MISSIONARY BANQUET.
EXCELLENT ADDRESSES
Dr. Chowen, Gen. Superintendent
and Mr. G. M. Stanley Deliver
Strong Appeals for Missions h*
Ontario St. Church. Last Friday evening the,Union Men's
Missionary Banquet of Wesley and011t-
aria Street Churches was held in the
latter church and alirrge nuniber of
the laymen of both congregations gath-
erect, to enjoy the excellent sUpPer pro-
vided by the Joint Missionary Societies
of both Churches.
Following the Banquet an adjourn-
ment *as made to auditorium when two
excellent addresses were delivered.
Rev. S. Anderson,, Pastor of Ontario
Streeet Church had charge of the meet-
' hag. A prayer was offered by Rev. D.
14. McCanaus. A union Choir sang the
web known anthem "Son of My Soul."
Dr. Chowen, General Superintendent
of the Methodist Church was the first
speaker and after a few . introductory
remarks took as his subject "Mission
Work in the Orient" and for nearly an
hour, told of his recent visit to Japan
and 'Chip and the wonderful work be-
ing performed by Hie few missionaries
there.
During his address on Japan he made
the statement that 98% of children of

Assessors from Towns and Vil-
lages of Huron County — The
Question of Parking Cars at
Open Evening at
the Clinton Club
A.. P. Gundry, of Galt, Former
C. C. I. Principe Gave a Spien-
did Address on lEducation and
Its Problems,
Last FrItts(y evening was en open
night at the Clinton Club, wben each
member had. the privilege of inviting •
a guest, There were o Koodly' number
present when the President, Col. Rance
Introduced The speaker for the even-
ing, Mr. A, P. Gendry, now of Galt,
but formerly a Clintonian. •
Mr. Gundry gave a most ritteresting
and Instructive ' address upor0,the large
subject of Education, dealini chiefly,
with Some of the problems ii this re-
gard; which confront us toditi,.
and complex, if not almost dssoluble.
He informed his hearers that these were
all receiving attention at the hands of
those in authority, and he entertained
hopes that before long some remedies
would be applied, .
He deplored somewhat the gradually
Increasing number of women teachers,
and the corresponding decreasing num-
ber of men. He spoke most highly of
women's ability in this profession, but
painted out the advisability of at least
50% of male teachers. A boy front is
to 16 years of age should not be,;•wholly
under women's guidance. They can-
not take part in his outdoor recreation,
and they are by nature handicapped in'
the work of transforming the boy into
the 171511. It would be as adverse .10
nature to place girls from ii to 56
years of age wholly under' the guid-
ance of a man, The speaker dwelt at
some length on technical teaching, a
word, like the word temperance, a good
deal misused today, for in this con-
nection it means "trade".
The , curriculum is thought to be
spread over too wide a field, •and, not
only so, but subjects are taught today
that should be replaced by those Of a
more practical nature. Agriculture as
the basic industry of Canada ought cer-
tainly to receive far more attention than
it does.
The speaker was well applauded, and
gracefully thanked in a motion, moved
by J. W. Treleaven and seconded by
Col. H. 13. Combe. The gallant Colonel
in a seemingly would-be humouraus
manner, took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to display his knowledge of
cattle breeding, which we might remark
is evidently not quite on a par with his
111111551y acquirements., -
Short "speeches from W. J. Andrews,
W. Brydone, Rev. S. E. McKegney com-
pleted the labour portion of the even-
ing and led to the serving of light re-
freshments: We understand there are
to be several such evenings held this
winter.
