There are IO2 boards of trueteee, 105
school houses and 131 public wheel
teaeheru,
The tota1 expenditures of the boards'
for 1910 amounted to $113,721.78, of
which$81,19212 was paid as eateries to
the 134 teachers,
The number of pupils enrolled was
4,150. The average attendance was
2,088, being 07x per cent of the names
entered on the school registers, Fully
10 per cent of those enrolled drop out
of r.ohool or go to some other school at
Easter,mid•eummer or during{ the term.
Many are enrolled in two or more
schools during the year, thus reducing
the average attendance of all the
schoole, The real average is much
higher than school reports indicate,
being over 75 per cent. About 50 per
cent of the schools were closed for one,
two or more weeks on account. of
measles, chicken -pox or other diseases,
during 1910.
The qualification of the teachers
employed were 7 firet class, 11$ second
claws, 8 third class (5 of these . are
aesistants) and one kindergarten dir-
ector.
A fine two -roomed school was built
in St. Helen's .section during 1010. It
is substantial, convenient and well
located and beautifully finished. It
cost about $1,500. Two teacher; are
employed and a fifth class has been
establtehed, having all the neoeesaryy,
equipment for V class work,
The Geo. Baird school in Stanley
was remodelled and a basement added,
making it practically a new and up.to
date school. Several other schools
were much improved. New schools
should be erected at an early date in
S. 8. No. 4, 8. 8, No, 9, S. S. No. 10,
Ashfield townehip.
Legielative grants are paid on teach-
er's salaries and certificates., fifth
chasers and equipment, agriculture and
horticulture, addition to the school
libraries, and physical training and
military drill. In order to share in
these grants for 1017, the school boards
shall provide all the equipment speci.
fled in section 3, pages 20 and 21 of the
Public and Separate School Regulat-
ions of 1915. Some schools bave not
fully complied with this regulation
yet.
The Son. Dr. Pyne, Minister of
Education, urges teachers to speed up
production and to grow more food in
the' school and have gardens, to utilize
vacant areas for growing food plants.
He suggests that school boards and
teachers may in thie way take advant-
age of the potential labor of boys and
girls from 8 to 16 years of age; to in-
crease the food products of Ontailo by
$10,000,000 in the urban municipalities
aline. Every teacher and every tris.
tee should; at once, organize the boys
and girls, so that the garden work *nay
begin as soon as the weather is favour.
able next spring.
There were many excellent home
and school gardens in t his inspectorate
last year for which the teachers and
boards will receive grants.
Physical training was taken in all
the schools and military drill in about
35 per oent of the classes. This work
is enjoyed by the pupile. All classes
reaching a fixed standard at the ti me
of inspection received a grant. For
physical training 70 schoole received •a
grant and nine school's secured a grant
for military drill.
There are nine fifth class schools
qualified to share in the grants—Bay-
field, Crediton, Dashwood, Dungannon,
Beneali, St. Helen's, Winchelsea, Zar-
ch, and S. 8, No. 14, Stanley. These
schools are well distributed over the
inspectorate. All are doing valuable
work for pupile that have passed the
junior High School' entrance. Several
other schools are doing junior pubi.io
school graduation work. Not having
the full equipment required by the` reg.
ulations they cannot share in the
grants for fifth class work. The
Escter continuation school does effic-
ient high school work for the students
of South Huron.
A. successful Teacher's Institute
meeting, with 128 teachers in attend-
ance was held on September 14th and
15th in Victoria school, Goderieb.
The Easter promotion examinations
which provide a uniform and indepeud-
ent test for the promotion of the.
puplie, was taken by pupils of nearly
all the schoole.
The High School Entrance and the
Public School Graduation examination
was held in June. The results were
generally flatiefe story.
On account of the ecatcity of'labor
the Minister arranged that boys.rec.
amended by their teachers should re-
ceive an Entrance certificate by doing
at least three months' farm work, be.
ginning on May 2001, 1910. Several
did the work and received certificates.
There were many changes of teachers
during 1010. In spite of these changes

All the schoole were visited twice

GOOD WORK APPRECIATED

The following letter was received by
Mrs. John n. Milts R, R. 3, Auburn,
in answer to a note put in a pair of
sox sent to the boys, which goes to
show that our work is appreciated.
France Jan. Oth, 1017
In anewer to a noteed yours written
on the 24th of May and which I
received sometime around Xmas. I
will now endeavour to write a few
lines.
First I must thank you for the
lovely pair of sox I received and which
I am now wearing, it certainly is a
great comfort to us boys to. receive
nice dry eox when we come in from
a night's wandering around the
trenches often over the boot tops .in
water. You asked the one who got
the sox to write a few lines and I only
think it is our duty to do so but some-
times we leave things off too long and
often forget so I have kept your not e
in front of me for a convenient' mom•
ant, I may mention for your inform•
ation that my Regiment is P. P. 0, T.
1. 13, E. F. France.
The boys out here certainly. appre-
ciate the good work you people of
Canada are ctoi ng for us and I extend
my sincere thanks and trust that you
may meet with every evccees in all
your enterprises. '

That they'd put up a superior fight,
But Public School fought with all

And they came out alright that night.

But failed to show where they were

And thought once• woke of sulphuric

Our friends they showed great self -
Hut then they said "We had no fun"
We said quite calmly "It couldn't be

FORESTERS READJUST' RATES
The Canadian Order of Foresters
have for years occupied a prominent
position as one of the leading Frater-
nal Insurance Societies operating in
Canada.
It was luatituted in 1870 by 488 mem-
bers who seceded from the American
Order of Foresters. Today it has a
membership of over 90,000 which is the
largest purely Canadian membership
of any of the fraternal insurance societ-
ies doing busines t in the Dominion.
The Society has had a most euocees-
ful record, and has accumulated funds,
which, at the printout time, amount to
between five and a half and elk mil-
lion dollars. Last year was apparent-
ly one of the most successful years In
the history of the institution. Tho
amount added to the insurance funds
for 1016 was between four and five
hundred thousand dollars. Notwith•
standing this success the management
decided to ascertain what the actuarial
standing of the society was, and se-
cured the services of one of the most
competent actuaries on the continent.
Acting on the advice ofthe actuary,
tho Society decided to readjust ite
rates and place itself upou a basis
which will give it at least 100 par cent
of actuarial solvency.
By taking this course, while its funds
were still piling up it has been able to
treat its members much more favor.
ably than many of the societies which
have readjusted their businesses der.
