academy to say goodbye to Perley l.
Horne, for the past eight years master
of that well known institution of learn

much interest in its welfare and now
occupies the junior stewards chair,
which he has filled faithfully and well.
Those with whom he has been thus
associated have learned to love him and

leave, although with it is coupled a

larger field for the development of his
marked talents as a teacher and organ

worshipfu1 master, H. w. Fogg, pre-
sented him with handsome case of
silver, made by the Towie Manufac-

sterling tea spoons and two large serv-

gard in which Mr. Horne is held and
