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: State Farm Mutual announces NEW RATES on auto insurance averaging 15% LESS than rates charged by,most othercompaniesfor liability, collision, and comprehen. sive coverage. 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." R. F.

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. w HOCKEY — DOUBLEHEADER SEAFORTH COMMUNITY CENTRE Saturday, February 26th at 9 p.m. SEAFORTH JUNIORS VS.
