i'WHAT T11EY DID.
Prof. Reynolds helci. the attention
of the combined classes throughout
his lecture of"over an hour and it
was, an hour: of inspiration and in- -
struction, The oceurations of 'house-,
keeping and farming are ones t'liiat re-
quires 'both ;;drinking :and planning,
according to, the' Professor, and',•pee
reason is, and especially 'in the 'ease
Of hopsekeeping; because of the con-
tinuity " 'of ,the Work:,. One of the
great reasons of.'the'labor unrest is'
people get so tiredof 'doing the
„same thing, twee and over again.
-"Sone people seem to have the' idea
"that the purpose of.an'education is'
only to prepare one' to take a''sbf1
•job" said 'Prof. Reynolds. But it
didn't 'work out that way. The atone'
highly trained- a man was and:` the•
greater his es onsibuluties -the more
r p
restricted -his life' became but 'the
morel fitted :he was to serve his; get-
eration, the better citizen he was,
. He spoke ,of the several technical
schools which are being built at great
cost to teach ;people trades."Is :farm--
ing'a trade?" he asked. And: his 'an
saver was that it was not, foe '- a
tradesman works to, pattern' -smile=
thing after a model,'but he gives' lit-
tle thought to the selling. "Farming
is an art and a buisness,",declared
.
Prof. Reynolds, and illustrated this
by showing thata live' stock farmer
had• before his mind :the sort; of a
herd he wanted and he keptabuilding
up that • herd, every year a'.little
nearer his <ideal. Then' he had -to
manage the selling. of Iris' products.
"The business of the `'farmer ''is not
so much to produce in quantity as -to
produce the quality the consumer
wants," the speaker said,' and this he,
thought had more to de ' with the
low prices of agricultural products
than anything else. He maintained
that a product is not fully produced
tu,til it is in the consumers' hands
and he is satisfied with it. : •
Speaking of world conditions Pro-
fessox R'evnolds said that "Indolenge,,
Extravagance and Discontent” seem-
ed to be the spirit of the times. ,This
he believed - was caused, largely' isa'
tAfter• the apemen meeting on•Mon-
dag evening 'Reeve :Miller told the
•anembers of the council, and anyone•
who wished to remain to listen, some-
thing of -the work of'the.county eoun-
Ile said the grant -farthe road op
Victoria street was coming, although-
he' could not give the exact',amount.
He explained that the -council grant
oto;the spring fair" this'year would be
-the same' as .that to -fall fairs, '9100,
and the Hospital -'grants would be the
same as last year, 91,000. In°the 'mat-
ter of Collegiate: grants Reeve Mil-
ler said that a small cut• was: made,
the, amount this year being` $4,000
instead of $4,400.",as ° last year. This
grant last year was divided accord
ing to' the county ;.pupils .aceommo-.
'dated but 'this year,while he. was on
the educational :he was
oyer -ruled' and. the grant—Will be di-
vided equally amongst the Collegiate.
:Institutes and High Schools of the
county. .
Last year Clinton;lienefittea;by the
division at, the grant as we had e
large percentage of county pupils,
this year we shall fare just the;
same asthe others. "There is not'
much encouragement to provide spec-
ial' equipment and specialists on our
staff,.' remarked Mayor Cooper.
"We would ' have 'just as -good a
show' t s
h with . •lesequipment.'" . ,' The
w
matter of.; the accommodation "of
'non-resident pupils came 15 for some
discussion; too: Since -the change in
the statute in 1921' no fees can he
':Barged and it seems Clinton 'Cola,
legiate has not been asking .aid from
the county council for extra expendi-
tare in, regard, to , accommodation:
Mr. Miller was ,requested to confer=
with the"school board about this and:
see what relief was forthcoming. 3;t.
seemed to be the opinion of those
present that ` Clinton.- -ratepayers
should not'haveato' bear, the expense'
of,, educating the pupils of the sue -
