Inspector Field's Report
on E. H. Punk Schools
To the Warden and Members of the
' Huron County Council:
Centlienen,-I have the honor to
seienit the following report of the
condition of the schools of East Hur-
on for the year ending December 31,
1925:
With the opening of schools in
september the supply of teachers
iderebly in excess of the demand
where vaeancies were titlwirtised in
papers with a provincial circulation
secretarios often received applicat-
ions in excess of a hundred. The
large number of teachers without
empinyinent is due to financial condi-
dons, to the high initial salaries
which thc: supplementary grants of
recent years have made it advantag.
eous for trustees to pay and to the
greater ease tar-1th which academaical
qualifications may be obtained, ow-
ing to the privilege candidates have
of writing off one or more subjeets
at a time,
There were fewer changes at
summer than in previous years; there
were only 21 in the rural schools and
4 in the urban schools; this is a con-
dition which we can view with much
satisfaction.
On account of the few changes,
salaries have changed but little; one
school is, however, paying as low as
$650 and some new teachers are get-
ting only $800. It is to be hoped that
a fair salary may be maintained,
otherwise we shall fall back into the
unsitisfaetory condition of scarcity
that prevailed a few years back.
In the rural schools there are only
6 teachers with first class certificates
and only one in the urban schools.
It is regrettable that trustees how
little preference for teachers with a
higher certificate in spite of the lact
that the :ossession of it indicates
greater ability and sacrifice.
There are 20 male teachers in the
rural schools and four in the urban
schools; this is an increase over that
of others years.
There was considerable building
activity in 1925. New schools were
built in S. S. No, 10, Hullett; No. 2
McKillop, No. 9, Grey and a two
roored addition to the Fordwich pub-
lic school to accommodate the classes
for the continuation school; they are
all substantially built, of good ap-
pearance and modern appointments.
The school in S. S. No. 5, Grey was
remodelled, the lighting was changed
and other improvements were made.
Other schools made such repairs end
improvements as their condition re-
quired, but not worth special men-
tion. Altogether this year's work in
this respect was most encouraging.
School Fairs were held at Ethel,
Fordwich, Wroxeter, Bluevale, Wal-
ton, Clinton and Dublin; besides the
urban fall fairs had rural school fea-
tures. 'There is noticeable a marked
improvement in the quality of the ex-
hibits and a greater spirit of fair
play than,in the earlier days:
This is a county in which it is
rarelynecessary to enforce attend-
ance; parents are, as a rule, eager to
get for their children the best edu-
cation that their circumstances will
permit. Where there is evasion 14 is
often difficult to remedy, as children
cake little or no progress, where the
Act is barely enforced and attend-
ance is consequently irregular. The
Act might be made more effective if
pupils were required to attend school
si certain number of days after reach
ing the age of seven or eight.
A meeting of trustees and rate-
payers was held in Clinton in May,
The chief topic of the meeting was
the proposed legislation to establish
township boards. They cante pre-
judiced against it. Many suspected
that it was a back -door means of
bringing about consolidation.
New text books in spelling and
hygiene and revised editions of the
turd and fourth readers were auth-
orized this term and were favorably
received by the teachers.
The total Governinent,grants to
East Huron for the year ending
June 29th, 1925, amounted to $28,-
-873,96, not including the Fifth Class
or High School grants. The county

Other matters which came in for

JOHN M. FIELD,
Ask Government for
Higher Type Judges
District Fairs Association Flays In-
competency of Present Adjudica-
tors -Better Financial Support for
Agricultural Pursuits Also Sought.
Stratford Beacon -Herald) •
Meeting in the city of Stratford on
the eve of their departure for Toron-
to to attend the opening of the On-
tario Fair association's annual meet,
and the good roads' convention, dele-
gates of Number 8 district of the
fair boards of the counties of Perth,
Huron, Lanffiton and Oxford during
a two-hour discussion badly flayed
the incompetency of the present de-
partmental live stock judges.
Some 30 representatives of the
four counties were present at the
meeting held in the Chamber of Com-
merce on Tuesday afternoon, with
James Stevens, of Science Hill in the
their.
The meeting was practically unani
mous in decnying the methods em-
ployed by government adjuducators
and the department:11 live stock
judge ,of today was described by
more than one delegate as a "curse
to the fairs," and that leading cattle-
men would not show where depart-
mental judges were going to be pre-
sent. A resolution that soon proved
its popularity by a mianiinous vote
was therefore passed urging the sel-
ection by the government of a better
class of judge, preferably men who
had attenFled a' standard college al
agriculture and had become certifi-
cated. This subject, the main one of
many others, was freely attaeleed on
all sides, and a lone champion was
found in J. Green, delegate from
Mount Brydges, who defended the
departmental judge. The adjuduca-
tors, he stated, secured by the dis-
trict covering a period Of four years
were men of high calibre, fully' com-
petent to judge, giving the best pos-
sible satisfaction. So long as they
did that, he remarked, his fair board
would continue to employ them.
Better Financial Support
A second resolution to be present-
ed at the Toronto convention is that
urging the government to give more
generous financial, support to the ag-
ricultural pursuits of Ontario. tt
was represented that for the size of
the province and the importance of
its :farm life, the annual grant of
$75,000 made by the government was
a pittance. An increased antount
will he asked for an $25,000 was
mentioned as a likely sum. This
would bring the annual contribution
front the proviacial treasury up to
$110,000, a sum of $10,000 included
in this amount being set aside for
lain insurance.
Still in a fighting mood the farmer
delegates attacked the "inside" poli-
cy of their -own assoeiation in env-
ing that discrimination was shown to
resolutions which had been annually
pigeon -holed in Termite by the "au-
toeratic power." in possession there,
Year after year, members remarked
resolution after resolution was ham -
ed. at district meetings, as a direct
method of obtaining efficient legisla-
tion, which on being left in the hands
of the resolution committee at Tor -
otter were side-tracked into oblivion.

portance to the 'ffistriet fair boards

Asks Support of Campaign
1Id.0. McPhail, representative of
the Ontario Department of Agrieul-
ture, prior to the close .of the meet-
ing, addressed the delegates relative
to the alfalfa campaign which will
PI projectedthroughout the pr.)-
vince during the Current year. Strass--
ing the importance of alfalfa as a
cattle feed, Mr. McPhail stated. that
Perth County had been selected as a
cOncentration field for the campaign.
This had been tle.imed advisable for
two reasons, one being the small a-
mount of alfiCifa at present being
grown in the euunty, which a.veragod
only five per cent, and the second,
that it was considered that by open-
ing up large acreages of alfalfa in
the county the increased growing
would help eradicate the sow thlitle
and Canadian thistle pest that was
prevalent.
''The time has arrived," continued
the government reprcisentative, when
