AN ADDRESS Q EDUCATION. On Friday evening. last Mr. A. P. Gundry, Principal. of Galt Collegiate Institute and formerly • of Clinton Collegiate Institute, . addressed the members of the Clinton Club and a number of invited guests on the sub- ject of Educational. Problems of To - ley. Mr. Gundry is well-known for his ability to present his subject in con- cise, forceful, and comprehensive style and his address was much ap- preciated by those , who had the Pleasure of hearing. him. ,• In a few masterfel strokes he de- picted the purposes and aims of the founders of our educational system and showed how the High Schools, or C-rammar -schools were cfriginally founded 'for the purpose of providing a supply of professional men, doc- tors, lawyers, clergymen, and S1111. veyors for thit young and rapidly growing colony. This purpose had dominated the authorities down to the present and gave rise to the complaint so often heard that the whole tendency of the high schools is to turn pupils from industrial av- ocations into professions, which are now perhaps rather overcrowded than insufficiently supplied. The Public school, founded by Dr. Ryerson, was naturally influenced by the pdrpose which the founders of the Grammar schools had chiefly,in view, with the result that they were looked upon as feeders to the high schools, and no effort was made to make them practical and suited to the life occupations of the children attending thein. The Universities had been consid- ered solely as centres of - cultural training and little attention had been given to the development of research, work , which was badly needed in a young country like Can- ada, just beginning to develop her abundant resources. Mr. Gundry dwelt briefly with the problems facing» each of these schools—the public school, high school, and University.. The great- est evil facing the rural public school was the disappearance .of the male teacher and its lack of sympathy with the nractical needs of the far- mer, and a possible solution,of the difficulty 'may be found in the con- solidated school and in making ag- riculture more prominent in the public echoed curriculum for rural schools. With regard to urban pub-. tic schools he thought they were 51 - ling pretty well the part which they were expected to play and his only • recommendation was that the work should be se, organized as to advance` the "entrance age" about two years so that children might attain their matriculation by the time they were sixteen -,the age to Which under the "Adolescent Act," they valet attend school. • Mr. Gundry referred to the work of the committee now revising the course of studies f or High Sclibols. The' plan of this committee, if adopt- ed, will reduce the pressure on pup-. ils, give principals greater freedom in organization, and allow of greater development of vocational studies. Ile advocated the maintenance of at least a fifty per cent. standard in the employment of male i(nd female teachers in the high sehools, that boys might be tinder the direction and control of men during this form- ative period of their lives. In re- gard to the Universities Mr. Gun- dry thought that while the Univers- ities must always be primarily cul- tural in their aims and ideals yet the needs of the Country demanded more attention to the practical prob- lems of Canada today. Fronj this viewpoint he advocated the develop- ment of faculties of commerce, for- estry', mining, agriculture, eng` ing, and m the promotion of reseerth work. He favored the 'establish. mein of post -graduate anuses lead. ing to tho degree of-Dector of Laws, Iso that; our graduates might as far as possible toceivd all their educe.- • tlon at home .inetead of being e001 - pellet' to go to foreign tiniVersities to complete their education, • At the end of his speech the 190 .1, b011.1, at. the club explained the' hernie' appreciation of Mr. Gundry's address and a Hearty lige of thanks' was tendeed in hint on .belitilf of the Club bar the PreSideriti Coloriel Ranee i . .

The rooms were so crowded that it was to dis- pose of the people but an 'excel- lentorogram was put on by tho cler' er ;people of Stanley. If the popular- ity of, the U. F. 0. keeps growing a larger meeting place will have to be procured, especially for social ev- enings. Hullett township members will provide the entertainment for the March Meeting, which will prob- ably be the last social gathering this season. GOT • UP WRONG STAIRS. It is not just settled whether bur- glary was premeditated on the "Mid- way" on Saurday evening or not. Early in the evening Mrs. Betts was upstairs and heard steps coming up the stairs leading to the rooms Oc- cupied by the late Miss Graham but which are now vacant and presently she heard a. hand feeling all ,around the door leading into her own apart- ment, which was fastened. Not find. ing,. the doorhandle the intruder en- deavored ,to levee the door but Mrs. Bette screamed and he called that he thought it was a club room and so got away. No one has been using this stairway since Miss Graham's death but it seems the street door has been left untocked and it is not the first time 'that footsteps have been heard going up the stairs. How- ever, the door is now fastened. It is many years since these apartments were uesd as club rooms and it is unlikely that it was anyone looking for the Pastime club, which is reached by a stairway on Huron street. CLINTON'S STRONG CLAIM. At the January meeting of the Huron County council a deputation from Seeforth, Godetieh and Wing. ham waited upon the council asking that a grant, equal to one mill on the dollar throughout the county, be giv- en for the purpose of equipping hos- pitals in the above three towns, to be divided, half the grant to Goder- ich and half equally divided between Wingham and 'Seaforth. The council didn't pass the neces- sary motion and a committee was ap- pointed to confer with the hospital boards of the county and report at the June meeting. Clinton hospital seems to have been entirely overlooked by, this de- putation but the work of the Clinton hospital was not overlooked by the representatives of Clinton and sur- rounding municipalities. It is felt by a good many people that the hospitals shout( bit .support- ed very much more generously by the counties than they have been In the past, although the Huron Council has shown itself to be inclined to be fairly generous. There are those who are of the opinion that one large, well equipped hospital should be maintained in each aunty and there are others who think that the people are better served by several smaller hospitals at different points. In either case in so far as..Huron coun- ty is concerned Clinton would seem to be the "natural place for a hospit- al. It is the natural centre df the county; it is the junction of two lines of railway and also of two Provincial highways, so is easily approached from east, west, north and south. There is not a point in 'the county so obviously suitable for an institu- tion 'which is intended to serve all the people. Recognizing this fact the Wornens' Patriotic Societies of Clinton and the surrounding country supported by a number of patriotic citizens, decided to re -open the hospital, which had for years served Pell this community but which was closed on Dr. Gunn's departhre to serve in the military hospitals during the war, and it has been operaing fo.r a couple of years and during thatlime hits served many a need and inn/kjustified its exist- ance. It was most conclusively shown, when the matter was under consideration at the county Council meeting, that in se far as serving the needs of citizens of the county outside the town in which it is sit- uated the Clinton hospital compared very favorably indeed with the other two hospitals in the coMity, Goderich and Wingham, Seaforth has not yet made a start toward establishing a hospital but seems willing to do so if the way is made easy. ,Clinton hospital, hoWever, cannot but be included in any grant from the counts, for its work is valuable and.will grow more AO as time goes on, and although no immediate extol, aion is contemplated 11 18 honed that in the net too distent future import- ant extensions will be 'made and many iniprovements -will he intro- duced.

On motion, of Councillors Johnson and ..Lankford the, council went into • committee of the whole ter consider the auditors' report and other busi- mese in connection with assessment. •Reeve Miller took the chair. The letter of Dr. Thompson, read at the regular meeting two weeks prviously, was again read but no ac- tion was talten, The following motions were then passed in committee and confirmed in council: 'That the treasurer be instructed to publish the abstract statement of the auditors' report in one issue • of the two local papers." "That we request 0110 tax collector to use every reasonable means to have all arrears of taxes collected". "That the finance committee ar- range a conference of the assessors of urban municipalities of the Coun- ty of Heron, and the County Judge, together, with Mr. Ludlow of Brant- ford, re assessment for 1921." The chairinan of the financial com- mittee presented a general statemnt of the town's finances. RE ELbCTRIFICATION; At the meeting held in London yesterday the following resolution wait moved by Amiss Tipling, of Wingham, and seconded by A. C. Hodgins, of London township, • re- garding the 'London, Huron & Bruce Railway: "That •the Hydro -Electric Power CommiSsion of Ontario be requested to approach the Dominion Govern- ment with a view of acquiring, leas- ing or securing running rights over what is known as the London, Huron and Bruce line, on behalf of the mun- ieipalities through whieh it operates. "That the commission is also re. quested to supply the municipalities interested with a report showing the estimated cost of the line equipped ready for satisfactory service, to- gether with an estimate of the prob- ablefuture earnings, operating costs, etc., as provided- for in the Radial Railway Act.
