Clinton MODEL sOSLOOL IrOE CLTNToE.—FouT- toen new Model schools wilt be es- tablished throughout the Province. Rather, it would be more accurate to state that fourteen model schools will be re-established. Some years ago the Guthrie Government decided to a- bolish these 'sehools. Since that time there has been a constant agitation for theie re-establishment, particulat•- ly in view of the fact that there was a great scarcity of teachers throughout the Province. Nothing was done up to the present time, the Government very recently announcing their inten- tion to re-establish several of these schools. The official anuouuceureut has been received and the new centres are the following : Appin, Bruce - bridge, Chatham, Clinton, Cornwall, Durham, Guelph, Kingston, Morris burg, Napanee, Orillia, Perth, Ren- frew and North Bay. Clinton will be the centre for Huron, Bence, Perth,. and some sections of Grey counties. No further intimation has been re- ceived, but itis understood that fur- ther schools will be re-established next year. The new centres will be opened by September ready to tante care of the students successful at the AgentWanted' We want agent for Brussels and die - tact' to sell Edmonton City Property and Alberta Farm Lands.

He had eaten his breakfast as renal and was rising from his chair shortly after when he felt to the 'floor the. side of his head 'striking the floor with considerable force and the vital spark fled"very shortly after. Mr.. Crerar was Mothered for years with locotneter ataxia and for years was virtually: helpless but for some time he had been considerably, better but never. entirely regained his old time vigor.

Those were the days of the pioneer, the sturdy men and wonen who by lndestiy, privation, thrift and econo- my did so much in changing the face of the country from dense woods to the cultivated fields. The log shall ty, the ox team, the cry of the wolves, the scanty settlement and the lnug tramps for provision, et c., were all on the program of Dir, and Mrs. Sperian but they emerged from these now long past years like well refined gold, true to the last.

Mr. Speiran, although not a robust looking eau, had enjoyed a fair degree of good health with the later' years and dur- ing the past 12 months had been ill a good part of the, time. In his earlier' life he was a mail of no small activi- ty, genial and kindly, it ggreat lover of his home and loyal to the Methodist church.

W..M S. ••W LONDON CONFERENCE Annual meeting of the Listowel Dairymen's exchange was held of Friday afternoon, May 19th. Officers elected for 1911 :— President, Isaac Askin ; Vice -President, R. H. Chem- ney ; ec.-Treas., T. H. Kay ; Direct- ors, Messrs. Fraser, Muir. T. Ballan- tyne, 1leCom t and Rothwell. Secre- tary -Treasurer <easurer t e olted fltat oes iu best shape for a number of years and a good surplus on hand, The question of paymentbeing made at the car for all cheese shipped was discussed pretty thoroughly. The salesman favored it becausea they Las the most business -like i L thou ht w g method and because their patrons were anxious for it. Buyers expressed themselves as against the system, claiming that it• would be an inconvenience and hard- ship to them and probably entail ad- ditional expense which of course would ultimately come out of the tarnducer. Question was discussed reely and frankly by both buyers and salesmen and the desire on both sides seemed to be in favor of doing what was right and fair t'r r the interests of the dairy industry. A point made by the buyers Which seemed to count was that in over 30 years business there had been only one•eese in which the shipper had lost the value of his cheese and that occurred last year. This they thought was' a splendid re- cord and one which they doubted was equalled by any ether business in the country, A gond deal of time was spent without arriving at a definite conclusion of the matter, though the discussion was of much benefit as showing each side the viewpoint of the other. A compromise maim' was carried appointing the President., Secretary and S. S. Rothwell as a committee to investigate and report to the Board on the financial standing of all buyers applying for membership in the ListowelExchangeand this re- port to be filed Leith Secretary for ref- erence.
