Such growth can only mean that the people are appreciative of the value of music in the schools and are behind the movement. The first objective, the promot- ion of music in the nrral schools. has met wltb wide approval, said the speaker. He recalled his own experience and the pleasure he rc- ceived when at school from the instructions given by the late Theodore Ross.

"These teacu- ers are safe guides because they have therlght blending of theo- logy. philosophy and the natural sciences."

He went on to illustrate the great development of the College from one building fifty years ago when he. himself. had graduated in a class of six members, to it's pre- sent stature. He stated that great things hsd been done in the past by the grad- uates of this College and he hop- ed that they would continue to work "to forward truth, and bring honor to themselves and their Aims Mater." In his report as Rector cf the University, Rt. Rev. R. V. Mac- Kenzle dealt with the mounting cost of educst’ and emphasised the importance of Christian trsin- ing in the homes as "the cradle of inspiration which must be fostered throughout all school years."
