Huron anti the Whit- ney (iov eminent. The educational policy ..f tri pie - sent Government is avowedly based upon the principle of fulfilling in all respects the pcutut:,es made by Mr. Whitney and his associates when in Opposition. The present Goveinutent, ou assum- ing office, was pledged to open up the whole question, with the following ob• jests in view: "To secure the efficiency of the Pub- lic Schools, wherein 95 per cent of the children got all their education; to break up the school book monopoly, which has exacted high prices for in- ferior books; to modify the examina- tion system with a view to improving the work done in the schools." Shortly after the Whitney Adminis- tration assumed office, the financial prospects of the Province had improv- ed, aided by the businesslike methods introduced into all the Public Depart- ments and a bold step was resolved upon. The Legislature Grant to rural schools was increased from $120,000 in 1905 to $380,000 in 1007. This was an increase of $200,000 in the amount paid to rural schools all over the Province. First: fixed grants of from $20 to $30 in all Schools, where the Assessment falls below $50,000; Second: 40 per cent on all salaries upto $000, in ex- cess of $300; Third: A grant of $20, to each school, employing a teacher with a first and second class certificate; Fourth: A grant upon the school equipment in proportion, as it is brought up to modern requirements. This system has been a year iu oper- ation and has given entire satisfaction. The County of Huron received in 1901 (the last year of the old regime) $5,038, and in 1007 under the Whitney Ad - . ministration $1.4,317, an increase of $9,279.00. The over -done examination system, was the crying grievance in Ontario. The fallacious theory that the educ- ational system was a kind of a ladder, one grade of school leading to another • by a system of examinations, and all •fitted together with the University at the top, was partly responsible for this. In point of fact, 95 per cent of the children began and ended their schooling in th•a Public Schools. To test their abilities by an examination. enabling them to enter the secondary schools prnduced two serious evils. It provided a test, which was of practical benefit only to a mere fraction of the -pupils and the test in itself, brought about a neglect of the very subjects justly regarded as the essentials of a sound elementary training. namely: spelling. reading. penmanship and arithmetic. Continuation Classes. Another promise of the Government is being fulfilled In the development of the continuation and fifth class work in the Public Schools. The airn is to place within the reach of all Public .School children, whose parents cannot afford or do not intend to send them to the High School-% a more complete and thorough primary education. A special Inspector was placed over this work. in future there are to be con - When the 1 Hair Falls Then it's time to act! No time to study, to read, to experi- ment!

THE SCHOOL BOOK ItiN(i ItItOKEN. That the profits made by publisher of School Books, were excessive, was repeatedly charged during past years. So burdensome had the cost of books become. both by reason of the prices and the frequent changes, that the parents of pupils saddled, for no good reason, with heavy expenditures. were exasperated and their interest in ed- ucation diminished. This grievance was especially justified in respect of Public Schools text books. The auth- orization of more than one book in a subject was POLITICAL and not ed- ucational policy. The mechanical production of the books was inferior and did not warrant the prices charged. The Whitney Government bas broken up the School Book Ring. Former price Red'd price First Reader, Pt.

Will you record your votes against a man and a Gov- ernment, who have given you a square deal? Stop and consider, where are the men to -day, who gave a monopoly to certain printing establishments to make your pay exorbitant prices for books to give your children an educa- tion? Every one of them is out of Provincial Politica, as they should be. They were afraid to face the electors. A considerable reduction in the prices of the Literature for High Schools has also been secured. Their reduction are as follows:— Former price Pres. price Eng. Literature texts, :roc, 20c. French " " 40c, 15c. German " 50c, 25c. The whole question of the cost and improvement of all school text books is now under consideration by the Min- ister of Education and the Govern- ment has announced that, should any combination of publishers, attempt to control prices and extort from the public unjustifiable profits. the Depart- ment will itself publish the books as Mr. Eilber has promised, if the Whit- ney Government was returned to pow- er, the day of monopoly would be gone forever. The liberality of the present Govern- ment in,the matter of school grants is the strongest evidence of its desire to place the educational interests of the Province on a stronger footing than ever before. In 1901 Ross expended $961,577.00, in 1908 Whitney Vaal,. 685.00, and no doubt, before the day of election. Mr. Either of South Huron, will be charged for supporting an ex- travagant Government. Mr. Either prides himself of being able to assist the people in the matter of education of the youth of this Province. Do not forget Mr. Eilber on the 8th of June. ire will vote to give the people of Ontario a square deal. Fire Insurance Business. The finance minister tabled the ale -tract of statements r Pats e f insurance coo- pvnies in Canada for 1917. it shows that the total amount of life insurance effected in Canada der- ing the year was $00,851,182, a (le. crease of $1,158,723 as compared with Iran, but a falling off nearly ten mil. lions as compared with 1905. To the decrease for 1907 tis compar- ed with the preceding year Canadian companies contributed $179,937; Brit• ish eannpanies 897•1,6ti.i, and American companies $1,158,723. The piemium income of the life he suranees companies shows, however. an increase of $782,580, the total being $23.117.012, as again'.t $'22,361.I50 in 1900. The increase of premium income of the Canadian companies was $!t73,80l. while the income of British companies 0 from their Canadian t'tiiiness decrees. ti ing $13,910: and that of American cum• 11 p:(nies decreased 875,29s. et The net amount of life insurance in , force at the end of the year was $689,• o 3.21,506, an increase of $3,163,60) as a compared with 1006.

DEATH.—Tbis week we must record the death of another of the pioneers of the township. We refer to the pass- ing away of Mr. Charles Willert, Sr., which sad event occurred at the horse of his son, Henry, where the old gen- tleman has made his home since the death of his aged partner Last fall. He had attained a good age, being closet* eighty. Mr. Willert has been a faith- ful member of the Lutberian Church since early boyhood. In politics he was a staunch Conservative. He leases a grown up family of nine sons. One son and one daughter and his beloved wife predeceased him. We extend to the bereft ones the sincere sympathy of the entire community. The London Free Press of Saturday said regarding a Dashwood man:— " The large grist mill owned and oper- ated by Mr. Joseph Eidt, of Linwood, was totally destroyed by fire at an early hour on Friday morning. The loss will be in the neighborhood of $8,000, partly covered by insurance. The cause of the fire is at yet unknown.

A. Slocum, Limited, Toronto. ed watb people to see the procession. The parade was formed at Clark's Hot- el and marched through town as far as the lower flax -mill, where it made the circle and returned to the sporting field. Tbe band led the procession. after which about 300 children from our school, as well as those from the neighboring schools, followed, then came the floats of our business men. Those taking part were Ezra Foist, baker; Albert Morlock and Alonzo Hodgins, blacksmiths; Jacob Boltz- mann, tailor; Francis W. Clark, har- ness -maker; Tbe Bank of Commerce; Harry F. Either, plumber; Fred Harris, painter; the Fire Engine was driven by Wes. Wolf. The different exhibits of our business people were exception- ally good. Some required a great deal of work and were very original in de- sign. The one calitbumplan rig was good if it can be so called. Their Leap Year suggestion was very suitable for the occasion. After the parade the crowd wended their way to the ground, were the Band rendered several lively airs and then the base -ball game commenced between our Stars and the Grey Steads from Duncrief. Our boyedid not play well at all and were defeated by a score of 8-2. In the after -noon the second game took place and they again met their Waterloo, being de- feated by a score of 12-0. The boys are not at alt disheartened. This be- ing the first games of the season and with little or no practice, their defeat is not taken as seriously as if they had been well trained for the fray. After the ball game in the afternoon the sports took place. No sensational re- cords were made but some good work was done. The gate receipts for the day were $118. In the evening the Concert was given in the Town Hall. The Imperial Quartette of London, as- sisted by Mise Kate Elliott of London, gave the entire program. The enter- tainment was a success and the differ- ent selections rendered by the Quar- tette, as well as the solos by Mesare. Pink, Motile and Hicks were a treat to hear. Mies Elliott is an Elocutionist of exceptional ability and she is very good. The Concert receipts amounted to $63. The day, taken as a whole, couldn't have been better and all were well satisfied. The different commit- tees, who had the day's celebration in hand, had a great deal to do but they are well satisfied, knowing that their efforts have been crowned with suc- cess.
