TO the Warden and Members of'. The Hilton Conuty Coufl�cih , Gentlemen: -I beg to sutarntt here with as provileed by Statute the report of my observations of the con4ttlons of the Public Schools of Gast Huron for the year 1924, Yours respeetfufly, John M. Field inspector of Schools, E. Huron There were84 rural schools open, of which 4 have two rooms;. there are 3 village schools of 9 rooms true three down schools of 23 rooms. Altogether there ere 121 teachers, of whom a hold First Class Certificates,, t14 Second Class Certificates and one a Kindergarten Director's 'Certificate. Fifteen teaohers are men and 114 arc women. There was no scarcity of leachers In the fall term—in fact, .there were many without employment. This Condition will continue in an 'norm- ing degree In the term beginning in September. As a consequence It 9s not likely that the Normal term will be lengthened butt that' the qualifica- tions will be higher. Only three teachers left their schools at the year's end—all to be married. A new school was built at Walton to accommodate the Junior classes; it is well built, bright and comfortable. It is intended to build a new schoel in S. S. No. 9, Grey Twp., and a three- room addition to the Fordwich Public School to accommodate the Continua- tion School classes who for the past two years have been occupying the basement of one of the churches. It night interest you if I made the following survey of the rural school buildings of this Inspectorate:— In nspectorate;In Grey Township there are 6 good buildings, 2 fair and 5 poor; in How - Ick 8 are good, 6 are fair and 3 are poor; in Hutlett 5 are good, one is fair and 6 are poor; in McKillop 5 are good, 2 are fair and 3 are poor; in Morris 8 are good, 2 are fair and 2 are poor; in Tuckersmlt'h 8 are good and 2 are hardly fair; in Turnberry 4 are good, 3 are fair and 3 are poor. A peculiar condition is that some of 4be poorest are side by side with the !best; they receive as much in grants from the township and government, but the: children do not benefit in like manner. The urban schools have all brought their accommodations to a high stan- dard of comfort and appearance. The total Government grants to the Public Schools of this inspectorate for 1924 amounted to $29801.36; the County provided $1005.25 as their share of the equipment and accommo- dation grant; the townships are re- quired by statute to. raise by a general rate $600 per school of one teacher and $1000 when there are two teach- ers; this general levy is for the purpose of egualizing the expenditure per school over the township—the strong help the weak. The remaining ex- penditure is provided by special taxes. It will thus be seen that considerably more than half of the rural school ex- penditure is provided by the statute. The (totalf costa maintenance of all the public schools of East Huron, which includes salaries and upkeep but not capital expenditure for the past year was $155,723,06. The average at- tendance of these schools was 2943; on that basis the cost is $62.50 per pupil; onthe basis of possible attend- ance, that is had the pupils attended every day so as to bring the average to its possible limit, the cost would !have been $53.15 per pupil. On the same calculetiansi for rural sichools only the costs are $74 and $62.25 re- spectively. It will thus be seen that while the costs of the individual rural schools are high, in exceptional reach - egg $250 per pupil, It is too well knownthat controllable expenses, Su«h as equipment and general improve- ments are in many cases cut to the bone. The cause then must be due to the faulty organization of •the school system. A remedy was presented in Consolidated Schools, these have not met with the reponse expected and they have been for the present passed by. Township or County Boads offer another solution; it seems to me that under such an organization there would be re -organized school sections, more vnlformly good school buildings, ac commodations, equipment and grounds and a more careful choice of teachers. The value of the rural school iia- braries is $4161, of which $410 was added to this year. The Continuation and High Schools again maintained thei high standard In attendance and results. The Teachers' Institute was held in the Veterans' Rooms, ea Seaforth and the meetings were highly successful, All the schools were visited twice during the year. Zeph, Balfour, Mitchell, had a slight stroke of paralysis, Norman Mot3onald, Mitchell, ie at Hamilton taking a course in piano and organ tuning. There was considerable excitement among the citizens of Tobermory when it became known that the ice bad broken . away from the shore about a toile from land and that a number of men and boys who had been flshing on the ice were in danger. Alt reached the shore in safety but two young men, William Ranabury and . Colin Martin, were too far out to get to shore before the break -away came. No time was to be lost. A number of the men ran to the village for a boat, Alex. Young and Oradea Golden volunteered to go out to res- cue the boys, who by this time ;were half a mile from the shore on a cake of ice, It was no easy task to reach them, When rescued they were Bold and wet, but no serious conaequeuces are anticipated. Several bobbing out. fits were lost in the excitement, At Town 1Jall, Brussels, February 117th and 18th ,-,.

After the reading of minutes and dealing with other routine business matters brought up by the secretary, A. Doupe. of Kirkton, who was re- elected, there was a general discussion of matters which will be brought be- fore the meeting or the Ontario As - Boob, Hon. s-soeietion. All the topics received careful consideration and the result, was that a number• of mutters will be presented including the following • A protest against the allowing of sub organizations within the district, the societies belonging to which fail to take a proper part in the aff ries of their (Ikedet and interfere with dates for shows and other mattere- A recommendation that the gov- eeneneut be urged to increase the grant to agricultural societies by $25,000.

Theta was some discussion about de- partmentill judges arid several of the delegates had harsh criticism to offer telling of incompetency and drunken- ness among other things. 1t was the expreesed opinion that the men should be chosen with more care and better supervision exercised over there, Several other matters of interest were discussed briefly, race standards, printing of prize Bets, admission and entry fees and matters of interior en- onamy of the societies.

The following is an extract of a tete ter written by Rev, (3edrge Spatting, B. A. of Chungking, China, and pub- lished in the Christian Guardian :— You will he interested in knowing that Mr. Liu Tze Ru arrived here safely, I have had a couple of conver- sations with him and I find that he is exceedingly well pleased with his trip Itis journey through the Holy Land was ail that he hoped it would be, and his journey through Europe was also very gratifying, And then he cannot say enough about how }veli he wan used in Canada. I know he will never forget it, and has already been telling the Chinese Christians about it all, He was away front Chungking just seven months and a half, and be cep. taitily saw a great deal in that titne, Arrangements are already mode for a mase meeting of the Christians of all the chnrohee i t Chungking to be held .next Sunday afternoon, at which he will give an account of his journey. But, he will not he able to -give a com- plete repos t at one meeting ; this will be only the fleet, and we hope that he will be able t0 favor us quite frequernt- ly. I ata anxious that he should al tend our Conference -thio year; and have al- ready asked him to plan for it ; to which he has replied that he thinks that it is bis duly to go if (lemm- ata/meg will permit. I would like to see him give a detailed report of his impressions of the Meeting 0f the General Board of Missions as well as of the state of t he Canadian Chun ch in genet al Our Christian penple seethed to heve the idea that there was an endless supply of funds avail- able to the mission, but from what I hear him say I think he bas received a more accur,te impression than that. T think if he can attend the Confer-, ence of our own Church and also the larger Conference of all the chinches in West Ohina, great good may re- sult ftorrr what he has to eau. Be has already said That he inleeds to be more earnest than ever in his service of God and the Church. There is no drub• that his trip has been a successful nue. I was interested in learning that ha had secured a bell for nur church here. To -morrow, at noon, Mr, Lui is to lunch in our home, when all our mla- sionarien who live in the city will be present, and we will all have an op, portunity of hearing him and asking hire questions about his tour. Just a word about another matter : During the past month several of the daily papers in this city have had articles about Christianity and the Church. The general tenor of them is that the Church is not what it. claims 10 be, but is rather the agent of Imperial Governrriente sent here for the purpose of propagating imperial- ism. We think we can trace, behind it all, Bolshevistic influence, but I have heard several say that they believe that it will all yet work nut "to the furtherance of the Gospel," as we are receiving a great deals of publicity ; some paper's going so far as to quote Scripture in favor of their arguments. Truly our work le advancing, its in• fluence is deepening, ami we are rapidly entering upon new phases of mission wink.
