Gaelic is not used or taught in

tho schools in Nova Scotia, although prOvlsion for its inclusion in the curriculum was made about ten years ago. So far, hardly any teach- ers have been found. There are two classes in ihc Roman Catholic Con- vent School at Port Hawkesbury, and winter classes are held 1n sydncy, Gaelic is also taught at the Roman Catholic College Of St. Francis Xavier at Antlgonish to candidates for the priesthood. The correspondents from Strathlorne and LakcAinslle (United), Broad Cove (Catholic). Whycocamagh (Unltedf, and Boishalo (Catholic), nll in Cape Breton Island, state u; Gaelic is often used by child. rcn on the playground. But it is evident that as a whole Gaelic plays little or no part in education in Nova Scoiia today.

GAELIC LITERATURE IN THE MARITIMES In most protestant parishes it

was stated that [he Bible in Gaelic was read by the older people, also such books as the "Pilgrim's Pro- gress," Psalm and Hymn Books. Song books ‘and poetry are men- tioned occasionally. Periodicals, either wholly or partly in Gaelic, were Teaohdaire nan Gaidheal, Fear no Ceilidh (written by J. G. MacKinnon, at one time editor of the well-known paper Mac Talia); amongst Roman Catholics, giadh; while the Antigonlsh Catho- lic paper the Casket has a weekly column in Gaelic, and some of the Cape Breton papers print columns from time to time. Gaelic plays are performed twice a year at Inver- ness by the Catholics and at times at St. Ann's, Gaelic songs are fre- quently sung at concerts, and of late competitions in fuilirlg songs have been started between villages with great success.

On the whole, it cannot be denied

that Gaelic in the Msrltimes is a. (181118 10118111189, but there is life in it yet, enough to suggest that on- thusiusm and interest could still be easily aroused for it in those parts whose traditions and speech are still, after three and more gener- ations, while a fertile field exists for the student of Celtic who desires to in- vcstigate what change the Gaelic dialects have undergone across the ocean, under the influence of Can- adian expressions, both French and English.

Valediptory

read by Alfred Linklctter:

Members of the Government, Men-i- bers of the Faculty, Fellow Stu- dents, Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have come to the close o1 an- other College year, and we, the graduating class have completed our course and have assembled here to receive the reward of our labors, and to say farewell before we go forth to grapple with the stern real- ities of life outside the familiar college hulls. This year has been one of the gladdest and at the some time one of the saddest years that Prince of Wales College has known in her varied history of over sev-

the completion and occupation o1’ this beautiful new building, and be- cause oi’ the Carnegie endowment with all that it will mean to us and to those who follow us; the saddest, laecause three of the stil- dcuis, \\'llO begalltlicycarivith the hopcfulucss and ambition incident to youth, have passed to the great beyond. As ive take our places here today, our hearts are moved with memory of them, and our heartfelt sympathy goes out to their darken- cd homes.

This year's enrollment in all classes exceeded that of any previ- oils your. Our class, the Third Year was exceptionally large. During the term Mr. J. G. Paterson, M. A, was added to the staff as Professor of Mathematics, Mr. Patterson came to us with a record of distinguished scholarly attainment, and service OVCYSCHS.

We are greatly pleased at this time to be able to extend our cor- dial congratulations to Professor Steel on the honor bestowed upon himby Mount Allison University in granting the degree oi Doctor of Laws.

Looking now in retrospect over our college life hcrc, we regret that one of our mos. influential activit- ies, thc debuting society, unfortun- unately did not function this year, owing to the lack of suitable accom- modation during the early part of thc term. It is hoped, however, that this vcry important phase of our training will bc resumed next year.

speaking, which the debating so- cicty affords, is inestimable; the student who takes part in debate develops a faculty‘ for accurate and ready thinking and expression of thought, which makes him o. wor- thicr mcnlbcr of this institution and o. more ixiiluublc citizen of thc world. ‘

Our paper, "'I‘lle College Times," has met with its usual success. Tho practice in writing which such a paper offers, and the feeling of good fellowship which this journal en- genders, make it of real value to the students.

The physical side oi’ college ilfc has not been neglected. Tho several sports were indulged in with zest and enthusiasm, and the athletic reputation of tho college was well upheld. Our football team was sue. cessful in defeating their old-time rivals of St. Dunsianll, and once more the Intercollegiate Champion. ship of Prince Edward Island re-

turned to Prince of Wales. The hoc- uy tam also did 800d Wink Hid
