Dec e to e—Ottawa Winter Fair, Ottawa, Dec. 8 to 11—Ontario Provinciej Winter Fair, Guelph, Royal Pair Opens This week marks the opening of the Royal Winter Pair at Toronto, and everything points to the most interesting exhibition of agricultural produce and live stoek in the Fair's history, this in spite of condi- tions in many parts of Ontario whicht tended to retard a nuniber of crops during the past season. Coming at this season of the year, representa- tive fanners in large numbers from all parts oe the province are expect- ed to attend, The visit of the Royal 500" Perty.of•farm boys and a lar party of farm girls will be a fea- ture of the odeasion.

Varioes inseets and the waithings from roofs of houses, es- pecially where birds are numerous, couspire .a pollute cistern water. With the coming Of the rainy season farmers will find it valuable to give the cistern a thorotight eleansing in preparation for refilling with fan rains. Filters also should be taken apart or reconstructed, according to the type in the. The cistern should be closed in so the surface water, insects and small animals cannot get in. Purity of water in cisterns is a primarn consideration, • en Tribute to Women's Institutes "No money expended by the Prov- ince of Ontario is expended so wise- ly or does 'so ninth work as the money expended on the Wennen'e In- stitutes," declared Hon. Thomas L. 'Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture, who was guest -speaker at the recent 161:h annual convention. Paying trib- ute to the work done by the Insti- tutes, he expressed the belief that , the $80,000 expended by the Govern- ment this year on the Women's In- stitutes would he eeased. He added that he hoped some money would be spent on beautifying 'farm lands, emphasizing the important place taken by floweiw, fruit trees and plain ordinary paint in making a farm into a home. He also ex - Pressed the wish that every rural home might enjoy the privilege of hydro. He saw no limit to the good work the Goverrunent might acme-. plisb with the support of the Wet - ton's institute.. Weekly Crop Report Reports from various sections of Ontario indicate that field work is only fairly well advanced. Owing to the very dry weather in the east and the rather heavy frost in tbe west, plowing has been retarded. Fall wheat is entering the winter in good condition, especially the fields that reeeived sufficient moisture to de- velop good top, There is a. continued demand for good stocker cattle, small pigs and sows, as farmers pre- fer to market their geain through live stock rather than put it on the market at present mites. Winter Peed Situation 'Mere will be many barns without the usual supply of feed this miming winter. In the drought areas the cows are ou full winter rations. The meant of feed that will be avail. able for winter feeding is being re- duced by just this much. One sug- gestion to meet' the situation is that some herd culling will be in order. In most herds of ten or tevelve cows there are two to four cows that are detinitely known to be towel. pro- ducers than their stable mates. If these wete to be sold it would re- duce the constimption of feed from 20 to 40 per cent. while the reduc- tion in production would be only from 10 to 20 per cent. Another an- gle to the culling suggested is that the marketing of it lot of culls to the butcher Would iterld to reduce 1.110141M010.1141101,01/1•11.1•11/111001114 the surplus of dairy products that is exerting such •a depressing effect on the market. Impreving Sheep in Dufferin That Hufferin County farmers are interested in sheep husbandry and recognize the value of purebred sires is evidenced by the fact that many have recently purchased purebred ranee. On Nov. 4th„ 19 registered ram Jambe were distributed from Orangeville by Itelph C. Banbury, Dufferin agricultural representative. The rams were bought by the Fede- ral and Provindial Live Stock Branches and sold at scrub ram pekes to breeders in the more inz- pontant sheep producing counties - The difference between the cost ant' sale prices is being made up by the Government. The majority of the limbs were of Oxford breed, but Shropshires, Leicesters, Hampshires, Lincolns and Dorsets were repre- tented. The buying of good quality breeding stook when prices are low is good business as the farmers will thus ;have a fine flock and be in a position to take full advantage when prices improve. Clean up the Ren House . Every hen house should be clean- ed before putting in the pullet tree. A good thprough cleaning consists of removing the litter and.all poul- try house fixtures,such as mash - hoppers, drinking fountainsand the like, then flushing the walls, ceil- ings, dropping boards and floor, segsming loose any dirt that man* have a tendency to stick. After the 'house has been thoroughly cleaned it is ready for a coat of whitewash. This will improve the appearance of your hen house, make it mueh light- er for the birds and at the sante time help to kill parasites and dis- ease germs. A. commen practice is to add a pint of disinfectant to a gallon of whitewash. Clean, comfort- able quaters for the pulletn, go a long way toward inereaseT produc- tion during the winter months. Wm Buy Poultry on Grade As a result of a conference of lead- ing wholesale burrs and represera tatives of the Federal and Provincial Governments, an agreement has been reaehed on the part of the buy- ers to recognize Government grades. The agreement marks one of the most important developments in the poultry indnstry in many years. Just wbat this announcement means to the farmers of Canada is Indi- cated by the fact that through the sbnple process of crate -feeding and properly finishing poulaey for mare ket Item 50 to 75 cents in market value may be added to the individ- ual bird. A. minimum differential of 3e per pound premium for all gentles 'in the 'milk -fed class over the corres- ponding grades itt the class selected is guaranteed by the buyers, and sup- plementing this will be definite and substantial price differentials be- tween grades within classes, the dif- ferentials increasing substantially with each decrease in grade, A. significant feature of the %aerie tion is that for the first time on the province -wide basis the protium which the consumer reaeily pays for quality in poultry, is passed along to the original producer. Feeding experts tell us that it costs less to put the last pound on a mature market bird than it does to raise the bird to maturity. It costs from 7e to 8c per pound to raise the bitd to maturity, and from 3e to 6c pee pound to crate feed and finish, It is further stated that the aver- age range bird may be expected *without finiehing to grade "Selected 13" while by being oatecfed and fin- ished, nob only is it possible to in - crew weight' approximately one pound, but what is more important to raise the market grade to "Milk - Led 33" or "Milk -fed A". A.5 current prices this means an added value per bird of around" 750. This whole situation means that a premium will be paid for the bet- ter quality bird, tied that there will be 'very little Market domed for small, thin and poorly- finished birds. Therefore it behooves the poultry - raisers to make a special effort, this year to crate feed, prorierly finis,h and propetly kill all birds for mar- ket. • Education—Not a Luxury Only for the Few -- But Now Being Adapted To The Needs of All (Continued from page 4) changes in EdUcational aim, content and visiore during recent years, Further, it is hoped that public at- tention may be tocussed on Educa- tion, its present -value and the pos- sibilities of -future development If in' even a small degree, Education Week aesists in keeping Ontavio's Enticational thought abreast of the times, it will have achieved its pur- pose. Vocational Guidance • Widespread interest in Vocational guidance is mirroted in reports From various parts of Canada. en London, the movement has rec stilted in the proposal to toren an Advisory Board as described in the following paragraphs, Au advisory board, composed of public-spirited men and women Of the city, to help children choose their vocations is a suggestion that is son to receive* the attention of the local Board of Education. Principally, the board would have to do with students who have ob- tained entrance certificates. and -wile wish to Continue studies in the col- legiates or the Technical and Com- mercial High School. The members of the board would have the duty. of sizing up' the individuals and sug- gesting stedies for them to pursue in order that they might Simi a profier niche in life. The argument is that to -day there ere a great many square pegs in round holes. Itt other words, boys and girls do not fit into life when they have cempleted their studies, They seek for a long time to find their proper sphere and sometimes are hever sttccessful. , At the present time the seretem in vogue in London finds the peineipals of the secondary schoels acting itt 1411•0.11.11111101.11111110•1•1 advisory capacity to the students ).e- gistering. It is felt that while thee men are efficient as far as picking courses for the applicants is concern- ed, still they cannot properly advise on final voeations. On the other hand, men and wo- men who have experience in life' no matter what their education maybe, heads of business concerns, doctor, lawyers and all professional men and women, well versed in handling their employees or People in geneval, will be able to size up the individual boy or girl much better than principals or teachers in secondary schoole. It is felt that they can make the pro- per euggestions. Once the members of the board had studied the child and found what they consider., the proper vocation to be followed, they wouldturn the boy or girl over to the principals so that the latter would, line up the studies -necessary in the vocation suggested. . Two recent issues of the '"11.0. Teacher," Vancouver contain articles discussing the -Motional guidance question in all phases. A course in vocational guidance principles is offeerd in Ontario at the Training College for Technical Teachos at Hamilton. The 1930 Canadian Teachees' Federa- tion Conference By J. H. Hardy, B.A., B.Paed,, 0.S.S.T.F. Delegate Alberta were hosts to this year's Conference and they performed that duty with "characieristie Western hospitality. Detailed arrangements were largely ,en the 'hands of Mit. John W. Barnett, the vice-president, find he sprered no effort to insure a sue- cessful and enjoyable conference. The Headquarters were at the Legis- lative Building, in Edmonton, but one day's session was also heldat Cal- gary and another amid the pictures- que and beautiful surroundings of Jasper Paler. While an atmosphere cif business earnestness preVaded the Conference, leisure moments were filled with social events which brought the dele- gates in close contact with the Gov- ernment and with educational and business leaders of this young, am- bitious and progressive Province. Banquets were given by the Cale gang City- Council, the Calgary Board of Education, the Edmonton Board of Education, the Edmonton Chamber of Conunerce, the Univer- sity of Alberta and the Alberta Government The evening Gorden - once met in Calgary, we were treat- ed to a drive through the famous Turner Oil Valley. These functions gave a recognition to the teaching Profession throughout Canada, and to the Teachers' Federation, which is of inestimable value. But the delegates did not overlook the real object of their gathering and educational history will record the 1930 Conference as one of the most fruitful ever held, Delegates from every Province in our broad Dominion contributed their ideas. It was found that we all faced many of the same difficulties and problems From a frank and free interchange of • opinions and experiences eve gained inspiration and enouarge- mot.

The opening up of the Geographical continents is pretty neaely complete; the opening up or the human continents and the development of the immense posib- biliths of the interior is only just beginning, Educationally considered, you and I are the companions of Columbus. The ships we sail in are 00 doubt, a great advance on the ,eor- acles of our forefathers, but compar- ed to the ships of the coming jenera- tions, they 'are like the Coroval of Columbus compared to an ocean liner. We are still feeling one way, We know something of the work that lies before us; but not enoegh to dis- charge us from the need of imagina- tion, of courage, of willingness to make experiments and to run the risk 1511.some of our experiments will An immense ferment of ideas, whose issue no man can foresee, is going on in the field of edueation.

And r ani disposecl to think that the originat- iite. source of these changes, the growing point of them', so to speak, *well be found at the adult erid of the ninventent. Hitherto it has been the other way about. ten adult educa- tors have hitherto been working.on principles and mbtliods edit:teed to the wants of boys -and girls at school or, college, but we are begiening to find that thee methods and Prin- tildes, however valuable to the early ages for which they are designed, are applicable .

In the edu- cation of the adult there is some -- thing 'demanded for which the edu- cation, of the child as now caeriesi on does not, prepare ,him, If, therefore, our end of the work in dealing with adults es to be successful, there must be a different kind 51 preparation for it at the end which dole with the child and the vowing youeh. . .

Pacts About the University of Western Ontario In 1878 the University Was estab- lished by Bishop Hellneeth of the Diocese on Huron. = The University has three faculties, namely: .

This is a change which has been under discussion for some yeas because there appeared to be no good' reason why the 'University should provide instruction which is available in the Collegiate Institutes and High Schools of the Province. For two decades or nhme; Upper Scheel or Honour Matriculation certificates have been accepted, subject for sub- ject, as the equivalent of First Year Pass Arts standing. There was, therefore, a duplication of effort whith should here after be largely obviated be. this change in university policy. It is expected that the se- condary schools will 'welcome this innovation because students will re- main -with them longer and there will be' it better opportunity for the rounding• -out of secondary education and, on the other hand, students will enter the university at a more ma- ture age, better fitted to benefit by university education. When the new arrangement goes into effect, the present Second Year will ibecome the First Year and students taking the Pass Course will graduate at the and of the Third Year. And a still more startling change has been made. Students will be able to enter the First Year of She new POE, Course without Latin beyond that of Junio Mettneulation!

P. Gavin Although the development of vo- cational education in Ontano has beeti a recent phase of its education- al growth, the idea of speeialrtrain- ing is by no means new. In 1871 Egerton Ryerson, Chief Superinten- dent of Education, in his annual re- pot seed: "Technical education is instruction in the peculiar knowledge or speeial skill tequieed in any busi- ness or occupation, the training 'which will render the talents of the citizen most useful to the state in that partieular craft or profession in which he or she is engaged, whether mechanic, farmer, engineer, teacher, merchant, architeet, minister, doctor or lawyer. As the education of the eademon school iite the youth for the performance of his duties as a citi- zen, so the teelenical school prepares him for the special duties of his trade or professio.n Divinity, law and medical schools for special or technical instemetion have long been in suceessful operation." Although the need for tecimical training was reeognized long since and steps were soon taken to provide such traihing in the higher fields of voeational intetests, progress in the establishment of social trainieg for the mechanical anti commercial pur- suits have been slow. It is only in recent years that really defective steps have been taken in these Beide. The fifty or 'More years since 1870 may for convenience, be divided into four periods. The first Period, from 1870 to 1900, was marked by the establish- ment and development of many ag- encies foe vocational education of a professional type. Opportunities for specialized training were provided for those entevine the higher occu- pational fields before they were pro- vided for those looking forward to the lower fields. That there was a felt want among those engaged in mechtatical and commercial occupa- tions is evidenced by the establish- ment and erowth during this period of ileeehanies Institute6 and of pri- vate business colleges. 'The secorid period covees the years from 1000 to about 1912. It was if period of discussion about the value of hand traibingeand of the need for praViding special training fon work- ers in the lower fields of employment as adequate for their heeds as had already been peovided for the pro- fessional workers. Manual training and domestic science were introduced and spread rapidly through the settee' stretern. , ten 1900 the Toronto City Council trarchased the Toronto Athletic Club may makeerecommendatione to the Board in regard to persons, they cm - eider desirable. Such a constitution of the adeisory committee ensures that at least some of its membere have a; fiest-liand knowledge of the occunational needs and interests of She comenunity. The scheme' enables the local school authorities to draft into sen - vice pereons who are specially in- terested in vocational training, and who perhaps could, not be elected by popular vote or who would not stand for election. In bring to the sup- port of the school not only the elect- ed school authorities, but organized employees and employers. Educa- tional authorities in Ontario are of the- opinion that these advisory com- mittees, have been a large factor in She eubstantial progress vocational education has made in the Province. The Proviemial Dramatic Library of Ontario building to house evening' classes. Day clasees were soon added and the school was passed over to the con- trol of the Board of Education and eecame known as. the Toronto Tech- nical School. In 1909 Hamilton erec- ted the first building in the province specially designed to provide tech- nical training. In many come -Amities evening classes were estaJblished to carry on the type of work the Mech- anics Institutes had attempted to do. In 1911 Die John Seath, nuperin- tendent of Education, was appointed to investigate the question of spec- ial training, and after travelling in She United States and Emmen made O moat valuable report, entitled "Education eft. Industrial Purposes." Dr. Seath's report was followed promptly by legislative action. In the session of 1911 the Industrial Education Act was passed. The Act of 1911 was suceeeded in turn by the Alct of 1913,' the Act of 1915, and finally by the Vocational Edueation Sets of Plays and Books in the ' Act of 192L These several Acts have made possible the carrying out Theatre of practically all of Dr. Seath's re- The Provincial Dramatic.
