Dr. Field was then asked to .art,
Trounce the decision n: the judges 'in
the speaking contest. He said that
while they had experienced great
difficulty in. differentiating between
the' speakers, who had all done so
remarkably well, yet they were un-
animous in their decision. ' Refer-
ring to the fact that the addresses
'must of necessity have been prepar-
ed for the majority of the contestants
but that they were ,lnemerized and
stage manner and delivery had to be
deciding factors, he particularly coin -
mended the speaker from Clinton ur-
ban school, Kenneth Dolman, who
had prepared an original speech
from his own personal experiences.
First -place was given to Aileen Clark
Fc 'dwich, whose subject was "The
Value 'of Birds to Men." This decis-
ion was popular with the audiences
for this winsome miss was absolute
ely captivating in stage manner, peau
sonality and delivery. Her choice of
subject was a popular one also and
everyone was enthusiastic in ens
plause. Second place went to Dona
Old Harris, whet had .chosen the very
commonplace subject of `Butter."
There was nothing commonplace ,'-
bout ,the address, •however•, for .in .a
very elear voice -and with, distinct
punctuation Donald told hie audience
how butter was first discovered, hcw
its manufacture and use became
world-wide, its food. value in vita-
mines, its excellence as a food for
children, especially and for adults.
He quoted the general prescription of
an eminent doctor, who said, de not
give children "bread and, butter,"'bet
give them "butter and bread." This
decision also was popular with the
audience. Third place was given to
Billie Fairish, who was quite con-
vincing in his arguments that agri-
culture can compete with industry.
The speakers were then called to
the stage again and their prizes
awarded. George Spottee, M.P. for
North' Huron, was also, asked to cone
upon the stage. 'Chairman McLeod
referred to the generosity of Mr.'

Morley, left the Asquith govern-

in 1914, now says that events and
conditions since have preyed his
prescience, But suppose the advice
of Burns and Morley had been taken,
what would have been the result?
The only thing we can be sure of is
that the war would have been won
by the central powers. What would
have happened after that and what
the conditions would be to -day we

colm 'McBeth,; editor of The Sun,
Milverton, president 'of the. Provin-
cial Association, was first called. He
expressed regret that he had not ar-
rived in time to hear all the contest-
ants in oratory. Ile referred to the
tremendous , power of oratory, 'the
greatest power known in' the influ,
encing of men and women. Ile in-
stanced historical examples of ora-
tors who had influenced the destiny
of nations. The melt influential
speakers, said lie, were those who
used simple language. He thought,
perhaps, John Bright had been the
greatest orator of his time, and he
wasa very plain speaker.. On mat-
ters more allied to the association of
which he had the ho'n'or to be' presi-
dent, he made reference to the, splen-
did wont of Egerton Ryerson, who
in the early days of the history of
education in this province had jour=
neyed td Europe and' had gleaned
from '-the educational institutions
