THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD REPORT: OF P. S. IN- SPECTOR FOR EAST HURON Folloving is the report of East Huron, submitted by Dr. J. M, Field, and presented; by hini at the recent meeting'of the County Council. "There were 109 teachers in the schools of East Huron this year --- two two less than last year; Walton be- came a one -room school, at mid -sum, mar and Clinton reduced its staff from eight to seven. Of these 21 arc, male and 88 are female; there are 45 with First Class Certificates, 63 with ,Second and one with a Kinder- garten Director's Certificate. It is the first trine in my experience as Inspector that there have been no changes of teachers at the New Year. The attendance of pupils in. -this Inspectorate is very gratifying; it', bespeaks the interest parents have the educationtheir 'hildren n inofc, I feet the rural school pupils are al- most as regular in their attendance as the urban schools in spite of the handicaps of weather, distance and the temptations to keep. the children •home at times to assist in the work. Tuckersmith, Grey and Hallett Town- ships lead with 92, per cent perfect attendance and the others little be. low, Of the individual schools, No. 10 Hullett stood highest with. 97 per cent regularity. There was not . a single case of truancy; who can doubt that children are better than they used to be and that the schools have not been made more attractive? To cope with the problem of the very small school the Legislature en- acted at lie last session that if in any rural school section there should be for two consecutive years less than eight persons between the ages o'' five and fourteen years residing therein, the Minister may direct that the public school of such section shall no longer remain open; and the same shall thereupon be closed until the Minister otherwise directs, Three sections were warned of their predicament and were placed on pro-' bation. As •a means of livelihood,,the pro, fession of teaching is, like most oth- ers, in a demoralized condition. Spe- tial training for two years at the Normal Schools has doubled the cost and successive reduction for three years have cut the salaries in most uses in two. ,Competition for posi- tions is very keen and the Normal Schools are overflowing, so that re- lief is still distant. Urban schools have maintained their salary sched- ules, with slight' reduction; rural school teachers are the sufferers. For last year and the present year the Township grant for one•room rur• al, schools has been reduced to $450; this is a salary grant and, sebool ]scalds paying _less than this amount cannot receive the full Township grant; only one school, however, in East Iluron is in this position. The Government, on the other hand, will pay no more than the difference, be- tween the Township grant and that of the teacher, as a grant. All the Townships paid in Decem- ber paid' the full .grant and levy. Most of the schools reduced, Choir bal- ance from last year, but some, which prefer to do' their own financing for the year, still carry high balances. It is worth while to note that the Township Council is obligated to levy and, collect such suns as may be required by a Board of Trustees for school purposes. •On the other hand by an amendment of 1933, the Board is required to prepare and submit to the Municipal Council on or before such time ,as the Council may pre- scribe, estimates . for the current year of all sums to be required to be provided to meet the expenditures Inc, the schools' under their ,charge. and such estimates. should show the amount of any surplus or deficit re maining at the end of,the preceding year and any revenues estimated to bo derived by the Board from all sources. From this amendment it would appear that the Board of Trustees has to show the need for the moneys which they ask the Council to collect. Tho basis for the Government giants for the present .yeae will not be much different from that of last year; if anything, it is more favour- able. Twenty per cent. was deductec last year; it is my guess that the full amount will be paid this year.. Ten teachers will have completed five .eat years' experience at mid -summer• and will be required to return to a Normal School; eleven others wilI have completed four years' and May, possibly be included. It seems .to me, however, that the accommodation at the Normal Schools tivilI prove .insuf- ficieat for the latter, in which case, they will be allowed another year as in the past.' Trustees would find it to their advantage, when the teacher hasbeen especially successful in their schools, to grant leave' of ab- sence for the year so that they may have their services when they have secured their Permanent Certificate. The school in No. 9 East Wawa nosh was destroyed by fire early last year; in Its place, a fine new brick building has been erected on the old site that is El -credit • to the section and one of the•finest in the •Snspec- torate. It was opened with due Inc.. malities at the beginning of Septan ber. The ratepayers 'also, make good use of their school for Sunday School purposes and as a Cotmnunity, Cen- tre. The only School Pair held this year was at Belgrave; it embraces a large. number u I of schools o s in East Wawanosh and Morris. Its management deserves credit for its continued success; the exhibits are excellent and the inter- est keen. It is a pity that the same enterprise is not shown in other parts of the County where these fairs have been ,-discontinued. The costs need only be slight and the benefits are worth while. A ;joint meeting of the Teachers' Institutes of East and West Huron was held in Goderich in October. The programme ;was excellent, splendid addresses were given by the teachers and there seemed to arise a new in- terest from the .mingling together of the teachers of the whole county. Music continues to be taught suc- cessfully in all the urban •centres but Blyth. At competitions at Stratford among school in the adjoining eoun- tiea, Brussels and Ethel ranked high. It is a pity that rural schools are not able to enjoy the same privileges. Lower School Examinations were taken over last year by the High School Entrance Boards; through this change the cost was reduced to all concerned; even , the High School Boarthe County - u Boards and C y ConcrT de- rived a mall 'surplus. The t s sure Education Department will further reduce the Middle and Upper .Scheol fees to 31.00 per paper Inc the present year. This might well be done in the larg- er Centres where there has been ' a considerable balance over the. ex- penses each year from the examine. Hoes. There were 314 candidates for the Entrance Examination of whom 236 received eertlfieates, For reasons of economy the centre at Belgrave was cancelled, At Manley, where for many year's there were few candidates from the adjoining schools, there were this year 41. An extension of the privilege of securing certificates on the Principal's recommendation will be extended this year. Net so many pupils who secured certificates in 1933 are attending High Schools. This applies to children living at a distance from Iligh and Continuation Schools. The others are either at- tending Fifth Classes in their ]tome schools or have left school definitely. I wish to thank the Secretaries for their promptness in sending in their Annual Reports and congratulate them on their general accuracy. In conclusion, 'I wish to express my appreciation for the ability and in- dustry of your teachers., Whatever may be their' reward, you will find them at all times doing their duty to the very best of their powers."
