The death occurred Saturday morning in the P. E. Island Hospi- tal of Hammond Johnston. Pro- vince-wide known educationist. He was 69 years of age.

No man played a more promin- ent part in the educational affairs of this Province than tho late Mr. Johnston from the years 1898 to 1933 when he retired because of ill health as Principal of West Kent School.

His childhood education was received at Brackley where he was born. After graduating from Prince of Wales In 1898. he spent the next four years teaching in Til-m called to the princlpaiship 0d the Albéftml High School. In 1906 he was cali- ed to take the pi-incipaiship of Summerside High School.

I-‘rorn 1910 to 1912 he was school. inspector for the whole of Queen! County and the remainder of his teaching career. from 1912 to 193s. was spent a: principal of west Kent School.

Ha was the son of the late Adam Johnston and Jennie MacCalium. both of Brackley.

He was a valued member of 'I‘rin- ity United Church and was an elder in the church for a number of years.

He leave: to mourn the 10a: of his passing his wife. the former Margaret Jane MacGregor of Kingston: four sons and fow- daughters.

The sons are Orion Johnston. City; Ralph Johnston. Halifax: Keith Johnston and Clive Johnston of Charlottetown.

The Guardian join: a wide circle of friend: and acquaintances in extending sincere sympathy to the member: of hi: family in the

greet. loaa they have sustained.

A Tribute‘ n. Hammond Johnston

BY J. C. LEWIS c (Guardian New: Staff)

I ace him now. almost as vividly as when, for the first time, he stood before us on that bright September morning forty years, and more. ago, A tail, slender figure with the slight stoop of the scholar, with black hair and with dark eyes from whioli emanated the quick intelligence and the deep undo:- standing of the man.

And now,‘ they say. Hammond Johnston ‘is dead.-

In a sense, the report is true. Tho corporeal form, in which re- posed the spirit of him whose pass- ing thousands today mourn. is no longer wanm and pulsating with life. The flesh is cold. The eyes, once so full of light and under- standing, are closed. ‘Ilhe voice which has rung so vibrantly through ao many academic halls is stilled and will ring no more. What was mortal of Hammond Johnston is of the earth. earthy. and to the earth will return.

But the spirit which prompted the inculoation in others of those principles in which he so devout- ly believed, honour. and loyalty, and high idealism - that spizit oi.’ Flztnmond Johnston has not died.

It is alive. It will never die as long as the earth remains. It can- not perish because he has impart- ed it, in measures commensurate with their capacities to receive. to those countless hundzeds who owe to lilrn the foundations of what- ever knowledge and education they may possess. Those principles of noble living and of lofty idealism which they received from Ham- mond Johnston, they will. in turn, in greater or lessor measure, pass on so that. from generation to generation, his spirit will continue to walk the earth,

He was the greatest teacher at wthose feet I have ever sat. For all too brief a period. he was not only my mentor but my friend.

The men who use their brothers as rounds of a ladder upon which to ,climb to their ambitions, are little men. They betray that little- nesa when, as Shakespeare says. after having reached the "utmost round," they "turn their backs upon that by which they did ascend." Hammond Johnston was not interested in such men as these. His concern was with the eternal veritieg and his all-con- suming passion was to impart to those. who wee fortunate enough to come under his guidance. some understanding and appreciation of life's meaning.

A great teat-her of men. a kind husband. and a loving father. Ham- mond Johnston had. and has, no- thing to fear — neither in this world nor the world to come.

Hundreds Visit Giliiscr

Hundreds of Charlottetown cit- izena took advantage of the op- portunity provided by “open ship" to go aboard U.S.S. Fresno on Saturday afternoon as she lay anchored at Three Tides off Vic- toria york, The visitors showed great interest in the vessel and asked many typical landlubber questions of the crew members who were on duty. A shuttle ser- vice’ or boats were kept busy all afternoon plying back and forth from ship to shore carrying visit- ors.

Although the ship's company in- clucied men from many states of the union, the preponderance of the personnel came from the Am- erican South and from California.

Between five and seven o'clock on Saturday evening, the Ameri- can Consul General, Mr. A.W. Kiieforth held a reception at the ‘Charlottetown’ in honour of the ship's commanding officer, Captain W.G. Michelet, U.S.N. Among those who attended were a number n-f provincial and municipal officials together with representatives of the Canadian navy. army and air force.

Yesterday afternoon a number of invited guests were entertain- ed by Captain Michelet aboard the Fresno.

Captain Michelet informed the Guardian that o! the many P0"! at which he has called during his navel career. the city of Char- lottetown presented one of the finest examples of hospitality he had ever seen.

Over the creek-end hundreds of

"middies" were seen in the city‘: streets and parks quite apparent- iy enjoying their visit here. _ This morning Fresno is sched- uled to weigh anchor at S AM. and she heads out to sea on her return trip. Bon voyage!
