a.m. Friday.
FRIDAY.
'The (Friday morning session. 'df
,Huron County Council proved a stor-
my one. ',{hen the report df the exe-
cutive committee was presented, it
was taken up clause by :clause with
Reeve 'Goldthorpe, of Colborne, in
the chair. The report recommended
that grants of $650 each, a reduction
of $1150 ,from last year, be given to
Wingham, Goderich, Clinton and
Seaforth Hospitals, that no action be
taken in a donation of •0x5 to Hensel
show- and that $S0 'beg iven to each
agricultural fair. All rules of proced-
ure were overlooked by the mem-
bers in the discussion which followed.
Amendments to moti'ons and amend-
ments to amendments followed in
confusing succession, several mem-
bers being on the floor at the same
time.
Reeves Eckert and Sweitzer moved
that no grant be given to the hospi-
tals, when their first motion to leave
it to the June session was defeated,
This motion was also lost on the fol-
lowing divisions
Yeas — Beaver, 'Douglas, Eckert,
Scott, Stewart, !Sweitzer-6.
No — Archibald, Ballantyne, Bow-
man, Cardiff, Consitt, Craigie, Detn-
mierling, ,Elliott, Frances, Gamble,
Haake, iHetnmin•gway, Johnston, Mc-
Nabb, McNeil, Moser, Smith, Wright,
'Goldthorpe 22.
Then Sleeves Cardiff and Haake
sponsored a motion that $400 be
granted to hospitals. Mr. 'MdKibbon,
IWingham, asserted that Winghamt
iHospital had a deficit of $11700 and
at present $600. 'It had never been
able to show a surplus. 'A grant of
less than $650 means practically an
expression from the council that they
ravish the hospitals closed,"declared,
Mr. MCKibbon.
'Reeve Craigie, {Goderich, told coun-
cil that the report that Goderich Hos-
pital had a surplus was in error; and
$2,000 was. owing the 'bank at the
present time. Reeves (Smith, Wright
and Francis also spoke supporting
the recommendation of the commit-
tee for $650 grant which was formal-
ly carried.
The !Agricultural Societies .will re-
ceive $100 each and the spring fairs,
where there is no agricultural fair,
$100.
Mr. Lawlor, field secretary for the
Canadian National Institute for the
!Blind, Toronto, addressed council on
the work of that institution. He said
there are blind .people in the Insti-
tute registered from Huron County
and 12,400 from Ontario. Mr. ILawlor's
proposal was that council give $210,
which would be ten dollars per diem,
or' a grant of 1!5 per cent of the cost,
the province having expressed the
willingness to grant 35 per cent if
councils assumed the ten.
Roads Commission.
'The following recommendations of
the Roads Commission were taken
up clause by clause with Reeve
Craigie in the chair,
,The notion of IHetnmingway and.
McNabb that the Commission exam-
ine Road No. 116, east of Brussels, as
it is in bad condition, that this be

sities of the situation; -thtat the - re-
quests, of the Minister of Highways
that the •County Engineer attend the
convention on 1'lebruery 20, be
granted.
Property Committee
The County Property Commit+tee's
report was adopted as follows:
'That all offices of the Count open,
were visited and found in fairly good
repair, and that the window blinds
of the council chambers be ifheed;
that ,the ,County Court Clerk desires
a new typewriter, the present one
baying been in use eleven years; had
inspected the Registry Office, and
found ,the inspection had demanded
a new steel 'chant rack to get away
front the fire menace and recom-
mended this be done; also recom-
mended a fire 'extinguisher costing
$12.25, also a fuel economizer; that
the one request of the Children's
Shelter for an electrical heater be
complied with.
A discussion was introduced by
Reeve McNeil of Blyth regarding the
condition of the lockup in that vil-
lage. When the question of owner-
ship
ship and responsibility of having it
repaired was debated it ended by the
Warden suggesting that the Reeve
have the property fixed in the mean-
time, and defer :the matter of pay-
ment to the next meeting in June.
'Finance'Committee.
The Finance Committee's report
was taken clause by clause with I. J.
Wright in the chair, and 'la'ter car-
ried in its entirety. The report called
attention to the malty accounts of
provincial officers and officials re
water, light, caretaking, etc., paid by
the county which it was felt should
be borne by the province, The com-
mittee protested against the exhorb-
itant bills for indigent patients, es-
pecially those sent outside the coun-
ty, in spite of the fact that the coun-
ty has four well equipped hospitals
and council endorsed the committee's
request to ask the Minister of 'Health.
to take steps to prevent this; also
protest against the present method
employed of entering - indigents in
hospitals.
As reduction of taxation has be-
come an acute problem, that spend-
ing bodies such as school boards,
should •use the "paring knife" was
the- opinion expressed by the com-
mittee and endorsed by council.
Council alto concurred in the sen-
timents expressed in a resolution from
Elgin County in the abolition of the
Grand Jury system and placing crown
attorneys on a salary basis instead of
fees,
Executive Committee.
lAt the afternoon session considera-
tion of the report of the executive'
committee was resumed. Some a-
mendments were adopted and in its
final state the report made the fol-
lowing recommendations:
That a grant of $650 be made to
each of the four hospitals, Wingham,
Clinton, Goderich and Seaforth. That
no grant be made for the upkeep of
flower beds around the court house.
That the usual grant of $25 be trade
to seed shows; that $100 be granted
to all agricultural societies holding
a fall fair; ,$80 to each spring fair
held in the county; $80 to each of the
two plowmen's associations, North
Huron and South !Huron; $15 to
each school fair; no grant to public
libraries; $150 to the Salvation Army
:or rescue work; $150 be granted to
:he National Institute for the Blind;
that the corn borer inspector be paid
35c per hour, he to furnish his ow,n
transportation; that tenders be accept -
days, and $41'25' per day for com'iinit-
tee work and 10ca mile one way in
each ease.

Inspe'ctor's Report
tGoderich, January 12111th, 11933,
The 'Warden and 'Members
of the (Huron :County 'Council.
Ge ttlemene,
II have 'thelhonour to present a 're-
port of the condition of ?the Public
'Schools :of 'East Huron for the year
11932; these include the Townships of
(Grey, 'Hul'lett, IMdKlillop, Morris,
ITuekers'mith, ITurieberry. ,and, East
IWawanosh, the towns of!Clinton,
!Seaforth and iWinghwmz and' the vil-
lages of IBIlyth• end +Brussels. The
'Township of Hawick is not included
as it is now included' irtthe Inspector-
ate Of rE'ast ,Bruce.
IThere are 111111 teachers in East
Huron of whom 182 are lin the rural
schools; the rural •schools have '38
teachers with !F'irs't 'Class :Cedtifieates
and the urban 4, 'The rural 'seh'ceols
have '13 male teachers; only the prin-
cipals lin all the urban schools 'are
risen, lAlmost without ex'c'eption ;the
schools have teachers 'with :good abil-
ity •who can be relied on 'to do their
beet.
The attendance has 'varied little
during the past few years; 'the snea4'l
schools remain small and 'fhe ;we'l'l
attended' tones 'have lost little 9f any.
During the ,past year 40,9712 rdarys
were lost by 'irregular attend'an'ce, Of
which 29,1107 were attributed, to illness
it seems rather startling that of 3,-
000 'pupils in Eas't 'Huron, 11150 are
each day too ill to attend school; it
mast of course be admitted that in
many cases .it rfonms a ready and un-
answerable excuse for absence. '1,050
days were 'lost ,through 'parental neg-
lect, '5.9 throu'gh truancy and 103
erivation, which in most 'oases means
that title 'parents were unable or neg-
lected to .provide proper clothing.
More attention is being given to the
sulbject of !h'ea'lth in the schools • by
the ;'formation of 'Junior Red ''Cross
'Societies and more 'practical lessons
in Hygiene. ,The study of health and
conduct on the road's has the direct
encouragement df the Education De-
partment; no accidents have happen-
ed to school children on the highways.
IA minimum course in Agriculture
is obligatory in all the schools; most
of the schools provide 'the m'aXtmum
course :for which a 'small grant is giv-
en to the teacher and to the ,Board
for 'as 'much as they expend. The vis-
ible signs of the 'teach'ing are 'better
kept grounds with flower beds and, in
some oases, gardens, and more at-
tractive class rooms.
There were 272 .candidates who
wrote on the 'Entrance 'Examination
of whom 221 passed; '80 obtained first-
class honours. 'A't Clinton 222 were
granted certificates on the 'Princip-
al's recommendation; this privilege
will in all probability be extended to
other schools at the next examina-
tion if desired by the (Principals: there
are some, however, who prefer that
they should win their laurels by ex-
amination.
As pointed out 'before, 'Fifth Classes
are not likely 'to'be a feature of lEast
Huron as with three High Schools
and 'Collegiate Institutes and 'two
'Con'tinuation readily accessible to ru-
ral students rfrom most parts of the
IInspeetorate by auto or bicycle, the
meed for them is not .felt. 'All rural
schools, if called on are required to
provide instruction in the (Lower
'School subjects; such was done this
year in three one -roomed schools and
three two -roomed schools. 'In the lat-
ter, at Walton, 'Ethel and 'Aub'urn,
ex'ce'llent instruction is provided and
the pupils ,find themselves at little dis-
advantage when entering the High
'Schools. IT'he adjoining sections might
wellco-operate 'weehthem to a greater
extent than they do and thus increase
their usefulness.
The Government Grants to the
Rural Schools in 1931 amounted to
$1161112d,30; in '19312 the amount was
$i1,944, a decrease of $4,1814. This
was caused •partly by a reduction of
1+0%a on all grants be't oohiefly by a
decrease its the amount of salaries
'paid. 'Thesame basis for -grants will
be in force this year, with the likeli-
hood •of a 'modification for 111934.
The 'Government Grants are based
on salary, certificate. new equipment,
end attendance.
Pile Sufferers

ing piles will go and not come back

Salves or suppositories can't do this—

H,EM-ROID, prescription of Dr, 3. S.
;Leonhardlt, succeeds because it stimu-
lates the circulation, drives out the
thick impure blood, heals and restores
the almost dead parts. HEM-ROi0
has such a wonderful record of sn.tc-
:cess in even the 1most stubborn cases
that, Chas. A'berhart and druggists
everywhere urge every sufferer to get
bottle of HEM-ROID Tablets to -
'ay. They mus: end your pile agony

IThere is e 'grant of $715 for a teach -1
er -possessing a PerManent First 'Class
,Certificate;; X160 for an Interim (First
or Permanent Second and $30 for .an
Interim )Second.
Half the 'cost of wells, toilets, 'black -
beards, maps and books are paid,' for
'equally by 'the 'County and Govern-
,menit.
' For, each •'pupil, of average attend'-
ance there is a grant of $'1.
The salary grants are based on the
equalized assessment; to find tfiis as-
sessment, the local assessment for
'Grey is multiplied by 1.0711, of Hal-'
lett by 1.038, of McKillop and 'M'or-
ris by '1119, of Tuckersmith by 1.078,
of Turnlberry by 111712, 'of East Wla-
wan'ash Iby 1.119, Of Ashfield by 1.09,
of Colborne by '2.1111, of Goderich by
125, of -Hay by 1.03, of Stanley by
1.093, of 'Stephen, by 11.02, of 'Uisborne
by 11.008, of 'West Weesanosh by 1.003'3.
'Tb And the grant, the assessment is
divided into the s'al'ary to get the2
'mill rate; When this rate is less than
3 ',milts the grant is 5% of :the salary;
when 3 'milts but less than 5 mills,
it is 9%, +when 5 mills but less than 7
trills, ,it is IOWA.; when 7 m'i'lls but,
less than 9 mills T6%; when 9 mills
,but lessehan'112'mil'ls, it is 20%a; when
102 mills but less than Il'5 milds it is
26%.
This schedule holds good also for
the urban sdhools, the 'equalized as-
sessment for 'which is as follaws:l
Blyth 1$270.800, Brussels $312l,000,,
Clinton ' 0:4,000, 'Seaforth $'750,000,

and 'Henget $'3315,600.
IGoderic'h +having a larger population

ceives '10% of the salaries +pa'id.
,The salaries df," teacher's in 'rural
schools declined sharply in 1932; the
average is now about $800. In four
schools it is as low as $600. Teach-
ers have accepted the situation cheer-
fully, recognizing the .profitless re -
urns of the ratepayers' work. The sal-
aries in the urban schools have, as a
rule, suffered 'li'ttle as yet, being large-
ly stabilized 'by the salaries paid Sec-
ondary School teachers.
!Salaries in the townships should not
in any case drop below $700 as at
$600 there can be no government
grant arad below $600they will not
receive the full amount of the town-
ship grant
IThere have been no new 'buildings
erected this year though a few are
badly needed; but I recognize the •fact
that they must wait for better times,
A few schools undertook some re-
pairs and improvements; most of the
school property is in excellent condi-
tion and the equipment and accom-
modations are well +maintained; the
average of the caretaking has been
much improved. The 'sum of $523 was
spent on 'Libraries, the -total 'value of
which is $9925.
The schools in 'East Huron are in
excellent financial condition; the full
amount of the.to'wnship grant and the
special levy has been paid and the
balance carried over to the present
year is pnactically the same as last,
which was $75,.750. !Some schools have
sufficient to carry them en for two
years without any school levy what-
ever; it might be sound policy for
them to reduce their .'balances during
these trying times. The urban School
Boards operate with little or no bal-
ance carried over from the preceding
year.
An excellent School Pair was held
at ;Belgrave in which eight schools
participated; on account of their edu-
cational .value they should be kept uip.
They should be revived at Walton,
Ethel and IBluevale +which are excel-
lent community centres. There, if
anywhere, parents come in contact
with the work of the schools and
share in their activities.
Music is taught in the schools of.
'Clinton, ,Seaforth, 'Wingham, Brussels
and Ethel and a few rural schools;
all who had an opportunity to listen
to their singing will recognize •the
value of the work being done, From.
the inquiries I receive from rural
schools, the teaching of music would
become more general, if it were not,
for the difficulty of getting qualified
instructors. The government grant, as
is bhe case of all special subjects, is
generous.
•I believe that the chief obs'tacles to
a better system in •our rural schools
are the small school .and the separate
units of administration. 'In the im-
mediate neighbourhood of .Blyth .are
four rural •schools wit,h an aggregate
attendance of 29, all of which could
easily be accommodated in .Blyth
without increasing the staff; a similar
condition exists at Walton and else-
where. A'dmitted'ly,the teac'h'ing .in e
graded school has advantages over
that in one ungraded; the financia''
considerations are unquestionable.
With a township :Board, we should
have uniform accommodations, • we
should not find an uncamfprtahleand
u'nattrac'tive school in one ,section and
in the adjoining one a school in
which the ratepayers take .pride.
Salaries wouldl be more uniform
teachers could he placed ,where they
could -do the best work. Trustees, 'I be -
ng fewer in i umber,'coul•d be 'kept' it'
•loser touch with educational change'
