PUBLIC SCHOO M N TEAcHEK HER:
ONTARIO FEDERATION PRESIDENT
Meeting in Seaforth Public
School on Friday, 60 members of
the Public School Men Teachers
of District 15-A (Perth and Huron)
heard F. Clark MacDonald, Presi-
dent of the Ontario Public School
Men Teachers' Federation, de-
scribe the contribution which
teachers make in developing chil-
dren into responsible citizens.
Mr. MacDonald, who isprinci-
pal of Shunich Public School, Port
Arthur, was accompanied by Wm.
Lively, assistant provincial secre-
tary of the association. Chairman
for the meeting was Mervin Steph-
ens, of Goderich. John W. Talbot,
princwel-
comed the f gate host hering hering toSeaforth.
Members of the staff of the public
school here served a buffet sup-
per.
Pointing out that the federation
objectives could be attained, Mr.
MacDonald said it was necessary
to understand one another and to
appreciate the views of those for
whom the teacher worked.
The speaker said he was trying
to learn the attitude of trustees
and civic administrators toward
the service men teachers are giv-
ing. In order to find out, he is
asking members these questions:

CALL ME FOR DETAILS*
(1) Do you regard teaching as a
professionand your own job as
being just . as important as that of
any other citizen m the commun-
ity? (2) If so, do you feel qualified
to carry out your duties with con-
fidence and effectiveness? (3 As
a teacher, are you consciously en-
deavouring to improve your status
every day? (4) Are you satisfied
with the rewards of a life devoted
to teaching?
When chatting with trustees and
other civic leaders he asks some
different questions, he said: (1) In
your experience, what type of
man best fills the position of
teacher from the point of view of:
(a) pupils; (b) parents; (c) trus-
tees. (2) Do you feel that this
commgnity has been well served
by its men teachers? (3) Have
you any suggestion to offer ,the
Men Teachers' Federation on how
standards of education might be
improved in your area?
Mr. MacDonald feels, he said,
that man's keenest appreciation
for true values comes only in re-
trospect, and wisdom generally
goes with age. "The teacher who
can look back over two decades of
service — the time required to
evolve a new generation—is a man
qualified to judge the importance
of teaching. The privilege of
looking back over the years and
seeing the development of chil-
dren into responsible citizens is
one enjoyed only by the older
teacher," he said. "And I say that
we older teachers who have strong
convictions about the high calling
of the teaching profession must
imbue the yosnger members with
a sense of, teaching's importance."
"I need not mention the physi-
cal and mental strain, the sacri-
fice and tolerance demanded by
our work.' I need not mention those
low ebbs of spirit which over-
whelm teachers when doubts and
disappointments come. It is our
responsibility to meet the challen-
ges of daily teaching and qualify
ourselves as scholars, as admini-
strators, as diplomats—as a group
who knows what our job is and
how it is to be - accomplished."
Urging that first things must
come first, Mr. MacDonald said:
"Only then will the people for
whom we work become enthused
by our enthusiasm."

Globe for Saturday, August 20 of
that year, which was discovered
by Joseph Hugill when he was
carrying out alterations at ,,,the
residence of B. 0. Muir, Jarvis St.
The Globe which Mr. Hugill dis-
covered was one which was ad-
dressed to the late J. H. Broad -
foot, the owner of the house at
that time.
I1eadlining the news of the day
was the fact that Port Arthur con-
tinued to resist Japanese attacks
in the Russo-Japanese war. Had
it not been for the fact that the
papers were dated, there is a pos-
sibility that some of the stories
contained in it could be consider-
ed as present-day despatches. The
Japanese, for instance, have de-
nied a charge by Russia that they
have strewn contact mines in the
seas adjacent to Shanghai. And
there was tension throughout the
Far East.
Fatalities occupied a prominent
place on the front page of that
Saturday Globe. Two women were
killed near Hamilton when the
buggy in which there were riding
was demolished by an express en-
gine. Several people were killed
in St. Louis and vicinity, as well
as others in Arizona, as a result
of tornadoes which swept through
that portion of the United States.
Included in a roundup of Cana-
dian items is the following para-
graph: "Robert Smith, from Mit-
chell, Ont., was killed while work-
ing on the new C.P.R. Hotel at
Winnipeg." '
Advertisements which appeared
in the issue were in the main con-
cerned with amusements which
could be seen in Toronto, and with
the description of exhibits at
the Canadian National Exhibition,
which was being held August 29
to September 10 that year.
Then, as now, the was a re-
quirement for assistance in var-
ious businesses and help wanted
ads occupied several columns. An
outstanding opportunity presented
itself to a working housekeeper
to whom was offered $20 a month.
Another opportunity, directed to
a qualified nurse and housemaid,
offered wages of $14 a month.
Bricklayers were in ready demand
at Toronto and were promised 45c
per hour. Blacksmiths, carriage
workers and harnessmakers were
all required in various Ontario
centres.
A feature story on the district
news page tells of Miss Carry M.
Knight, of the Seaforth Collegiate
Institute, who won the Edward
Blake and Prince of Wales Schol-
arships at the University of To-
ronto matriculation examinations.
