NO DEARTH OF TEACHERS
There is 'every indication that
there will be no shortage of school
teachers to fill all the available
schools throughout Ontario after the
holidays. By the immense number
opening of school after midsummer
of teachers who have qualified at
Normal during the past term, hun-
dreds will be added to the list al-
ready teaching and we are informed
that wl
urren,
many applications have been receiv-
ed by the trustees. ' In one school
near Walkerton, no less than 90 ap-
plications have been received.

ENTRANCE CLASS DO WELL
The fifteen pupils who wrote on
the Entrance here, were all success-
ful and fourteen took honors. Miss
Muriel Howald succeeded in winning
the two Scholarships, one for the
town and one for the Exeter district.
Several of the pupils were highest in
Subjects. The showingon the whole
is of remarkable achievement and
the pupils and teacher, Mr. G. S.
Howard, are to be congratulated and
may justly feel proud of their suc-
cess.
DROWaTED AT GODERICH
Miss Grace Whyte, known to many
in town, met with an untimely end
at Goderich last week. The deceas-
ed was a sister of the late James
Whyte who lived in town for some
time, on Ann Street, and during his
residence here, she many times visit-
ed with him.. It appears Miss Whyte
went to Goderich to spend a time by
the lake side. The deceased left her
boarding house on Thursday last,
but failed to return that night
This, however, did not alarm the
people at the boarding house, bait 110
more was' seen of her until Friday,
when, while walking along the bank
in front of the Hotel Sunset, one of
the guests saw something resembling
clothing floating in the lake below.
On making examination he found it
to be the body of a woman, fully
dressed': The body was recovered
and was found to have been dead for
some time. - Coroner Hunter, who.
was called, made an exa'hninartiou and
from a bank book on a`Mitchell bank.
identified' the 'young woiian. as :Miss
Grace' Whyte, . who had= been- living
with her aunt, Miss Elizabeth . Whyte
at Mitcbell for about' a year. She
formerly lived. at Harniota, Man., but
came to stay with realtives in the
East, followipg the death of her fa-
ther. Her mother is also dead. She
is survived by several brothers, all
in the West. The young woman had
been in ill health fer some time and
had been on a trip to Toronto prior
to coining to Goderich, where she
had been staying for about two
weeks. Her aunt was unaware that
she was in Goderich and believed
her to be in Toronto with relatives.

To the Editor of the Advocate:—
There appeared an article in the
Advocate last week regarding dogs
running at large, contrary to the
Village by-law. This by-law, he
claims,is being ' entirely ignored,
which is true; but I s*ihli to draw
the attention' of the writer, that the
Council has clone its full duty, as a
Council, to provide a means of pro-
tection against the'nuisanee of dogs
running at large. The violation of
this by-law becomes "a, case to be de-
cided, in the courts and it is the duty
as well as , the privelege of every
citizen to lay an information against
any one who wilfully or carelessly
refuses or neglects to comply with
any of the town by-laws or any other
law enacted in Canada. - Therefore
I wish to exonerate the Council of'.
the, charge of being negligent in en
forcing the law.
I agree with the writer, that the
violation of the by-law in question,
is a menace to citizens of our town
and should be stopped. While it
might seema hardship to keep dogs
in close confinement, it is equally.
discouraging, after devoting consid-
erable time and cost to beautify the.
Mr. Edumund J. Wethey, M.A., as
principal; Mr. Henry Bowers, B.A.,
as Science Specialist; Miss Margaret
E. Ross as Language teacher and
Miss Mary E. Hale, B.A., as teacher
of German, English and Physical
Culture. With this excellent staff,
Exeter High School will doubtless
maintain the enviable reputation
which it has had in recent years.
The Fall term opens on Sept: 2nd
and already 175 students have en-
eolled with the genial Secretary,
Miss K. MacFaui, suggesting the pos-
sibility of a larger registration than
ever. 5
