In rural parts, such leadership is greatly lacking. The teacher is who should take the lead social activities of these ities. In Denmark, for the speaker said, the teacher is the central figure in, the community.

Interest in the perform­ ance of a teacher’s duties seem to promote satisfaction and friendli­ ness with those with whom she i3 working,” the speaker declared. A teacher should be careful not to place too much stress on the virtues or lack of virtues of any pupil or the stress will defeat its own end. “We must realize that young chil­ dren’s characters change with amaz­ ing rapidity.” Miss McCullough ad­ vocated the positive method teaching, e.g.: “thou than the negative “don’t do that.” of shalt.” rather method e.g.: * * * THE NOOS For two weeks now we have been hearing the following about Spain. The rebels are just about to take Madrid. The defenders of Madrid are about to launch a devastating counter-attack. Russia is about to scrap all agreements a'nd turn loose on somebody in Spain. Italy and Germany are licking their lips in anticipation of cleaning up on somebody or other. Britain is trying to keep out of the war. Newsmongering is a great job, no matter what way you take it . If you’re not sure, surmise; if you can't surmise apply directly to the Ananias Club. « ♦ * * * « • WHAT A FALL! Surely this good land rarely has enjoyed a finer fall than that of 1936. -The rains have been just right. We are of this opinion because we haven’t heard a single farmer grumbling about either abundance or their lack of moisture. No better proof of our snRement is needed. Then, on the same high authority, the pas­ ture is the very best. The potatoes have not broken the heart of •tie small boy by their smallness. Turnips are growing to date (away beyond all bounds. Mangles, too, have been turning rapidly into good money. Someone told us that about 18,000 bushels of barley at one dollar per bushel have been shipped from this district. Hogs have been a fine price, away over the paying point $7.00 per ■cwt. Milk is a good price. 'So there you are. It’s a great fall.******* OH, YES The other morning it felt cold, really suggested before we started the day’s work tinsmith and have him clean out the furnace and flues and do a good job generally.

Get us our overalls and we’d uhow the world. We got the pipes down o k after breaking only ftome half dozen beyond all usefulness. Our best office shirt was by this time more spotted than Joseph’s coat. Our better half, “John, dear, how are you getting on?” soothed the editorial breast. Daughter’s skilful playing of “Happy Days are Come Again” was timely and mollifying. “I’m doing fine!” we boasted. “Will ya just support this here till I get this kinection did?” we purred. Broom in hand the support was given, but the more we tried to connect them there pipes the further apart they drew, till finally ten pipes fell to “Now ye’ve postulated. “John dear, ■of apoplexy?” chilly that we cold.

Aren’t you afraid our IFrau soothed, “Let me send for the doctor!” 'Naw, but I’m getting the tinsmith, I’ve heard there’s been a Jail delivery of that craft of plunderers!” There are certain job's that no sane editor ever tackles. A LITTLE PSYCHIATRY IS A DANGEROUS THING There is an old saying based on hard-won experience that the man who is his own physician has a fool for a doctor. We know what an unspeakable nuisance is the man or woman who trots about the landscape prescribing this or that for this or that ill. Such Humbugs who would not attempt to mend a watch will trot out their dope for the human system, regardless of consequences. The advice ‘go home and take a good big dose of castor oil or salts’ has hurried many a poor soul to the operating table. This state­ ment is a matter of record. Other advice has been equally danger­ ous. Well, the scene is shifting from “medicine” to psychiatry, the science that treats the mind that is out of fix. The quackery and general bedevilment on the way through folk who are hot after treating other people’s minds is something to make the angels weep. Everywhere there are young folk, both male and female, who are self-appointed exponents of a science that perhaps not a dozen in America know anything at all about, and this scant dozen being the first to own that they are as yet as infants crying in the night. But the fools are rushing in where the angels fear to tread. So keep your eye on the clergyman or teacher or social worker who is bitten by the psychiatrical bug. He will have a good deal to tell you about emotions and repressions and urges and all that sort of thing. not not But be sure, gentle reader, that he does know whereof he speaks. There are relatively few who are healthy-minded, provided they have a job to do and .are about nd who have some fun they are about and are enjoying it. It § one a pain in the neck to say the word psychiatry.' It gives average man a pain in the noodle to bother with the queer f. It plays the mischief with its average alleged teacher. It the I stuff. . . ,4s altogether likely that he does not know psychiatry from a hen’s track. We asked the best doctor in one of our mental hospitals about this thing and he told us that while what is ‘known about mental disturbances would fill a small book, that what is not known would fill several libraries.

T.u. was held in James St. United Church on Thursday afternoon, Mrs. Amy conducted the devotional per­ iod in which several ladies led in prayer, the roll call was responded to by ten members. A short business period followed in which the secre­ tary was instructed to- procure Tem­ perance blotters to be placed in the schools ‘for use there, The reports from the delegates who recently at­ tended the Provincial Convention in Guelph was then given in part by Mrs, W. C. Pearce. This most in­ spiring and encouraging conven tion was each morning opened by a consecration service in which the theme was “Peace.” In the civic greeting extended .by His Worship Mayor .Mahoney he said, “no organ­ ization in the world does greater work than the W. C. T, U. and at no time were Workers needed than today. Beverage rooms should be blasted out of existence.” In replying Mrs. John Wright, of Brantford stated that total abstin- ance for the individual and prohibi­ tion for the country was what was needed. Rev. Mr. Hone in bringing greetings ‘from the Ministerial As­ sociation said, “your aims are our aims.” He had noticed that those who attended the prayer meetings were also members of the W.C.T.U. Our politicians have sold their souls' to the Liquor Traffic—greed and| selfishness stand in the way of the Kingdom of God. Dr. Irwin, secre­ tary of the Temperance Federation in his short address said that our aim is a referundum for removal of beer parlors, we will fight for it un­ til we get it or its equivalent. It was brought before the conven­ tion that there is an etherized beer being given to young people that paralizes both mind and body. The meeting closed with a hymn and the benediction. Criticisms in General (Contributed) Here we are again doing a little criticizing. Soft words often serve in a hard argument. * Imagine, if you can—an ant out of work. Do ycu ever walk down our Main Street on a Sunday morning. Just take notice how many windows have the curtains pulled down. Why not put up the curtain and let the pub­ lic do a little window shopping. It is not much trouble to doctor sick folks, but to doctor healthy ones is troublesome. Death is another life. What a wonderful improvement was made by one of the business men on Main street by having the large bill boards taken down and the ground leveled. Let some one else take notice and improve, I* costs little. Every moment of life is a step towards death. Can. some one tell us what has happened to all the dirt that we us­ ed to see on Main Street on Sunday morning? ? ? Dirt is not dirt, but only some­ thing in. the wrong place.

Keep a vial in your medicine chest, Miss Evelyn, Clark, dealing with the subject, “The aim of the Teacher,” quoted the words of the Great Teacher when He said: “I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.” “That, I believe, embodies the highest conception of service that the world has known,” said Miss Clark. She that this speech should, in a stricted sense, express the aims teachers today. She stated educators of today are unanimous in the belief that it .is the duty of the teacher to become as efficient mem­ bers of society as possible. “The school must give the child possession of that knowledge which is in the school curriculum and it is to be remembered that it is to pre­ pare the child to serve his fellow men to a maximum degree. The child must be trained to acquire cer­ tain, valuable skills, the cultivation of which is based on the law of habit. The child needs above all to have developed in him proper atti­ tudes towards innumerable things about him and to learn how to look on these things, when, to sympathize when to be tolerant. Children are good imitators and they will haps model themselves after teacher and so it is well for teacher to become as ^perfect a del 'for these pupils as possible. Following Miss Clark’s address Mr. Beacom thanked the teachers for cooperating to make the conven­ tion a success and also expressed ap­ preciation of the large number that had attended this year. “BORROWED” MOTOR OAR to Resolutions ever felt re- of that per- the the mo- resolutions were recent meeting in West Huron Teach- The following adopted at the ■Goderich of the ers’ Association.

There has been a general check­ ing up by hundreds of citizens all over the county, citizens who thoughtlessly gave good bonds and stocks to strange salesmen to ex­ change for other’ ellegedly more luc­ rative. The results of this checking up has gone into the securities com­ mission and investigations institut­ ed. In the last few months there have been, four arrests. One salesman has been given a reformatory term, on,e charge was withdrawn on re­ stitution being made, one was given 'suspended sentence on paying back the money and one case is still pending in the criminal courts. More than half a dozen alleged offenders cannot be found. It seems that quite a number of salesmen have been driven out .of the country or into hiding.
