S. Wilson, In the, chair and a full attendance of members. Records show that the j association Is experiencing a very! successful year. The speaker of the evening was T. W. Hall, recently appointed to' this inspectorate, to whom, on behalf of the association, the chair-1 man extended a very sincere greeting, i In an address that was always Interesting, sometimes of a remin-. Iscent nature and with a fine inspirational tone.-Mr. Hall covered: many phases of his experiences asi inspector in me uanooo. onucoun and Peace River -districts. The old' and vital roadway, was well portrayed, its historic associations and ever present'scentc attraction, the "precipice "rt&el jWrte by the trail were vividly, If briefly, described. The nearness of the Rocky Mountains with their message of hope and the assurance of their permanence was certain to oe oi rare spiritual encouragement to those who see them dally and a solace to offset trying discouragements. The Peace River Block, which had but 23 schools three years ago and now has 70 schools, a population that has increased to .13,000 people and an average yield cf 35 bushels of wheat to the acre Compared with an all-Canada average of 15, Is assuredly one of rare, pro ....... mlse. Its newly arrived .--J --A population consists almost entirely of experienced settlers of the finest type. The speaker was emphatic tliat mere size was of little value to a country. Its greatness depended on the spiritual values of its people. The future of Canada depended on the Ideals of its inhabitants. That the prestige of Canada stands very high In Europe and particularly In Trance was effectively Illustrated by a reference to a personal experience he had when he visited an estam-inet in the war zone where he had been bllletted during the war. The sacrifice made by the 55,000 Cana dians who fell in the World War demanded the highest standard of living from those . who reap the benefits of their unselfishness. We must remind ourselves of this lest through lapse of time we become careless and unworthy of our heritage, declared the speaker. His experience of the faithful service, the every day practical high levels maintained by the teachers of the province confirmed his faith In the present generation and gave an assurance that Canada was not only a large country but, what was infinitely more vital, a great country. , A very hearty vote of thanks was accorded Mr. Hall for his very human, helpful and Inspiring address.
