De a am) Saga MOST PEOPLE ARE nIIIES 1IMJCKS You read about "selfanu;asde" men. There le no such .thing. No man ever made himself. Other people did it. The so-called "self -nude" man was just mart enough to kno i- t'] t every time he did something for others, others would do more for hl u ---and he dad it. You want to snake money. You wouldn't be doing 'what you are doing if ylou didn't. Believe it or not, the fact remains you can not make money useless your neighbor does. Therefore, what you do to_help him, Helps you; and what he does to help you, helps Main. Your neighbor isn't just the man Merit door, !hut the: man next door to him, and the man next door to everybody else in Seaforth. In other words, your neighbors are the people who make up your tonin unity.. If your neighbors didn't do for you, where would yqu be? You can't do a thing by yourself. You can't eat, sleep, work or play without others enter- ing into it in some way:Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it -]but try getting along by yourself and see how far you get. Socially, the fellow who does not hold up his end is a poor sport, a short l'aorse, a tight -wad and a moocher. You say, "He has fish hooks in his ,puakets," which is anything but complimentary, and something that you would not want said about you. In fact, you detest such people. There really isn't a great difference between things social and things civic, except that there are more short horses entered in the latter event. Mealy of you who are good sports socially are moochers civically—not al- ways intentionally so, but so, nevertheless. Most of you are like ducks. Ducks are used to water—in fact, can't ]live without it. While they have it, they don't worry because of the lack of it; but if their pond dries up, they quack their heads off. Others are working to keep the water in your pond—to insure continual enistenee, growth and prosperity of your town that you and your neighbors may live, work, play and make money. Recognize it; appreciate it. If in the past you have unwittingly been a civic tight -wad, there is no time like the present to coma out of it. Copyright, 1929, A. D. Stone.

CH TS ON EDUCATION (By the Principal) (Note: The Principal will welcome letters from parents and others inter- ested in problems of education. His main business in life is the promotion of education and the aid of those who seek it.) The Trend in Education. You parents who attended public and high school twenty, thirty or forty years ago, are constantly im- pressed as you talk with the school- boys and schoolgirls of to -day, and discuss their studies, with the fact that changes in the studies and in the methods are taking place. To understand these changes and some of the educational discussions and controversies, one must under- stand something of the three great sources from which we have drawn our educational ideals and methods. Oldest perhaps in the way of form- al or systematic education was the training for the learned professions, all of which in ancient times were in- cluded in the work of the priesthood. In each civilization the achievements and teachings of the learned of a previous civilization in religion, in ✓cionce and in law were preserved in an older language and were studied diligently by those who sought stand- ing among the wise. In such train- ing schools for the priesthood, or as we would say now for the learned professions, the study of the dead languages naturally held a foremost place. To -day in our present system the study of Latin and Greek is con- sidered important in preparation for these professions. The Greeks and to a higher degree the Romans, developed a remarkable system of training men for war, to make them efficient soldiers. Through the need for large armies methods were developed for training men in /large numbers and disciplining them for uniform and efficient action. Through centuries of alternating war and peace, it was natural that retired army officers should aim to carry in- to the organization of business and of education some of the methods de- veloped in the army; and when in America the attempt to establish a democracy required universal educa- tion, something of army methods in handling masses became a necessity. So we went through a period in our educational development when the subjects taught were largely domin- ated by the old education for learned professions, and the methods were largely military, aiming at a dead level of uniformity in the class room and throughout the country. The old systems of trade education is the third source from which we draw for ideals and methods. Up to a century ago the training for the various trades was in the hands of powerful Guilds, which es- tablished rules for the training of ap- prentices. 'The system of apprentice- ship however was not wholly satis- factory, and as Adam Smith observ- ed even in his day, was costly and in- efficient. With the introduction of machinery and rapid changes in trade requirements the old system died out and for a generation there was no adequate attempt to meet the» need for trained workers. The growing handi- cap to industry from lack of skilled workmen, and the obvious effect of our one-sided education in directing all of the more studious pupils into the few learned professions forced the Government to study the problem of education for industry. As a result of a study made by a commission appointed by the Domin- ion Government twenty years ago and generous financial assistance given for years after a great system of technical schools has been built up Which is aiming to train pupils for the industries, just as our traditional High Schools and Oollegiates have been preparing them for the learned profession's. The latest development in Ontario in the orggarde tion of a new system el' apprentice ship under govervinaent supervision, whleh alfrne tb ccospibhae the advantages of the old apprentice- ship system with the opportunities af- forded by our new Technical Schools. Educationally we are making pro- gress. But our nrery progress forces us each year to realize more clearly the seriousness of this problem. How are we to make sure that each child leaving the public schools will be di- rected into the course of study that will prepare him or her for the work for which that pupil is best suited? SUN) Y SCHOOL OONV ENT ON The joint convention of the South Huron and Hay, Stanley and Tucker - smith branches of the Ontario Re- ligious Education Council, was held in the Evangelical Church, Zurich, Friday afternoon and evening, No- vember 15th. The afternoon session was opened by a song service conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. Y. Dreier. Colin Campbell, township president, occu- pied the chair -in the afternoon and gave a short and able opening ad- dress. Minutes of last convention and the report of the secretary -treasurer, R. P. Watson, was then given together with an explanation of the Standard Sunday School Chart. Mises J. S. 'Murray, of Exeter, then gave a very practical address upon the temperance question. She also spoke of the temperance educational campaign that W.iC.T.U. workers are again putting forward. W. G. Medd, M.P.P.-elect being present, was called to the platform and spoke briefly of the worth of the work carried on by the Sunday school workers. The ladies' quartette then gave a selection. Rev. H. C. Priest, general superin- tendent of the O.R.E.C., brought the greetings of the Council and spoke of their work and also of the coming World's Sunday School Convention to be held in the C.N.E. grounds, June, 1930. He stressed the need of Sun- day school teachers being seized with the reality of Jesus and having know- ledge of Him in order to succeed in their task. An excellent supper was served by the ladies in the basement. The evening session was opened by a song service conducted by the pas- tor, Rev. W. Y. Dreier, assisted by the Zurich choir. J. B: McLean, South Huron R.E.C. President, occupied the chair and gave a short address. The Secretary treasurer of South Huron R.E.C., R. P. Wlatson, read the min- utes and presented the report of the secretary -treasurer. Reports of com- mittees were then dealt with and un- animously carried. After a selection by the men's chorus, Rev. H. C. Priest gave the address of the evening on "Some Essentials in Successful Sun- day School Work." He spoke of the glory and dignity of the Sunday school workers' task, of the possibili- ties of the child. In the children, he said, lies the solution of the mission- ary problem, the liquor problem and others that confront us. He also gave some of his experiences as a missionary in !India. The recommen- dations of the Nominating Committee of the officers was approved. South Huron Officers: President, J. B.

COLLEGQf:,TE NOTES (Poppy Day.—Some twenty-five of the High School girls assisted in the selling of poppies on. Poppy Day. Their efforts did much to make Sea- forth's contribution to the Poppy Day Fund `for the returned men one of the best in proportion to population of any place in Ontario. People who pass the Collegiate be- tween one and one -thirty hear the strains of sweet music, the words of which they may or may not be able to understand. This is the One O'clock Choral Club practicing Latin and French songs for Commencement. Observations in various schools to the south have shown that cold lunch- es are not the very best thing for health and efficiency, and tests have shown that pupils are happier and healthier when something hot is pro- vided for those who bring their lunch- es to school. At the Collegiate this season committees of boys and girls have taken the matter in hand, and making use of the oil stove which was formerly used only for special re- freshments for evening celebrations, have arranged to have a hot drink for the pupils who bring their lunch- es. The cost per cup for tea, coffee or cocoa with cream and sugar, is found to be about one cent. The com- mittees wash up the dishes and ev- erything is clean and orderly with all the muss cleaned up long before the Choral Club assembles at 1 o'clock. •The publishing of school or form papers is engaging some attention. Form IV started the movement with "The Whoopee," edited by Lorne Pinkney and Harry .McLeod. The editors worked hard and late one night .printing the paper on the school duplicating machine, and left it all ready for distribution. Great was their amazement when the papers were passed out next morning to find that an entirely new front page, simi- lar in general appearance but quite different in matter and containing some good natural banter, had been substituted by one of the teachers who enjoys a joke. The joke was equally enjoyed by the editors. Now Form III are busy on a form paper that promises to be a `hum- dinger.' For the benefit of solicitous par- ents it should be remarked that much poetic license is customarily allowed the editors of school papers, and it is in fact often considered bad form to report in a school paper any joke which any teacher actually did make in class. The jokes attributed to memlbers of the staff are usually `cribbed' from some other school paper. 'HEALTH SERVICE OF TIRIB CANADIAN MEDICAL A SSOCIIATION )INSOMNIA Inability to sleep is insomnia. This is a symptom which occurs in some diseases but in health it is chiefly a bad habit due to conditions which can be corrected. Falling asleep is a habit. One is much more likely to go to sleep eas- ily if there is a regular hour for go- ing to bed. Enough physical work or exercise should be taken during the day so that the body is physically tired at bed time. Over -fatigue, how- ever, tends to disturb sleep. Insomnia is caused, in many cases, by the individual's worrying about not being able to sleep. There is no reason for worry. Lying quietly in bed, even if not asleep, is rest, and if worry about not sleeping is ban- ished from the mind, sleep will come all the sooner. Those who suffer from insomnia very often sleep much more than they realize. They are worried and certain that they had not an hour's sleep, that they had heard the clock strike every hour, but, in fact, it will be found that they slept a fair amount. No one should worry about inabil- ity to sleep, as we have said, and any deliberate effort to put one's self to sleep will most likely have the op- posite effect. There are, however, certain things which may be done and which have been found to be helpful in many cases. A walk during the evening, a warm bath, a warm drink, unless it causes bladder action during the night, are helpful to many. The bedroom should be well -ventilated and cool, or the bad should be on a porch. The »hed should be firm and comfortable, the pillow low. Usual or monotonous sounds, er lack of sound, tend to promote sleep. A person sleeps best whhn the stom- ach is practically empty. A heavy meal may cause sleepiness; for a time, but it disturbs rest later. Those who are sensitive to caffein should avoid the use of tea or coffee. Read- ing an unexciting book is a good way to divert one's mind from worry, and it is a helpful routine for many to read such a hook for ten minutes or so after getting into bed. Slow deep breathing is, for othersa a simple way to go quietly to sleep. We would repeat that the greatest eause of insomnia is worry about riot ez]f'iY.`".,,. ,a3dlftcnr;ennap, a a :y ani 6 Citi fly pr pEred.9 Ile (saa wad The Cop 'Noted For Its Great Heat. 6!y cel ` ;1 lri 99 Anteacite Weereenenevele it FF SONS, being able to sleep.

In extreme cases, such as some parts of the Prairie Provinces, the ca.nes should be entirely covered with snow while, in others bending down the canes and holding the tips down with snow, will help ensure their being CON- ered with snow early. Hybrid Tea Roses, Hybrid Perpetu- als, and Climbing Roses should be protected in all but the mildest parts of Canada. Earthing urp the base to a height of eight or ten inches is a good method, the tips being bent down and covered with soil. Another good plan is to put an inverted wooden trough over the roses, and cover with strawy manure. Leaves are good foe protection also. For Climbing Roses the inverted trough method, boxes fill- ed with dry leaves, or covering with heavy paa3er or earth, all make good means of protection.

Narcissus are much tenderer than Tulips and need some protection under extreme conditions without early and adequate snow protection. A PROTEST Dear Expositor: The Lion's article, "The Town Doc- tor," zneaning the doctor of Towns, says: "Has Seaforth a hole in its heeL" It also says: "Don't tolerate anything that drives business out of the town. What about our park? There are no weeds and a nice monument, and there were dozens of ears different times during the past summer park- ed during the hot weather, but the occupants couldn't get a drink or a place to eat their lunch, or a deeent sent to sit on. Some of the neigh- bors did provide them with water. These people came to spend a few hours in our town and do business, but they had to leave or go to Main Street to -Cry and get a drink at any of the fountains that were in working order, and it is costing you money to drive such .people out of your town. And it's your business and the busi- ness of every other citizen, to see to it another summer that the public has accommodation when they come from other towns. A CITIZEN.
