Mrs. J.E. Campbell returned on Thursday evening from a visit of 
some months with Ontario friends and relatives.

Rev. C.G. and Mrs. Corneille, formerly of this city, are renewing 
acquaintances here, where they have numerous friends and 
admirers. Mrs. Corenhile's brother, Mr. Rev. Davison, of 
Toronto, accompanied the party on an extended tour of the 
prairie provinces, and British Colubia, with a view to locating in 
some attractive spot. Mr. Corneille obedient to his physician's 
orders, is taking a year's vacation to rest his throat.

The school board has made a radical departure for the ensuing 
term, in taking over the kindergarten as an experiment. This, it 
will be remembered was begun by Mrs. Terry, of London, Engl., 
who is a specialist in this work, as well as in music, drawing and 
painting. By adding Mrs. Terry to the staff (making the ninth 
teacher) the services of a specialist are secured for the whole 
public school, as she is to devote at least one day a week to this 
work. The scheme of uniting with Lacombe and Red Deer to 
secure a special teacher for this work, failed to materialize. 

The school board held a special meeting on Friday morning last, 
to consider the resignation of Miss T. Christie, who has secured 
a lucrative position as secretary of a large lumber company in 
Kasto, B.C. Her place will be hard to fill, especially as the board 
are determined to keep Westaskiwin to the front as in the past by 
maintaining the best staff procurable, engaging none but first 
class certificated teachers, or those with degrees from some 
reputable university. A substitute is to be engaged till a suitable 
teacher can be secured. 

Paris Ont. Aug 17, - Yesterday morning Mrs. Harmier, of 
Pattsville attempted to cross to the further platform of the new 
station in front of an incoming train, which she intended taking, 
and was struck and instantly killed.
