ference to the change :in the Wroxe-
ter school section.These were, re-
ferred to the education committee to
be considered along with the original
petition. .
G. R. Paterson, agricultural re-
presentative addressing the, council,
spoke of clean seed and proper fer
tilizers as necessary aids to increased
production. He advocated the tak-
ing of a census of:the county , with
a. view to having; the county declared
a "better bull area. This census
could be taken by the municipal as-
sessors. His department was' pre-
pared to assist fanners in treating
sheep for tapeworm, which was the
cause of much loss and suffering
among these animals.' He urged that
in breeding the best procurable stock
be obtained. The short courses and,
public speaking contests would be
continued this year, having proved
useful, in the past. The county stock
judging team Last -year took 4ourth
place among thirty-two teams, and
'he hoped the council would continue
the grant for this purpose. He
Suggested that a trip be -organized
among the farmers of Huron to ob-
serve conditions of crop -growers and
stock -raisers and the various types
'of farming in other section.s

of Western Ontario, was invited to

ten or twelve per cent: above that of

of the students came from the thir-
teen
hirteen counties of the "University's dis-
trict. Thera were fifty-one from
Huron, not counting. those attending
affiliated collies. The Uniyersity
summer school also„was well atten-
ded,. Including grants from the Pro-
vincial Government nuiU the city of
London,. the University had an, an-
nual income of $420,000; its yearTy
expenditure was half -a -million, leav
ing• a deficit of $80,000.
C. A. Robertson, M.P.P.. for
North Enron, addressing the council,
said .he thought the comitywas on
the right track' In asking for more
consideration in the natter of the
upkeep of public offices. The cost
of education was becoming a very
serious matter and the tendency was
to draw more and more from the
taxpayers. The county should have
a representative at the convention of
the Ontario Educational Association
and the School Trustees' Asociation
He thought high schools should cater
more to the special needs of the dis-
tricts in which they•are situated. The
I people were entitled to the best ser-
vice obtainable from these schools,
because of the :large' support given
them.. If university work was to be
done in local centres the people
might expect to pay for it,
