He will afterwards take up the farm, home and public mechanical work1 with some fundamental training be­ hind him. The two subjects are eminently practical and will give the boys and girls a. better start in their life’s work. Would not that be worthwhile? I have made the statement that if a ratepayer’s assessment were $1,- 000 that his increased taxes would be only 80c. If all our high s’chool students were children of residents of Exeter, the amount would be $1.60, but ov,er half of our students come from outside the village, and the county council pays the whole cost of their education. iSo that re­ duces the cost to the ratepayers of Exeter to 80c., on each $1,000 of assessment. It is very probable that as Where shop-, work and science are being taught school the teachers and say the kids take to 'it like ducks to water. They will not he fully trained but they, will have a mighty good start, domestic in the observers Alvin Wurm, Margaret and Melvin and Mrs. Robert Bell and daughter Margaret, of Hensall.

These cattle are here on consign­ ment and will be sold, Trucks to Deliver TERMS—CASH ’ NAIRN & TAYLOR, auctioneers I J. G. DOW, Manager A study of the ability of the young men whs are tramping the country shows that the vast majority have little education and no trade, They have not been taught to use head or hand. Then the system of educa­ tion must be changed so that they as boys may be taught, how to use their work hands to earn a living. Shop in the schools will do this, the oldIn school in the to use their shops, tailor planing mills, etc. Girls learned dressmaking, millinery, etc. Today, the school to be practical must pro­ vide conditions that will teach them the use of their hands. Hence we days boys just out of smaller towns learned hands in blacksmith shops, machine shops, Girls g, millinery, etc. if the two subjetts are not taught ip'have s-bop work and home economics taught in the schools. This is not theory. It is practice. Exeter school we would lose many of the outside pupils, and their loss would increase our taxes to a greater extent bli'an 80c. In other words-r- give the students the training in these subjects and pay 30c. more for fifteen years, or do not give them the training, lose many of the students, and our tax rate for school purposes will go up probably more than the 80c, per $1,000 of assessment. Personally I have no axe to grind in the matted 1 have no children, nephews or nieces, going to school. I have simply given the matter a lot of study, and I am interested in the children, in the school and in the town, as well as in tne tax rate. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, I main, re- Yours truly R. N. CREECH t Editorial Notes The Department of Education does not require Exeter to have a High School. It requires that we teach children up to the age of 16. But since Exeter has a High School, the Department sets the course of study, and the S&hool Board has to supply accommodation and teachers to teach ‘that course of study. There is no option about it. of tears we grope’ memory lane our way. - Dear Mother, near today; Through a mist for your hand, Although we know you are in a farer and happier land, You thait werl so good and kind, to •one and all, It seemed hard to think you had to go; But God had a greater need for you Mother dear, Our greatest consolation is we’ll meet again we know.

HP / We are convinced that if a rate­ payer is to remain a ratepayer of Exeter for the next four or five years that it will cost more money in taxes if the by-law is defeated than if it carries. The Board of Education have gone into the question from every angle and are convinced that the cheapest and best plan for Exe­ ter and for the ratepayers is carry out the requirements ®f Department of Education. Vote the By-law next Monday. to the for If Goderich, Seaforth, Clinton.and Wingham are convinced that it is in the interests of their towns to pro­ vide the new courses of study at a considerable cost and aS' the Board of Education for Exeter are convinc­ ed that it is in the best interests of Exeter surely not all of them can be wrong. Exeter has the lowest tax rate and the lowest debenture debt of any of them. It is a rare question in any muni­ cipality on which you will find ten representatives of the people of the same opinion. Yet the ten ' mem­ bers of the Exeter Board of Educa- tion, who have devoted 'considerable time and thought in discussing the new courses of study, have’ ,come to the conclusion that it is the best in­ terests of Exeter and the ratepayers to provide for these new courses. Surely, some confidence can be plac­ ed in their judgment,■ ,Some of them are our largest taxpayers.
