SCHOOL INSPECTOR ADDRESSED MEETING The Trustees' and Ratepayers' meeting held in Gorrie School by In- spector J. M. Game, of W al,kerton, last Wednesday evening was well at- tended, and those present were re- warded by receiving the latest wrink- les in educational matters. The In- spector is a fluent talker, and helped to straighten out many tngles for the Howick trustees: The speaker first showed how Ag- riculture was helpful even in •rural, schools, and the sections themselves benefited by Government Grants of from $4.00 to :$35.00, depending on whether .pupils' plots were at home or at school, also on the certificate of the teacher. Only five rural schools in his inspectorate, he said, did not teach agriculture, and four of these were in Howick Township. • The school grants which had been subject to a 20 per cent, cut last year, would be lessened, Mr. Game hoped, to a 10 per cent. cut this year, but of this he was not positive. The Inspector was especiallykeen to have more music taught in all pub- lic schools music seemed neglected, and this seemed a pity, amid people who boasted Scotch and German par- entage. To some children,- music would mean more than Geography or History. The music grant on equip- ment and salary was now 50 per cent for a maximum of $80.00 and a $20.00 minimum. The school official prefer- red a special teacher of music to get better results. He stressed the importance for children to attend school until the age of 14 was reached. If they were urgently needed at home the school attendance officer could issue a six weeks' permit, with extensions poss- ible. He did not see 'the, need of fifth classes in rural schools when excel- lent Continuation Schools were close at hand. Mr. Game paid tribute to the good work of the local school attend- ance officer, Mrs. Knight. The Inspector believed the school should do more in teaching health habits .to children. Improvements in. hygiene were needed, and in this •re- gard the schools should lead `the com- munity. He complimented the work of Miss Margaret Doig in personal hygiene for her pupils. The speaker gave some startling figures re equipment• in rural schools, showing plainly a marked deficiency in many lines. He frankly stated that there were two or three Howick schools badly equipped and hoped for improvement soon. Out of 78 rural schools he visits, three had no map of Canada, four had no reap, of On- tario, twenty had 'no flag, thirty-five no flag -pole, twelve no yard -stick, and nine had no dictionary. He wanted baseball, football, swings and slides placed in the rural schools and expenditures on this form of equipment would be approved by trustees for grant purposes. GRAND VALLEY WON BALL GAME The baseball game held in the park Gorrie, on Monday evening between the Grand Valley Mohawks and the local team, resulted in a score of 11-8 in favor of the visiting team. How- ever, our boys are coming along, and it was a good game, everybody play- ing good ball. The visiting team got the lead by scoring five runs in one inning, there having been a •tie 4-4 for quite a while before, This made it •hard for the Gorrie team to even up again, but both teams had real good umpires. Thenext game will be in Listowel Saturday evening.. The game in Harriston on Friday night last in which only seven innings were played, resulted in •a score of 14-9 for Harriston, WROXETER After June 9th and until further notice . the Wroxeter Chopping Mill will be closed except Tuesday, Thurs- day and Saturday of each week --John R.

Prevent This Condition with Kellogg's ALL -BRAN The first question your doctor asks is whether you are constipated or not. He knows that this condi- tion may cause headaches, loss of appetite and energy, sleeplessness. It is often the starting point of serious illness. You can prevent and relieve corm mon constipation so easily. Just eat a delicious cereal once a day. Laboratory tests show that Kel- logg's ALL -BRAN provides "bulk" and vitamin B to aid regular hab- its. ALL -BRAN is also a rich source of blood -building iron. The "bulk" in ALL -BRAN is much like that found in leafy vegetables. Within the body, it forms a soft mass. Gently, it clears out the in- testinal wastes. Isn't this "cereal way"'safer and far more pleasant than taking pat- ent medicines — so often harmful? Two tablespoonfuls of ALL -BRAN daily are usually sufficient. With each meal in chronic cases. If se- riously ill, see your doctor—ALL- BRAN is not a "cure-all." Enjoy ALL -BRAN as a cereal, or use in cooking. Get the red -and - green package at your grocer's.
