the 0. E. Ai. Convention of 1925, was
held iii Clinton on ,Saturday last,
when an intoresting and , profita'ble
afternoon was spent.
the convention opened with an at.
stress oil welcome from Mr. C. G. M•id
dlecony reeve of Clinton, who ex.
prps°sed his pleasure 'in welcoming
such a gathcfring as this to the Town
of Clinton. He -spoke -briefly of . the
advantage to the county of' giving the
young people good schools, thus fit -
.ting -thein to °undertake ,their --lire
worl: of whatever nature i,t' may 'be,
Hr. Rbbt. Coulter; president of ttie'
Association, wlio occupied the chair,
expressed his regret that the ,people
as a. whole are not more :interested -in
educational matters, when upwards of
$05,000, aside from grants aro ex-
pended annually in our own county,
and about' $132,000,000 in the Prov-
ince of. Ontario, care contributed to-
ward this :very`- important matter,
year by year. Re .•emphasized the
need for good education, and espec-
ially the building -up of character in
our boys and ghee, .pointing out that
honesty and uprightness really ement
for more than dollars and cents, ` The
object of education should be to raise

are not fully enough attended.
Mn. IS. B. Stothers, "district repre-
sentative of the "county of Iluron,.
spoke on the 'eubjeci of voeatiopas
training. He called attention to the
feet that the rural shoo' of today
provides nothing: for the pupils after
the Entrance is passed• and that boys
and girls leave school too young,also
expressing 'his belief that larger

My. Spencer, principal of the Sea -
forth High 'School next addressed the
Convention ou the_subjeet of Cont-
rnercial conies in High Schools, and
the advisability of adopting the teaeii
ing of sense. Re is of the opinion
'that a commercial course' should not
be undertaken without at least •Cwts
years -continuation work, as a stua-
ent with a' poor foundation does not
usually make good, -whereas, a boy ox
girl with a three years'- 'course in
continuation work, is sure of a glee
position, Ire suggested that the busi-
ness course aoulil run concurrently,
but did not deem it advisable to have
it comettlsory. Ner would it do to
substitute the ,commercial'college for
some other subjects, es ho that rase
sobjeets necessary for matriculation
would not be taught. Leaving' -option-

spoke on: Vocational Education tit

of the future wdtherogard to education
in rural schools, the 'general treno.
Tieing toward improvenent, but said
that in his opinion the day for con-
solidation was 'rapidly passing. Many
new schools had boon built and oth-
ers re -modelled, which would have to
be discarded were cansoliiiitiotr gen-
erally adopted, He spoke' of the Im-
inense erowds:?4t •attendance at the
'convention of' .the '0,'7t'. A. as 'being
due to the opposition to the Township
school boards, and • suggested- that
constructive measures would be much
(better than 5o much destructive crit-
icism, although opposition along this
lute was not so, great as in, previous
Years, and on the whole, in his opie-
hitt, there would' be many -advantages
from Townshi,g'Boards, such as great-
er_ uniformity and better aceom-modar_
tion IIe referred' to the "felt that
the Onta3io Government was doing
so much Tor the schools that there
was little left foe the trustees to do,
.and. suggested that if the County
Councils had more to do along this
line, that their suggestions would be
received with less suspicion than ;are
those' coming from the „government,
and would he anus likely to meet
with the approval of the, people. lie
advocated the use of the .public
schools in rural, communities, to
a •greater extent as community cen-
tres and: also as Sunday schools. $o
.many country churches are ,tow be-
ing done away with that tire' present
generation are apt to become non -
church goers. He called attention to
-the fact =that fifth classes are allow-
ed in schools, only two•, :pupils per
school being • necessary: He advocat-
ed night courses at high .Schools ani
Collegiate Institutes where agricuY-
tuta auto -mechanics, farin-mechan.
ics, household science, ore.,' etc., could`
be be taken up. There is much more
to be-leatried with'regarcl.to A.gricul-
