AGNE$ McPHAIL'S VIEWS
The delegate front the _Tuekersmith
U,F.W!•O. had a most 'interesting re-
port from the press meeting in ,Tor-
onto. Miss Agnes McPhail was one
of the principal speakers and one of
her topics was' the, educational sys-
tem. She •states rnost: emphatically
that she is not iii Eaves.' of eoesolidat-
ed schools, Miss McPhail says too
that a great Many of the ,studies
taught in High schools are 'imprac-
tieai.and in after life do /the student
absolutely no good.. In this Miss'
McPhail has strong areguments on
.her side. There are several, com-
puleory subjects on a High school,
Collegiate or'Contirivaeion curriculum
that are utterly useless'' to any stu-
dent once they leave school, utterly
useless, too, while they are at school.
The necessity; of .passing in those
subjects is a bar that keeps many of.
these ;young people behind' in their
work or sometimes the hopeless pros -
poet, of passing in them proves ee
-discoui'agiztg that they drop out. ,.
Then, on the'other hand, it is ar-
gued ,that% etudents between the ages
of 13 and 10 have not always decided
just what course in life they wish to
pursue, For instance, after .some
years some boy er girl pias decide to
take up law. If eo, and they are
without their Creek or Latin --very.
much frowned upon "dead" languages
they would be, ,deeidedly, out of luck.,
All these se -called unnecessary ;sub.
jests go to :form a cultural foundation
rfor.boys and eerie which is a solid es.
set they always have. When people
grow older and get out among their
kine, these things they've learnt 311

‘„DEATH OF 'MRS. LAVIS
On 'Saturday we were `shocked to
hear- that Mrs. L. W„Lavin had died
at her home in. Hullett township. Mrs.
Lavin, had been in very good health,
and so this bereavement was just so
much .harder for • her friends on ac-
count ^ .of 'its' suddenness. The little
baby girl is living. -
,Mrs,, Levis,: who was a daughter
`of Mr. and Mrs. Thornes Shipley,
was born on June 5,; 1883, in Clinton
and lived here until she ; was mar-
riedto L. W. Lavis when they Moved
to Goderich. Mr. and, Mrs. Laves'
lived, in Oshawa and Wingham, re-
turning :to, Clinton' four years ago.
There was a private service at 1.30
on Wednesday afternoon' and the
funeral took place from Ontario St.,
church at 2 pen. The pall bearers
were Messrs. Herold and John Tur
nee, Charles and Doug: Shipley,,
Frank Jenkins and Arthur Groves.
Mrs. Levis' leaves her husband end
ten children, to mourn a belovedwife'
and mother, :also her parents and one
sister, Mrs. Currell_ of town. --
The News-Recordextends its sin-
cerest sympathy to all those who
have suffered this irreparable loss.

SALVATION. ARMY CONCERT
The army held its anneal enter-
tainment in their hall, on Fritley ev-
ening. ' The program consisted of.
songs, reoititions, drills, etc. The
Scouts nut on an exhibition including
hoop -jumping and the human -fan
•spectacle.
/During the program the floor gave
away in the centre. Luckily 00 one
was standing there and there were na
injuries..' By kind consent of the
Mayor, the town hall was thrown o-
pen to the Army and the evening's
fun' finished'. there. •
Santa Claus appeared and gave tee•
final touch to an enjoyable concert.
THE LION TAMERS
Persistent rumors and a' noticeable
stir in' sporting circles promise the.
formation of a new club with luxhr
ious rooms in the centre of the town.
It' is said t1at the members have a-
clopted .the name of "The Lion Tani -
mos Club," Club." Just how approapriate
the name is.. we -cannot, or rather,
dare not, :estimate but • judging from
the personnel of the membership,. we
,'should think it rather a proper title;
we all remember: the story of `."We
Killed the Bear,"
The club we hear, is to be conducted
on peeneeples 'to which the most
straight-laced Gannet take objection.
Mali Jong will not be heard of and
the only use the mernbers will have
for poker will be to stir the fire and
settle minor differences—fir we hear
there are Irish interested. :'Nothing
will be allowed that will not stand the
light of day; there will be no electric
light -so a high potentate is eeport-
ed • to have stated emphatically—
checkers will be the orderof the day.
Good luck to the new club. But

ANNUAL CHRISTMAS TREE
The :annual Christnas.tree of the
Clinton Knitting Company; Lhnited,
was. held on Thursday night in the
clubrooms of the company. The de-
corations of the yooms were both gor-
geous and aytistio and were the work
of Messrs. Morgan, Steepe, and Miss;
Helen Charmer. A program of mus-
ic, b
song given in, elocution and ng g y.
members of the company, and a great
deal of talent was shown. Short ad-
dresses were made by the' president,
H. G. Harper; the vice-president,;
Col. H.• -B. Combe, and the managing
director, A. E: Vincent: These gen
tleinen all expressed their high ap-
preeiation of the splendid spirit of
co-operation and esprit de - corps
which existed' in their establishment.
After the program Santa Claus ap-
peared and took charge of the Christ-
mas' tree. Each employee received
an envelope with a cash present from
the owners of the mill, and hundreds
of splendid Christmas boxes were
distributed from member to member
of the firer. A pleasing feature of
the spirit of good will which exists
in this establishment was the present
of .a choice box of cigars ,o each of
the three owners .sof the mill by its
employees. Supper was 'served to
80 emphoyees,by the girls of the Com-
pany. The rest et the evening was
spent in' dancing, the .lnusie being
supplied by the, company's orchestra,
under the able leadership of. Mr. Dan
THE G I ISTIVZAS DANCE
The most satisfactory end to the
happiest day in the year perhaps was
provided last night by the Pastime
bbys at their annual Chirstnts chance
in the town hall. The dea.oeations were
beautiful, the color scheme of course,
tieing the red and green. De-
pending from the chandelior,.in the
centre of the room to the wall: were
alternate stritls of red and green pa-
per making :a very effective -ceiling,,
The big red bell . *hat '-hung
below the light andthe green hem -
leek trees filling, the windows .were
the finishing touches to one ,of the
prettiest decoratite efforts ever seem
in due town hall. 'Tia color'seherne
