To the Electors of South Huron Victoria Day Celebration THE CANADIAN BANK
GENTLEMEN:—
The Liberal -Conservative Conven Once more did the weather than fa -
tion recently assembled at Hensall.
has again done rte the honor of select-
ing me as the standard-bearer of the
party in the costing Provincial con-
test. After years of faithful and con-
scientious service as your representa-
tive, I think that I can with no small
degree of confidence again solicit your
support. During my first term in the
Legislature, I, with a faithful opposi-
tion, fought against fearful odds to ob-
tain honesty and fair play as well as ju-
dicious and righteous management of
the affairs of this Province. I nowam
supporting a Government formed to
carry out the principles for which we
struggled, and am convinced that a
close comparison of the conduct of af-
fairs with that of the previous Gov-
ernment, will cause every right think-
ing elan, i care not what his politics,
to give it and its acts a hearty endor-
sation.
I do not in this address intend to
give an extended review of all the leg-
islation of the past four years, as the
platform is the proper place for such
discussion. Nor do I suppose that
what are known as bide -bound or
strong party men among my oppon-
ents, will endorse me, no matter how
strong a case I may Make out for the
Government, but I appeal to the hon-
esty of the great independent elector-
ate which does its own thinking, and
makes and unmakes Governments ac-
cording as they come up to its ideals.
To this section of the electors, the true
hope of our country, I can appeal as
an honest roan to honest, fair-minded
men and ask thein to give the patriotic
and honest Whitney Government an-
other four years' extension of their
support.
Thar1'>,ing you all in advance for
what i believe will prove on election
day. a fulfillment of my request,
1 am,
Yours sincerer-.
HENRY EILBER,
W. Huron Teachers Meet.
Godericb, May 23.—The West Huron
teachers' convention held in Godericb
last week was a most successful gath-
ering. 107 teachers were present. The
president, H. R. Long. principal of
the Dungannon school, occupied the
chair. A resolution of sympathy with
Mrs. Brownlee in the death of her
husband, Mr. T. H. Brownlee, ex -pre-
sident of the association, was moved
by Inspector Tom, and seconded by
Miss Goldthorpe. A feature of the
convention is the addresses of 1)1•.
Goggin, of Toronto. Yesterday after-
noon he spoke on Nature Study. The
purpose of the subject, he said, was to
put the pupil's mind into such a frame
that he could enjoy life, and he believ-
ed in taking the child to nature, not
in bringing nature to the child. At
the evening session Dr. Goggin .poke
on Some ideals in Education.
The following officers were elected:
President—J. W. Hogarth. Exeter.
Vice-president—Miss L. I. Cunning-
ham,
'unning-
ha1n, Belfast.
Secretarytreasurer—W II. John.
stone, Brucefield.
Councillors—F. Mustard, fort Al-
bert; J. Beatty. Varna; 0. %V, Shore,
Dashwood; Miss W. Howard, Exeter;
Miss V. A. Watson, Goderich.
The examiners elected for the Pub-
lic schools leaving examination are G.
Baird and Miss ('onsitt.
The following resolutions were adop-
ted:
That a provincial examination be
held at the end of the eighth grade of
the Public school course, and students
who pass this examination shall he en-
titled to attend any High school or
Collegiate institute or Continuation
school in the province.
That papers be set on the following
subjects of the course: Reading, writ-
ing, spelling, arithmetic, grammar.
composition, literature, geography
and a modified course in history.
That the result of this examination
be considered in connection with the
teacher's estimate of the standing of
the pupil I I to each subject.
That the mark tequired for passing
be forty per cent. on each subject and
sixty per cent. on the total.
That one-half of the marks in litera-
ture be assigned on prescribed work,
and at (east one-fourth of the marks in
arithmetic he on mechanical woi k en
the four simple lilies. et
That a detailed curticulutn of the w
work in these subjects I;e drawn up C
for the province.and that local author- n
vor Ontario by giving us the finest
kind of weather for Victoria Day, and
royally did the people of Canada cele-
brate the day.
In Exeter an immense number of
people were present from the country
and villages surrounding, and ninny
visitors carne in by train to spend the
day with relatives and friends and en-
joy the sports.
The die was a most enjoyable and
successful one in every way.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the proces-
sion commenced at the Metropolitan
Hotel, under the management of two
veterans, without tvhonl a celebration
in Exeter would be hardly the real
thing. We refer to Mr. N. D. Hurdon,
the President of the Committee, and
Mr. Robert Leathore, who has been
Head Marshall for many years, and to
whom the judges awarded a diploma.
In the line were the Marshalls, Band,
Council, Committee, Trades and Cali-
thumplans.
The procession of Trades and Cal-
ithumpiane was a good one and many
amusing and interesting floats were in
line. W. J. Beer, with an excellent
representation of his harness shop, got
first in the Trades. Among the Cali-
thurnpians we noticed Jaynes Sanders'
representation of "The Boers Return-
ing from War, "(1st prize), the outfit
consisting of a traction engine draw-
ing a large wagon, in the form of an
open house with bark roof, and fol-
lowed by a cannon. The house came
to grief as the procession was ending
at the Town Hall, burying the occu-
pants in a heap of debris. No one was
hurt. Also Louis Day's "Ireland For -
Ever," (2nd prize); Win. Preszcator's
"Merry Widow Hat," (3rd prize);
Wm. Bradt's "Devon House," (4th
prize): "A Bunch of I'icanninnies,"
"The %Vashing Day," and the "Low
Wheeled Rig," were given special
prizes of $1.00 each, while T. Islliott
and his bear were donated a special
prize of $2.00 by one of the Judges,
(George Mace). The other Judges
were Wee. Snell and W. D. Weekes.
At the conclusion of the procession
the crowd witnessed a baseball game
between Exeter and Centralia, result-
ing in favor of the former, 7-2.
All repaired to the Agricultural
Grounds in the afternoon, where, in
spite of the hot day. all enjoyed the
shorts and races,
The 2:30 trot or pace was won sty
Minnie E. owned by Chris. Eilber, Zur-
ich, getting 1,1,1; 2nd, Freddie Mack,
A. 13. Hodgins. Clandeboye. 2,2,2; 3rd,
Bel I'atchen, 11, 11, Hebden, Crediton
East, 3,4,3: ith, Nellie M, Geo. Troyer,
Hillsgreen, 1, 3, 4.
The running races was won in two
heats: 1st, Weary Willie, G. L. Law-
son, Crediton East; 2nd, Minnie, Fred
Hogarth; 3rd, Dinah, G. Boss, Hensall.
To Mr. 1s. Bossenberry of Zurich
who acted as Judge is due much credit
for the capable manner in which the
races were conducted.
The athelic sports were won as fol-
lows: Business Men's race, E. Treble,
E. Christie, A. Ford; j utile boys, 11.
Hanlon, P. Lawson, G. Taylor; 100
yds. Girls, Zoe %fiery, Etta Welsh,
Elsie Dilling; apple contest, E. Taylor,
A. Duplan, A Carter; Fish lace, E.
Taylor, L. Weaver, A. Dimling Farm-
er's race, E. Dinnin, F. Hawkshaw, 11.
Ford; Relay race, A. Duplari's team, E.
Southcott's team; Men over 60 years,
John Ford, Al. Bissett, Albert Ford.
The day was too hot. the pig too tante
and sluggish, and the catchers too act-
ive to make the OF contest a good one,
although it was tried twice.
The Marathon race over the course
of six miles was an absorbing event
and was won by Ed. 1Vestcott of Us -
borne, with the Indian Geo. Peters of
Hay. two hunched yards behind. Sev-
en entries were trade but these were
the only two who finished, the excess-
ive heat causing them to drop out
some early in the race and others after
almost completing the trip. Both
Westcott and Peters finished strong
and were quite able to snake a few
more miles. Time 40 minutes, 23 sec-
onds. Rousing cheers were given
both as they finished the course.
Et' ENIN(t CONCERT
The concert given in the evening
ander the management of Mr. Mack
Vincent was a creditable affair and
was attended by at large and npprecia-
Live audience. Will J. 1Vhite, enter-
tainer and comedian, Miss Francis
Wright, contralto, Miss Jean Wnlker,
elocutionist, Miss Nina Carling, Mack
Vincent and Wrn. Brown were the
artists for the evening, an(1 each and
everyone gate their numbers in such
yle that they could not fail to meet
ith the greatest of applause. T. B,
At ling performed the duties of chair -
tan in a most pleasing manner.
ities be allowed the privilege of extend-
ing this course by including certain
optional subjects in accordance with at
curriculum which shall be supplied.
Miss McCallum introduced the sub-
ject of "Art Work in the Public
School.- She was very glad that the
subject was placed on the propgRrain as
it possessed good educative val'le. She
found that pupils who are taught in
the first forms as well as in the higher
forms were more observant. Pupils
should never draw from copies,always
from model.. Flowers were excellent
mcdels. Wall paper could be used for
art of the work and this saved ex-
pense. Pupils should he allowed to
place their own models. Teachers
should advise. Pupils should learn to
s models, use colors, etc. The sant-
pies of work shown were gond.
