Quack Specialist When Gregor -started to school, some older boys, including Harold and George Pearson got him to imitate the duck an loud' tome in that song. All Master Baird did was single Gregor out by a nod of his head. Other songs recalled were '-`0b.iand,.. fathea-'s Clock" and a Civil War song "Say Darlele, Hab Yo' Seen De Massa?" • One Friday the older girls and. boys decided to say as short recitations as passible. Given 'hi the secure knowledge that the rleprimana if any, would be light, the following are a sample of the jingles which were recited; "The Niagara Falls is wide and deep And a very gaga place for washing sheep." Buffalo- Bill from Summerhill, I never worked and I never wile". "I'm Paddy from Ireland, Paddy from Cark. There's a hole in my britches As big as New York." "Did you have veiling matches?" Lucy -enquired. "Occasionally," replied Gregor, "one was taken from the speller about diseases, I was an early casualty.," On one occasion near the close of his teaching career, Wil- liam McQueen Who had led the singing in the Presbyterian Church in Brucefield called at the school. The school master and his guest began singing together and enjoying themselves so much that school was dismissed Besides teaehing five days a week, George Baird taught Sunday School in the schoolhouse for 30 ytars, under the auspices of the Presbyterian. Church, Each Thanksgiving, ministers came to examine the scholars, and they received hooks as awards. Carl, although attending Sunday School at St. John's. Church, Varna, went, to the Presbyterian Sunday School one Thanksgiving and was pleased to receive a book, too. • Walked Thousands Of Allies Master Baird walked two and a half miles to school each day'. It has been calgulated that in 50 years he walked the equivalent of twice around the world. In his. later years, he sometimes rode a bicycle. He taught three generations. In one family they were: Malcolm McEwen, his daughter Mrs, Adam Stewart, and her daughter, Mrs. P. Noonan, Clinton. There are many of his pupils living today but the only ones residing in the school section are: Mabel Stanbury (Mrs. Wil- liam Falconer), Mervin Hanly, Miss Isabel Glen and Jack Glen. Did The Work Themselves - And in those days, it was' pointed out, pupils studied geo- graphy, local and world-wide, by drawing the maps themselves. They took a pride in it. Art was combined with geographical knowledge. Today, the pupil in Huron County is handed an outline and asked to make certain markings. And while on the subject Lucy heard of a teacher a 'few years ago Who - couldn't put a jig-saw puzzle of Ontario (Pat in counties for Classroom instruction) to- gether without recourse to the map. flow Times _Have Changed How times have changed since Lucy's- primary school days! And right now she'd 'like to predict that the day will come when large area schools where children are "run through -the mill" like a tactory, so to speak, will be found Unwieldy, inaffecitive and too expensive. They will then be broken into smaller units where there is more personal contact by teachers with pupils and parents. When William Glen was Reeve of Stanley, he spoke at County Counda meeting, paying tribute to George Baird in teaching 50 years in the one school, One reeve asked: 'Did a man teach in. one school for 50 years?" "No," replied William Glen, "he wore out the one school- house. We built him another and it is nearly done." It would be difficult to estimate the influence for good, and culture Which went far' and Wide from 'this school under the teaching of George Baird. He was• once described to Lucy as .having been "Of the salt of the earth." FolloWirrg the Master as teacher at Baird's School was one of his former pupils, Miss Elizabeth McEwen (Mrs. Robert Mc- Laren, Ilensall) , •Started Weather Records During his teaching career, he also worked the farm as much as possible and served Stanley Township as auditor for a long period, He commenced recording 'the temperatures and rainfall as -meteorological agent. This work was carried on by his son. George Thomas', and now by his grandson Norman Baird on the ,same farm.

He noted that in spite of the trend to larger farms, the lab- our farce had been cut dawn 45 percent but , output had in- creased 54 percent.- This has been accomplished through the use of better and bigger equip- ment, Remember 5 M's "Efficiency has been arrived at through increased productiv- ity per acre and per anirnall' he said, "Where one farmer used to feed ten people, he now feeds 26." Me. Alderson- said that if the 5 M's = Management, money, machines, materials and min- utes—are handled wisely, suc- cess can be obtained. He said he believed that today's fatm- ere; are faced with enormous decisions and Ontario Hydro welcomes invitations from its 140,500 farm customers to as- sist them in their wiring pro- blems. • The speaker said that the 35 amp. 'service installed many years ago and still in use on many farms could be compared to a Model T Ford on .the high- way. There is not enough cap- acity in the wires to carry the increased load of added equip- ment and appliances. He said the practicability of a 100 amp. service was now questionable and advised 'that a 200 amp. service is now recommended and would take care of day ex- pansion in the next ten years. . • • Mrs. Ken Johnson was in charge of the worship service far 'the' January meeting of Unit 2 held in the church .parlour.
