and comparatively new crop in Hu

Department of Agriculture has plac
ed practical field men at the service
of the tobacco growers of South
Western Ontario. The growers
should not be backward in asking
for the services of these men as the
results of the first crop will likely
to some extent determine the adapt

Many compliments have been paid

shrubs. This, year the membership
of the society is the largest since its
organization—217, and the distribu
tion of premiums and the care of
special orders for extra planting has
been very large. The secretary in
forms us that he has distributed 212
roses, 800 asparagus roots, 270 tub
erous begonias, 130 larkspurs, 171
shrubs and 81 dozen gladiolus bulbs.
In addition to this the Parks Com
mittee has planted 1,000 small
evergreens in Riverview Park and
the society has procured the services
of a landscape gardener for several
citizeris and the council free of
charge. The officers of the society
acknowledge with thanks grants
from both tlie Council and the
Women’s Institute of Exeter toward

HOME AND SCHOOL CLUB
The regular meeting of the Home
and School Club was held o-n Friday
afternoon in the school. The presi
dent, Mrs. M H. Browning, announc
ed the subject of the program, “The
Development of the Moral and Spir- f
itual Life of the Child.” Promptly
the pupils of Miss Pickard’s room,
assisted by pupils from rooms IV and
V took their places and splendidly
characterized the subject by song
and recitation. A display of draw
ings, (many of them of
merit) and writing, helped
fully to carry out thejdea
school plays a very large
the child’s life.
Rev. Mr. McTavish was ___ ...
troduced to the many interested parents hncl friends assembled, and by
copious illustrations, he impressed
on tjiosQ present- three important,
facts in the development of the soul
life of the child, viz:The child has a
soul, that soul is capable of develop
ment, the home and the school have
a great deal to do with that develop
ment. A vote of thanks was tend
ered Mr. McTavish for his address.
Miss Kneclitel in a few words
showed the value of fiction in teach
ing the child to form opinions for
himself—an important factor in the
child’s best development,
of the effort that is being made to
day by educationists to compile
books that will be a safe guide to
the parent for his child’s reading.
During the business part of the
program, it was decided to hold the
