Clinton Thinks Figures Adopted by Educational Associa- tion Too Low A large and representative gather- ing of the teachers of the county met in the Model School at Clinton recent- ly to discuss the schedule of salaries adopted by the salaries committee of the Ontario Educational Association. After considerable adverse criticism it was finally decided to adopt it, though it was considered altogether too low and inadequate at the present tune on account of the enchanced price of ail the necessaries of life. Ml present felt that no leacher should have to teich`for less than $800 a year for, beginners, increasing to 51,000 after one or two years' exper- ience. Unless a substantial increase is forthcoming, many teachers stated they would be forced to leave the profession or at least transfer to the better paid' positions.

Sir John Willison certainly receive>fl a warm reception on Itis appearance in Clinton on Tuesday evening. The wee,- thermen turned on all the heat possible and for that, the audience was small The speaker was introduced by Mss. W, i3rydone, who welcomed Sir JOU home, on behalf of the Board of Trad'x;. In his opening remarks Sir John stated that it was a 'peculiar privilege 10 come to Clinton—it was like conliag home after a long absence,—store years than he liked- to remember. He told several stories of his early life on Use Parr line, boundary of Hay and Stanley townships where he was born and re- called the day when he walked 14 miles to Clinton and back again to get at dollar's worth of yellow back novels: He remarked that Huron a good was county to live in and in his travels he Canada and United States always met some one who came from Huron wino" were holding places of trust in chefs various communities. His subject was "New Conditions and New Problems." in which the speab: er gave a. forceful summing up of coa*- ditions which must be considered in connection with reconstruction. Ile: emphasized the statement that the pro- blems of reconstruction were only sec - and in their difficulty to the prob ems of the war, and that If they were Paced with the sane spirit of determination, and unity as were those of the war„ they would be solved with equal salt• isfaction, The soldiers had finished their Rile and other jobs must be provided for then. They were coining back not for charity but in vigor and strength, not to lower but to elevate the nationn5 standard. The speaker drew attention to the sums that would be expended by the Government in various ,forms oft work, and advanced .the idea 't]zat lit was time more was done to develop the natural resources of the country. Old prejudices and theories should be forgotten, he said. If the same scien- tific methods were applied to the de- velopment of the natural resources 52 have been applied to agriculture, the results would be of vast importance to the financial standing of the nation. He advocated a family relationship be- tween capital and labor, and a consid- eration of the problems of interest tis both with sympathy and patience. On motion of Mr. J. W. Treleaven and Mr. 'C. D. Bouck a hearty vote of thanks was tendered the speaker.
