Exeter High School BE-OPBNS SEPl'EMBER 1st Register Now In another column will be found the results of the Middle School examinations at Exeter High School. The fact that the school now has the use of a gynmasium and that four teachers with a very successful re­ cord this year are remaining on the staff, that a very promising teacher has been secured for till© vacancy created by the appointment of the fifth member to> another school, should attract a large number of students to this desirable centre of education. Much has been done in recent years to improve the condition of the school and the Board has shown a keen interest in all school activ­ ities. in Exeter good room and board can be secured at moderate prices. Pupils contemplating attendance at the re-opening on September 1st should communicate with the Secret­ ary, Miss K. McFaul. MIDDLE SCHOOL DEPT. EXAMINATIONS The examination results for Middle School have been received from the Department of Education and are, altogether, very satisfactory, in many of the subjects the students having done decidedly better than in the local test examinations. On the year’s work teachers can grant onlv firsts and seconds. All below that must write. Of the 47 fi'rsts and 56 seconds naturally most were ob­ tained on the year’s viork, As evi­ dence that not every possible candi­ date was squeezed through in this way, in one subject i firsts and 4 seconds were granted on teachers’s certificate. Of those who wrote 3 others obtained firsts, two got sec­ onds, two’ got thirds and six got credits. On his official visit, Inspector Wallace when told of that condition having existed in several subjects in 193 6 pointed out that such work spoke highly for the efficiency of a school and that he admired the spirit of pupils who not having been granted standing, got down to work and proved what they could do. Each year a number of weaker pupils drop out at the end of the third year and so higher percentages of passes might be looked for in fourth ferm. This year chemistry ran 10'0 per cent, Ancient History, over 93 per cent, .geometry over 86 per cent, French composition over 84 per cent, and French Authors 77. In third form the three papers most to the candidates’ liking were, Physics, Literature and Algebra in which the percentages were over 85.82 and 70. Altogether passes were 74 per cent. Most of the fourth form took Upper School Eng­ lish as yet unreported. lA’my, Dorothy E., Eng. Lit. C., Can. Hist. 3,rd, Alg.' 2nd. *Atkinson, Barbara J., Alg. 3rd Chem. C., Lat. Auth., 1st, Lat.

The steel truss barn owned by Martin j, O’Dwyer, two miles north of Clandeboye on No. 4 high­ way, suffered the greatest destruc­ tion. The roof and siding were torn from the barn and the metal sheeting was scattered across two hundred acres. The storm came up about 12.30 at noon and lasted only a few minutes but in that short time considerable damage was done In Mr. O’Dwyer’s barn was consid­ erable hay and barley and five horses were in the stable but these were 'unharmed. The damage to the barn was estimated at $3,000 part­ ly covered by insurance. Across the road from Mr, O’Dwy­ er barn belonging to Mr. Wm. Lee had a. part of the roof torn off, the ratters being torn from the plates, shingles and a portion of the roof were carried over into the orchard and a willow tree was blown over. On the second concession of Bid- dulph two barns belonging to Har­ old Hodgins were moved several inches on their foundations and a number of steel shingles were turned up. The root on a barn on the west side of the road was damaged. Hugh O’Dwyer, who lives on the highway had a number of trees in his orchard blown over only one being left standing. Damage was done to a sihed on the farm of Ro­ bert Culbert, 2nd con. of Biddulph and a number trees in the orchard were blown over. Earl Atkinson, of the same concession, lost a part of the roof of his barn and trees in the orchard were blown down. A big bay window in tihe home of Ben Revington was blown out and his driveshed was moved -on the foundation. Pat Ryder, on the 6th con. of Bidd-u'lph, had his barn door blown off and carried from 8 to 10 rods. A wagon was also blown for some distance. During the five minute peak resi­ dents claim that the rain came down like a cloudburst and It was impos­ sible to see more than a short dis­ tance away, accompanying th,e rain was hail. Crashing trees barely missed several houses. The high­ way was blocked with fallen trees for a short time near St.. James’ Church, Clandeboye. Standing corn ws badly damaged and what crops were out were flattened. The hydro j lines were out of commission but only for short intervals. BARN BURNED WHEN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING A large bank barn on the farm of Mr. Sidney Wilson, 6th concession of Usborne, was struck by lightning and destroyed by fire late Tuesday afternoon, a thunderstorm with a heavy downpour of rain passed over the district about 4 p.m. Two heavy thunderclaps were heard and Mrs. Wilson fearing that something had been struck looked out of the back door at the barns and had just re­ marked that the buildings were al­ right when she noticed a heavy bladk cloud of smoke ascending from the barn, Mr, Garnet Miners, a near neighbor, saw that the barn had been struck and turned in a fire alarm over the rural telephone lines. Mr. Wilson was the first to reach the barn and succeeded in tak­ ing out two horses and then returned foi’ a sucking colt. The .heat was get­ ting intense and it was with diffi­ culty that the colt was taken out. The cattle were in the fields but eight pigs weighing between 65 and 75 lb. perished in the flames. The barn was filled with the season’s crop and contained close to thirty tons of hay, six loads of wheat and some oats and all were destroyed. The building was a fine structure 3 6 x 60 ft. on a brick and stone founda­ tion, A large frame driveshed close to the barn was saved by the heroic efforts of the neighbors and aided by the wind which was blowing in the opposite direction. The barn was partly covered by insurance. DEPUTATION AT TORONTO iA deputation from this? community were in Toronto Wednesday of last week and in an interview with the Minister of Highways, Hon. Mr, Mc- Question, urged the taking over of the Thames Road and the Lake Rd. as a provincial highway connecting Highway No 21 at Russeldale with Highway No, 4, passing through Exeter, and on through tp- the Blue­ water Highway, This is the main route for summer tourists on their way to Grand Bend and the Bluewat- ei* Highway and is a much travelled road particularly in the summer time, This year the road has receiv­ ed very little attention and has been in a most unsatisfactory condition. The minister’ has promised consid­ eration. EXAMS.
