Mr. 'liming, principal of the Exeter hoot, oleo gave an interesting address in the afternoon. The discourse in the evening was on "Trainingthe Young" t more nd din^ec to 1 n i�o patticitlarlyto rate elder members of the congregation.

Perkins, who preached Harvest Thanksgiving sermons in Aylmer. 31re Perkins ac- companied hint and assisted hint in the choir and also sling a solo. Rev. Godwin occupied his own pul- pit on Sunday last, In the evening he preached an excellent sermon on what' should be read, in the course of which he vigorously denounced the practice of reading the trash printed in many of the novels rind immoral newspapers l. of the United States, and entreated to read the good wholesome news of books of history, biography, travel, etc., ars well as good newspapers, la- menting the fact "that many people did not read the local newspapers,' which etre always filled with good, wholesome, newsy items." Rev. Martin in his own pulpit in the Presbyterian church preached at both services. In the evening sermon he came down very forcibly on the fool- ishness of injuring moral and physical health in the endeavour to store up wealth, instead of doing good and gaining happiness. School Board Minutes. The Board held its regular meeting as usual on Monday. Sept. 20th, with two absentees, J. Evans and W. J. Carling. The resolutions were moved and passed. Per chairman, minutes of previous meeting. Per H. Huston and S. Martin, that the repairs requir- ed to the ash house be left in the hands of the Repairs Committee. Per G, Eac- rett that the examination and cleaning of ventilators be left in the hands of H. Huston and the Ground and Sani- tary Committee. Per H. Huston and S. Martin, that the following account be paid:—W. A. Balkwill, lumber and. labor, $10.05. Per H. Huston and G. Eacrett, that the application of Miss H. Kinsman for the first vacancy in the Junior teaching staff be fyled for future reference. Per H. Huston and S. Martin, that the supplemental liter- ature desired by the principal, be pro- cured forthwith. It will be interesting to the rate payers to learn that in re- sponse to the appeal made by the dep- utation sent to Goderich in March, the H. S. Department of our school has been aided by a grant of $200. The Provincial Government have also sent a similar grant. The Board would re- spectfully urge upon the parents the reasons that impel the county and government to make these grants. Every child in our country is held to be, first of all, part of the state, and secondly its ward and that in the in- terests of the state as well as that of the child it is imperative that every child should have an opportunity to. obtain a thoroughly sound elementary public school education., In conse- quence, in thisparticular, parents and guardians are held to be, only the leg- al guardians of the child, to see that such education is obtained. They may not use its services during school hours between the age of eight and fourteen years, without permission from a mag- istrate, and for reasons that are to be sufficient. Violations of the require- ment constitute a criminal offence for which any parent or guardian may he prosecuted. The Board would respect- fully call the attention of those infring- ing and earnestly desire that further pressure may not be required. la'toittCd.

In spite of the gentlemanly consider- ation which the clerk of the weather showed the directors of the Stephen & Usborne Agricultural Society, there are indications that autumn is upon us and that it is time for the sweet sum- mer girl to put away her shirt waists of lawn and her wide -brimmed hats and seek the spot where her furs repose,. breathing of moth camphor and skat- ing parties.

H. Sutton, of Belmont, occu- pied the pulpit in the Trivittildeinorial church on Sunday last in the absence of the rector, Rev. R. J. M. Perkins, who preached Harvest Thanksgiving sermons in Aylmer. 31re Perkins ac- companied hint and assisted hint in the choir and also sling a solo. Rev. Godwin occupied his own pul- pit on Sunday last, In the evening he preached an excellent sermon on what' should be read, in the course of which he vigorously denounced the practice of reading the trash printed in many of the novels rind immoral newspapers l. of the United States, and entreated to read the good wholesome news of books of history, biography, travel, etc., ars well as good newspapers, la- menting the fact "that many people did not read the local newspapers,' which etre always filled with good, wholesome, newsy items." Rev. Martin in his own pulpit in the Presbyterian church preached at both services. In the evening sermon he came down very forcibly on the fool- ishness of injuring moral and physical health in the endeavour to store up wealth, instead of doing good and gaining happiness. School Board Minutes. The Board held its regular meeting as usual on Monday. Sept. 20th, with two absentees, J. Evans and W. J. Carling. The resolutions were moved and passed. Per chairman, minutes of previous meeting. Per H. Huston and S. Martin, that the repairs requir- ed to the ash house be left in the hands of the Repairs Committee. Per G, Eac- rett that the examination and cleaning of ventilators be left in the hands of H. Huston and the Ground and Sani- tary Committee. Per H. Huston and S. Martin, that the following account be paid:—W. A. Balkwill, lumber and. labor, $10.05. Per H. Huston and G. Eacrett, that the application of Miss H.

It will be interesting to the rate payers to learn that in re- sponse to the appeal made by the dep- utation sent to Goderich in March, the H. S. Department of our school has been aided by a grant of $200. The Provincial Government have also sent a similar grant. The Board would re- spectfully urge upon the parents the reasons that impel the county and government to make these grants. Every child in our country is held to be, first of all, part of the state, and secondly its ward and that in the in- terests of the state as well as that of the child it is imperative that every child should have an opportunity to. obtain a thoroughly sound elementary public school education., In conse- quence, in thisparticular, parents and guardians are held to be, only the leg- al guardians of the child, to see that such education is obtained. They may not use its services during school hours between the age of eight and fourteen years, without permission from a mag- istrate, and for reasons that are to be sufficient. Violations of the require- ment constitute a criminal offence for which any parent or guardian may he prosecuted. The Board would respect- fully call the attention of those infring- ing and earnestly desire that further pressure may not be required. la'toittCd.

In spite of the gentlemanly consider- ation which the clerk of the weather showed the directors of the Stephen & Usborne Agricultural Society, there are indications that autumn is upon us and that it is time for the sweet sum- mer girl to put away her shirt waists of lawn and her wide -brimmed hats and seek the spot where her furs repose,. breathing of moth camphor and skat- ing parties.
