Above is an exact reproduction of the
Referendum ballot, showing the correct way
to Vote in order to sustain the Ontario Tem-
perance Act as it stands.
Everybody should study the four questions and
realize exactly what they mean. Do not be misled by
the insidious demand for "light" beer.
The beer of the ballot is 118% stronger than the
Ontario Temperance Act now allows, and over five
times as strong as the limit allowed for beer defined as
non -intoxicating in Great Britain and the Llnited. States.
Answer Each Question
1. Unless you vote on every question your ballot
is spoiled,
2. You must mark your answer to each ques-
tion with an "X" only. Anything else would
spoil your ballot.
3. Unless a majority vote "No" on question 1
the bars will be restored and the sale of all binds of intoxicants permitted.
Un1Pcs a majority vote "No" on questions 2, 3 and 4 the Ontario Tem:
perance Act will become almost worthless,
5. The only SAFE course is to mark your ballot as shown above.

walks of life. The teachers felt that
the psychological moment had ar-
rived to do something and those pre-
sent decided that a minimum salary
of at least $700 should be received
by beginners, This should be increa-
sed by $50 a year until $900 is rea-
ched for the fifth's year's salary.
Pledge cards were produced and
signed by almost everyone. The ses-
sion closed then to meet at eight
o'clock in the At Home in the Assem-
bly room of the school.
THL RSDAY EVENING SESSION
Inspector Tom occupied the chair.
Mr. Beavers, Reeve of Exeter in a
neat speech, given in his usual hap-
py manner, extended a hearty wel-
come to the teachers and wished
them a profitable convention. Mr. R.
Redmond delivered the President's
address taking as his theme, The Im-
provelnont of the School Section. In
}pleasant manner he Iogically pres-
ented in choice language the claims
of this important matter upon the
teacher. He held that the teachers
should be a power in the section
to help on this good work. We have
a country so fertile and diversified
in surface that it lends itself to aid
the man who would beautifiy. Added
beauty means added wealth, plea-
sure, and enjoyment. He would have
teachers start with the school
grounds and surroundings and then
pass on to individual farmer's prem-
ises ending up with the whole sec-
tion. In a six weeks trip during the
past summer through our western
provinces and several of the States
of the Union he saw no country to
'equal the rich farming lands of
South Huron. The address was a
good one.
Mr. Stevenson excelled himself in
'his address on Literature and Life.
.As a measure towards making life
worth living he recommended a
study of good literature. We speak of
men as doing well because they are
making money even though there
antsy be many things in their lives
that are disheartening or unprofit-
able. Instead of running after the
movies and other equally useless
things men and women should cul-
tivate an appreciation of good liter-
ature in all its various phases, as for
example the literature of humor,Mr.
Stevenson gave many good examples
of humor. He illustrated the litera-
ture of power by reciting one of Mrs.
Barrett Browning's poems from the
Portuguese describing the growth of
love for Robert Browning under the
picture of a flower. In memorizing
he would choose something suitable
for the class, , The teacher should
appreciate it. He should teach his
children to appreciate it. It should
i then be taken as a reading lesson,
after which the pupils should mem-
! orize it. In early poems alliteration
was an outstanding feature as well
as the use of musical consonants.
Literature should be a source of
pleasure and inspiration. As an in-
stance of the latter he quoted Mar-
shall Foch's famous statement at the
battle of the Marne, when he an-
nounced "My centre is retreating,my
right is broken, the situation is ex-
cellent, I shall attack at once." He
yrged everyone to read, The Blessed
'Demoiselle. It is only on rare occas-
ions audiences have the privilege of
listening to such an inspiring address
The Rev. A. A. Trumper, a mem-
ber of the Exeter School Board be-
ing present was called upon and
gave a short inspiring address on
the work of the teacher and welcom-
ed the convention to Exeter.
Solos by Misses Huston and Mon -
cur and Mrs. Wright A piano• solo
by Miss Coates and a violin select-
ion by the president, Mr. Redmond
added much to the pleasure of the
evening. A dainty luncheon pre-
pared by the .Exeter teachers was en-
joyed by everyone.
' A hearty vote of thanks was ten-
dered Mr. Stevenson and all who
took part in the evening's entertain-
ment.

Mr. Nelson E. Dahms, Principal of

paper on Literature for Fourth and

ing of literature without having the
examination in view. He would teach
the literature rather than the rules
