To the Board of Trustees of the Collegiate Institutes

 (tKNTLEMEN — 
 
 As in the course of the present year your atten- 
 tion will probably be directed to the selection of a 
 principal for the new Collegiate Institute in West 
 Toronto, I take this opportunity of making application 
 for the position. 
 
 My qualifications for the post are briefly and clearly 
 placed before you in the testimonials and statements 
 that I I ow place in your hands for your thoughtful 
 consideration. I believe that you will not make a 
 choice in so important a matter without due deliberation 
 and a careful weighing of the claims of all the appli- 
 cants. 
 
 While I request you to read with care all the papers 
 herewith presented, I would call your special attention 
 to those that refer (1) to my career as principal of the 
 St. Mary's Collegiate Institute for four years, and of 
 the Strathroy Collegiate Institute and Training Insti- 
 tute for seren years, and (2) to the unsolicited offers 
 with which I have recently been honored by two city 
 Collegiate Institutes in Western Ontario. 
 
 Although the appointment of a principu,l for the 
 new Collegiate Institute may not engage your attention 
 for some time, I have thought it well, for certain rea- 
 sons, to make myself known to you as a candidate for 
 the position even at this early date. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 J. E. Wetherbll. 
 Strathroy, Jan. 2nd, 1891.

 Third, and Fourth Academic years respectively, and in conse- 
 quence was the College Prizeman in Classics during these yens.

 Registrar's Office, June 4th, 1877. 
 
 I certify that Mr. James E. Wetherell n^atricuKted in Atts 
 in this University in 1872 with honors in all the Subjects, and 
 the First Scholarship in General Proficiency and a Scholarship 
 in Classics. 
 
 He passed his Second Year's Examination in 1875, taking 
 the First Scholarship in Classics. 
 
 In the Third Year he won the Classical Scholarship (aeq. ) 
 
 At the Examinations for the Degree of B. A. he gained tlie 
 First Silver Medal in the same Department, having been only 
 a trifling number of marks behind the successful competitor for 
 the Gold Medal.

 Registrar. 
 
This may certify that J. E. VVethurell, B. A., lias been for 
 two years past instructor in Latin in tliis school. He has also 
 taught in other departments from time to time as occasion re- 
 quired. In every way he has given excellent uitisfaction and 
 has proved himself an accurate scholar, an energetic and 
 etBcIeat teacher, and a reliable and estimable man. While I 
 shotild deeply regret his loss to this Institute, I cannot but 
 recommend him most heartily to the attention of the Trustees 
 of any High School in need of the services of ati able and 
 Accomplished teacher. 
 
 J. E. Wells, M. A.,

 Woodstock, Ont., July 24th, 1879. 
 
 This certifies that J. E. Wetherell, Esq., B. A., has been 
 Head Master in the St. Mary's Collegiate Institute for the last 
 four and a half years. 
 
 We have much pleasure in stating that under Mr. VV ether- 
 ell's management the previously prosperous state of this school 
 has not only been maintained, but the efficiency as well as the 
 attendance of the school Increased ; the able and untiring labors 
 of the Head Master as an organizer and a teacher having con- 
 tributed in a large measure to the steady progress and present 
 excellent standing of this Institute. 
 
 We have found Mr. Wetherell as a teacher and educator of 
 youth, and as a man of honor and integrity, worthy of our 
 highest confidence and respect ; the reason and the only reason 
 for his leaving us is his appointment to a more remunerative 
 position. 
 
 While we regret to lose his valuable services here, he has 
 our best wishes for his continued success in his new field of 
 labor. 
 
 On behalf of the Collegiate Institute Board.

Leurniug from Mr. J. E. Wetherell, R A., that he i'h hm 
 applicant for the position of principal in tlie new (Collegiate 
 Institute in Toronto, I gladly avail myself of the oppoitimity 
 to express my high estimation of his character. 
 
 In regard to the proud position that he has won as an udu- 
 cator I need say nothing. His name and reputation are well 
 known to every man that takes even a passing inteie»t in 
 second., ^y education in Ontario ; but respecting the peculiar 
 characteristics that have enabled him to reach that position, I 
 have, perhaps, had as good an oppv rtunity to judge as any 
 person. Endowed with talents and abilities sueh as cotnpaia- 
 tively few men possess, Mr. Wetherell adds to these certain 
 qualities, any one of which would, of itself, go far towards ensur- 
 ing moderate success. Cheerfulness, industry, method, and a per- 
 sistent determination to remove all obstacles are marked features 
 of his character ; and these in the early part of his career as a 
 student, enabled him to overcome difficulties that would have 
 discouraged and turned aside many. His ability to accomplish 
 a large amount of work with accuracy, ajid in a very short 
 time, is most remarkable. I never knew his superior in that 
 respect. 
 
 In regard to his moral worth I can only say that, in an in- 
 timate acquaintance of more than twenty years, I have alway<« 
 found him a thoroughly upright man.

 Principal >iewmarket H. S. 
 Newmarket, Nov. 8th, 1890. 
 
 Owen Sound, Ont., Nov. 29th, 1890. 
 
 I am pleased to testify to the merits of Mr. J. E. VVetherell, 
 B. A., as a teacher and principal. Having been associated with 
 him for two and a half years on the staff of the St. Mary's Col- 
 legiate Institute, during his Principalship of that school, I have 
 
hull ample opportunities of judging him as a teacher, as a (lis- 
 ciplinarian, 9' a manager, and as a man. 
 
 As a teacher, Mr. Wetherell has few, if any, e<inal8 in the 
 Province. Thorough in his questioning, clear in his explana- 
 tions, he has the happy faculty of rousing in his pupils an 
 enthusiastic interest in their work. The long-continued success 
 of his pupils at the Departmental and University Examinations 
 is ample proof of his thoroughness as a teacher. 
 
 His excellence as a disciplinarian and a manager is well 
 sliown in the success with which he maiiageil the iSt. Mary's 
 ('ollegiate Institute, and— afterwards— the Stratliroy Collegiate 
 Institute, both of which schools \v\ve won a Provincial reputa- 
 ti(m under his management. 
 
 In addition to this, Mr. Wetheiell is a true gentleman, and 
 his walk in life is one which pupils may well take as a model. 
 
 Mr. Wetherell, I may repeat, is regarded by the members of 
 the teaching profession as the foremost Principal in this Prov- 
 ince.

 I 
 
 I have known Mr. Wetherell ab author and teacher through- 
 out my professional experience. If I were to judge of his 
 qualifications as a principal of a C'ollegiate Institute I should 
 say he has no superior in Ontario. Learning, character, 
 enthusiasm, manners, health and experience, all in a word that 
 make up a teacher in the highest sense of the word he has in a 
 degree altogether extraordinary ; and this I have learned by 
 seeing him at work in his own school. His attainments in 
 English are especially remarkable.

 (Strathroif Dispatch, Dec. ISS'.K ) 
 
 " Tlie question of the retention of Mr. Wetherell as Head' 
 master of our Collegiate Institute liact given the hoard of trus- 
 tees a great deal of thought during the past wcbk. The priu* 
 cipal point involved was the increase of his ttalary to the extent 
 of $300, making it $1800 per annum. This sum had 1)een otfor* 
 ed him by the Stratford Coll. Institute Hoard, and if Strathroy 
 wished to keep him the advance was a necessity. Our citizens 
 generally were a unit in desiring Mr. Wetherell's retention, but 
 the $300 was the sticker, and some thought the increase was 
 more than the town could stand. However, the Board gave 
 the matter careful consideration and decided to do it, which 
 should be accepted as the best course, ail things considered. 
 The board understand the position best, know the interests in* 
 volved better, and say that the increase is in every way justi* 
 fied, as the present is a very critical time in the history of the 
 school, and Mr. Wetherell is more than ever a necessity to its 
 continued success." 
 
 (Strathroy A(/e, Nov. 1S90.) 
 To the Editor of The Age : 
 
 Deak Sib, — A statement appeared in your issue of last week 
 which it would not be honest for me to leave uncorrected. It 
 is quite true that the Educational Committee oj the London Col- 
 legiate Institute offered me the salary oJ ^^,100 per annumy but 
 it is not correct to say that I " manfully declined " the offer on 
 account of a previous engagement with the Strathroy Board. 
 My services in London would not have been needed till next 
 January, and, at the time of receiving the offer from London, I 
 was perfectly free to make an engagement there if T had 
 chosen to do so. My reasons for not accepting the London 
 
 ' I'

offer I have stated freely to my Board and to many of my 
 friends, but to state them publicly would be unfair to the Lon- 
 don Committee who did me the honor of making me their first 
 choice in the selection of a principal. I may say, however, 
 that the strong support and generous sympathy which have 
 always been accorded to me by every member of the Stratluoy 
 Board, had much weight in determining my future course. Nor 
 was I uninfluenced by the prospects of the Strathroy school, 
 brighter than ever before, and by the cordial assistance of the 
 best staff of associates I have ever had. This is one side of the 
 situation ; but of the other — the London side — I am not free to 
 
 speak publicly. 
 
 Yours faithfully, 
 
 J. E. Wetherell.

 The foUov/ing statement shows the gradual increase in the

 " After a careful examination of several editions of the Fifth 
 Book of the iEneid I have given the preference to Mr. Wether-

 not a few. The soundest judgment and greatest care have

 introduction is full and well written, the notes neat and 
 
 scholarly. "

 Mr. Wetherell's edition of "Cato Major" is, I should say, 
 the best and most complete text-book ever issued with the 
 intention 4)f being specially adapted to the students of our High 
 Schools. The work is a great advance upon anything of the 
 
kind hitherto published in this country ; and, indeed, I caniu)t 
 but express the sentiment that if the text-books edited by our 
 High School masters continue to improve as they have been 
 doing, there will very soon be no need of anything additional 
 from foreign sources. We are confident that all interested in 
 imparting thorough scholarship will hail this excellent work 
 as a boon to teachers and students alike."
