(in all sides it is being latated that the Government has appointed a good board, and has secured, one of the biggest available nattier ; head it.. The promise,omen to giving the National Railway Syste' l a chance .of making good under proper business management has been carried out and thea country is well. pleased with the government's action,. The new board -hap held 'its -first meeting, and with; the return of the President and General Manager, Sir Henry W. Thornton„ from Engand, will be in a posiltiop to get right down to business,. • The two railway systems are to be properly co-ordin- ated and managed as one great na- tional system, which, in the words of the new general manager, it is hoped to make a greet national .asset. That the new beard was given an absolutely free hand in the manage- ment of the system was again em- phasized by Hon. George P. Graham acting Minister of $ailways, in a statement following'therfirst meeting of the new board at'To>agnto. The board itself will decide as to the vexed question of mmving the head- quarters of the system from Toron- to, and also they will decide 'as to the appointment of vice-presidents and operating officials. During the week lion; James Robb, Minister of Trade and Commerce, has started on the first leg of his long journey to negotiate. a' trade agree- ment with the Government of Aus- tralia. This time there will be no wasted time when the Canadian Minister arrives in the Antipodes. The jour- ney of Mr. Robb was in doubt for a time and was not finally arranged until Premier Hughes, of Australia, had cabled definitely that his govern- ment would be prepared to proceed with the negotiations • (the moment the Canadian Minister landed. The result of the journey, it is expected, will be the development of a wider trade relation between two sections of the Empire, to their mutual bene- fit 4 * * Northern Ontario's ,tee ' tragedy and the need of assistaiiee to suf- ferers from the Federal Government, met with a ready response at the hands of Premier King and his col- leagues: The Minister of Militia and Defence, Hon. G. P. Graham remain- ed at -his office practically the whole of one night, while the tragedy in the Temiskaming area was at its height; personally seeing that tents, blankets and other necessaries, were being provided for the sufferers. The Cabinet dealt with the situation next morning and before the end of the day were able to announce that they had been able to fill every demand for assistance made upon the govern- ment. ,Sufferers on the Quebec side of the line were also given relief in the form of blankets and tents as required, and the suffering of those unfortunate enough to lose their homes was greatly mitigated by the prompt action of the Federal Gov- ernment departments. * * • A noticeable degree of improvement in the Post Office Department through the application of business principles, was brought to the notice of the pub- lic forcibly through the holding of the conference of Post Office Depart- ment officials last week. Suggestions for the further betterment of the postal service and for the improve- ment of the morale and esprit de corps of the men and women in the service were made by the delegates, who came from all parts of the Dominion at the invitation of Hon. Charles Murphy, the Postmaster General, and such as were consider- ed feasible after debate were slated to receive further consideration. Many of these will probably be brought into effect, thereby bringing about some needed reforms in the service. Since the taking over of the department by Lion. Mr. Murphy, however, there has already been a noticeable improvement in many of its branches and services, and the conference of last week is expected to lend to still further advances. * 9 * The death of Ilon. T. A. Stewart, former Minister of Railways and Canals in the Meighen Government, caused profound regret among his fellow -parliamentarians on both sides of the House. The late Mr. Stewart was well liked by all members of the House and was highly regarded both as an executive and as a de- bater. His death brings about a vac- ancy in the House which may pos- sibly he filled bcf, ro the opening of the next parliament. e « • Canada's immigration law in so far as it affects the transportation com- panies, has been under review dur- ing the last few days in conference between the Minister of Immigration, Hon. Charles Stewart, and represent- atives of the railway and steamship companies. The companies, natural- ly, are urging that the immigration gates be opened wider in order that they may bring more people to Can- t ada. They also asked that immigra- . tion again become a separate port- folio and that the regulations eon - , Anniversary Serviettevrilj be held 113 . .

On Monday evening, October 23rd, there will be a Fowl Supper and Entertainment in the Church. Supper served from 6 to 8 p.m. Entertainment at 8 p.m. Programme will be given by Male Quartette and Ladies'.

ADMISSION 75 Cents and 50 Cents. cerning the inspection of intending immigrants at European ports be re- laxed. These suggestions are being taken under consideration by the Minister and the. transportation peo- ple will be called back into confer- ence for their annual answer later. The whole matter of immigration will probably come before the House for discussion later. • • • Canada's trade position continues to improve and the net debt continues to be slowly outdone by the prudent policies laid down by the King Gov- ernment. Trade figures issued by the United States Government show that while Canada was one of the prin- cipal purchasers in the United States during the last month, she also sold more goods to that country than did any other outside country, even Great Britain, United States sales to the Dominion during August decreas- ed by $12,000,000 as against last year, the Washington statement showed, while the Americans bought $8,000,000 more goods from Canada than in August of last year. Much of this trade from Canada to the United States was declared to be due to the attempt to get goods into the States before the new tariff became effective, but the iinprovement in the trade situation has been going on fort some months to Canada's advantage. WEST HURON TEACHERS' CONVENTION The forty-fifth annual Convention of the West Huron Teachers met in Victoria Sehool, Goderich, October 12th and 13th. The President, Mr. R. Stonehouse occupied the chair. The opening ex- ercises were conducted by Mr. J. E. Tom, I. P. S. The minutes of last session in Exeter were read and ap- proved. Miss Mabel Bailie, of Goderich, in- troduced the subject "Care of School Property." She regards the trees, shrubs, fences, etc., part of school property and should receive attention as well as the buildings. She gave an instant of where in one section a neglectful teacher followed a careful one with a corresponding • result about the school. The beauty of a school and its surroundings is noted by ratepayers and the kind of teach- er in charge is judged accordingly. She impressed upon the teachers the importance of the training of the children in cultivating a desire to keep things tidy. Again, such care nn the part of both teacher and pupil has an important bearing on the peo- ple of the section. She would impress upon the children that "A Thing of Beauty is a joy for Ever." An ap- peal to the better nature of the child generally meets success in the line of neatness, etc. Each teacher in charge is in duty bound to look after such matters and should not neglect it. Miss L. Guenther, of Dashwood, followed on the same subject. She advocates flower -beds, window boxes, and school gardens to `make the school grounds the beauty spot of the section. The hall, cloak rooms, etc., should be as tidy as the class rooms. She believes in like teacher, like pu- pils. The black board work, etc., should be samples of neatness. Pa- per should never he seen littered about the floor. Care should also he taken of the School Library. Miss C. Le Touzel, of Goderich, followed on Deportment of and Dis- cipline of pupils. She cautioned the teacher to set an example in cul- tivating the tone of voice, in moving about the room and in avoiding slang expressions. Mr. R. R. Redmond followed on the same subject and stated that by example only can the object aimed at he obtained. He advocated_ punc- tuality and regularity. Mr. N. Woods of Zurich, followed on "Home Gardens." The garden's ample opportunities for teaching the proper preparation of the soil, etc., a lesson which will be of use to the pupil in after life. The subject gives pupils a love for the beautiful, not only about the school, but around the home. Miss Musselman, of Bayfield, fol- lowed. She advocates experiments in the school room such as the ger- minating power of testing seeds, etc. Miss Campbell, School Nurse, then addressed the Convention. In Huron there are 120 schools now under the supervision of the School Nurse. When making her inspection$ she finds absence of interest among some of the ratepayers, but believes this will pass away as time goes on. In one locality 350 defective children have been remedied. She seeks co- operation from the teachers and ad- vocates paper towels, etc., in the class rooms and the removal of the com- mon drinking cups. Care of teeth should receive attention, especially the brushing to prevent pyorrhoea, now so common among, not only ad- ults, but children. She suggested a medical record kept of each pupil as well as of the standing of the pupil in each subject of study. Thursday afternoon Mr. Tom, I.P.S., took up the "Reports and Regula- tions" and announced to the teachers the change in the curriculum, the What d'yer fink? Here comes "3 Live Ghosts" Bringing the Dear Old Smoke with Them, to the STRAND, Thur., Fri., Sat. Better than "The Better 'Ole" Better than "Shoulder Arms." One blinkin' laugh after an- other. Say, old timer—don't give 'em the bird! FINK OF IT! A Paramount Picture "3 Live Ghosts" Read about it on Page 8. proper methods of filling out the re- ports, etc. Mr. M. C. Milliken took up the sub- ject, History, Entrance and Lower School. He advised teachers to put time upon the subject because of its importance. Ile would have the pupil read extensively and ever keep in mind the aim of the subject—the ed- ification of the pupjs. He thinks the Entrance papers on History should be taken equally from Canad- ian and British. In teaching he as- sociates Hietory with Geography and emphasizes the subject by map draw- ing. He would summarize the His- tory for the pupils by giving notes. He called for a vote on the new his- tory and found the teachers unani- mous in denouncing it. Miss D. Douglas followed on the same subject. She would pay spec- ial attention to Civics. Canadian and British ilistory should he taken con- currently. The Convention then separated for the Men's and Women's Federations. In each section, officers were appoint- ed for the year and other matters of interest discussed. Thursday evening one of the most pleasant and enjoyable gatherings ever spent by the West Huron Teach- ers was held at the evening session. The programme was a social and in- tellectual trept..

H. Johnston be made a life member of this Institute. .Carried. Mr, Johnston responded feelingly. Mrs. 11. Snyder gave a talk to the Convention telling of the experience of her daughter who is a teacher in: New Ontario, where the fire did Such havoc. After hearing this report, which was touching in the extreme, it was moved by Mr. W. H. Johnston, seconded by Mr. J. E. Tom, that we donate $100.00 to the fire sufferers of the north. This was carried unani- mously. A committee was formed to inform the Department of the poor histories. lately authorized, consisting of Mes- rs. Howard and Ross and Miss I, -E. Sharman. The resolutions were then read by Miss N. Medd, convener of the committee. They were as fol- lows: I. Resolved that whereas the his- ory course for Entrance pupils is too• heavy and whereas we believe that such pupils should have a thorough knowledge of Canadian Ilistory, we recommend that Canadian History only should be prescribed for the En- trance course and British History taken in Fifth Form or Lower School, This was carried. 2 Resolved that in the opinion of this Association a teacher's Superan- nuation Allowance should after his or her decease be continued to his wid- ow or her widower during the lat- ter's lifetime. This was also carried. Mr. G. W. Holman, an ex -teacher, being present, was called upon to, speak to the Convention for a few minutes. In his remarks he intimat- ed .that he was president when the Institute was organized in 1878. The newly elected President was: called to the front and in a few words thanked the convention for the honor conferred upon him, after which he took charge. The Convention them separated into two sections, Primary and Fifth Class Divisions. In the I'rimary section the subject of read- ing was discussed thoroughly. In the Fifth Class section over which Mr. J. E. Tom presided, Fifth Class work was thoroughly discussed. The sec- tions then united and Mr. G. A. Man- son dealt with the question of "Pun- ishment, to use on the numerous an- noyances of the' class room." He re- commended private talks with the of- fenders isolation of the guilty ones and when these fail resort to corpor- al punishment. Friday afternoon Mr. Tom took up "Notes on School Work." He read a communication received from Ot- tawa re the establishment of Consol- idated Schools. Ile gave some sug- gestions as to the lighting, heating. and ventilating of schools. In future no grants for Military Drill will be given any school unless such schools have Cadet. corps. Mr. J. P. Hume then took up the question drawer and answered the many queries. Mr. Stonehouse then read his report of the O.E.A. meeting held last Easter vacation in Toronto. • He was tendered a vote of thanks for the full report given. A hearty vote of thanks was ten- dered the Goderich Board for the use of the school, also to all those who took part in Thursday's evening's programme, to the teachers of Gode• rich who provided such dainties as were distributed among us and to all residents of Goderich who opened their homes to the teachers while attending the Convention. The singing of the National An- them brought the convention to a close. G. S. Howard, See'y-Treas.. vi • rr' kd t AS
