The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1938-02-17, Page 3KE Miss Beryl Goodman executing a “Camel Spin” She will appear with thirty members of the London Skating Club at the Exeter Arena Friday Evening LETTER BOX From Florida 104 N. E. First St. |Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. To the Editor of the Times-Advocate Exeter, 'Ontario Just to say we are all enjoying our visit here. We had a very nice trip down, despite the inclement weather. When we left, Exeter with its three feet of snow, it snowed un til we reached London, and then it turned to- sleet and rain, making travelling very treacherous. The rain continued for four day3 until we reached Georgia. As one is driving through the South-, majes tic old live oaks spread their moss- veiled over' forest and lane. Royal veiled branches over forest and lane. Royal cocoanut and the native and abundant iSabal palms consort with whispering pine bending their tropic al luxuriance to create an atmos phere of romance. We passed through hundreds of acres of orange groves, laden with the golden fruit. In Florida, there is summer in win'.’ ter. -Healing waters pour from rock bound .heads to add to man’s span of life. Through atmosphere without smoke, dirt or grime, the sun sends ite .priceless, ultra-violet rays to build and to .cure. It is a place for rejuvenating rest to the weary and ill, a place where children grow to strong and a nation recreates. It is a place of happiness and freedom, in which to work, to- play to live. Here you may drink deeply of the healing waters, eat plentifully of the healthful fruit; bare your body daily to the sun; bathe in the warm ocean water; play with care-free abandon; and enjoy the congenial and stim ulating companionship of others who have come even as you have come. (Thus may you live abundant ly in the Nation’s Sun-Parlor, Flor ida. • Friendly People The people here are very friendly and seem glad that you have come and want you to see and be happy; also there are the friendly visitors, who greet fellow visitors with warm comradeship. Year around it is life in the open. A moderate climate with no- extremes of cold or heat. We are very pleasantly situated with only one block to the main business section, three-minute walk to the shuffleboard courts which is well patronized. Adjoining is the park with a public radio. Other sports featured in this city are baseball, ocean and pool bathing bridge tournaments, fishing, golf and roller skating. Two miles east from us on the (Las Olas Boulevard, built as a “World War” -Memorial (ILas Olas) means ‘‘The Waves”. IThere is a municipal Ocean .Beach and Casino embracing an excellent salt water pool. About four miles from us is an Indian Reservation and miles is the Lion Farm, which we intend to j visit soon. j i Surrounding our cottage is several shrubs and a mass of flowers; also two banana trees with several bunches of bananas. We have used one large bunch, which was really delicious. The others are not quite ready to pick. Also- at the back of the cottage is a cocoanut tree, which had about fifty cocoanuts on. We are using them quite often. Tomatoes in Garden THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE AILSA CRAIG STUDENpJS TO VISIT GUELPH O. A.

We are twenty five miles from Miami, but drive over occasionally. It is 127,000 population and Miami Beach 13,300 population. It truly is a wonderful city. It is named “The Magic ’City.” W. Lauderdale Ft. Lauderdale is not “just an other city.” The allure of its lavish tropical beauty and miles of Venice like waterways, its modern develop ment overtopped with blue sun-shiny skies is magically enhanced by the enchantment o-f an exciting past. Mystery, glamorous romance, adven ture. There are strange tales of a deep, brooding river, that came in a night, of the tragic massacre -of the territory’s first white family, of the Indian’s cunning in the days of the Seminole wars. And all this is an assimilated part of the present-day city where thousands live happily the year round and as many more join the populace for the summer like winters. Fort Lauderdale had its beginning in a military fort and trading post established in 1837 when the Sem inole Indian War was being waged. ■Clifford .has taken up roller skat ing and takes a turn at it each morning.

Miller in London Free Press) The Ontario department of Edu cation has been responsible for the preparation and introduction of new curriculum for the secondary schools of the province. This curriculum is being introduced a year at a time. During the" present school year the changes that have occurred have been connected with the course of the first year of the secondary schools which it’ to be known hence forth at Grade IX- Next year the course for the scond year or grade X will be announced. During the succeeding years the course for the third year or Grade XI, for the fourth up as a vacation. Business practice and writing are combined with the idea of fitting the pupil to deal with business conditions he will encounter later in life and making him acquainted with proper proce dure and developing in him habits of thrift. The scope of physical ed ucation has been enlarged so as to include health education. The above mentioned subjects have all been introduced during the present school year. The London Board of Edu cation have made arrangements for the introduction next September of courses in home economics and gen eral shop work. It should be recognized by all that there are certain very definite underlying purposes of the new course. One of these purposes is a definite training for citizenship so that the students who go out into life from our secondary schools, may be better enabled to function as good citizens. Emphasis is also being placed upon the necssity of a preparation for the right use of one’s leisure time. The subjects of Grade IX have year or Grade XII and for the fifth year or Grade XIII will be announced and introduced. This article will deal only with the new curriculum as in effect for Grade IX. In Groups The subjects of the curriculum provided for Grade IX have been ar ranged in various groups. English includes literature, composition, COUGHS, DISTEMPER, BROKEN WIND have »et their matter in ZEV—made by the male- era of Buckley's Mixture. Stockmen, poultry breed ers, etc., who have used ZEV say it is positively “sura fire” relief for all respiratory diseases in horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry and dogs. It is amazing how quickly it gats raralta in the most stub born eases. In fact; we guarantee ZEV to do in a day or two what it took old- fashioned remedies a month to do. Pet size 50<e, Stock size $1.00. Get ZEV at grammar and spelling. The social studies include British History, geo graphy and civics. The mathematics is a new type of course fcr this prov ince and consists of a combination of arithmetic, algebra and geometry, General science is also an integrat ed course and is made up of botany, zoology and the closely related sciences of physics and chemistry. Music has been introduced as a reg ular subject and includes instruc tion in the reading of music as well as participation ip. the singing of songs and the development of the appreciation of music through lis tening emphasis is also placed upon school choirs, glee clubs, orchestra bands, operettas and auditorium singing. The course in art is ar ranged for th’e purpose of inspiring in the students an appreciation and understanding of art and providing an opportunity for creative work which may enable him to determine his aptitude for following it has been made obligatory on the understand ing that it is definitely an explora tory course. Those responsible for teaching and guiding the work of the students concerned are urged to give special attention to the discov ery cl any special apitude that may be in evidence so that more and bet ter guidance may be given to the individual student in the selection of his subjects in tb.e higher grades as well as in the selection of his vocation. The importance of the development of hight habits of liv ing and working is being stressed throughout this course so that the individuals may learn .how to live as members of society and how to apply themselves to their tasks in after life. All those who are responsible in any way for the introduction and development of the new curriculum realize that this year and the next few .years will constitute a period of experimentation. It may be dis covered that certain changes should be made as the results obtained come under consideration. The indi vidual teacher has been given a much greater responsibility than .he has had in the past and will have a far greater opportunity t.o show his ability in meeting new situations, in presenting the new subject matter and in dealing with students from a slightly altered viewpoint. It is impossible to over-emphasis the val ue of co-operation on the part of the teacher, the student, the parents and the public during the period of experimentation in order that the results accruing from the changes made may at least meet and per chance exceed the expectation of those most interested • « 301is delicious JURY FREES BUS DRIVER The coroner’s jury under Dr. F.
