CHATS ON EDUCATION
(At the Principal's Desk)
When election time comes next win-
teryou ratepayers tll lis-
'
no d u t will
lis-
ten attentively to those candidates
who talk economy and promise you
the greatest 'value for the fewest dol-
lars.
Education,is a considerable item in
year public expenses, bath focally and
provincially. In most municipalities
accounts for a third full educationu rd or
more of the tax. bill.
Yet though people dislike taxes they
are often woefuity indifferent when it
comes to getting full value for those
dollars that are spent.
The taxes you pay are calculated
to provide accommodation and teach-
ing for the full number of pupils for
the full number of teaching.days each
year. Every day a pupil is absent is
a waste of money.
'Each pupil should be entitled to all
the training that the school can pro-
vide in the school year. But all that
possible training can be given and re-
ceived only if the pupil is present ev-
ery day and in good. health:
The loss in actual time in the Col-
legiate this year has been in the
neighborhood of seven per cent. which
en a basis of class time alone repres-
ents a wastage of some, $1,400 in
Seaforth.
To the individual pupilswho are
absent the loss may be proportionate-
ly much greater. In all cases it means
falling 'behind in studies. In some
cases it means repeating a year, which
means for the family 'both the cost
of anthers and boards and also , that
the time when the pupil becomes an
earner is delayed that much. In still
other cases the result of lost time is
such loss of interest in school work
that the attempt to secure an educa-
tion is given up, the pupil is sentenced
to a life of common labor when but
for absences from school a profes-
sional 'career might have been pos-
sible.
Of these absences, about 51/2 per
cent. have been due to sickness. Time
was when sickness was considered the
mysterious work of evil spirits for
which people were in no way respons-
ible. To -day we know that while
there are occasional illnesses due to
hereditary or other uncontrollable con-
ditions, the greater part of the time
lost through sickness is lost through
ignorance or indifference to the sim-
ple rules of healthful living. The per-
centage of absences on the part of
your teachers the past year has been
less than one-third of one per cent.
as compared with 51/2 per cent. on
the part of the pupils.
In such a community as this the
help of pupils is often needed at home
and this is given as the reason of the
loss of 1/ per cent. of 'the school time
of thepupils, representing a direct.
proportional loss of $300. .
Unfortunately theloss from ab-
sence is not limited to those who are
absent. "'When they return they re-
sult in delay to the whole class. Les-
sons taught during their absence have
to be explained over again for their
benefit. Too often it is impossible to
fully catch up with the work missed,
and when this is the case, the pupil
loses interest, becomes restless, and so
.disturbs the progress of the rest of
the class. All teachers will agree
that a class with an attendance of
one hundred per cent. will make very
much more rapid progress than one
with even a few pupils absent, while
each absence delays the progress of
the whole class.
The loss of the occasional half day
when mother has a headache seems
to many aarents a small thing, but it
needs to be repeated only a few times
to throw the best of pupils behind the
class, making the work a drag in -
a teed of a pleasure, and making the
pupil a hindrance instead of a help to
the others.

For many of us there is a great
fascination about that "old green.'
It could not be otherwise. The run-
ning surface will never be forgotten
by those who have made "kittie
touchers" on the beautiful green
sward. The trees are there in all
their 'beauty, and, seem to whisper a
welcome, and why not? While will-
ing hands have done much to create
this old beauty spot, "only God can
make a tree." And the last but by
no means least, one of the memories
of the cronies of other days, and par•
titularly the skips, many of them gone
from the game, but every one of them
on the last end of the greater game
safely "drew the part." What volumes
could be written of the doings within
that enclosure: The kindly advice;
the smile that meant so much to the
novice; the stern command to "open
a way through here," and we can al-
most hear the echo of the spill which
resulted. But just here we are re-
minded of the present. The sporting
spirit of `eaforth is as strong as ev-
er, and manifests itself in the unfold-
ing of the new and more adequate
greens and deb room comforts. What
a transformation in two short years.
What an asset to our always pretty
town, and what pride every citizen
feels in the new green. And we are
not left without a tree -that stately
old elm stands as a sentinel and lends
a wondrous charm to the picture. The
new greens have also made possible
the organization of a Ladies' Club;
which has added greatly to the suc-
cess of the Club, both socially and
financially, A canvass of bowlers and
prospective bowlers was made recent-
ly with very satisfactory results. And
we would mention here that the game
is open to every one. Bowls, bowling
shoes and bowling mien are there to
welcome you to try the game, and you
sure will like it.
If you would live a little longer
And feel life's throb a little stronger,
If you'd be better understood,
Then join the Bowling Brotherhood.
TEMPERANCE EDUCATION
CONTEST.
In the recent Temperance Educa-
tion Contest in Ontario, eight Provin-
dal prizes e•came to the County of
Huron. William Sutherland, of Gode-
rich, who last year not, only captered
the local and provincial prizes, but the
national as well, has again won first
prize in the Senior Boys' Class. Mar-
garet Doan, of Clinton, has won the
first prize in the Senior Girls' Con-
test. "Each of these were awarded a
ten dollar gold coin.
Audrey E. Carter, of Clinton, won
a close second in the Senior Boys'
Class, a camera of exceptional qual-
ity.

titled, "Sto 'es From the Poets," for
proficient
In the Junior Girls' Class, Caroline
Wellwood, Wingham; Mary Coleman,
Hensall; Annie Coleman, Hensall, and
in the boys' class. Jack Snyder, of
Clinton, won for proficiency a Cam-
bridge Bible. William Sutherland
and Margaret Dean are in the race
for a National Prize.
THE EXPOSITOR'S
EXPRESS
The Expositor's express, Billy Tier-
ney "the big push," comes back to me
at times while burning up old Vir-
ginia in the corncob. The Toronto
Ghobe may have had it's flier, the Cin-
cinnati Enquirer its train each and
every morning up to Toledo. Neither
one or the other had anything on
The Expositor's express.
In the past 40 odd years I have
known something about Metropolitan
newspapers and their mails. None
of the big dailies were more punctual
in getting the papers to their sub-
scribers than was The Expositor when
Billy Tierney pushed that old express
cart down to the 9 o'clock night train.
M. Y. McLean was a stickler on
The Expositor's mail service. I know.
It was my job to operate the mailing
machine. We never missed the nine
o'clock train. Given an even start,
when the engine whistle of the nine
o'clock sounded down at Joe Kidd's
crossing, Billy Tierney and the ex-
press would beat the flier to the sta-
tion. And, if 'Bil' got the worst of
the start, Pete Handcock or Barney
Miller, the engineers, would wait till
Billy arrived.
Billy was prancing ready to go just
as soon as we flopped the mail Dag in-
to the cart. Every darned old horse
knew Bill and that cart, Sometimes
the rattle of the rattler along the
bumpy old board sidewalks would
wake up one of Geordie Strong's old
gray horses. The nag would look at
Bill coming, and with horse sense
would remark to its mate, "There's
that darned thing again." Then both
greys would take another snooze.
Butoun er steeds had not develop •
Y g
ed the horse sense of the old greys.
They would rear and tear, break the
tie strap; break something. Billy
didn't have time to say "Whoa." He
kept on. Didn't seem to care either if
he bumped the pet corns of some of
the old-timers. They could swear!
Bill didn't stop. Ile had a job on
wheels to beat time and the old 9
o'clock train, and he did.
Readers of town papers have an
idea that ,publishing a paper is all
turkey and cranberry sauce, But it
isn't. It 'takes just as much rustling,
just as much thought, to publish a
good town paper as it does to publish
a daily. The women and men employ-
ed •on town papers are just as effici-
ent, just as hard workers, as are those
of the big dailies.
The Expositor always was, and still
is, a very newsy paper. If I can in-
duce Keith McLean to "open out" the
news, as we newspaper men term it
I am going to do so. Newel :Wh;
it has news sufficient to cover the en
tire "eight pages. But I don't suppose
the women readers would stand fol
"crowding out" the continued story.
So long.

FARMERS LEARN ABOUT LIM
PHOSPHATES
Opening with a dinner in the Ma
sonic Temple banquet hall, Wood
stock, on Friday of last •week, 11
representatives esfrom
many coooti
c
of the province sat down to the tab'
at a meeting of the Ruhm Phosphat
and Chemical Co., of Mt. Pleasant,
Tennessee.
W. H. Blackburn acted as chairman
of the meeting, and ;before introduc-
ing the speakers, outlined briefly the
advantages of Ruhm's lime phosphate
for use as lefertilizer, and told of the
many tests had been made by the 0.
A. C. at Guelph, and by the depart-
ment of agriculture at Ottawa, which
had indicated the 'product to be of
great benefit •to the soil.
J. Ruhm, president of the organiza-
tion, briefly outlined how the pro-
duct was first olbtained, and the pro-
cess of its manufacture at the plant
before the lime phosphate was fit to
be used by the farmers to aid their
crops. Mr. Ruhm gave an account of
the advancement that had been made
on this fertilizer from the Year 1910
up to the present time. He explain-
ed that the lime phosphate was
ground finer than flour, and that it
contained phosphorus equivalent to 33.
per cent. phosphoric acid and calcium
equivalent to 47 per cent. calcium
oxide. The phosphoric acid is given
at the lowest obtainable unit cost and
furnishes calcium free of cost.
H. Ruhm, of Chicago, who is the
vice president of the company, ex-
plained how lime phosphate was pro-
duced so as, act as a suitable fer-
tilizer for the soil, and epoke of many
experiments which had been made
with the product by outstanding chem-
ists.
The. use of lime phosphate was also
clearly explained by J. J. Thompson,
Chicago, sales manager for the com-
pany. Mr. Thompson stated that 2,000.
tons of the lime phosphate had been
introduced into Canada and was used
by 2,490 farmers. 'He told of his ex-
periences while selling the product,
and also of the many experiments
that had been conducted with lime
phosphate in the State of Illinois.
E. D. Post, field teeter for Ontario,
who is' working in co-operation with
the 0. A. C., Guelph, was the first
speaker at the evening session. He
told of the 'various tests that he had
made with respect to Ontario soils.
He explained the necessity of having
lime in the soil in conjunction with
phosphate. Mr. Post stated that ag-
riculture would undergo a change and
that farming should be made a prof-
itable business. He also stated that
he was fully convinced that phosphate
was needed in the soil, and that
Ruhm's lime phosphate had already
proven itself to be very beneficial to
the soil.
An interesting feature of the eve-
ning session was a short talk by sev-
eral of the farmers from the various
counties of the province in which they
told of the results that they had ob-
tained,by using lime phosphate. The
talks were illustrated in several cases
by specimens of alfalfa and different
grains which were shown to those
present. 'In each case a marked in-
crease in size was noticed when the
33 per telt. lime phosphate was used.
Several speakers gave the result of
their experience with respect to var-
ious crops by using phosphate rock.
S: P. Grebe, Zurich, stated that by
using 33 per cent. lime phosphate as
a fertilizer on his wheat crop he had
cbtained very outstanding results.
Others who spoke briefly along the
same line were: J. A. Atkinson, Dub-
lin; H. L. •Spicer, Woodstock ; W.
M. Sproat, Seaforth, who brought 30
representatives from Huron and Perth
with him, and J. McCallum, Alvinston.

I was called out to the country to
see a sick mother. Beside her bed
was a five months' old baby in a
wooden cradle, a little tot of three
years old and one of five were run-
ning around the room and the oldest
girl, about sixteen, was waiting with
wide, frightened eyes to see if her
mother was seriously ill. The father
had deserted them and the gill told
me she didn't want to be left with all
the children' to raise. I assured them
them the mother was only tired out
from work and worry and a few days'
rest and a good tonic would fix her
up so I left them all happy again. To-
day I visited another mother of ten
children, worn out and weary, in a
bare, 'bleak homestead house. She
told me she had dot had a doctor for
her last three children. She is an

We wired a doctor in Winnipeg to
meet him with an ambulance and were
able to get his father to go `down
with him. Then we anxiously waited
to hear what happened. Ten days
later his father came back. The boy
was getting better. Some one said to
us, "Too had to spoil your Christmas
