The- Sod -Buster Concert Company, a group of young 0. A. C. :men all of whom saw service overseas, gave a playlet and concert in the town hall on Tuesday evening.

There was a good house. After the entertainment the orchestra played for dancing and a number stayed and tripped the light fantastic for some time.

MODEL SCHOOL OPENS. The Model school opened on Tues- day morning' with Mr, C. D. Houck in charge, six students present and more coming, The Department of Education was about to withdraw the Model school from this point this year but as the board had not received the notifica- tion which was supposed to have been sent it six months ago arrangements were made for the fall terns for the holding of such a school and on the board taking the matter up with the Department it was allowed to go on. The class this year is likely to be larger than it has been for some years and as this is the only Model school in Western Ontario it is like- ly to be retained.

Livermore Wins Edward Blare Scholarship in General Proficiency Out of Thirteen Taking Honor Standing in Lower School Exams. in Huron, Seven are C. 1. Students. Important changes in the course of studies, examinations, and organiza- tion of the I•Iigh School are ]Wade by the Department of 'Education under the now • regulations, which become effective with the opening of the school term, September the sixth. The object in view is to relieve the pressure upon students, which has been a cause of complaint ler many years, to allow more bine for pnys- ieal and moral training, aml to per- mit a more equal division of the work in the high school course. Gradua- tion diplomas will be awarded to students who take the general course but do not wish to teach or enter any of the learned professions, These di- plomas will be awarded by the De- partment of Education to students who pass on twelve departmental papers, six of which: must be on Mid- dle or Upper School work. These of course will be taken at any time during the students' course and as he is prepared for then, it is expected that in time this diploma will be re- cognized by the business world as of the sante value as the Junior Matriculation certificate which is now demanded by many of the larger business concerns as a condition of employment on their stales. The course for teachers as before will be taken in three parts, the Lower school, Middle school, and Up- per school, but with important mod- ifications. The lower school course is limited to eight subjects, which are: Arithmetic Grammar, Art, Geography, Botany, Zoology, Cana- dian History, Physiography. AgricuI- ture and horticulture may be substi- tuted for Botany and Zoology. The pass standard is fifty per cent. on each paper and students vill be cred- ited with ss many papers as they pase in at any examination. Prev- iously students had to pass 111the whole examination at one time. The practical effects of this change will be that students will write on four of the required subjects at the end of the first year and discontinue them, insead of carrying the whole eight to the ends of the second year. The subjects to be taken in each year will be prescribed by the Principal with the approval of the Collegiate Institute Board. The subjects of the middle school course for entrance to Normal (se- cond class) are English (Literature and Composition), Algebra, Geome- try, Physics, Chemistry, British His- tory, and Ancient History. The only change here will be that Canadian History will not be re- quired. The Upper School Course for ad- mission to Normal Schools for a first class certificate has been reduced so as to make it a one year's course in- stead of two as at present. The sub- jects are English Literature and Composition, History, any two of Algebra, Geometry, and Trigometry, and two of Latin, Greek, French, Ger- man, Spanish, Biology (Botany 011(1 Zoology), Physics and Chemistry (for either of which the third mathemat- ical subject may be substituted. In all the examinations set by the Department of Education, the pass standard will be fifty per cent. and the candidate will be credited with ail papers in which he passes. The requirements eat s for Matriculation into the University, pass and honour, are unchanged. For the present the school will be so organized as to allow students who entoerd under the old system to write off their whole examinations art once in 1922 and 1923, • Another change in conditions will be made as it result of an amend- ment to the High School Act, 7.02.L, Fees for resident and Comity pupils have been abolished and the high school dowse as well es the public school course will henceforth be free. Summary of Examination Results 1921 'Lite results of all tine Departmental and University examinations for 1921 stave been atlnetnrced and Clinton Col- legiate Institute has had one of the moat successful years in its history. The Lower School class was the largest in the record of the 501100l. Fifty candidates wrote or, this ex- amination and of these thirty-six passed, seven with honours (76 per cent. or over), fourteen secured par- tial standing, and Otte failed. As only thirteeh1 candidates in the whole comity of Huron secured honour standing, the showing of Clinton Cot- elgiate Institute in this examination is creditable both to the candidates and to the staff which prapeee51 theist. The results of the Middle School examination wore no less gratifying, Twenty-six candidates wrote 011 the Entrance to Normal for second class ,ra to ch n t certificates. . c n Cfte1 es twat.e tv Passed the ft111 examinatioe (four with ho)odrs), and six obtaieed pat• Mal standing, There were fourteen ciiiit1 clatos,for Jtnior Matriculation of whose telt passer tate full examination and four 'marred partial matriou,otion, two of these passing in all but one sub- ject. - in the Upper School Examination for entrance into the Normal School for first class certificates three passed the full examination and five secured partied e standing. Four candidates for honour Matriculation succeeded in securing honour standing in various departments. In the Honour Schol- arship Matriculation exaninatioll the record of Mr. Ernest S. Livermore was one of the most brilliant, In this examination there were eighty-four candidates in the Province—picked scholar's from the largest and best schools. Mr. Livermore won the First Edward Blake Scholarship for general proficiency, ranking third in his group (Classics option). He also ranked eighth in group 2 (Moderns option) and ranked third for the scholarship in the double department of Classics and Moderns. He ranked fourth for the First Mary Muloek Scholarship in Classics and third for the Second Edward Blalce scholar - sip in Moderns. IIis standing by classes was First Class honours in Classics (4) and First Class honours in Moderns (6). The spendid achievement of Mr. Livermore shows that he is one of the best students in the Province and we predict for him a brilliant career in the University of Toronto which he intends to enter in October. The Staff of Clinton Collegiate In- stitute for 1921-2 Owing to the resignation of some of the teachers of the past year, which was made necessary in order to comply with the regulations of the Department of Education, the staff for the coming year has been reor- ganized, The Collegiate Institute Board has spared no effort to secure the most efficient staff possible and feel that they have been successful in their efforts.
