DISCUSS FEDERATION AIMS AS
HURON - PERTH MEN TEACHERS MEET
Latest developments in the Ont-
ario Public School Men Teachers'
Federation were discussed when
William Lively, Toronto, address-
ed the annual meeting of District
15A of the federation. .
Comprising the public school
men teachers of Perth and Huron
counties, the district meeting was
held at Hotel Clinton, Clinton, on
Wednesday. -President Maitland
Edgar, of Cnton, was nhairmntr.
The guest speaker vali'd is the
assistant secretary of OPSMTF,
was introduced by Grant Kropf,
of Stratford.
Mr. Lively brought greetings
from President McCallum, of Wind-
sor, and announced that Mr. Kropf
had been appointed to the Provin-
cial Board of Governors to replace
a member who had taken up teach-
ing duties overseas.
The speaker reported on the two
basic aims of the federation:
To promote and further the cause
of Education in Ontario; and to
guard and guide the interests of
the members of the Federation.
He stated that the first year of
operation of the Provincial salary
policy was tending to raise the
standards of teachers because it
necessitated improved qualifica-
tions before a member could ex-
pect to reach a new salary plateau,
Teachers have to give boards more
for their money in higher qualifica-
tions.
OPS has entered the field of
Summer Schools in Educational
Philosophy and Psychology. How-
ever the most highly acclaimed
work was that in School Admini-
stration run by the OPSMTF. Plans
are already being made to conduct
this course plus a course in class-
room practises for teachers in
Grades seven and eight.
The meeting was told the federa-
tion is studying a proposed. list of
qualifications for Elementary .5eb-
ool principals and has Made it
available to districts for discuss-
ion.
Seminars in various brancaes of
education have been conducted by
the federation and in-service train-
ing sessions for new teacher have
been begun in several places in the
province.
The activities of the federation
in dealing with the salaries, rela-
tions cases, and superannuation of
its members were related by the
speaker. Mr. Lively completed his
address by emphasizing the im-
portance of the Teachers' profes-
sional body having control over
the certification of its members
and stated that only in this way
would the teachers truly belong
to a profession.
\ A lively discussion, followed con-
cerning some of the points men-
tioned by the speaker and referred
to the district for discussion.
' Mr. K. Waldie, chairman of the
nomination committee presented

Asks Question
Alarm Results
One of the means adopted
by Seaforth firemen to place
emphasis on fire prevention
week was the distribution of
questionaires to district school
children dealing with various
aspects of fire prevention.
One of the questions asked
what the fire alarm telephone
number is. In telling of the
incident, Fire Chief Scott said
one lady was so interested in
co-operating that she phoned to
enquire and in the process, set
in motion the alarm procedure.
The result was the brigade was
summoned by a false alarm.
"We don't mind the false
alarm." Chief Scott said, "when
it comes because people are
really trying to help in fire
prevention."

interested in the VanEgmond story.
"In the autumn of 1931 a series
of articles on 'The Canada Com-
pany and Anthony Van Egmond'
was contributed to the Huron Ex-
positor of Seaforth by Wilfred
Brenton Kerr. A file of these arti-
cles is preserved in the Ontario
Public Archives. When I read
them there recently, my first
thought was, what a pity that such
an excellent piece of research in
the early history of Upper Canada
sheuld not be available for a wider
circle of readers. With this thought -
in mind I decided to suggest to the
author that he expand his account
and publish it in book form,—but
only to learn that he was no long-
er living. A native of Huron county
and member of a family who made
a notable contribution to the early
settlement of that district,' Mr.
Kerr, after study in Oxford and a
year on the staff of the University
of Toronto, was for some y'ears
before his death proffesor of his-
tory in the University of Buffalo.
"Colonel Van Egmond having
been revealed to me as such an
outstanding figure in our early
history—and, as I have found, so
strangely unknown to Canadians
today—I determined to try my-
self to fill the gap by writing a
concise sketch of his life. And
here I wish to acknowledge my
great indebtedness to the late Pro-
fessor Kerr, without • whom this
little book would not have been
written. I have pared down sta-
tistical details, amplified the his-
torical background, and printed in
full, as an appendix, Van Egmond's
long letter to John Galt's successor,
Thomas Mercer Jones, which is
the one extensive written docu-
ment from Van Egmond himself
and which was found on his person
when he was taken prisoner after
the final clash between the loyalist
force and Mackenzie's followers at
Montgomery's Tavern on Yonge
Street on December 7th, 1837. This
document ,is of cardinal import-
ance not only for an understand-
ing of Van Egmond's mental con-
dition in the closing stage, but as
a firsthand comment, by a lead-
ing participant, on the political
conditions at the time"

Discussing the anniversary oc-
casion of Northside United Church
which was observed last week, Dr.
F. S. Harburn. for some 40 years
a member of the official board of
the church, summed up the develop-
ment that has occurred in the con-
gregation in -these verses.
"They met together under humble
roof
The richness or their faith to share
And 'many a simple, earnest tale
gave proof
Their's was a God beyond com-
pare.
"Then builded they the church, -.-
the first to stand
- In that new region. Small it was,
Yet meant it sacrifice by that brave
band
Who gave unstinting to the cause.
'In temple beautiful, on this blest
spot,
By their devotion sanctified,
We meet. 0, be Thy Presence -
wanting not!
As with them, now with tis bidea
"May faith in Thee our humble
hearts imbue,' JJ
Faith that shall triumph Oven',
Otirs be the living faith our fatlie0. ,
