This made s total sum oi $180.00 to be distributed in the Charlotetown dis- trict. - 0i this amount the west Kent boys and girls. woo competed. won so the reward oi their shorts the handsome sum oi $140.00. ‘ me physical activities oi the school during the year were well look_ pd adtprJly Mr. Campbell and Mir. llll-iIl-uwil. U318 directors ‘oi Athletic and Cadet work respectively.

The West Kent and Queen Square lnte-rscholiisticfiports were held in Sop-t. lost and were keenly contested nild exceedingly interesting. In the entire score there was but a diiier- once oi one point, which was in iovor 0t Queen Siluare. Any unbiased ob- servor oi -the events must, undoubt- edly have been impressed with the excellent showing mods by the boys oi both schools. and convinced that the proud record oi this dlty in the reolm oi sixort will be well main-

liy those coming athletes. Later on in the yenr in the month oi Fébllllilfy there were held in the Arena Rink the winter sports, in which boys’ nnd girls’ skating races, and hockey were the main ieatu-rcs. 'l‘hese sports, especially Aliose held lil tllc winter, arcllirgcly attended nnd are much enjoyed by the parents and those interested.

Tile nloat outstanding‘ poriormsnces

in athletic achievement were made, however, iby our boys when they com- peted on the 12th inst. at New Glas- gow, N. S., in the ilriit lniterscholas- tic sports held lli the Mllfllllne Prov- inces. At this meet West Kent was WOPilllly represented by Fred Ronn- huil, Percy Cameron, Donald Finlay- son, Freil Hnll. Cllarics iMlltheson and Clarence Rannillan - six line young athletes, wlllo ‘have brought additional distinction to our School and City. These boys won easily over all the other schools ‘represented, and car- ried oil‘ the Cup ior the highest ag- gregate, making in all 31 points, Muncton being second with 20, Syd- lley Academy 3rd with 19, New Glas- gow with 14, Ailitlgonlsh with 12, Queen Square ‘Wllllll 9, nnd Iuverness with 3. ‘Further, one oi our repre- sentatives, the invincible Fred Rana- hun, won the individual cup ior the highest individual aggregate oi points made at this Maritime meet. This is certainly n splendid ell-owing and one oi which citizens in general, may well be -prou‘d. The Evening News, New Glasgow. commenting on this ilrst Maritime Sports meet in its issue oi the 13th inst. said in part as iollows: "The islanders were the beet trained oi (lilo lot. They knew how to start in the sprinlts and gave every evidence oi having been, taught the iine points oi the game. Charlottetown llns long held o. tine reputation ns a training field (ior i/ruck and iielil athletes and yesterday in tile Interscholastic eponts they egaiin enhnncedlthat rep- uitdtion." ‘Iotcover the expenses oi lihe iboye attending the‘ meet, the Ro- tary Clu-b generously contributed the sum oi thirty wlollors. and the bai- nnce was provided irom the iunds 0i the School. On behsli oi the boys 1 thank the members oi the Rotary or- ganization ior their active nnd ‘tan- gible interest in the promotion oi sport in this city- diuring the present and past years. llliay l also sa/y that the success oi the work in athletics ls mainly due to the excellent train- ing the boys receive under the cop- aible direction oi their instruitor, Mr. Campbell.

In Cadet work the excellence oi the training received iby the-boys. and the general interest in therwork was clearly set iorth in the Daily Press

, oi this city mllowlng the inspection

oi the Corps oi both schools at Vic- tonia Park on the niiernoon oi Wed- nesday, May 30th, lest. The ac- count ae there given gives n very fine description oi ithe work accom- plished and the results achieved. I cannot d0 better than quote the re- i port as therein contained and which is as iollows :—- "Beiore n crowd of spectators whose numbers bespok great interest in t-he work, the Cadet Corps oi West Kent and. Queen Square Schools went through their annual inspecgion on tho parade grounds int Victoria Park. Wednesday aiternoon. The inspecting oiilcer was Capt. 7H. lM. Logan, Halliax.

During and siter the diilerem man- oeuvres oi the twio corps, the specta- tors were unanimous in their praise oi the manner in wiblch. the cadets welit through their paces, and it may be solely sold that seldom has an in- spection so excellent in steadiness. discipline, nnd periectlon oi drill been seen in this city.

The salute on the march past was taken by His Honour Lieutenant Governor llenrtz, nnd the wide inter- est that ls being taken in the work oi cadet trninlng was further evidenc- ed iby the ‘Presence oi His Worship Mayor MnoKenna.

Important as ore the lines oi in.

struotion already reierred to, none is perhaps oi greater importance than tihe study oi music. This sub- lect is under the capable direction oi Proi. Bull and has been most inter- elllllflly Presented and carefully taken up throughout the year, No Olher study. possibly. goes lilrfllei’ to- wards promoting happiness in the home than music. It brings together the members oi u iamily, ensures harmony, nnd produces pence. Sing. lnig is like sunshine in our lives. iliunners, elevates the tastes, nnd m. llncs tlie intelligence oi ll people. Time, therefore, taken up and nlonoy spent in thecultlviltion oi music shnll bring large proilts to the community as well as to the individual.

Various pulblic iunciiiong were held (luring ithe your, and were most suc- cessiiully carried out. The ilrst oi these wns ill connection with the Armistice Day celebration on Nev. ltlvh, when all the city lpupils march- ed to the public square and took piirt in the celebration by their partici- lliitlon iin tlic singing oi the sacred songs isclected for thin, occasion.

Following this there was given in the Slfliilil Theatre on Nov. 14th, be- iore in crowded house, one oi the host concerts that this sdhool has put on ior some years. The ‘programme was well selected, most interesting, and exceptionally well rendered.

The Christmas closing programme and ‘the Arbor and Empire Doy exer- cises were also well curried out, and lniich enjoyed by those who were prc- sent at these entertainments. At the limiter exercises excellent essays on the British ‘Enipilre and Arbor Day were read iby George Raymond and Eleanor Mullltmnndiinsplring aildress- es, appropriate to the occasion. were delivered ‘by Mr. W. E. Bentley, K. C., and (Mr. F. J. Nash. ing oi a number oi maple trees on tile school grounds also ior-med a fitting part oi the observnnces oi this day.

In addition to those customary an- nual functions iillere were, moreover, held suitable observances oi Save the Forest ‘Day on April 19th and oi Mngnn Charts Day on the 16th inst. Mr. C. G. Duiiy, K. C., was the speaker in connection with restora- tion rand forest conservation, and in an admirable. imiprcssive, and inter- esting address placed the. sslienit iezl- tmres oi this subject beiore the senior pupils o! the school. ‘

Magma. Chsrtn {Day on the 15th inst. the 710th anniversary oi the grunting oii this great document oi liberty, was observed by the teachers’, using the‘ history hour to explain the speci- ilc statements oi Ulla great charter, its significance, and its subsequent re- sult. Observances oi this day ore taking place in all the nations oi Grentt Britain nnd Ireland, the United States, Canada, (Newfoundland, Aus-

Jrnlla, South Africa. and New Zen- lsn»d——tlie seven great English-speak- ing nations. These celebrations are promoted by a. group oi interested

citizeiis oi these countries, culled the >

International Magna Charts. Day As- sociation, whose object is, primar- ily. to inculcate-in the minds oi our people the common knowledge and pride in this ihistorlcnl event and the spirit oi personal liberty which must be vlgllsntly‘ soioguivrded to endure; secondly, to emphasize the unity oi ideals and ‘aspirations oi all English- spenkillig people irom their common origin iilnltil the present; and thirdly. above all. to promote amlty. good- will, and understanding among these seven nations as to the greatest eaie- guord to iiiutu-re world peace.

Two distinguished ed-ucaltionallsts, namely, the Rev. Dr. Moore. Presl- ilent oi King's College. Hsliiax, and Mr. John Lewis Paton, M. A., ‘Man- chester, England. visited West Kent during the latter part oi the yeoir, and delivered thoughtiiul and inspir- ing addresses to the pupils oi the sen- ior grades. Both oi these noted men oi letters laid great stress on the im- pontance oi forming in the plastic stage oi liio those habits oi indus- try, concentration, nnd honesty. that alone ore worth wihile and perman- ant.

Highly pleased were these great scholars with the reception they re- ceived nt West Kenn, and most pro- nounced were they iin their praise oi the slinging performed ‘by the Dillllls yimder Pnoi. Bull's direction. Dr. Moore snid that on one occasion only hnd he heard "0 Canada" sung wiilh such spirit and iervor, and that oc- casion was on a visit to Lille, llirnnce, when he and other visitors were warmly welcomed lby the citizens oi that city. Mr. Potion expressed lllis deep appreciation by remarking that he had travelled all over Canada nnd had bee/rd many groilips oi school children sing, but that nowhere in his Canadian toil-r oi school visitation had he met with silvginli. which reminded him so much oi the singing in the schools oi his native land, both ior‘ tone nnd ewpresslon, as that which he had (‘he pleasure oi listening to nt West Konl. ~ ‘ '
