"Congratulations to In- spector Tom on having rounded out his fiftieth year in educational work. Though. it was quite unexpected, Mr: Tont ,highly appreciated the kindness of the staff. Mr. Toni got his public school edu- cation at S. S, No. 5, Usborne :Town- ship, Huron County, and after atten- ding the Normal: School in Toronto. took his first position as teacher in.1 3.872, when he was teacher of the'I public school at Canfield, Haldinan County, This positionhe held for four. years, when he was a few mouths afterwards appointed princ- ipal of Georgetown Ptiblic School. In January, '1877 he was appointed science master at St. Marys Collegi- ate, and in 1885 Look the same pos- ition in Strathroy Collegiate, He was only there a short while when he ac- cepted' the position offered him by Huron County Council, that of public school -inspector of West Huron, -which, position Mr. Tom' still holds. INSPECTOR OF 1,000 During his time as inspector, Mr. Tom has had well on overa thousand teachers passed from this charge, and speaks with the highest praise of all of them. Inpector Tom is a strong believer in the consolidated schools, and beli- eves that they will play a prominent part in the educational life of the yeeee,,;,b•foIks, particularly to those in the outlying rural districts, and even in the villages. , Mr. Tonimade a tour down through Ohio last summer investigating the system there, and -Speaks favorably of it. Mr. Tom played an important part in the star- ting of a consolidated school eat, Ben - miller. It is proposed to start erect- ion of this school in the near future. SCORES TEXT BOOKS In speaking' of the many changes that have taken place in the past 50 years of his teaching, he thinks that the text books used now.,are not as good as, they were 20 years ago. This applies particularly to the readers. Some of the parts are too frivilous, so much so that Mr. Tom found in his,insiectiens that some` of the tea -cuors were not teaching them at all. The poems were not as good as they were 20 years ago. He believes that more religious training should be given, More of the Bible should be taught, not nece- ssarily the Bible teachings, but the history leading up to the Bible. Although in his 69th year, Mr. Tom believes that he is ,still good for, a goodly' number of years yet. Besides his important task he is an ardent worker in. KnoxPresbyterian Church and also takes a strong interest in all affairs leading to the welfare of the town of Goderieh. s LQ9Z%Ii'kJ TEACHERS NM. When. Mr. Tom became inspector of schools for West Huron in 1866 there were in that year 125 teachers, of whom 70 were men and 55. wo- men. Of these five held first-class certificates, 48 second class. and 72 third-class .The average salary paid in 1866 was $355,. There are now 134 teachers engag- ed at an average salary of $1,191, of J. ELGIN TOM Inspector of West Hum', An Exeter Boy, brother of, r;1e et Old 3 Misses Torn and Mrs. (Dr.) Sweet, whom 17 are "men and 117 are wo- men. Their certificates are nine first-class, 124 second-class and one kindergarten primary. Mr. Tem points out that a conso- lidated school section was formed in Colborne Township in 1920. When a school is built and the school.`grows into a continuation school, as it should in two years, the whole cost to the section is likely to be less than it was with three sections.- On Dec. J.3 and 14, 1921, Inspect- or Tom visited the consolidated school at G -rand Rapids, Ohio. that section was formed r ed in 1915, includ- ing the village of Grand Rapids (ha- ving`three public school teachers and two continuation school teachers) and the eight one teacher schools of the township. .4. fine school house was erected in 1916, having every convenience necessary, at a cost of $53,000 when ready for occupation. In 1919 two sections from another. township joined the consolidation, and in 1921 one section from another township united with them. At pres- ent there are seven public school tea- chers and four high school teachers in place of 14 public school and two continuation teachers in 1915. Three auto busses and seven horse vans, carrying the pupils to and from school at a cost of $720' per month for 282 public school and 87 high school students, of whom 75 walk to school, 'making about $2.50 per month per pupil for transporation. AT GRAND RAPIDS "The people of the Grand Rapids. consolidated section," he says, "are more than satisfied with their school and the results; The •pupils are con- veyed to and from school every day in comfortable vans. They are reg- ular in attendance even in the worst Weather. Several of the teachers board in the country and ride in the vans with the pupils. The pupils are at home every night with their par- ents. They get an education fitting then to enter a normal school or a university without leaving their par- ents hones. The cost of conveying the pupils is not more than $30 a pupil per year. This is the total cost. of conveying 'the pupils to and from the consolidated school at Mallory- town, in the county of Leeds, Ont. "This is certainly cheaper and mono satisfactory than sending the children away from home to board with strangers, who have no interest or control over them.. The main opp- osition. to consolidated schools seems to be the imaginers high cost of tran- sportation. This shoud not deter any community from providing a school which will be a boon to all the child- ren in the consolidated sections. Even those who have no children at- tend school should be in favor of 16 r..* r v e. -. rem r TAE EXETER `TSS • hepping to get a consolidated school ol established benefit their i eiglor NEVVS TOPICS OF WE boys•and girls.

The following trustees were ap- pointed for the village of Granton for 1922: Jos. Grant, E. B. Smith and J. P. Barthel, Mr. Milne R.

Falling from a waggon on which he was riding home from, school a few days ago, the small son of :And-- rew Doi -man, McGillivary Township, sustained severe injuries to the Bead when he was jolted from the waggon which turned out to pass an automo- bile. Several stitches were required toos a o F cl e wound id on the forehead, and he was briij badly r , sed as well. He is progressing favorably. - The funeral of Catherine Connolly, widow of the late Michael Connolly, of Logan Township, took place at St. Brigid's Church, Doublin. Six sons and two daughters survive: John J., Michael, Martin; William Peter and Joseph; the daughters are Mrs. pat. - rick. at -rick McLaughlin, of Mcillop, and Miss Nellie at home. Interment was in St. ,Vincent de Paul's Cemetary, Mtichel 1. Unnecessary to Graft Skin. When much skin is destroyed in burns, a common resort is skin graft, applied either in small isolated -patches to grow gradually over the surface, or in pieces up to two or three inches square to cover a large portion or all of the wound. At a recent medical meeting, Dr. E. G. Beck of Chicago called attention to a process of culture by which skin may be made to grow without grafting, even over large, sur- faces. As the wound heals the granu- lations at the edge of the spreading fresh skin place an elevated barrier in its way and if these gramilations are removed .as often as every 24 hours the patient's own skin is given a chance and may be watched spreading over the entire surface. 4. protective covering of paraffin often promotes the replacement of skin without grafting. Iron Germs. In the same manner that coral is de- rived from certain minute sea -insects who,flourish in: the South Pacific, so certain iron ores are obtained from particular microscopic organisms. That is thelatest scientific discovery, which -promises interesting develop- ments. It has been proved that these germs. not only' aid in the decomposition of rocks and in the formation of chalk and limestone, but play an active part in the forming of iron -ore deposits. Laboratory cultures have been made of bacteria which deposit iron com- pounds both in surface waters and in - mine water hundreds of feet under ground, and- the hard crusts and slimy masses that choke up water -supply pipes have been found to be composed of millions of these "iron bacteria."
