Tn behalf of Mont-Amoena Semin
iry, Prot Fisher announced that' the
next session Vbnld begin September
J7 in the new building, is possible,
but if not in the new home, than in
anch nnarters. as maV be Drovided.
The architect will be here in a few
days, and it is likely that the bnild-
ing committee will accept the plant
which have been on exhibition in
Cook ft Foil's window this week. A
few changes may take place in the
faculty of the institution which will
be riven -oh at a later dste. -t
Speakine for the Collegiate Insti-
tute, Prof. McAllister had some things
to say with regard to the future. The
board of trustees met .yesterday and
made provision for extensive improve-
ments to be made on the buildings and
troonds during vacation. The deois-
ward more rapidly than it' has yet
been able to do. It is only a question
0f a short time until a new building
will be erected on the campus to take
the place of the one destroyed by fire
a few years ago, and 'like theSemin-
srv it will be far-more imposing than
j the old one. 'The unsettled state of
I affairs existing for some time hss re-
tarded these advance steps, but the
I institutions, are bow fixed, and both
I are coin? to be gainers through fire.
It is perhaps Hot going out of the
way to state just here the opinions
we have beard expressed this week on
the cart of both ministers and !ay-
of her educational institutions today
than ever before, that there is a bet-
ter understanding existing among all
parties, which must result in great
irood for the schools.
