WARM WATER—NO ICE._
For days the managers of the mvv
rink tried to get ice, but in vain, a
strip across the centre refeising to
form. At last it dawned npon them
to dig down and investigate when
they found a drain from the knitting
mill through which waren water was
running. When the matter was
brought to the attention of Manager
Libby of the Knitting Company he
at once put. men at work and so
changed the course of the drain that
it passes by not under the rink.

CLINTON'S WEIGHTY, COUNCIL.
Never before perhaps in the history
of Clinton has so "hefty" a council
sat around its civic board as the one
selected by the ratepayers to preside
over the destinies. of the town -• dur-
ing this year of grace. The aver-
age weight per member is 209
pounds, making a total of 1072; Five
of the members actually, weigh over
two hundred pounds, only three being
below that weight, and the lightest
tips the scale at over 180. Clinton
might be excused for expecting to
see some pretty heavy work under-
taken and successfully Tarried

A
nomination night by Dr. Thompson
that by maintaining the Model school
in connection with the Public school
here there is a financial loss: I wisl+
to take this opportunity, as time
was not allowed me on nomination
evening to make a fall statement of
the facts , to show' that -tire above
statement is erroneous and also to
show the exact condition of affairs.
In June of 1913 the Board entered
into a written contract with the De-
pertinent of Education whereby the ,
Department agreed to pay to the
Board the -sure of $1000 on condition
that they pay to the principal of
the Model school the mini -num
salary of $1800 and the De)
partment also agrees to pay the sum

Government grants or of grants to
teachers on the basis of qualifiea-
tion. They are grants given solely to'
those ,taking part in Model school
work.
Now in view o' the above condi-
tions how would natters stand were
there nu Model school here ? The
above speaker stated that a principal
could be secured for $1100. Grant
this for 'the sake of comparison.
Principal $1100.
7 assistants at $500 - $3500,
Fuel $300,
Caretaker $250.
Ritnn'ng Expenses $150.
Total $5300.
This amount would be raised dir-
ectly by the municipality except tlm
ordinary Government grants which
are available in either case. Note
take the present condition :
Principal $1800.
7 assistants at $500 — $3500.
Fuel (one extra roost) $325.
Caretaker $250.
Rcnn'ng expenses $150.
Substitute assistant 250.

The Government as well gives each
of the eight teachers a grant of 850
