established in part ,of his home. In his right hand he holds a sea
hell which can be used as a horn, capable of emitting a loud blast.
In the other hand is a hand -made Chinese slipper.

As he travels through Western On-
tario, W. G. Trestain, the Free Press
roving' reporter, comes across many
interesting persons and things. And
not the least of these is collections
and collectors.
In Hensall recently he discovered
Mr. William Fee and concerning him
he says:
"Mr. Fee has turned a room of his
home into a private museum which
houses a variety of pieces, nearlyall
of which are unusually well preserv-
ed.
There was a cane made from a cab-
bage stock. Beside it was a bowl
made by some strange Oriental pro-
cess applied to the skin of a grape-
fruit.
One of th.e early Edison phono-
graphs was there and it would still
play—characteristic of most things in
in the collection.
There was a four-poster lied, a beau-
tiful bit of furniture, about which the
reporter was preparing to make a
covetous remark when Mr. Fee said:
"A friend of mine tried to buy that
different trimeea-but the never ma.nage
ed it."
Up on a mantel pieee were pewter
,mugs and dishes 200 years old. Be-
tween them was a miniature Irish
shanty carved from Irish peat and
quaintly painted.
* e *
Like many collectors Mr. Fee likes
to ask: "Do you know what this is?"
The reporter hastens to relate his
only right answer, which was 'defin-
ing the use of an odd little iron pan
with a hinged lid through which a
slanting .trough led. The outfit was
an oil lamp which antedated candles;
a cloth wick was laid in the trough
so that one end could be lighted and
the other kept in grease which filled
the pan.
Two spinning wheels, in working
condition, are also there. Mrs. Miller
Edwards used one of them for a dem-
onostration of spinning at a diSplay In
Hensall a few years ago.
A dulcimer, which looks like an
autoharp and is a cousin of the piano's
ancestors, was obtained in Seaforth
and added to the Fee 'collection. It
would still play.
A place of honor went to the
leather, copopeatoed boots which Mr.
Fee wore himself some years ago.
There was a complete set of panticu-
larly fine fireplace irons, including

crane, log rails, pots and pans; a oast
iron bread baking pot was in unusual-
ly fine .shape—the Fees used it on
the farm for years to water- the geese.
Among the outfits was one for tap-
ping maele trees in pioneer fasthion.
There was a metal gouge for making
a half circle into which a wooden
spil•e was driven (the spite was there
boo). All were contained in one of
the wooden sap trough, like those
supposed to have served as cradles
for many who later became Canadian
leaders.
There is an old tuning fork such
as used in the early churohes to "give
be note" 'foe singing. There is prob-
ably no significance to that it lies
close beside a wolf's tooth.

mantaggnent by the time the fair

than a soore of nations have contraet-
ed for ground ranging up to 140,000

their owm buildings. Another group

"The New York Fair will promote

Thus, Mr. Whalen, the Fair's Presi-

"The foreign governments all are
of the Opinion that the New York
World' Fair will make important
contributions to the whole world.
not only from the viewpoint of trade
and the dissemination of cultural
and scientific information, but that
the Fair will be a real factor in the
promotion of world peace."
Nearly All Space Taken
Nearly 200 American business and
industrial establiehrnents thu,p far
have gone on the fair rosters as par-
ticipants. This means, according to
officials, that 98 per cent. of the
available space has been taken up
by contract or option. Exhibits in
preparation are held of unusually
interesting character and variety.
Gas Exhibits, Inc., for the Ameri-
can gas industry, launched -the pri-

In 1860 a number of teachers in
the Province of Ontario, realizing the
value of co-operative effort ,in advanc-
ing the ideals of education, organized
the Teachers' Association. Each Aug-
ust members of this group met in
the Normal Solmol at Toronto.. By
1875 the name of the organization
had changed to 'Phe Ontario Associa-
Von for the Advancement of Educa-
tion and it is worthy of note that in
1876, r.grrton Ryerson was the Keel -
dent. In 1881 the name was again
changed to the Ontario Teacihers' As-
seciat'on and so continued until 1894
when the Trueteesof the Province
joined with the teachers to form the
Ontario Educational Association, now
commonly called the 0.E.A. The Mi-
ster of Education at that time was
Hon. George Ross. He rightly esti-
mated the possible benefits •ef these
animal meetings and made provision
fpr an extension of the Easter vacs, -
lion to include one whole week, in
order that meetings might be held at
a , time convenient to rural and urban
dwellers alike.
Since that time the O.E.A. has held
its annual meeting in Toronto and
each Easter has seen an influx of in-
spectors, teachers, trustees and rate-
payers into the provincial capital, all
of wham were and are anxious to sit,
in conferenceegial assist in forwarding
the cause of our greatest public ser-
e ice—Eduoation,.
From a small group the O.E.A. has
grown bo a great organization con-
sisting of four Departments embrac-
ing Elementary teachers, Seoonidary
teachers, inspectors and Su p•ervis ors
and Trustees and Ratepayers. Such
is the scope of the present-day or-
eanization that it really includes over
forty thousand teachers and trustees
and has a, potential membership of
v. -ell over a million because provision
Is made that anyone in Ontario may
become' a member.
In 1920 the teachers of the province
felt tbat their professional interests
efiulcl best be served by separate or-
ganizations, so there came into being
three Federations of te.acibers, namely
The Women Teachers' Federation,
The Public School Men Teachers',
Federation and the Secondary Teach
ers' Fedeiation. These three groups
have functioned for the past eighteen
years as' independent bodies with the
great part of their effort d•ireeted to-
ward teacher welfare, while the 0. E.
A. has centralized its efforts ,ort ques-
tions of an academie nature. •
_Looking back over the years the
Ditectors,i of the O.E.A. can contem-
elate with satisfaction the achieve-
ments 'of the past. Besides provAdiliag,
the great Educational Parliarieetteetbr
the people of Ontario the 0.E.A. hes
developed a common meeting ground
for many diversified groups whereby,
through social contact and debate, the
finest opinions have been preserved
and acted upon. It has brought to
teachers and trustees, messages from
world-famous educationists. It bas
been tinfluential in bninging about lees
emphasis on examinations; a broader
outlook on educations greater consioa
oration for the handicapped antidotal'
a more ,attequate curriculum. It thaa
been influential in creating a desire
fur the improvement of school build-
ings. It has been an effective force
in giving education a more practical
aepect. For years' an effort has been
made by officers of 'the 0.E.A. to seek
better working conditions for teach-
ers, to relieve the taxpayer of the di-
rect cost of education and promote a
more sympathetic understanding be-
tween teachers and trustees,
Today we stand on the threehold
of great changes. Weal "Isms' of
various kind dominating the politics
of the old world; with wars and rum-
ours of wars reaching our ears from
all sides; with unrest and discontent
rampant; it is heartening to know
that in this province, our progressiv,e
teachers and trustees are preparedi to
give of their time and energy, not
only duri,:g Eater week, but for 365
days in" each year, to discussions and
round table conferences that may do
a great deal to preserve in Ontario
the Ihighe•st ideals of Morality, justice,
•
education and democracy.

Amusements will be coneentrated
in a zone fronting upon two lakes
which have beee -developed as an in-

allotted to this zone will be segre-
