recognised as a

favourite. She never paraded her talents, but was always "there,"when the reports were ])ublished. Barrie Model School next contri-

buted to her laurels,—Her motto being "Excelsior," we find her in

1914 nobly threading her wav through miscellaneous subjects at the

T. N. S.

Wanless, Lily M.

Lily M. Wanless was born in Blyth, where she received her Pub-lic and High" School education. After this she graduated from the

said, 'To know her is to love her." Merry, clever, vivacious, she is

the possessor of a striking personality. Margaret is also a pleasing

elocutionist, and even if extremely mischievous, can do justice to

sober selections.

Capel, John.

One honest John Capel, of the county of Grey,Worked many a summer a-forkin' the hay.And to ColHiigwood Collegiate in winter he'd go,

'

Though cold was the weather or deep was the snow.

Now this he was constantly heard to declare

"What I cannot prevent I will cheerfully bear;

Though misfortune may come, with a light heart I'll greet herFor a smile on the face make life's vinegar sweeter."

For in everv case remember, you can't make worry pay.

"Forward," the time bells call,

"Forward !" they whisper all;

Nearer the looking glassMoves the one hundred.

Forward the ladies fair.

Not till they've brushed their hair,

Not till they look "just sweet,"

Moves the one hundred.

'i'heirs not a dawdling gait

Quick-marching one hundred.

Lockers to right of them !

Lockers to left of them !

Lockers in front of them !

Noisv, excited throng.Rush the one hundred.

Onward with force they came.Onward with terror dumb!

Oh, they're "going some,"

Right through the ante-room

All of their hoi)es a-blcom,—r>ut some unlucky few—

Late! Bitter word of doom.Last bell has thundered.

Then they come back

But not, not the one hundred.

ONE DAY A WEEK.

Our fun is work at Normal School.

Above all things, there is a rule

That every one, come cloud or shine,

Confronts a class without a wdiine,

One day a week.

A premonition of the fact.

Is got the day before we act;

It's nothing but a paper slip,

I)Ut makes you pucker up your lip;

One day a week.

The facts are stated blunt and plain,

What to teach, how long remain;

The class we have, the critic, too,

I'he rest remains for us to do

One day a week.

Then, to the library we roam.

Securing books, to cart off home,

Containing facts about the case

That on the morrow we're to face.

One day a week.

And then there comes the worst of all

A lesson plan—the thing we call :

It shows the things we're going to teach,

And by what means our aim we'll reach

One day a week.

That morning—heads have ruffled hair:

Plain evidence of wear and tear.

[80] The Year Book

Short hours of sleep have left a trace

Implanted.on each haggard face,

One day a week.

But next appears the trying thing—

The knowledge at the Kids to fling,

With several critics watching youAnd noting things one shouldn't do,

One day a week.

But after everything is done,The cause for worry's just begun,For we have still to learn with fear

The critic's words 'gainst our career.

For praise or blame we shed no tear.

But sometimes to it come quite near

One day a week.—Vân.

A REVERIE.

As life its course doth forward run

Ere yet we reach the setting sun.

Full oft we take a backward viewTo bring to mind a scene or two

Of days gone by.

Before the mind's eye, bright or faint

Some form of master, sage or saint

Who in this life played well his partAnd left his impress on the heart

Will rise to view.

E'en as these simple lines I write

A form doth loom before my sight—

The smiling face, but stern no less.

The beard, the spectacles—you guess

The one I mean.

He stands as oft he stood in School,When teaching us how class to rule.

While sounding praises to each name

Upon the teachers' Scroll of fame,—You've seen him thus.

He looks contented as he oughtWho had so well his lessons taught.Then smiling bows, he fades away.And in the twilight soft and gray

He disappears.—P.L.G.
