A class in Basketry was initiated last year by
Miss Dorothy Clarke, Junior Grade Teacher, and
has been continued this year under the super-
vision of Miss Ryckman. The children are very
apt at this work, inheriting their skill in weaving
and designing from their parents. Distinction
has been won by Edna Tait for regularity of
weaving, by Hazel Harris for the large number
of baskets she has finished, and by Earl Mahone
for his quickness. The other members of the
class are Emily Leo and Ella Dick (rafha
workers), Stella Cooper, Olive Munro, Anthony
Calder, and Cecil Lewis (painter).

The coveted honour of being named Popular
Boy and Popular Girl of the School was voted
to George Brown, Skidigate, Queen Charlotte
Islands, and Delavina Allard, a local girl. We

congratulate them both on having attained such
an enviable distinction.

On account of ill-health the Reverend Thomp-
son Ferrier, Inspector of Indian Schools and Hos-
pitals of the United Church of Canada, retired
during the year. He was always a welcome and
popular visitor at Coqualeetza. As our represent-
ative to the General Board of Missions and the
Board of Missions to the Government of Canada,
he was earnest and watchful, quietly and untir-
ingly pressing the best interests of the Native
People of Canada before the Government. He
had a most arduous task and never spared him-
self. His work in the Province of British Co-
lumbia alone is a memorial to a really great man,
and we miss his cheery presence and his counsel,
and hope to hear continued good reports of his
restoration to health.
