Caption "Temperance elocutionists in Edmonton, 1897"

Cover Illustration: In March 1897, the Independent Order of Good Templars had an elocution contest in Edmonton's Saddlery Hall, the winner receiving a silver medal. The six competitors were photographed after the event, so it is likely that the girl at centre, wearing two medals, was winner Annie Evans with her lecture, "The Sparrow Must Fall". Other contestants were: Maud Lauder, with "A Voice from the Poor House"; Grace Ritchie, "Patriotic Prohibition"; Miss Dixon, "The Signs of the Times"; and Edith Bellamy, "How to Curtail the Liquor Traffic".

Notes

Articles include Confessions of a Stenographer, Peter Erasmus, Sheep and Sheep Men
