BLIIEVALE. •On Monday evening the Bluevale Lit- erary Society had the pleasure of listen - leg to an address by Prof. S. B. Mc- Cready, of Guelph, on the subject of consolidated schools and the teaching of Agriculture. Inspector Field, of God- erich, was also present and gave a pleasing talk on the value of literary societies to the community, suggesting further possibilities of usefulness, such as the establishment of a library, ex- pressing his pleasure that a new school was at last to be built here and urging that it should be planned so as to be a credit to the neighborhood and give the widest possible service to the people. Prof. McCready, who followed, gave an eloquent and inspiringpicture of the new school as the social centre of the entire disteiet, well built, well lighted, well ventilated, set in large and attrac- tive grounds, a source of pride to its owners and imparting new dignity and self-respect to rural life. He showed how the Literary Society, the Women's Institute, the Farmer's Institute, the social and atteetic organizations could all co-operate with the school in making ' better conditions of life. The school' would contain an assembly -room with a piano where these societies could hold their meetings, where concerts j and lectures could be given, where the young people could present plays and a local orchestra could be established. The school grounds would be large enough for the boys of the neighborhood to hold their football and baseball matches and for tennis and basket -ball to be played while in the winter a por- tion of the grounds could be flooded for a skating rink. Part of the land could be devoted to school gardening and the school building be equipped for teach- ing the other subjects which would be of greatest value to the people who would always reside here. Prof. Mc- Cready assured his hearers that this was no idle dreams but was in actual operation in other places and he told the Literary Society that they had the organization that could help to make this dream come true. During his lecture Prof. McCready I showed a series of lantern slides illus trating the teaching of agriculture in the schools and at the 0.A.C., school children's experiments, school fairs, school gardens and grounds. The pic- tures included a number of consolidated schools in Ontario and Manitoba and also views from Australia, New Zea- land, England and the United States. A vote of thanks was moved by Mr R. Black and seconded by Rev. C. Tate. "A Nicht wi' Burns" will be given on Wednesday, Feb. 25, as owing to stormy weather it had to be cancellt. d on the date previonsiy announced Ite. v. Crawford Tate will deliver the address on the poet and an interesting pro- gramme has been arrang, d consisting of songs, readings and musie of a Scot- tish charaeter and the regular nurniar of the Literary Digest. On Monday afteronon Prof. McCready and Inspector Field held a c nferenee with ;he teaci,ers nd school trustees of this district in the Forestere' Hail to discuss the teaching or egricultim and the questio i of building a consolidated school. A rnajoity ot thote present A Cure Foe Mosquitoes. The people of . London have learned of an agreeable way to keep their houses free from flies and mosquitoes. They burn sandalwood, which bas a pleasing odor, but one that the sum- mer peste much dislike. The ides. comes from the orient, where it has long been practiced. The sandalwood can be bought at al- most any Turkish or Japanese import- ing house_ You prepare it for burning by cutting it into pieces about half an inch thick aud three inches long and' then bake or dry it in a slow oven for twenty-four hours. You light a piece of the wood and put it in a metal urn or saucer. After it has ignited welt blow out the flame and leave the red ember to smolder until the wood is wholly consumed. Father's Ultimatum. The father of a large family of chlIr dren was trying hard to read the even. ing paper. "What's that terrible racket in the hall, Martha?"
