Letter To The Editor June 5111, 1937 Editor Brussels Post, Brussels Ont. Dear Sir: I have noted with interest a para- graph in a recent issue of the Post describing several old bibles owned in Brussels and Grey. 'While eighteenth and early nineteenth century bible are not common items they are by no means rare. Still Brussels' is fortunate to have these two fine Keens. Another Old Bible There in in my possession a bible that shades the two Brussels items considerably so far as age is con- cerned. The bible I refer to was printed in Oxford, England, in 1638 which makes it a mere 252 years old, or 105 years older than the old- est Brussel bible, This Cede men is a pulpit bible measuring 17 inches ip height, 4t/4 inches in thickness and 11 inches la width, The Ilustrated frontispiece, whose authentity is unquestionable but which may have been inserted in the bible carries the legand "Oxford Printed 01 the Theatre 1685," The covers on this specimen not the originalut bthey too are censider- ably antiquated. An interesting feature about this bible is that on close inspection several pages show evidences of leaving been Mashed at the edgee with a sharp knife, This 15sue; gestive of the story the book might telt On the whole however it is in a good state of preservathni. The first King James, or author- ieed version or tbe bible came cut about 1611 la Englanand this bible which I have described all - peered only 74 years later. It eontains the Old and New Testi: Meats, the books of the ADoeryphet and also an interesting "Table of Kindred and Affinity, whereto. whoever are related are forbidden In scripture and our laws to marry together." I trust Ithat somewhere about Brusselp there is an even, older - interesting to hear about it, r 621 Euclid Ave„ TOronte, Ont, Yourso, otrultilw,otild ba '‘'1,7•;" Belgrave Man President of Association R. H. Thompson Heade Huron Edu- cational Body At Brussels • Meeting DISCUSS NE WsYSTEM • Trustees and ratepayers inet in the Public Libraey Hae, Bruesele, for the 12th annual meeting of the Huron County EduJetental Associa- tion, About 100 were in attend, tune. R. H. Thompeon presided, He introduced Reeve 11, J. Bow- man of Brussels, wee extended a cordial civic welcome. John Hartley, reeeelle appointed inspeetor for East Huron, itt his address, drew a striking 'contrast between the schools of fifty years ago and those of to -day. He pic- tured the school which he attended as a boy, 'which had been poorly erected, was cola and comfortlesa, the walls cracked, the lightiug poor, the water from the well not good, the seats hand -made from straight boards while the teacher was as good as the. average, The modern school is comfortable well -lighted with basement and Ewe nace, Water -flush toilets, drinking water in the school, good black, boards in fact has everything that will contribute to the comfort of both teacher and pupils. The re. stat is that, with the better -quali- fied teachers of to -day, children have better opportunities for re- ceiving instruction and are more Proficient in spelling, history, art, meek, etc., receive medical and dental inspection and, as B. rule, Pass the entrance from a year to, two years younger. 10, C. Beacom, I.P.S. for West Huron, dealt fully with the pro, posed changes in the curriculum, -which were long over -due, as edu- cation must keep pace with mod- ern times. He called attention to the fact that the classification of the work will be henceforth known as grades, instead of classes. There are to be eight grades instead of seven. Theer will be less formal teaching and the children will do more far theanselves. Greater ene, Phasis will be laid on health, and tbe study of English wili receivs greater stress. There will be two new readers for grades 5 and 6 (Sr. and Jr. III) and two or fourtli book classes. School libraries are to be built up, so that there may be more supplementary reading. He showed a diploma which may be earned by a boy or girl Wal* reads et least 20 books, Plan New Tests Less time is to be devoted to arithmetic especially in the lower • grades with new arithmetic testa. History and geography are to be. more closely co -related in teaching The teaching of music will be le - creased. He spoke of the Huron County musical festival in which 58 schools participated and he which much interest was manifeet- ed. Twenty-three new claSees itt music have been started since Sep- tember, Changes in the ;lest two years of High School courses are 10 be made, when manual training, household science, agriculture, ang. music are to be part of the course.

Better °dace - tion was ueged for the farm pepu- la.tion and the Department or Edu- cation ie willing to co-operate lit providing anything reasonable.
