July 1st and July 19th were holidays every Wednesday afternoon a half holiday, Monday, Aug. 4th was civic holiday, awl in a few weeks Sept1st will be a holiday. But there ;tee :,ttl a. few hours a week left to the ndu s trious man who wishes to attend to business. Isn't this holiday business being a. little 'overdone ?-Mitchell Advtocate. An exchange has suggested that schoolexaminations be held at the Christmas time, instead of at midi - summer, when httniau nature i,s crying out far rest and recreation, rather that strain and worry, and when clim- atic conditions are least favorable to. mental activi;tties.c The writer of the above suggestion is evidently not fam- iliar with the necessity of holding the examinations at midsummer, such as has been the timeehonored custom for ages. The facts are these, that -it would hardly be possible to do full justice to the course set Out in the curriculum from September to 'Dec- ember ,owing to the necessity of go- ing over X11 work taken up previous to school closing i;n June. During the two months holidays much of the work taken up would be lost by th.e, absent tram s: haul for two lnoatths, which would necessarily have+ to be reviewed considerably before the commencement of new work. Thus examinations would not be practical at the Christmas season as suggested. PHONE 81a TAMAN'S Summer Goods Summer its here.

'Poria g; the 'last few weeks while the ni;otoring has been good, a great niany peonle from this vicinity and from distant places have visited the monu- ment erected ranmemory ,of the' boyo of the Lt,borne school, who lost their lives overseas. The London Free Press comments as follows,- "'Look- ing ,out over grain fields and, meadow in one of the best agricultural dist. tricts of Huron County, Ontario, is a figure of a young infantryman, done in fine granite. The figure surmounts a base also of stone, and altogether it is a highly creditable art work. In- scribed on the base of the monument are the names of the young, farmers of the district who gave their lives in the nateoa's defen;e in the great war, and also those who enlisted and those who were wounded, What makes the monu- ment the more striking is the fact thaf it stands in the corner of a school - yard. The three young men whose liveswere sacrificed in the war were once scholars at the little white brick schoolhouse. They were the sons of farmers in. the neighborhood. They played and studied and worked by turns. Their schoolmates, many of them, are still ]fere. The homes from which they went, and in which there is the vacant chair, are representative home,. elany people motoring past this Usborne Township schoolhouse are impressed with the thought that no time has been lost by, the farmers of Usborne in erecting this memorial to their fallen soldiers. Their judg- ment in placing it ,in the little school - yard is universally approved. The g children of the present and succeeding generations will look upon the monu- ment and their lives will be molded by the deeds to which this monument is a tribute. It would be well. were it possible to glace such memorials in all our schoolyards, that the boys and girls of Canada might the more close- ly appreciate the liberties they enjoy and might understand that these lib- erties were bought with a price," Exeter Council • Exeter, Monday, August 11th.
