- From West Sandling comes the
following, written on December 14th:
"The box reached ane in first class
condition and verything was select.
I appreciate very much the kindness
and it is certainly good to know that
we have not been forgotten by the
people of our good old home town."
A soldier from Shorncliffe writes
on December 14th: "The box reached
me in A 1 conditioneand believe me it
did not last very long, as there were
about a dozen boys in, the hut when
I opened nt and we always share up
with each other."
A letter from Digbate Plains says:
The box was lovely. I can't thank
u enough. Say the sugar was great.
We never see any sugar here from
one month's end to the ofher—every-
cne is on rations. I had everything
so sweet for a while my teeth were
aching.'
One of the Nursing Sisters writes
on December 16th: "The box arrived
in splendid shape yesterday and I am
delighted with the content. I must
admit that I could not resist sampling
the cake and candy, even if Christ-
mas is almost two weeks off yet. Ev-
erything was So well packed and
know there were many kind thoughts
packed with the parcel. The sugar
was especially acceptable, as our su-
gar rations at present, are small and
likely to be smaller."
Another Sister - writes: "The box
arrived in perfect condition. It means
much to be remembered by the people
of Seaforth when so far away from
home. Everything was most delight-
ful and all useful—The food we de-
voured. The short bread was delic-
iouo and above all the sugar, fer that
with us is a decided luxury

the following of December 17th: "The

er with a temporary certificate was
employed for part of last term. Quali-
fied teachers are scarce. Two schools
have not secured teachers for 1918.

taught laitear as provided in the
regulations by twenty teachers They
report that the pupils having home
gardens to work do better in the other
subjects of the school cause Reports
of the year's instruction and practical
work in agrichlture are sent to the
department by each teacher for ap-
portionment of the grants. Eight
sections received a grant for the 1916
work, the highest being paid to school

whose teacher received $40 and the
board 1$21.
The Teachers and Inspector's -Oup-
erannuation Act; passed in 1917,
re-
quires that 2% per cent, of every
teacher's salary be added annually to
the superannuation fund. For con-
venience in collecting the teacher's as-
sessment, the Department deducts the
amount of the year's dues from the
Legislative grants payable to the
school boards. The boards recoup
themselves by retaining 2% per cent,•
of all payments due the teacher,.
There are 10 fifth class schools qual-
ified to share in the Legislatiw and
Municipal grants-, St. Helens, Kintail,
Dungannon, Bayfield, Zurich, Dash -
