Of London School, repre eleted
the Department. There were 130
teachera present. The veteran seere-
tary, Mir. W. H. Johnston, after 41
years of a lecesaful teaching, has re-
tired from theprofession and becolnea
a citizen of Exeter. It ill the wish
of all members of the Institute that
he may be long spared to enjoy his
superannuation.
The usual uniform promotion ex-
aminations, the high school `entrance
examinations, and the public school
graduation examinations were held lea
1920. The results were generally
satisfactory, moat of the schools do-
ing excellent work.
The fifth class schools are doing a
valuable work in the smaller centres
and deserve the continued support of
the county council.
All the schools were visited twice
during the year. -J. Elgin Tom:

THE COUNTY COUNCIL
(Continued from Page 1)
left to the County Property Com-
mittee: --Carried.
Moved by Messrs. Tiplirig and
Porter that a committee, composed
of Messrs. Young, Currie and Mc-
Nabb, be appointed to take up the
matter of the hospitals. -Carried.
Rev. James Hamilton was, on mo-
tion of Messrs. ('lark and Webb,
appointed trustee of Goderich Col-
legiate Institute.
After singing the National Anthem
on motion of Messrs.Erwin and Clark
the council adjourned to meet on the
'first Tuesday in June.
West Huron Inspectorate,
The year 1920 was a year of sub-
stantial progress. The teachers were
faithful and zealous in the perform-
ance of their duties. The neatness
ar'd accuracy of the work done by
pupils and teachers indicated the
careful training the girls and boys
were receiving. Special attention is
being given to reading, writing, spel-
ling and practical arithmetic.
The deportment of ,the pupils was
gratifying and the physical exercises
were generally well done.
The greater attention given to
singing and ,o the study of agricul-
ture were pleasing features of the
past year.
It seemed to be the desire of the
teachers to show their appreciation
of the increase in salaries, by a great-
er service, giving the pupils a more
liberal education.
There are 1u6 sections, 106 school
houses, and 1:14 teachers, of whom 20
are men and 114 women, The certi-
ficates held are 10 first, 122 seconds,
1 third and 1 temporary.
In the rurai schools, 2 teachers re-
ceive $1,500 salary, 41 receive from
$1,000 to $1,:3(,0, 27 get from 3900 to
61,000, :37 from $000 to $900, and 3
receive less than $800.
Of the urban teachers, 2 receive
$1,400 salary, 5 get from $1,000 to
$1.300: 3 gest $900 to $1,000, 13 re-
ceive $800 to $900, and one receives
less than 3800.
The regular Legislative grants to
rural schools, on salaries and certifi-
cates, amounted to $7,236.09, and the
special grants, only on salaries,
amounted to 34,226.20.
The special grants and the meth-
ods of apportioning them have been
the means of securing the pleasing
increases in the salaries of rural
teachers, and also indirectly the ma-
terial increases in the salaries of
urban teachers.
Several of the school houses now
being used, are worn out, being un-
comfortable, not worth repairing.
There are many schools with 10 to
20 pupils that might easily be united
with the neighboring schools to form
a consolidated school to the advantage
of all the sections. School boards
hesitate to build a new school for a
few pupils or. account of the strong
sentiment ir. favor of consolidated
Schools. '
In September, 1920, the ratepayers
of sections 2, 4 and 7, Colborne, un-
animously voted for the formation of
a consolidated school section. The
election of the Trustee Board quickly
followed and arrangements made for
building the new school house, whieh
it is expected will be completed by
September 1, 1921. 14he school will
open with an attendance of 50 to 60
pupils in charge of two teachers.
There will be provision for additional
teachers 111 may be necessary.
The Benmiller Consolidated School
will give a practical test of the cost
and the feasibility of transporting
. pupils over hilly roads and through
deep snow ir. winter. Although it
will be a severe test, the men of this
district are the kind to make it a
success. Benmiller should be the
first of many consolidations in this
Inspectorate. There are several lo-
calities where a consolidated section
could be easily and profitably formed.
The School Attendance Act, 1919,
took effect from the first day of
January, 1921. The Adolescent School
attendance act, 1919, will come into
effect as follows: Section 3, on Sep-
tember 1, 1921; Section 7, on Sep-
tember 1, 1923; and section 9, on
September 1, 1922.
The report forms for the attend-
ance officers and for the teachers are
sent by the Education Department to
the municipal clerks to be distributed
to the o*tcers and to the teachers.
The teachers shall report monthly
to the attendance offrcer the name, etc.
of all the pupils not complying with
the Act. The attendance officer shall
report1monthly to the body appointing
him. Copies of the. above named acts
. are sent to the Secretary of the Sec-
tion for the Board and for the
teacher.
The School Acts were revised by
the Legislature during the session of
1920. A copy of the revised Act will
eat to the
Secretaryof each
be s
School Board, to be the property of
the Board, and for the use of the
Secretary and members of the Board.
Successful school fairs were held at
Belgrave, Cai0ow, Crediton, Dash-
wood, Porter's Hill and St. Helens,
under the supervision of the District
Agricultural Representative, who has
made these fairs popular and ednca-
tive.„ There should be a school fair
' in every rural municipality. If once
started the pupils and parents would
desire to mhke their fair an annual
event.
The 'West Huron Teachers' Institute

is visiting her brothers, Benjamin and
Andrew Snell. --Mrs. Ernest Adams
was visiting Seaforth friends last
ase hoots; in the first term there were week.
122 teachers and in the fall term
119, the decrease being due to a
ower
,.tteridance in Clinton, Ethel and S.
S No. 8, McKillop, each of which
reduced its staff of one.
Of rhe 119 teachers in the second
terms. 7 had first class certificates,
105 second class, 3 third class 2
kindergarten and 2 temporary certifi-
cates. At the beginning of the year
the grading was eumewhat higher,
and 9 had first class certificates and
only two below second class. Sixteen
men were teaching at the close of the
year.
Several schools were again closed
from two to four weeks on account
of an outbreak of the "Flu" or other
contagious disease; as the prutnotion
exerninations were postponed until
the end of June at the term of the
Entrance examination, it gave teach-
ers and pupils an opportunity fdr in-
creased effort to stake up for the'
time they lost.
A new school was built in S. 2.
No. 8, 3j, cKillop, this year; it is a
large brick building, attractive in
appearance, Loth inside and out. with
furnace, basement and inside closets.
The cost was about $8,000. The
Model School in Clinton underwent
extensive alterations; hall; and cloak
r ,v, were added, and ;. steam beat-
ing plant, and sanitary closet.; with
,uptic tanks were installed, and the
oindows in thevarious chess -rooms
messed en the left side of the pupils,
so as to provide better lighting. Many
of the rural school; were repaired
during the rummer months and the
class r000:s lecorate•d and thus made
n -.,r• -r attractive to tha pupils.
Salaries advanced very sharply at
midsummer, much beyond the exppc
-
totiwn ,.f most teachers. Trustees, as
tele, nrognized that the ,alaries of
a• :de r, most rile as in ,t her nccu 1,-
ti,ws, but theimmediate cause of the
sodden jump was the bonus grant on
higher salaries offered by the Govern-
ment. As it was thought passible to
shift the burden. advances have been
general, .n that $1,000 to $1,200 is a
'.minion salary in atuSt of the town-
ships.
The Government grants assigned
to East Huron for public school pur-
poses amounted to $7.397.95, with a
small amount yet to come. Of this
amount $2,212.50 was the supplement-
ary or bonus gran on salaries. Of
this sum, Hawick township received
81.1190 and McKillop township only
940. These sums deem rather insig-
nificant when one eonsidcrs that
$400,0)10 was voted by the Government
for this purpose. The grant is much
higher, for weak see'tdnns, as there is
only onesection in East Huron with
an assessment below $100;)00. The
grants have, consequently, net come
this way.
A change was made this year in
the money provided for each school
section nut of the taxes levied over
the whole township; instead of a
grant of 3300, where there is only
one teacher or 8500 where there are
two teachers. the grant is now $600
and $1,000 respectively. The object
has been to equalize the burden, thus
taking away the advantage that larg-
er sections formerly had in the rate
for school taxes.
The Adolescent School Attendance
Act, passed in 1919, the operation of
which was in the meantime suspend-
ed, will come into partial operation
in September of .this year, and into
full operation in the two years suc-
ceeding. By its provisions, every
child between 14 and 16 years of age
shall attend school for the full time
during which the schools of the mun-
icipality in which he resides are open
each year, unless excused for certain
reasons. It will mean that all suck
children, must attend some high or
continuation school, or provision must
be made for their instruction in the
home section. It will be worth con-
sidering how the enforcement of this
Act will be supported in the rural
school sections; officers have been ap-
pointed by the township councils to
secure the enforcement of the Attend-
ance Act.
Eight school fairs were held
this year covering almost the whole
Inspectorate. There is increasing in-
terest shown by pupils and parents in
these fairs and their educational value
is being more and more realized.
Children in schools not thus associate
feel keen disappointment that they
have not the privileges of neighbor-
ing schools.
There were 349 candidates at the
Entrance examination. Of these 281.
or over 80 per cent. passed, of which
111 took honors. This is somewhat
better than the average and may be
taken as one of the evidences of a
good year's work. The High and
Continuation Schools were equally
successful at the Departmental ex-
aminations.
While the question of Consolidated
schools has not been as active an
issue this year as Last, .the interest
has not abated and several centres
are looking fortheir
establishment
By regulations passed this year, the
Government grants for Consolidated
Schools have been increased 50 per
cent. Almost the only objection now
remaining is the uncertainty of over-
coming the difficulties of transporting
the children to school in winter.
All the schools were visited twice,
as required by the regulations, ex-
cept two that were closed. Several
additional visits were made to other
schools. I _Also assisted at all the
school fairs held in my Inspectorate.

wedding was solemnized at the hone
of Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Blake, seventh
concession, on Wednesday evening,
February 2nd, at six o'clock, when
their only daughter, Evelyn Mildred,
was united in marriage to Mr. David
McLean, only eon of Mr. John Mt
Lean, (Riverside). The ceremony
was performed in the drawing room
under an arch decorated with white
lilies by Rev, S. McLean, of Egtnond-
ville, the young couple being unat-
tended. The bride, who was given
away by her father, looked very
charming and was beautifully gown-
