The 'St, Joseph's Dramatic Society, but more particularly the company, Rev. Father 1-Iogan, and Prof. J. F. Roche, the director., are to be congratulated upon the real success of this initial effort.

SKATING AND HOCKEY'. - Clinton's fine new rink was opened Thursday outing last and- large as it is, it was none too roomy for the crowd who wished to make use of it. It was estimated that there were about three hundred n ed skaters and quite a number did not go on ilia ice the first evening. The hand was in attendance and there was a great crowd of spec- tators. This has been a most dis- couraging season for rink managers, even after the severe cold of the beginning of the week Thursday being so mild, the ice, though not so bad to begin vitli ' gotpretty soft before e the bell rang. But is 3 t spite of all drawbacks the oyrning was a decided success. On Friday evcn'ng the Goderich hockey' team ,came down and played the local intermediates, winning in a score of 2-0. The score hardly in- dicates -the game, which was a fast,. clean game throughout, the last goal only coming to the Goderich team a few , minutes before time was cal- led. The ice became pretty heavy be- fore the game was concluded making the play difficult, but the boys pluck- ily ti' stuck it out until the end!. There wore a number of specta- tors present, a number having e0dne down from Goderich with the visit- ing teats. Coderich Township Mrs. Frcdi.

'Po the Editor 'of News -Record ; Dear Mr; Editor;—Permit me a lit- tle space in your valuable columns to relate to the iaw'-abid'ngcitizens of Clinton and the officials of the town especially, what , 2 ;saw on Friday night last. Knowing that a hockey match was on that night and hear- leg something of the conduct and condition of some 'or the players or patrons ofthe game—who evidently had come well provided with the liq- uor they afterward used SO - freely—I took the trouble of visiting the rail- way station at the time of the out- going train to Godorich. It was a veritable pandemonium, a Bowling, yelling, cursing crowd was in pobftes- sion, 7 have seen the gross side of life in the slums of Glasgoiv and Manchester in the old land, but the scene on Friday night in this Local Option town of fair Canada surpassed in coarseness and vulgarity the low- est of stun life. I reckoned from ap- pearances that twentyhad 'Hauer. Seven were certainly beyond self -con-, troi,- or the control and advice of the more respectable. Ona of the seven was helpless. He fell from the Union Bus lay prostrate on his back be- tween the runners, was dragged by the collar of the coat over the snow to the platform, stood an his feet, only to fall again, like a log. He ultimately was supported by two friends until helped into the train. Here ` was a scene sufficient to en- lighten the "ignorant" as to the baneful effects of liquor sufficient to make the already "fanatical" in the temperance crusade, tenfold, more so, sufficient to make "old" and young "women," yea angels week. Here were strong and evidently well-edu- cated young men debased, made stu- pid and insulting by the so called "blessed thing of God". A few questions came - to 'me as I 'looked on : 1st, Is this the ei'ement the new rink will bring into our hereto- fore quite town and into contact iviih our boys and girls who love clear sport ? 2nd, Where were the officials, appointed and paid for the enforcement of the laws, especially of the Local Option By-law ? 3rd, Is this the fulfillment of the pledge aril promise (strongly einphasied) by our recently elected Mayor that if elected he would strictly enforce any by-law passed -by the citizens, whether Loc- al Option or the Canada Temperance Act 1 4th, In knowledge of these vio- lation, of the Local Option by -Jaw, what action ought the temperance party to take for the rigid en"oreo- nrernt of the same. Thanking you in anticipation. -. Tp remain, Yours Sincerely W W. WYLIE' Baptist Pastor, Bayfield.

The stage leaves here - in time to catch the H. and 11. train from the north at Britcefield and remains there until the arrival of the tip -bound and re- turn:ng reaches Bayfield at 11,.30. It leaves o cs again at 2 o'c ^ k to meett t e clown train at Brumfield and there awaits the evening train from the south, getting into Bayfield aga`n at 8 o'clock. This gives us a splendid service and ""what - we have been ask- ing for for years. Mr. Wni. Elliott has/ taken over the stage line and we have no doubt will give entire satis- faction. - This change in the running of the stage will enable the rural routes served from Varna and Bayfield to receive the Toronto dailies on the day of issue .

Differences of Opinion There' May Always Be, Even in Model School Matters. 0 the Editor of 'l h0 News -Record Mr, Editor—In last week's News' -R - cord Mr. 'Thos. Cottle. 11i9.eussed the Model School quiStion. }le spealri of a statement I made on nomination night as !'erroneous." I presume the reference is to the part in which 1 held -the Model school grant was one thousand dollars only, whereas Mr. Cottle claims there is an extra grant of four hundred direct to the teachers' malting in all fourteen hundred r dollars, 31400. Now Mr. Editor I would like to'say that a number of gentleman who read the goverment agreement, and who T be- lieve ate equally expert with Mr. , Cot- tle in reading such documents inter- preted the agreement the same as 1 did and so expressed their opinions. In the farm of this it is hardly fair for Mi, Cottle to charaeterire my statement as "erroneous" until he has the cash in hand, and this I think is not here yet. As a ratepayer of Clinton I can assure you it would be a pieasaure to know • that the ambiguous agree• mcnt gives to us all that Mr. Cot- tle desires. Again Mr. Cottle was not prevent- ed on nomination night from staking an explanation, and though I had the floor, I graciously stepped back while he made an explanation quite as full as it is given in the local papers. I think, Mr. Editor, I did say we might get a Principal for our Public school for 31100 without the model class attaehmentt and I would fur- ther say we might get a good Prin- cipal for 31000. The salary of Prin.' cipal in Goderich Public school (larg- est) is for 1914, 3925 this school has 9 teachers. It is Victoria school. Central school, Goderich, has 5 teachers and for .1014i Principal gets $725 salary, which is an average of 3825. I know some are ready to say, we do not want a cheap teacher for Principal, as the Entrance class wo'illd surely suffer, but Sir, during the fall term the entrance pupils are taught by the cheapest teach- er the hoard can find. I am casting no reflections on the teacher for this Past terra I understand she is a most efficient teacher and probably, as good or better than those who ap- plied for the position at a higher salary. Then why rush for high salary teachers it lower grade teach- ers do the work quite as good. • Suppose now 1 show conte figure;, and they say figures never lie. • 1st Public school without Model 2nd Public school with Model, 1st Principal sa'ary 31000:7 teach- ers at 3500 — $3500. 2nd Model, Principal salary 31,800, 7 teachers at 3550 — 33850. Extra teacher: for fall term 3300, total 35050, Difference 31190, eating ' up, the 31000 Goverment, grout and the $400 additional great. To say noth- ing of extra roost heated anclused for Modilite class, etc. Now where is Mr. Cottle's gain, and if we eere lucky enough to secure a Principal at Coderich average price 3825 then you can see we would be $175 more out with the Model. Mr, Cottle speaks of the standing it; gives our school, I ma stain in the end it lowers the standing, dem- oralizing as it does the teaching during the fall term, easily ruder- stood uderstood bi' any Parent whose children bring home laughable reports of the ntodelites in their early attempts to teach the young idea to shoot, thus hindering the teaching in all the dif- ferent c'asses. But perhaps worse than all is the hindrance to the ane trance pupils, causing as it dors a change of teachers complete in the middle of the year or at New Years, and sometimes at all events imposing on that highest class an in- ferior teacher for the fall term. The prestige the town ga'ns by a few Modeiite pupils so'otu•hhiag here for 5 days and 4 nights each week in the fall terne is nowhere in a balance sheet compared to the above debt. Had Mr. Cottle left his explanation ab he gave it noutination night I would not have troubled you, Mr. Editor, for this space, but reacll'ng as he does a wider audience Than . WO had at the town hall, I felt it in. cumbent on me to place myself fully before your readers as to the posi- tion .1 took on the question. Thanking you Mr, Editor for your valuable gaacc, I ani Yours truly, C. W. 'l'HOMPSON.
