cation is borne by the state, and of
England and Scotland, where 50 per
cent of the cost is assumed by the
state. The increased .grant" for ac-
commodation and equipment will af-
fect . only public 'and separate rural
schools.
- Considerable discussion was raised
and several questions were asked
which Mr. Beacom answered satisfac-
torily. ,
Mr. A. L. Bruner of Rnthven, Pre-
sident of the Provincial. Trustees and
Ratepayers Association was the next
speaker. His subject was "Educa-
tion and Security." Mr. Bruner stat-
ed that, "We are all human and are
living in a great age to -day. Other
generations wrestled with problems in
just the sante way, as we are today.
Regardless of calling or vocation, op-
portunity is here. The future rests
on the children of today. We note
conditions the world over and aslc
when they will change. We ought to
be ashamed to call ourselves clever,
educated people and all the time a
hinge proportion of our population
heart -broken, broken in morale, be-
cause of lack of opportunity. Who1
are our boys and girls going to do?
Our work is to interest everyone 11
this most vital question of to -clay. Mr,
Bruner stated that the United. States
decided they were insecure as a nation
and voted millions of dollars towards
the building of armaments. This idea
did not originate in the United States.
A large number of the countries of
tate world. In reading and studying
• history we should learn to benefit
froi;t the mistakes of our predeces-
sors. The idea of making armaments
to protect ourselves from dur neigh
)yours is false security. We should
not complain about a few dollar's
school tax when we pay a.nutch larg-
er tax for this false security. We
should learn• to live together as
friends helpone" another. Politics
1 t
may change, but politicians are men
and should realize that it is neces-
sary to balance our educational sys-
tem. 'It is very important to keep a
balance, otherwise our democracy'is
at stake. ,
Through the efforts of the Ontario
Educational Associations, a new sys-
tem to fit our boys and girls . will
eventually materialize, not only with
the idea of providing luxury anti
wealth but how to make use of the
good things we have in abundance in
this present . The time is the
time for all interested in this new
system of education to make con-
structive suggestions. We should be
resolved to keepou • interest all ear'
r Y
tong in our best asset—the youths of
our land."
Mrs, Davidson was called upon to
say a few words, She said in part,
"Money does not count. We are
building -homes, lives; lives are the
most important. We, who are inter-
ested in education will be rewarded
if we help to encourage the young
people. We are not to de discouraged
if conditions ale not always favour-
able. We hope that all the young
people will be fitted to find a place
in the world in which to serve." Mrs.
Davidson advocated that all who orb
interested - in educational matters
should avail themselves of the Cana-
dian School Journal, in which they
would find useful knowledge.
Major A. Firth, • of Clinton,, was
called upon to say a few words, "Our
boys and girls, stated Major Firth,
would be better off if they had to
make their own opportunities, than
having the opportunities presented to
therm"
Mr. Thompson took the chair, in
place of the retiring president, Mr:'
Powell, and proceeded with th'e meet-'
ing. Votes of, thanks were extended
to the speakers, to the children who
had acquitted themselves -so well in
the public speaking, to the retiring
president, to the Department -of Agri-
culture for
u e the use of the Board Room:
The meeting closed with the singing
of "God Save the` King." •

a goodly number of devoted women.
176. had died during the year. The
depression, she said, had made itself
felt even in the Church, but the Chris -
tion Church had kept up better than
any other. organisation. She regret:
ted that a number of workers, native
workers, had had to be dropped ow-
ing to lack of funds. She said the
Dominion president had said that
when times improved the first thing
should be to ;restore to' the mission-
cries the salaries which had been
depressed in 'the depression. The Do-
minion Board had recommended the
dropping' of allocations, but She said
she thought a 'allocation. was an
g n
incentive,'"The people should be told
the need •and then `aaked•'to• misd 'to.
it, An inerease of ten percent, had
been asked for this year, but only a
three' percent. inerease had been rale-,
ed, She hoped the . ten percent.
Might be reached this year.. She told
of sone experiences shel'met with in
the west. We here knew little of
sacrificial givings, she said, and told
of one Auxiliary which out of its
poverty gave $50. One woman came
with five cents, which she said 'she
was ashamed to offer, but which ;she
was tn•ged to give. That was the sort
of giving which counted, when people
gave until it hurt, She spoke of the
great Christian leader, Kagowa, who
was giving• leadership to the Western
Church by his devotion. No great
Work was ever aecoinplished without
sacrifice, she said. The Christian
Church is faced with great problems
and His followers would need to deep
sten with Christ if they wish to suc-
ceed in the task of spreading. His
Kingdom.

ows," and this was followed by the

SEAFORTH LAWYER
!GIVES . HIMSELF UP
With an extrrultion waiver and con-
fession signal John Joseph Hug-
gerd sat in a cell here today await
ing tho arrival of a police escort to
take hunt back to Seaforth, Ont., to
face theft and conversion charges.
Huggard told Police the was ready
"to pay the penaltyfor my offence,"
and he will go back to the Ontario
city with rnspector E. G. Gurnett, en
route here from Toronto.
Inspector Gurnett, member 'of the
Criminal Investigation Branch of
the Ontario provincial 'police,. left
Toronto last night. He will be back
in Toronto with IIuggtircl, a lawyer,
in custody around July 8 or 9.
Destitute, He Told Police
Detective Captain Jack Trainet''an-
nouncecl iruggard's detention and con-
fession. Huggard informed police he
was desittute. IIe Kaci beenliving in
a Small hotel here for the past week.
Detailing g his movements; Haggard
said he left Seaforth, April 29 or 30
and 00100 here after stopping for
various periods in New York, Buf-
falo, Chicago, Kansas City. and Dal-
las.
Huggard was quoted in the police
statement as having "embezzled from
$30,000 to $40,000 from a dozen dif-
ferent persons." He had access to
stocks and bonds which had been
placed under his control and the po-
lice statement said Huggard lost
stoney "by putting up securities as
margin with an investment house."
Huggard, who has been in Los An-
geles one week, Iiving in a small ho-
tel at Sixth and Hope streets, said
the principal motive for his walking.
into. thepolice station and confessing
was "to pay the penalty for my of-
fence," and secondarily because he
was destitute. •
"Its the old, old story," Hug-
gard, of gambling with other peo-
ple's money—and other things." He
would not say what be 'meant by
"other things."
"I could make _ it appear glamor-
ous," he said, "but I think enough
has been said already. There was no
woman in the case, however.. I
avant that understood. I am ready to ,- a
go back and face the music,"
Officers quoted Huggard as say,
ing further:
"I am at the end of my tether.
This will be hanging over me all my
life. I want ot pay niy debt to jus-
tice, and get it over."
He was booked on suspicion'
n of.
fugitive charges 'pending word from
Toronto, where a full report was
sent.
The officers said he told them he
speculates with clients' securities in
the stock market in an effort to re-
coup apparently bad investments
made for his wife.
He declared that ironically • his
wife's investment was successful but
the others lost.
Then the brokerage firm in Sea-
forth, Ont.,. through which he dealt,
failed, and he declared he fled April
29, making his way from New York.
to the coast. •
The confession made by Huggard
was witnessed by Detectives R. J.
Chambers, S,N. Spanach and T. H.
Rankin with L:` Barth, 'stenographer"
