'i'eibfbel ipa Vis, rl mee MN ad M '1 t i dl,litts, Robert Mail and Empire Says Art Forbes is an Audible Curler.—In bowling or curling you will often hear the re- mark: "Now we have him in the lath hole." This is vastly different from the 19th hole in golf. The former is supposed to be a hoodoo, while the la'.tcr you pay at your own discre- tion. Yesterday in the district cup 1 Medal Winner " 7th Heaven play at Toronto Victoria, Tom Smith of the Granites got in the 13th hole, but he was so far in front that ne attention was paid to the jinx number. His opponent had only scored two shots at the time. Then something happened, and before Smith had scor- ed again, his opponent had tied him, the game ending in a tie 18 to 18. You've heard of the silvery tones of Dr. Wylie, the Eskimo cry of Percy Atkinson and the battle cry of Joe Whitemore, but for continued yelling, Art Forbes of Lakeview takes the cake. He skipped the other Lakeview rink against Granites and was like a kid with a new toy. One of the rea- supposed tohave taken the rink, but PRINCESS sons was that Austin Forsythe was was unable to get away, and Art, the original vice, moved up. Imside in- formation has it that Albert E.

He stands over six feet and weighs well over 200, and is as good natured as they make. them. I,n his younger days he was quite a hockey player. Wihat's more, he played in a league where they carried their sticks high and asked no quarter; for he was one of the defence players for the Hough- ton Michigan, team, in, the days that the late Hod Stuart, Pitre, Laviolette, Roy Brown and others were drawing down good money.

MANLEY INSPECTOR'S REPORT PUBLIC SCHOOL INSPECTOR'S REPORT ON SEAFORTH PUBLIC SCHOOL The following is the report of In= speetor J. M. Field on the Seaforth Public School: The Puiblit School Board, Seaforth, Ont. Gentlemen: I visited your school during the week beginning November 12th and the week following and spent three days in its inspection. The general oversight and manage- ment of the school is excellent; the teaching is of a high order; the staff work harmoniously together, and are keenly interested in the progress of their classes. There is no retardation in any of the classes: many schools require four years before reaching the Third Form. It is accomplished in yours in three. This partly due to the excellent pre- liminary training the pupils receive in the Kindergarten and partly to the quality of the work done by the teachers of the lower classes. I have listened with pleasure ore to the instruction given in music; you arc also to •be congratulated in hav- ing ministers in your town who are keeping in touch with the school chil Oren. The new system of grants, I regret to say, will not prove as advantageous to your school as the former. They are based en the percentage that the t 1 1 b to the alized ota sa arses ear a equ assessment. After deducting the as- sessnient of the Separate school sup- porters, yours will work out as fol- lows: 7800 multiplied by 1,000, (livid. - The Late Wilfred O'Hara. — The',ed by 767.483 equals ,111 • mills. funeral of the late Wilfred O'Hara When the hill rate is between 9 was largely attended last Saturday, and 12, the grant is 20 per cent. of the salaries, which amounts to $1,660; there is also a grant of $1.00 per pupil, or about $180; this is about $620 less than the amount received the previous year. There is no grant now in urban schools on equipment and 'accommodations or certificates. The attendance is excellent --there is no school in the Inspectorate with less irregularity.
