County Library; Board Hears Hon. lana -Porter • • • • • ,• Annual' Meeting Held in Seaforth District High School. An audience or snout 200 people heard. the Hon. Dana Porter, Min - lister of Education and Attorney- General ttorney.General for ,the Province of On- *tarso, say' tIiiat pupils may progress in school according to their indi- vidual ability, and, that because of this, changes were being made in Ontario's educational system. The minister spoke at the annual meet- ing of the Huron County Library Co-operative in the Seaforth Dis- trict High School Monday evening. "We are trying to make it pos- sible for the brighter student to move forward faster," the minister explained. "Nothing could be more fatal than to hold back such stu- dents when they are capable of moving to more advanced studies. The children deteriorate when they are forced to mark time; if we let them go forward, we shall give them an opportunity to develop their own special talents. At the other end, the backward student won't be forced beyond his abil- ity." In his address the minister touched on education generally with particular reference to On- tario, ntario, opening and closing with digressions on literature and the value of libraries in education, both formal and informal. Before the gathering of the Huron County Library Board, representatives of libraries of neighboring counties and of cifiic governments and the public generally, the minister paid special tribute to Mrs. A. J. Eck- mier, Huron County Librarian, and to Miss S. I. McLean, a teacher of kindergarten at the Seaforth Pub- lic School—the farmer for her part in pioneering the "bookmobile" system whereby books are taken all over the county to borrowers; the latter, for ,her effgrts' to inspire her pupils with a love of reading. The meeting opened with a book Mair in the High School in the af- ternoon, foll,OQved by a dinner at which shortaddresses were given by Miss M. Tfrnbull, chairman of the Seaforth Public Library Board; Cecil Johnston, of Ashfield Twp., Warden of Huron County, who wel- comed guests on the county's be- half; Elston Cardiff, MP.. for Her- on North, and by Harvey Johnston, Reeve of Morris Twp., who thank- ed girls of the high school's home economics class for the excellent dinner they prepared. The minister's speech was pre- ceded by an address of welcome from Mayor J. E. Keating, of Sear forth. Alvin Kerslake, --Reeve of Hensel], and chairman of the County Library Board, referred to the library's progress in the past year in a short speech. The min - were read by Rev. Hugh Wilson, Clinton, secretary of the board; and Harvey Erskine, Goderich, library treasurer, read the finan- cial statement. Mrs. Eckmeir pre- sented the librarian's report. Describing the Huron County Library Co-operative as the "main beginning" of a movement in `On- tario and probably the only lib- rary system of its kinds in the world, Mrs. Porter asserted that such a library would be impossible without a school system, such as Ontario has. It was here that the minister referred to Miss McLean's work. "The personality of the teacher has a profound effect on the children, and it lasts till the end of their lives," he said. He expressed the hope that adult read- ing will increase. "Books become a lifetime habit," he said, "and there is a tremendous variety— something for every taste." Discussing the various literary forms, Mr. Porter did not at all disparage the detective novel. "It has a great place in literature," he declared. "Many detective stories are the finest examples of English prose." He defended his opinion with the observation that all great literature was originally written in the hope that "many would read it," just as in the case of the de- tective story. The ' older master- pieces'' may seem "heavy" to the modern reader, but when they were first published they were considered popular entertainment. Stressing that books help the reader to ,keep abreast of the times, Mr. Porter urged that the regular reader of light material read something "a little more dif- ficult', at times. "Nobody can pro grass," he said, "unless he tries something difficult once in a while." `The speaker here turned' to the question of education in this pro vinee. "Many think we are mak ing education easier with our nice new schools—we're making it a 'bed of roses.' Don't forget that once it becomes easy, edticatton stops being education. As soon as a pupil solves one problem, then. it's time for him to get going oil a more difficult ' one." He then launched into e, planation of the recent proposed reorganization of the school system in Ontario, Continuing, Mr, Porter pointed out: "The object of our schools should, be to train men and *omen to think for themselves so that they can face life's problems with some resources. The class room is only the early stage of 'E man's education; it is wken he leaves school- that his real education be - Gina.

Mrs. John McGregor opened her home for the May meeting of the Seaforth Women's Institute Tues- day evening, at which Miss Claire McGowan, of the Children's .Shel- ter, Goderich, was guest speaker. The meeting opened by the presi- dent, Mrs. John McLean, with the Institute Ode, the. Lord's Prayer in unison and, the Institute Creed. Roll call was answered by a gift of new or used clothing for •a child of any age, these articles being sent to the Children's Shelter at Goderich.

Doig and Mrs. Alex Pepper were appointed as delegates to the dis- trict annual at Grand Bend on June 9. Anyone wishing to go should contact Mrs. Elmer Camer- on and transportation will be ar- ranged. , Mrs. Gordon -Papple then took charge of the meeting which was on "Child Welfare." "Home On the Range" was sung and several vers- es from the Home and Country were read by Mrs. Papple. She in- troduced the guest speaker, Miss Claire McGowan, of the Children's Shelter, Goderich. Miss McGowan spoke on the work being rone by this organization throughout Hur- on County. She stressed the point that crime magazines, comic strips and some shows were some of the reasons for juvenile delinquency. Home environment means so much and in most cases the parents are interviewed to determine the rea- son for the child's downfall. The training schools in Ontario are do- ing a wonderful job to help juven- ile delinquents. Miss McGowan mentioned the fact that the Shelter is badly in need of clothing for children' of, all ages, and anyone wishing to donate clothing to the Shelter may get in toueb. with any Institute member and it will be picked up. Miss Mc- Gowan said that making people feel welcome in any organization or church meant a great deal to- ward having them change their way of living. She then answered questions asked by the members. A solo, "Secondhand Rose," by Mrs. Edgar Butt, was well receiv- ed. A demonstration on smocking was given by Mrs. Robt. Dalrymple in her usual pleasing manner. Mrs. Wallace Haugh spoke on the Gar- den Club, of which sheds convener and hoped the Institute would take an interest in the work the girls are doing in this respect. • 90th BIRTHDAY Mrs. Margaret Burke will cele- brate her 90th birthday quietly at her home on 'Goderich St. West, on Friday, May '12. • ADDRESSES LIONS D.

SP` TO LIONS CLUB Plans Announced Fox Forthcoming Events By Club. "Only fourteen -per cent of the children of Ontario 'between the. ages of five and 16 years, go on to High School," said D. N. Eastman, Principal of Seaforth Public School, in his address to the Lions Club Monday evening. The topic of Mr. Eastman's ad- dress ddress was "Elementary Educa- tion." He said that its aim was to prepare good Canadian citizens. Mr. Eastman also stressed the. need for co-operation between schools, and cited the Teachers' Council in Seaforth as a big step in this direction. One form of elementary educa- tion, now being used in schools, was 'visible education.' To demon- strate this, Mr. Eastman showed a film on "How To Spell." The film gave five rules for spelling, which would assist a pupil in learning this subject.

The Seaforth Chamber of Com- merce is co-operating with the Canadian Chamber in a nation- wide Beautification Campaign, to be held throughout the Dominion from May 15-22.

The local Chamber began mak- ing plans for the 'clean-up week' last. fall. It invited other organiza- tions to take part, with the result that the Seaforth Fire Department. will wash down the Main Street some night next week.
