SIanual training and home ecan-
entics are now features of all the
urban schools, except Hensall, in the
Inspectorate. Most of it is taken it
high schools by arrangement. Zurich
equipped two rooms in its nubile
school.
Transportation grants now paid by
the Department of Education have
aroused considerable interest, Two
or more rural school boards which
combine to provide transportation to
high schools or Collegiate inetitntes'
are fiiven grants of 60 per cent of the
cost of transportation. the remaining
forty per cent to be paid by the ser
tions concerned.
Another grant of $100 per school
section per year will be paid when
two or more sections combine under
one board.
Appreciation of the support giver
reforestation by the county council
was voiced by Mr. Beacon. S. S. No
3, Hullett secured a. plot last spring
and have their trees already planted
Two other sections, No. 11. Goderich
Township, and No. 15. Hay and Ste-
phen. have purchased plots. To se
eure interest in the planting of trees
and to commemorate the visit of the
king and queen, each pupil in the
rural schools last May was supplied
with live trees for planting athome
In this way an interest in reforesta-
tion is being inculcated.
More pupils are continuing their
education after Entrance, than prev-
viously, only 18 per cent last year
being reported as having stopped.
School fair regulations have been
altered to eliminate home help, and
the displays last year were the work
of the pupils actually done at school.

Inspectors Report
J. H. Kinkead. public school in-
spector for North Huron, gave a crow
rise report. The number of schools
with new teachers was 44, and the
number with previous experience, 20.
Music was well taught in most
schools in his Inspectorate and the
value of hone economics and manual
training is being recognized. During
the year S.S, No. 6. in Ashfield. was
closed as the board decided it would
be an economy to send the children
to Dungannon. Three schools will be
closer] in one district as there are not
enough children to make a class. A
great number of trees were planted.
many of them most successfully.
An officer of the Salvation Army
spoke in support of a request for a
grant for the Army's rescue and war
work.
The service of the Salvation
Army to the men at the front in the
last war was second to none," said
Reeve George McNeil, a veteran of
the great war. A motion by Reeve
McNeil, seconded by Reeve E.,D,
Brown, another returned man, tbat'an
extra grant be given to the Salvation
Army for its war work was sent to
the executive committee.
The number of teachers available
for vacancies in the inspectorate is
very small, Inspector E. C. Beacom
of South Huron stated in an address
to the county council at the Wednes-
day morning session. Grand Bend, of-
fering a salary of $1,000, has been
without a teacher since Christmas.
The average salary in the rural
schools this year is $750, an increase
of $32.00 over 1938; the lowest being
paid in the rural schools is $650 and
the highest $1,050. For the urban
schools the average salary is $975,
He anticipated that salaries will
show a further increase in rural
schools as it is felt that boards will
be required to pay a salary of $750
to 9800 to secure the services of com-
petent teachers.
In the Inspectorate during the
Autumn term there were 78 rural and
five urban schools in operation in
which 115 teachers were regularly
employed. The May enrohnent 111
South Huron last year was 2904, of
whom 1,870 are rural and 1.034
urban.
