T, Fergus, and everybody who is anybody educationally. On Tuesday afternoon the Y.M.C.A. gave a little reception in honour of Miss Brentnall, 8.A., at which Miss Downie Stewart presided. The afternoon was much enjoyed by those present, and Miss Brentnall's remarks on her work in India were both interesting and amusing.
