T. i.Observations 1 Genera The Bank of FLamiltoil, an institu- tion of fifty-one .year's standing, is, added to the list of the dead this week. ** * It used to ire "What is home with- out a mother?" 'Since the Bank fail- ure it will novo. be "What is .Hosie without a dollar?" Surely there is no need of urging motorists to use ' the Golden Rule system on the road. No one has any use for the fellow with plenty of gold armd a big car' who "hogs" the centre of the road, and who believes that "gold rules." ** Here's a free tip for the school. t nurses, as they will shortly enter on their arduous work, When they find a child short in stature, instead of pre- scribing oatmeal, order yeast --it's good for raising. Likewise, for the 'tall ones, prescribe lard—it's shorten= tug ** is often near and: yet so far." It remarked by those who meet friends in distant parts of the world, that. af- ter all . the world is small. But the experience of Mrs. Robertson, of Cro- marty, restored to a long lost brother, who was living at Hensall, only ten e first miles away, is evidence that ,the saying is sometimes true. The nail carrier may not be liter- ary, and yet -he is a man of letters. The London Free Press last Friday had an' editorial headed, "Wake Up, Ottawa," the object of which was to 'arouse the King Government from its lethargy to a sense of its responsibil- ty to the people and prevent, if pos- sible a serious fuel shortage this A -in- ter, But surely the astute .editor of, the' Free Press mast know that he might better try to awaken old King Tutankhamen from the sleep of thir- ty centuries, than the Ottawa Govern-- ment to anything that is for the coun- try's good. It k fast asleep on the fuel question, on the emigration ques- tion, on the defense question. It is wide awake only in adding to the colossal Dominion debt, by building political docks and breakwaters and other publicworks, and in re-estab- lishing the patronage system with all its abuses. In theory, the Canadian form of government is that ideal form spoken of by Abrahamas overn- g Lincoln. ment of the people, by the people, for the people, hut will any one, even the most ardent grit, rise and tell tis what the Ottawa Government is doing for the people that is at all commensur- ate with its cost to the country. The vigor with which the Washing- ton Government is moving to prevent a coalfamine m f tin • i m the States,ought ht tc arouse the King government to ac- tion. because it is to Washington, ra- ther than to London that Messrs. King & Co. look for their iuspiratlan and their ideals. The. Hon. Howard Ferguson, speaking in Toronto this week, said he hoped to simplify the subjects taught in the public schools. The chit dren listening must have given a sigh of relief at the words, If the Premier can wipe away the fads that have crept into the school system of recent years and bring it back to the ele- mentary education that provides for everyday life, he will have done much . for future generations. ** The present regulation of 'the De- partment of Education, that the re- sults of the mid -summer examina- tions should be sent to the principals only, quite often proves a hardship to the waiting candidates. After writ- ing on their papers, at best they have a long wait for the results. It is only fair that the department should see that this period be as short as possible. Very often there is a change of principals and more often still the principal is away for his va- cation and in either case results in de- lay. This occurred in Seaforth this year with the Lipper School. The late principal, Mr. O'Neil, had resigned and had left town, yet the certificates were sent to him, They lay here for two days in the post office when Mr. O'Neil phoned from Brantford to have them forwarded to him. He then checked them over and returned them to the Secretary of the Collegiate, onlyarriving here on Wednesday at 6 p.m. The News has to thank Mr. DeLacey for promptly letting it Meow they arrived. Now this difficulty could all be avoided by the Department simply sending the certificates to the Secre- tary of the Collegiate in the first place, who is the proper person to. receive these results. That Seaforth is not the only town that has suffered from the unsatisfac- tory manner " of sending results, is clear from the following item from the last issue of the Mitchell Advo- cate:' "UPPER SCHOOL RESULTS." "The students who wrote on the Lipper School papers at the Mitchell High school have been notified individually of their re- spective standing. Several have. called at the Advocate office for the purpose of making compari- sott, but up to the present we have not received the report, Mr. Wightnman, late principal of the 'Mitchell High school, has over- Iooked the Advocate and we are at a loss to know from what other source the report' may be had," The entrance results are mailed to every paper inthe county before the certificates are sent out. Since the report of high school exams: for the province are too bulkyr to [ uhlish in the daily papers, surely the Depart, meat could'.fo.0ow the lead of the entrance board and send a report to 'the local papers in each town or city as soon as the resultsare known, leaving the certificates to come later, .To this way the:. candidates would be free from suspense ''three 'or four weeks sootier.

Mrs. Oliver Turnbull spent the reek with her sister, Mrs, Glazier, Stratford. • John Buchanan has purchased a threshing outfit and has started work- ing. J.

Mr, and Mrs, • Ecl, Clark, of 'Lis- awel,. who have been spending a few holidays during the past week with friends in this locality, returned home again. A carload of horses were shipped from here recently, rax }•Iow sad it is when a man who has. been a familiar and respected figure on the streetsof.-a town for more than fifty years is blotted out as sud- denly as was Dr. Scott last Friday af- ternoon and it is well that still be was much needed. And how strange that a man who had been spared through all the vi- cissitudes of life for more than four score year's, should not have been permitted to end his life in a natural ways Siete the sad event of last Friday, people have been -remarking on the kindly, genial disposition of the Doc- tor, and 'on the fact that he always spoke well and not ill of any one whose flame came up in conversation.. This is a nice testimony. May we each so live that the :same may be said of us. The writer feels that he has suf- fered a personal loss, for it was al- ways a delight to meet the Doctor and he- e a chat with him—a privilege which he (the writer) will never more enjoy, in this world at least, Dr. Scott's bereaved relatives have the deep sympathy of the entire com- munity. There is no complaint these days about lack of rain, The frequent showers have revived and freshened the parched vegetation, so that the landscape looks as if Nature had ap- plied no it a coat of green paint: Per- sons of an agricultural turn of mind and body, say that as yet we have not had too much moisture. Grain that is .cut and stooked is taking no harm, while root crops are being benefited, The Rural School Fair. The Rural School. Fair which is held in nearly every section of the country, will be taking place uext month and is always an outstanding event in the lives of the children. Those who got seeds or eggs from the department last spring and have been taking care of their own gardens or chickens throughout the summer months are confidently looking for- ward to carrying off many prizes when Fair Day comes. And good luck to them all, for they deserve the re- ward for their labor, 13tit right here is a point worth watching --what about the children who have neglected their plots and poultry and have nothing to: exhibit? The parents of many of these youngsters will do them inesti- mable harm by letting them show vegetables from the home garden or chickens from the home roost in place of what they should have raised them- selves. The fathers and big brothers will make bird -houses and other'man- ual training articles and' the mothers and big sisters will dress dolls and bake cakes which will be shown as the sole work of the child. Thus the child' gets his first lesson in dis- honesty, and all for the sake of a few dollars prize money And the example is far-reaching, too, as the youngster mvimo has tried honestly to do his best this year, will next year try tee get aonie older person to help him be- cause"the other ,kids do," The School Fair is a great power for good throughout the country and the man- agers and directors arenot to blame for this phase of it. The teachers can help a little by trying to instil the right motives into the minds of the pupils, but the root of the matter lies in the homewhere' every child should be taught. the 'fundamental principles of being an honest winner or a game loser.
