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. (Photo couriesa London Free Press) 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 • it really takes very little to beautify and brighten the dull oats in any home.

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.

Another group of sirail•ar size plans to exhibit in the generale area, of .ithe exposition. "The New York Fair will promote the best interests of our country as well as,„the cause of world progress," Cordell Hull, Secretary of State, ad- vised fair officials. Sentiment voiced an the site also stresses a deep in- terest in the influences a peace. Thus, Mr. Whalen, the Fair's Presi- dent, said: "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- vate exhibitors' construction program by starting work on the foundations for its $750,000 display. The largest. private display, and, indeed, the largest bnildin•g at the fair, will be erected by 26 railroads through the Eastern Presidents' Con- f.erence.

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.
