why they were not. It was felt by, other
nieonbers that these libraries might ` not
be up to the required 'standard. Reeve-
Bowman said that when the grant was
made to libraries it was not meant, so
much for the urban centres but rather
to encourage the smaller libraries to
achieve a higher grading.

Deputy Turner asked what extra allow -

ed that the mother gets the same allow-
ance as if the father were dead. "It Is
any contention that it should be more
than that because the father has to be
kept too," replied Mr. Turner. Mr.
Cooper said- than it was to be re-
membered that the Act was meant more
for the benefit of the children than any-
one else.

who advised them on a 6numben of

Mr. Hume thanked the council and
wished`". them success,
When. they so desired. Reeve Oavidson
declared that no clerk could give out
that information and that 1t was com-
pulsory to send it to Toronto. 1i maj-
ority of the council thought that the
clause should be struck out.
The education committee's report was
considered with Reeve Peter Scott act-
ing as chairman. It was passed as read.
Reeve Archibald, chairman of . the com-
mittee, spoke at some length on the im-
portance of the educational system. He
declared himself a strong believer in the
teaching of agriculture in the public
sohools. "We are not being fair with
our boys who are -remaining on farms,"
he said. "Agriculture is the mainstay
of our country. :'We should endeavor to
raise the standard of our public schools."
Mr. Archibald said that school boards
could just as well -"`pay sum as $450 to
their teachers, "With our urban centres
paying high salaries we cannot hold our
teachers: I would urge the members of
this council to look after the interests of
our boys and girls. Give the teachers
the full benefit , of the government
_grants.!Our --youung--peop1e. -.•are. leaving

added. 0'
Reeve Elliott said that he could not
see the point in the comparison between
the salaries of ,rural and urban school
teachers. "The matter largely depends
upon the trustees of the school sections.

Mr. Alex. Young, a former warden ,of
the county. addressed the council for a
-short .: tune ' Mr. Young, an 'octogenar-
ian. stated that he had first entered the
_ council in „1893 .as reeve of - Colborne
Township. There were more in the
council at that .time, he declared, be-
cause there were more deputy_reeves in-
(the
nthe municipalities. He expressed disap-
' l , , v+a1 of the council members smoking
during the sessions, as there might be

dtsagreaeble, and that' they had to en-
dure it nevertheless. a
Reeve Cardiff explained-' that a few
years ago there. were two men hi the
council who smoked all the time and. se
the bylaw had been passed to allow
smoking during- the sessions in order to
bring these offend re within the law.
The following notions 'were dealt
with:

their efficiency and the help they had
given him. "They are well worthy of

Reeve Matheson felt that this was
one of the real pleasures of representing,
a municipality. "We have `passed

unrest in 'the world :but I see a brighter
