In connection with his work at rapid City and Brandon for Many years previous to he built up for himself a name second to none As an educationist. Hundreds of Young men and women in Western Manitoba owe their fret inspiration in educational Effort to prof. Mekee. His insight into the future of Brandon As an educational Centre was Little Short of marvellous and the same might be truthfully said of his work and personality in attracting and holding together such Large numbers of students such diverse interests for so Many years.

Subscriptions and by the High percentage of students in attendance of denominations other than baptists. In View of these facts the College is unique in the West. It is in exactly the same position As any Collefer in Winnipeg representing a special Church and theology. The attendance. The attendance this year is More than Erial to expectations in View of the great Scarcity of labor during the fail. A greater influx of students will follow after new years As under these conditions Many have deferred their coming till that time. As is to be expected in the Early years of such an institution the majority of arts students Are taking up the work of the first year. Consequently there will not Likely be any candidates for the degree of b. A. For a year or two. There Are at present Over 20 students taking matriculation work a show ing which no College in Winnipeg could boast of at the same stage of its growth. The standing of the five graduates in philosophy of last Spring from Brandon College is a High tribute to the efficiency of the staff assistants. The following statistics Are exceedingly interesting. In View of the fact that the Brandon students were not by their teachers As was the Case with Winnipeg students. The five graduates referred to constituted 1814-27 per cent of the Stu dents who graduated in philosophy in 1902 in the University of Manitoba. They constituted approximately 2l per cent of students gaining 1a standing 20 per cent of students gaining in standing 22 per cent of students gaining us standing. I per cent of students gaining a stand ing. It is noticeable that the number taking 3rd class standing was very Low. With the continued steady support of the West such As Lias already been Given the continued Success of the undertaking and the High Standard of work is assured. The Liberal support of the people and the general interest is More than we had any right to expect when we said or. Mcdiarmid to the free press correspondent last night when asked concerning the general Progress of the College. Since the opening of the College in 1s09 additions and changes have taken place in the staff and a brio. Review of the present staff will prove interesting to Many in the West As Well As to Brandon citizens. The staff. Rev. Prin. Mcdiarmid m. A., d the Ohoey and philosophy graduated in philosophy Silver Toronto University 1s73 in theology in Rochester theological Seminary held pastorate in Strathroy port Hope and Ottawa in Ontario Brooklyn n. Y. From he was Secretary of the Ontario and Quebec Baptist foreign Mission Board.

Wheat City furniture store. Wheat City furniture store. Commercial courses started borne years by prof. Mekee and prof. Sieve Ridge who had wide experience in teaching in Public schools and in commercial in Ontario previous to coming to Brandon in , and Domain who is in charge of the stenography and shorthand depart ment. In addition to these staffs there Are a number of capable assistants. The enrolment of students for last year was 14 i and of so belonged to eight different denominations other than the Baptist. The Brandon College bids fair to be he Queen s of the West. The first Canadian woman on the Prairie from the Cartney Star. The first Canadian in the Northwest was the wife of John Baptiste Lavimoniere who in company with her husband arrived in. Manitoba. July of the year 1s07, and died at St. Boniface in 1st9 at the Are of 36 years. Madame Lavimoniere had no women companions but the squaws. Her husband was a Hunter who roam i de the territory Between the red River and fort cd Lionton. were then in the Northwest some live six other Canadian Hunters married to in Dian women and the lives of these men did not differ from that of the indians. They lived in wigwams made of sons Enca Ping near the forts in summer and passing the Winters in the Woods and on the Prairies Hunting. The fir.5t White girl was born in Manitoba on i the King s birthday and j named urine. The Mother Madame. I , carried her baby in a Moss bag As the Sii Laws did and accompanied her husband on Hunting expeditions that extended Over Many i thousand Miles of wild country. Food j consisted principally of dried meat and fish and for some years such a thing As bread was unknown. In 1s11 news arrived that lord Selkirk would establish a Colony on the Banks of the i red River and that families who were to be the nucleus of the settlement would leave that Spring. Colonists had already left Scotland but arriving late were obliged to spend the Winter on the shores of Hudson s Bay. There enduring much misery and hardship. The Glrst White boy was born in August. 1sos, and was. Named Jean Baptiste. For three years Madame Lavimoniere lived alone with her Chil Dren in a hut without floor or win Dows situated a dozen Miles from any habitation. About this time her Hus band was engaged to carry a letter to Montreal and for his Devotion to the company in undertaking the Long Jour Ney lord Selkirk recompensed him by presenting As a gift the land on the Bank of the red River opposite Point Douglas and it was a part of this property that one of his sons sold in 1ss2 for the Large sum of one Hundred thousand dollars. During the years Isil and 1s20 those who lived in the Little Colony were produced to extremity. Up to tins time there was no bread not even on the table of the governor of the company but the settlers Al was hoped to have some soon. The Fields were sown but in August the Grasshoppers destroyed the Hope of the colonists the next year nil vege tation was ruined. In 1s20 another trial was Mode to raise . And once More the Grasshoppers descended. For four Venus neither Grain nor roots had gathered. In the summer of 22 mice destroyed the Fields of Grain and after this plague there was no More seed Grain in the country and it was necessary to Send to dog Plain on the mis. I Sippi for some hut this arrived too late and another Harvest was lost. The harvests of 1s24-25 were very abundant. In. The Spring of 1s26 the River Rose thirty feet above Ordinary level and the houses of the inhabitants were away by the freshet and no seed could he that year. Typewriters.
