He attended Our Lady of 'Mercy School and also the Collegiate Institute and Technical School. He is survived by his parents, four brothers, Eugene, Jack and Stephen, at home, and ,Joseph of South America; and three sisters, Mrs, J. McMillan, Sea - forth; Mrs. Charles'K.

The work of installing the new Northern Electric fire alarm system. was completed this week which gives Seaforth thoroughly' moderh fire pro- tection in every particular, ,False alarms, the bugbear .of the discarded system, will be almost entirely elnmin ated. A direct current of 24 volts cir- culates continually in the new :system and it is only when;the ,Circuit is bro- ker that an alarm is given. 'When an alarm is sent in from any orf the boxes on the streets the electric' siren located in the towel of the town hall is set going and an instrument in the fire hall stamps dashes on a mov- ing paper tape to give the nmtvber of the box, from which the call came. If an alarm is,ttsrned'iin from the fire' hh1l or if•blown fese or other cause has accidenitally' caused the alarm the tape registers No. 1. Need- less rums of the fire brigade will be a rare occurrence with this system.

The fact that money Banded over the city counter will ne- ver return to the hone . community does not seem a very serious matter to the average shopper while under the magic spells woven by highly trained. sales departments with their skil- fully -arranged, shimmering goods. langil\le evidence is required to make the average person stop and think of these things, and a recent incident at Goderich brings out very clearly the value of co-operation in a community, •Mr. W: L. Forrest's dredging com- pany has grown until it has become one of the biggest industries in Gode- rich. 1'he 'Forrest Dredging Company expense'ac•count for 1929 was between 8135,000 and $140,000, with $70,000 of this in_wages. Recently a deputation from Go- derich went to Ottawa to ask for an increased appropriation for dredging in Goderich harbor to .complete the re- moval of`the island in the harbor this year. I:t' is reported that statements regarding the interview with the Min- ister of Public Works seemed to indi- cate that the delegation 'had favored givingany further work;to the Boone Dredging Company, which is a Tor- ot'to concern, in preference to Mr,. Forrest's company, "'When Mr. Forrest saw these re- ports in the press," says a letter of explanation to the council, "he Very touch resented the attitude of the .dele- gation and took the position khat if Goderich did' not want •to help hien he was under no obligation to help Go- derich, and as a result hg immediately discharged all of the lmen he had em- ployed from this town, and instead of buying his. 'supplies in town as he has always done concluded to purchase in other pleaes,, veny much to the detri- nient of 0,1,11' merchants."Subseqently, after mutual explan'a- tibtid *ere made, the misunderstan'd- ing was cleared up to the satisfaction of. ,i li ton.cernect, showsNeverhothewless inite;rthe utcident forcibly - .dependett:ia every individual or group of a ,contnnvnity upon every other part 'of 'the conimunfity.

CHATS ON EDUCATION At the Principal's Desk. • BASTER HOLIDAYS ARE C0'1FLN,G I wonder .how many boys and girls, parents, teachers and trustees know why the holiday in Ontario is a full week and a day instead of just Good Friday and !Easter 'Monday? The reason is the annual Conven- tion of the Ontario Educational - As- sociation, and the holiday is to allow the teacher's an opportunity to attend. 'Curiously enough, one resolution that will be considered this year is one proposed by one of the sections of the Trustees' and Ratepayers' 'Associa- tion that since comparatively few teachers take advan•tage.of the holiday toattend the Convention, the extra a holiday should be abolished, and only Good Friday and Easter Monday al- lowed. Perhaps some of the indiffer- ent ent teachers wl take the hint. School Boards are authorized to pay the expenses.of one member and one teacher as delegates to the 'Conven- tion, which indicates the, importance the Government attach' to .a conven- tion of this kind. Itis in conferences of this' kind that both teachers and trustee's .fined the opportunity shoulders -'an opo ty to rub d ex- change ideas with others who are facing similar probl•em,s. It is in the discussion. of ,these conventions that most of the changes in educational methods andP olicies are worked out before they are enacted into law. 'Among the Subjects of discussion will be the proposal for County Boards of Education, another urging that a wider variety of courses of study --be provided by . Continuation Schools and High Schools that serve rural conmmunities. A feature of the Convention that should interest the people of this dis- trict will be an address by Hon. J, S. Martini Minister of Agriculture, on Lessons 'from the High Schools of Denmark. Our farming districts suf- fering from general stagnation and loss of population will be interested in learning what the High Schools of Denmark have done to make that little country, of limited natural resources, one of the most prosperous, contented and progressive agricultural countries on the globe. 'Still soother topic will be the train- ing of teachers in the Normal Schools to understand the backward and'hand- icapped child. It is to be hoped that as this idea develops it will result in a training of teachers for the better•un- derstanding of ell children in order that all teachers may be qualified to assist in the educational and vocation- alguidance of every child. During the three days, April 22, 23 end 24, there will be general sessions for all, also special sessions 'for the different groups where Trustees will meet with Trustees, Principals with Principals, Kindergarteners with Kin-• dergarteners, and teachers of special subjects will meet with those meeting with the problems of the sane sub- jects. While the membership of the On- tario Educational Association is com- posed mainly of those actively en- gaged in educational work either as teachers or as trustees, there is also a provision for any others who .may be interested in education. Anyone who is interested may become a member, and receiving each month the official organ of the Association, THE CAN- ADIAN SCHOOL JOLTRNAL, may keep in touch with educational dis- cussions and educational progress in Ontario.
