Miss Woo' encountered cortain obstacles on ontering Canada, but the people were not long in learning to understand and appreciate hue. When in the city of Windsor, Ontario, she was present- ad with the Freedom of that city.. This rare distinction has brought honour not only to Mias, Woo but also to the school which she loves so much.

To-day, the College is happily free from debt.
