MAY DAY PARTY AT FRAAIAR MONTESORRI SCHOOL The annual May Day party ofthe Framar Montesorri school was held on Saturday afternoon on the beautiful grounds of Mrs. 4V. D. Fraser, 18th and Esqui- malt. The weather was perfect and a large number of parents and friends were present to hear the delightful programme pre- sented by the children. The first half of the programme consist- ed of action songs and solos, which were very well rendered, the little ones taking their parts with a zest which showed they enjoyed the singing and dancing fully as much as their elders who were w"tching them. The second part of the programme consisted of the playlet, "The Sleeping Beauty," followed by rhythm and folk dancing round the Maypole, which had been set up on the lawn and decorated with ribbons in the school colors. During the interval 3Irs. Colin McLean rendered solos which were much appreciated by the guests, Mrs. James McIntyre be- ing her accompanist.

McA. Carrick, who honored the West Vancouver Scottish So- ciety with a lecture on "The Poe- try of Sir Walter Scott," at its iegular meeting in the Clachan nn Friday, May 17th. Despite the many other attractions in the municipality, one of the largest audiences in the history of the society listened, with gen- uine pleasure and rapt attention to this master of elocution, who was not unknown to his audi- ence. His beautiful English, coupled with the clear enuncia- tion of the Scot, was a shere de- light, and a pleasant change from the slip-shod English to which one has almost become ac- customed, in this age of slang. Warmlv defend i ng Scott against the ultra-critical who deny that Scott was a lyrical poet, he quiet- ly, and analytically, pointed out their error, quoting some of Scott's works, which show the pure and most difficult Spenseri- an standard, in support of his argument. He conceded that some poems were a little weak, but he said, when one consider- ed the amount of work which Scott had accomplished, this was scarcely to be wondered at. His dramatic genius seemed to be entirely forgotten or overlooked, while the neglect of his dramas is no credit to Scottish people.The lecturei"s rendering of the passage from "The Lady of theLake," wherein Rhoderick Dhu meets Fritz-James in deadly combat, aroused much enthsi- asm, and well earned applauseAnother debt which the world owes to Scott, is the series of pictures of the times, and a cor- rect, and unexaggerated deline- ation of character. Loud ap- plause greeted him, on the callof President Reid for a vote of thanks, which he graciously ac- knowledgedd. Miss Carrick, who had kindly accompanied her father, gave much pleasure by her singing of many of Sir Walter Scott's songs, Miss Frame capably act- ing as her accompanist.
