Rogers, Former S. SPEAKS C. I. Principal, Discusses Educational4Trends of To. day At Large Meeting. DR, CHAS MACKAY ACTS AS CHAIRMAN "I wish to, be remembered as one who eneourage.d experimentation in eductation," said Dr. G. F. Rogers, Superintendent of Education in On- tario, and g former principal of the Seaforth Collegiate Institute, in speaking at an open meeting of the Hoare and :School Club in Cardno's Hall on Tuesday evening. "'Chang- ingconditions demand the change of acce•pte,d practises in education," he continued. Dr. Rogers cited a visit lel had had recently fronn Bert Arch- bald, Principal of Oakville 'Collegiate and a :S. C. I, graduate, with re- spect to doing away with homework and lengthening thd school day, so that study could be done under the guidance of the teacher—the one best qualified to help. "I approved of it and congratulat- ed him, on the idea," said the direc- tor of education. Dr. bharle's Mackay acted as chair- man of the meetingand' in introduc- ing Dr. Rogers, recalled the influence he had had on his students when headmaster here, and the standards they had attained. IHe' mentioned the honor that had cone to him since -leaving Seaforth, The meeting, which -as well at- tended, ' opened with `MO 'Canada." Other numbers which added to the enjoyenrent of the evening were a solo, "May 114orning," by Mrs, J. A. Munn, accompanied by Mrs.. M. R. Rennie; a duet, "'Somewhere a Voice is Calling," basMr. and Mrs. James A. •1Stewart, 'accompanied by Mrs. Rennie., and a reading„ "'Women's Rights," by Mrs. L 13. Koine'. Mrs. J. E. Keating accompanied the com- munity singing. Dr. Rogers took for his subject, ."The School of To -day and Incidently the Horne." He expressed the great ;pleasure it gave him to return to Seaforth from whence he had re- gretfully. gone twenty year ago. "The .object _.of the schools in the early ages was to prepare for th:e church and state, but we are not concerned with that," said the speak - "1 ani, particularly interested in the schools of Europe and America during the past 150 years,'which in the frret place, emphasized educa- tion for scholarship and social dis- tinction. Education for the sake of education was exemplified in those days." Dr. Rogers is afraid that the value of that aim has been forgotten in these modern days of loving knowl- edge for knowledge sake; forgetting the training one should give' the young people ina the amenities, of life. •'"The influence of a teacher is a marvelous thing," said Dr. Rogers, and he spoke of his own son who had not forgotten a teacher of his childhood days, bot has kept in touch with her by correspondence for 20 years. "After the democratic' ideals got spread about they were accompanied by a demand for universal educa- tion," continued the speaker. "If we are going to train people on that Wholesale scale, we cannot limit our- selves. While education is for ev- eryone, the same quantity and qual- ity can not be for everyone. Hannah (Moore, the 'English Iblue stocking in her days was doubtful whether every boy and girl' should learn to write, but we have got a long way from that now. Democratic education does• not mean that •everyone should have the same type of education." - "The (birth of vocational schools and industrial development was the next movement and both the Federal and Provincial Governments spent vast 'sums on building and e•quiping vocational s'c'hools." "But I regret," said Dr. Rogers, "that more of that money was not applied to the basic industry of agri- culture. However, the Governments are •prepared to give' liberal grants to agriculture courses if we could only get the buildings and students. No finer part of the country in which to develop it could he found than in this old County of Hluron," declared the speaker." "What are we doing to pre- pare our young people to be- come good citizens?" asked Dr. Rog- ers. 'dvcatin them inthe "Wea e ergs,g accepted sense, Yes, 'but are we teaching them the amenities of life? Be mentioned an illustratidn he had just given before a meeting in To- ronto in which he said that in a the n e i street car ge rat on could be counted on to riseto give a lady a seat, 'but not the younger generation. And yet, the boys of this younger generation are students or recent graduates of ••;n};edeen schools. "1 have ben accused," said Dr. Rogerrr, "of aocating the abolition of the classics. Rather, however, •1 am trying to save the classics. For as soon as one insists• on everyone askinig Latiet, let us say, they standard drops and instead of a small elites of interested classical students, you have a large class of classical Stud-• eats enlerely trying to get Iby because it is on the ecurriculuin and if they don't pass on it they 'will have to re- peat," .. r�n::il, .+;ISnLNaS�t1t it IN SEAFORTH Dr. G. F. Rogers, director of edu- cation in the Province of Ontario, and former i Principal of the Seaforth Collegiate Institute, who addressed an open meeting of the Home and School Club in Cardno's Hall on Tuesday evening. YOUNG BOYS SMASH FAIR. HALL WINDOWS Forty-four • Panes of Glass Broken Friday Night Last. The (Seaforth Agricultural Sooiety found itself on Saturday last facing the task of replacing forty-four panes of glass in the exhibition` hall, which .rad" 'been broken on Friday evening. The secretary and some of the directors were in the building Friday afternoon getting ready for the an- nual Fair, which opened on Thars- day. When they returned on Satur- day they found the floor strewn with broken gilas.s and stones and the windows broken. Chief of Police James V. Ryan was notified and investigated. He secur- ed information, which led him to cer- tain young boys, who, in turn impli- cated others. Crushed stone on an adjacent roadway was used as am- munition. It is not known whether or not. the same boys are responsible for the epidermic of 'apple, grape and melon stealing which has been 'preva- lent in the town the, past' few weeks. In a number of cases entire grape vines have been stripped and on d'ther occasions every melon in certain gar- dens taken.

Encourage the buy- ing of Canadian alrthors and the buying of Canadian paintings for schools, halls and audito •rums and foster Canadian talent," hd said. Dr. Rogers closed with a very vivid and interesting description of a visit he made to Cambridge in England, and also the home &hen of the late lamented poet, Rupert Brooks. Mr. G. A. Ballantyne, Principal of the iSeafarth 'Collegiate Institute, moved a hearty vote of thanks to the .spe'atker and aseistin'g talent, and to the Home ad School who had ~Wade passible Dr. Rogers visit, It was seconded by Mr. P.

GREENS OUTSTANDING "The finest nine hole golf course in Ontario" is the unanimous opin- ion of the large number of golfers who know and who ha><:e visi(ed„ ,the new property of the Seaforth Golf Holding Corporation, since construc- tion work has been completed. 4I. R. Wilson( Toronto, a well 'known need and golf .00nstruttion man, son of J. Leckie Wilson, director of Fairs and Exhibitions in the Province of On- tario, went even further when he vis- ited the 'course on Monday. . "You have a natural golf course property that would be hard to beat anywhere and with the layout iMr: Thompson has given you and the greens Mr. Watson has ibuilt, the :finished links will 'be the equal of any nine hole course in Canada," said 'Mr. Wilson. One -morning last week two golfers, strangers to this district, drove in the lane and asked to see number ween hole, which is 'already on the way to becoming famous. They had been driving through .Stratford and heard of the new course and of the seventh hole, and came out 'of their way to investigate. • "We will be back next year to play it," they promised as they left. The course, which was designed by Mr. Stanley 'Thompson, famous golf architect, is baing built by Mr. How- ard Watson, a graduate of 0. A. C., a man with much experience in golf course construction work. Mr. Wat- son is (being assisted by Mr. George West. ISeed for the fairways -4500 pounds of itis now on the property and will be sown as soonas weather permits. The fairways and greens will require eleven tons of fertilizer, which will be applied .before seeding connlrnencees. 'Creeping bent stolons' will be used on the 'greens instead of seed. The use of stolons assures a more even and certain catch. The work will be completed by the end of next week and in the' rnea.h:- time the Case facia: is the mecca of all golf ,rrninded pereens in • the di'se trict. IIn addition to making a beauty spot on • the edge of the town, the constrtzc-ii'on wank has given' enploy- ment during the past four weeks to between 30 and 40 men'and 10 to 15 teams.

PAST WARDEN RADER CALLED TO TESTIFY' Gordon Young, forlmrer treasurer of 'Huron County, pleaded guilty to three charges of theft, conspiracy and de- struction and mutilitation of records from 1928 to 1933, inclusive, in golice court Goderich, Saturday and was sentenced by Magistrate C. A. Reid en each charge to one. year definite, and six months indeterminate in the Ontario Reformatory at Guelph, tire• sentences to run' concurrently. .;The conviction was the first follow- ing on the investigation of cognty financial affairs, which is still pro- ceeding under F. A. .Gilbtbs, C.A., of Stratford. When asked to plead the former - treasurer elected to be tried by Mag- ' iistrate Reid. W. H. Robertson, Edi • - tor of t'he Goderich Signal, and Rev. Dr. .Barnet, a retired clergyman, at the request of Frank Donnelly, coun- sel for Mr. Young, gave character evidence. Both testified to the good reputation Mr. Young had enjoyed in the township of Colborne and, Gode- rich. Mr. Young was ably defended -by Frank Donnelly. In his remarks he pointed out that Young had been ap- pointed to the office at the age of 61 - and he felt that his client and the county had made a mistake, the former in taking and the latter in giving him the position: He (Mr. Young) had had no experience„ in (bookkeeping and was called upon to 'disburse $660,O00 yearly. He had power to sign cheques and 'the first, defalcation led to the second, always with the best intentions of returning them. His salary had been cut and he was in no position: to make good. Mr.. 'Donnelly"also referred to the in- adequate system of bookkeeping that had prevailed. !Dudley 'Holmes, crown attorney, prosecuted. He said Mr. Young had Pleaded guilty. It was his first of- fence. Enquiry Continues.' ,Louis Rader, 1932 Warden, in test- ifying 'before Mrs. Edna Reynolds, special examiner in ,onnection with the auditors' enquiry an Monday last, swore that he had no recollection of J. H. Taylor, bank manager, having told him in July, 1932, of irregulari• - ties,in the accounts of. Gordon Young, former treasurer, ;l1'r. Rader did not deny that the bank manager had learned him, but he could not remem- her the circunlstances or occasion. Last Friday, in the same tribunal, J. H. Taylor, hank of Commerce man- ager at Goderich, testified that he had on July 28, 1"932, brought certain suspicious transactions en the part of the convicted treasurer to the at- tention of Mr. Rader, the warden. Mr. Rader on that occasion, he stat- ed, had said he would take op the matter with the county clerk. TUCKERSMITH Mr. and Mrs. R, G.
