Jef- ferson, Clinton, entroduced G. A. Pearson, assistant superintendent of elementary education, who, with Dr. 0. E:' Stothers, Toronto, inspector of auxiliary classes, was a guest speak- er. Musical numbers, including a sole. by Margaret Bowra, and a duet by Maxine Stewart and Eleanor Lau- der, were presented by Mrs. J. G. MacDougall, instructor of music in Goderich schools. Mr. Pearson, during his instructive _address, said thaLteachers should not only .keep abreW of the times, but must be sure to do the best job they can. Individual differences in pupils should be studied: He questioned if enough time is spent on developing the.child's interest. "Ls there too much praise handed out to the bright pupil, allowing him to be 'puffed up' and the not -so -bright child allowed to be frustrated?" he asked, urging that children be group- ed at their level. Over -age boys and .girls should be 'grouped in their age and --,interest levet ITegeneral attitude of parents and students toward marks has 'resulted in too much emphasis being Waded on these, and not enough interest direct- ed toward the course itself. "If a child is working for a certificate on- ly, then he won't have (much at the end of the year." In competitions, he stees,sed, all factors should be equal; and he emphasized the value of al- lowing the child to endeavor to excel himself. "It is our responsibility to train children so that they will be worthy members of society; and do what is &est, not easiest," Mr. Pearson said) in conclusion. -• Dr; C. E. Stoners, introduced by Mr. Beatty, is a native of Ashfield Township in Huron County. His sub- ject was "Remedial Teaching." "In Ontario, teachers .who handle these academically . and physically handicapped children are doing as good work as in any part of the world," he declare& A survey of unsatisfactory .condi- tions in eaes of sensitive dissatis- faction should be mule, be said. There is no mystery in methods. Knowledge of the child is essential, and the speaker gave various exam- ples of bringing out the intelligence Of the child. The survey also should cnnsist of tests, knoWledge 'of teach- ing material, the child's eeperietice, • and his medical history of health. • Install Blinker Light At Main Corner Motorists,, travelling through Sea - forth this week crossed the intersec- tion of Main and Goderich Streets. under the watchful eye of a blinker -light.

Endorsation was also given the committee's recommendation that a supplementary appropriation by-law for $35,000 added expenditure be pass- ed and submitted to the Minister of Highways for approval.

No Restrictions 0n Drinking In Huron As C. T. A. in Toite Crown Attorney Dudley E. Holmes, K.C., Explains Provisions of Canada. Temperance Act. In the 1047 amendment to the Liq- uor Control Act, receive,a by" Crewn. Attorney Dudley E, Holmes, K.C., it is stated that uone or the nrovisions of the Liquor Control Act 'apply to the dour.ty of Huron, and that prose- cutions. iu Huron can be made only under the Canada Temperance Act. • Crown Attorney Holmes said, the Canada. Te-re-perance Act forbids .the sale of intoxicating liquor in the County' of Huron but does not forbid' its being brought in for one's persona,l, and family use. It does forbid a per- son, carrying liquor into the county for• his own use. It must be brought in by some other person for. him, but once the liquor is in the county it' may be carried anywhere inside the county and consumed openly; and as long as a person does not create a disturbance, nothing can be done abut it. There is nothing in the Can- ada Temperance Act to revent per- sons carrying liquor to dances and, drinking it openly, providing they do not create a disturbance. The Cana,da, Temperance Act fur- ther forbids a person giving a drink to a .iniend as it would not be "per- sonal and family use." Outside of that there is nothing to mreyent the use of intoxicants by minors or by any person.', There can be no prosecu- tions for drunkenness unless a dis- turbance is created. Liquor may be drunk at the roadside or any place within the boundaries of the county. There' are no • ublic places, as defin- ed ie nt, rio Act, so that even if a Tiers ' mvicted of selling un- der the Canada Temperance Act, his hotse cannot he declared a "public place," and the day after hi S convic- tion he may legally have liquor ship- ped in. Under the Liquor COntrol Act, If a constable bad reason lo suspect that liquor was contained in a car or other vehicle, he. had a right to search with- out warrant, and also to demand the production of a person's liquor per- mit. There is ITO such right under tine Canada Temperance Ad.. No search can be made in any place, whether shop, house, or hotel, without a search warrant, which 'can oly be obtained on good grounds, and can only be is- sued by two justices of the peace, in- stead of by one as under the Liquor Control Act. Effect of the new arrangement was seen in police court here Tuesday, when 'charges laid under the Liquor Control Act were dismissed. • BOARD SLIPS; • FINGERS ARE CUT When a board he was cutting on a trim saw at the .Tohn Boshart & Sons factory slippeele Frank Smale had fin- gers on bothdlis hands cut.
