WINGHAM MAN
IN TROUBLE
As he was trying to get a refund on
'two railway tickets for Calgary at the
ticket office in Galt on Monday, Cal-
vin Cruickshanks, aged 24 of Wing -
ham, was arrested by Chief Constable
Boyd of Galt, on a charge.. of theft
•of, $1,500 from Mrs. Noreul Fleich-
.a.rner, a widow of Milverton, Ont.
Ctuikshanks, a married man, with
:a wife and family at Atwood,, was
employed as a hired man' on the farm
-of • the complaint. For the past
year, Cruickshanks looked after the
:farm, and, according to the police, de-
voted his evenings to telling the wi-
,dow' of how . they could leave the
farm, go to San Francisco and. be-
•come wealthy. His rosy pictures of
life in the Golden West and its won,
•derful opportunities attracted the wo-
man..
Mrs, Fleichamer had $1,800 cash in
the bank ,from an -insurance policy
left by her husband. Last week she
,•drew the money from the bank and
-purchased two tickets to San Fran -
.cisco. The farm 'was left in charge
of her brother. When the couple
•reached- the United States border at
Detroit, immigration authorities re-
fused to admit them, and they came
ibacle to Toronto.
Cruickshanks hadthe railway tick-
ets changed for tickets to Calgary
last Thursday. The couple register-
ed in a downtown hotel. During the
-night, while the woman slept, Crnick-
•shanks is alleged to have entered her
room and, taking her purse from be-
neath the pillow, removed $1,500 of
-the $1,800 and departed.
The woman was taken by the hotel
proprietor to the detective' office,
where a warrant was sworn out for
Crtiickshank's :arrest. --Globe.

HURON RATEPAYERS AND TRUSTEES ASSOC.
WANT CHILDREN KEPT ON FARM
The fifth annual convention of the
Huron County Association of Trust-
ees and Ratepayers was held on Sat-
urday, November 2nd in the Council
Chamber• of the Town Hall, Wing-
ham, with the hall comfortably filled,
the presence of a goodly number of
ladies being an encouraging feature.
William Archibald, president of the
Association, occupied the chair.
The minutes of the meeting of a
year ago were read by the secretary,
Mrs. R. Davidson, and adopted as
read on motion of E. C. Beacom, I.
P.S.; for West Huron,., aiid Mr. E.
Fulton.
The president, in his address, said
that it is a question of vital interest
to provide education suitable; for the
boys and girls who intend to make
farming their life work, While he
thought itwise .to leave the road open
for those who wished to attend col-
lege, he believed the road to college
was rade almost too attractive as it
is not ui thebest interests of:. the
country to have so many of the,
youth ; of the land leave the farrns
to make their life work along profes-
sional lines. He thought the situa-
tion was almost tragic. With up'-
wards of $70,000" being spent in the
county, annually, for secondary edu-
cation, the rural people have little
voice in saying how this money
should be spent, which is entirely
contrary to the principles of democ-
racy. It should be the chief object
of the people to provide suitable sub-
jects of study on the curriculum in
secondary schools for the rural child..
He paid fitting tribute to the pio-
neers, who endured much hardship
in hewing out homes for themselves
and their families, front the wilder-
ness of forest once crowning our
fair land, only to have these same
homes and farms deserted today ow-

ially invited.

courses, in which two years of high
school work would be taken in the
public schools and two years of work
now taken in University would be
taken in the Collegiates, the idea be-
ing to bring edtication closer to the
homes. In the sparsely settled dis-
tricts, the idea has been evolved of
bringing travelling schools to the.
children. The more closely we can.
get in touch with education, the
greater benefit will be derived.
He spoke of the present situation
when boys and girls leave home so'
early,in life to goto cities and towns
for secondary education, and believ-
ed that the home environment would
be preserved by the new proposal of
bringing high school work and uni-
versity work nearer home. As to
how it would be arranged; he was not
prepared to say. Perhaps, instead of
introducing the system into all col-
legiate institutes, certain central
schools in counties would be selected.
and these endowed with facilities for
additional courses. What now costs
from $450 to $500 per pupil in the
university •could be done in; colleg-
iates for from $135 to $150 Per pupil.
If the two years' course now taught
in: Collegiates reverted to public
schools there would be a reduction
in cost to probably not more than
$40 per pupil. It would necessitate
two -room schools in most cases, as
he knew from experience that, in a
school with one teacher, the fifth
class took the lion's share of the tea-
cher's time to the neglect of the jun-
ior classes of the school.
There would be difficulties in the
way, but the principle is good, and
difficulties could be surmounted, and
the greater number of pupils taking
the courses would make it worth
while. A larger unit of administra-
tion might provide dental clinics,
THE . TIGHTWAD WINS
A 'tightwad is not generally a pop-
ular chap, although he may have
many attractive qualifications, but the
Tightwad portrayed in the play in
tithe town hall on Friday evening; ley
the A. Y. P. A. of, St. George's chur-
ch, Goderich, was altogether of an-
other nature. This young group made
a splendid presentation, and two or
three of the cast deserve all the fav-
.orable criticisms. Mrs. Fred. Sturdy
•on three hours notice, took the part
of Mrs. John Taylor, owing to the
illness of Miss Gladys Ginn, and gave
a good interpretation of a tired and
-tactful mother. Major Fred Sturdy
as the tightwad, carried off some
trying situations with a natural, ease;
readily accepted dinner: invitations
and cigars from his prospective' fath-
er-in-law, but showed ,a real human
streak when he trade good with Ms
investments.
Will Sturdy, knew many of the
brusk abruptness of a tired book-
keeper, and the father of two hope-
' Mess present day children, whose main.
ambitions were clothes and a good.
time. Miss Ruth Cormier captivated
the hearts of the audience by a real.
naturalness in her acting,' and of her
persuasive manner not only with her
boy friend, who sacrificed much, but
with her father, who naturally con
eluded her ways were best. Mrs. R.
C. Hayes ,proved a common type of
pleasure seeking and money -hunting
girl, whose interests ended when ad-
versity came, and showed it with erne
phasic, Lionel Dunsdon, her friend,

COUNCIL PREPARES
FOR NOMINATIONS
Wnigham town council dealt with
a number of rather insignificant mat-
ters on Monday night that occupied
considerable time. Mrs. Rapp of
Walkerton, suggested that the town
should provide for her during the en-
forced absence of her husband in Go-
derich.. Council declined with thanks
and the County town of Bruce will be
given the honour.
Women's Hospital Auxiliary were
granted a rebate of hall rent for eu-

not without expression of general
feeling by council,that some new sys:

that recognition should be made in a

Canada today is spending :millions
of dollars annually for research, and
he wished to impress upon the sec-
retaries and trustees his willingness
to co-operate with them in supply-
ing them with material along this
line which would be of educative val-
ue in the schools. He touched upon
the splendid work of school fairs,
and stated that there is a new gen-
eration arising. Public opinion must
necessarily be moulded to coincide
With . changed conditions., Education
must be practical in this age, he said,.
Rev: H. W. Snell, who is president
of the Ontario Educational Associa-
tion of Trustees and Ratepayers, and
who is now principal of the Mohawk
Institute at Brantford, was the next
speaker. He found it difficult to
choose a subject for his address, as
at the present time, so many ideas are
being put forward for the promotion
and betterment of education. The
Department of -Education is inviting
criticism rather than destructive criti-
receiving a good deal of constructive
criticsm rather ,than destrt'ietive crib-.
cisco as formerly. The searchlight of
criticism' has been turned upon the
educational system, with the result'
that more suitable plans are being
evolved for the promotion of educa-
tional work throughout the Provinee.
The Township School Bard Bill,al-
though not meeting with general ap-
proval seemed to be the solution of
the difficulty. County School boards
also had been suggested, and now
comes a later proposal by. the Min-
ister of Education which he proceed-
ed to explain, although not as yet
convinced of the best way of carry-
ing out the idea.
He spoke of the mini'ster's propo-
sal to have a re -arrangement of
The public are warned that the fire
siren will be blown every Saturday
morning 'hereafter at 10 o'clock. This
is for test purposes only,
Mr: Snell's address. He told of the
instruction in agriculture whichhad
been introduced into Goderich ,Col-
legiate this year for the first time.
He believed in giving the training
that would fit the child for .farming.
At present, owing to the lack of co-
operation between school boards no
special instructions could be given.
He spoke of the increasing inter-
est being taken in the country for
musical instruction in the schools,
citing several centres where, with
tate surrounding group of schools, it
is being carried out with much suc-
cess, He outlined the generous
grants given by the Department of
Education both in music and agri-
culture, as wellas for household sci-
ence, school lunches, libraries, etc.
He advocated snaking, the school and
its surroundings the beauty spot of
the 'community, and deplored the fact
that school grounds and buildings are
often so unattractive.
The` treasurer's report was read
and adopted, and the election of of=-
ficers took place, which resulted in
the former officers of the association
being re-elected. They are: Presi-
dent, William Archibald, Seaforth;
first' vice-president, E. Fulton, �Brus-
sels; 2nd vice-president, Mr, McKel-
lar, Seaforth; secretary -treasurer,
Mrs. R. Davidson, Dungannon.' The
place of meeting for the convention
next year was discussed, and the
question was left in the hands of the
executive to decide. Heretofore the
meetings were held in Clinton, which
is a more central place, and it is be
-
toted that a larger representaiton
would be present at that centre, The
president asked for the support of alt
in making the convention of next
year a success. Mr. Fulton was ap-
pointed as a delegate to attend the
district convention to be held at
Guelph on Saturday, November 9th.

ST. ANDREW'S ANNI-
VERSARY SERVICES
Last Sunday will long be remem-
bered by the large congregations in
St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church
through the eloquent and impressive
message brought by Rev. Mr. Bar-
clay of Hamilton at the anniversary
services. In the morning he spoke
on the development of Christian life
or character. 'This does not come
spasmodically. nor at once, but by
gradual development, a persistent
faithful following of the example set
by the San of God. As the Bible
says: "Precept upon precept, deed
upon deed; here a little and there
a little." His message in the even-
ing was one of great inspiration to
the true believer.
Floral decorations around the pul-
pit suggested a kindly interest by
lovers of the chard -to while the choir
rendered special anthems that lent
much to• the pleasure of the services.
A free-will offering amounted to
$1,000,00:
The pleasing success of the services
in every way is a matter of great sat-
isfaction, especially as the pastor,
Rev, D. Petrie, is away in the West,
on an official visit.
