anything wrong.
On Tuesday of last week, while leav-
ing the post office, Mr M. Hutchison,
of Goderich, suffered a slight stroke of
paralysis, the effects manifesting them-
selves while he was driving home. By
the time he reached his residence he
was unable to speak, and was at once
placed under medical treatment. For
the past two days his condition has
been somewhat Improved and he will
doubtless be able to be about again as
usual in a short time.
From the Grandin (North Dakota)
Chronicle we learn that a young lady
formerly of Tur nberry,in the person of
Miss Seraph Blackwel, daughter of Mr

ing herself, having won a medal in a
Demorest elocutionary contest. There
were seven candidates in the contest,
Miss Blackwell reciting "The Martyred
Mother," and carrying off the honors.

Perhaps the biggest single sale of
dressed hogs which `has ever taken
place in Wingham, occiirred on Tues-
day. when Mr P. Troy, of East Wa-
wanosh, brought to town a load
which aggregated 5,145 pounds. Mr
A. Burkholder being the purchaser.
Troy accepted $8.40 per cwt. for his

of $432.18 therefor.
A peculiar event occurred on Sabbath
last in the village of Gorrie when it was
discovered in the home of Mr Henry
Perkins that there were present three
Postmasters with their wives, three
assistant Postmasters, three operators
and. three music teachers. The names
of the postmasters ere Messrs Perkins'
Timmins and Farrow. The occasion
was the opening of anew Methodist
church there.
PRESENTATION.
The following is the address that
accompanied the presentation to Mrs
Julian Wall, from the members of the
Roman Catholic church, Clinton, last
week, read by Miss M. Brown, the pre-
sentation being made by Mr T. Rey-
nolds :
MRS. JULIAN WALL—DEAR FRIEND,
—We assemble here this evening to
tender you our sincere thanks for the
valuable services you have rendered us
during the past term, as organist in
our church. Although your services
were freely given, yet none could per-
form a duty in a more efficient manner.
It would then seem un rateful in us to
allow you to depart without expressing
our sincere thanks. We desire to
show our appreciation of your noble
efforts, on behalf of the congregation
of Clinton, beg of you to accept this
silver individual tea set, accompanied
by a half dozen of gold lined spoons,
as a slight token of gratitude. In con-
clusion, it is our earnest hope that we
may often meet, and with this hope
comes a ray of brightness into night's
dark sorrow. We pray that heaven's
choicest blessing may ever be yours
and that you may have a pleasant
journey to your home. It is With
deep sorrow we say farewell. Signed
on behalf of the congregation of the
Catholic church, Clinton.

MRS J. FLYNN,

THE CLiWTOAT
Not Motu Rohb's Rolla
The following is a synopsis of the re-
port of Inspector Robb on the state of the
schools in East Huron, submitted to the
County Council.
• 60U00r, nouns AND 3B0UND8,
There are 80 sehool corporations in this
inspectorate and 88 school bonses. These
are classed as follows;,—Brick, 28; stone, 8;
frame, 66; and one log. The estimated
value of the school houses and grounds is
$108,270; of furniture and equipment,
613,995.
During the year 896 trees were planted.
A very neat brink school house was built
in school section No. 18, Howiok, costing
$519.
During the present year new briok school
houses will be built in school sections No.6,
Howiok, and No. 8, Morris.
During the past two years I have made a
special effort to have every school supplied
with the necessary maps, a globe and an
unabridged dictionary. I am more than
pleased with my success.
Every school in this division is supplied
with a good school globe, except No. 6,
Hullett; No's 3, 4, 8,,9, 16 and 18, Howiok;
No's 3 and 6 Turnberry and No. 9, Tucker -
smith. Most of Viese will have globes next
year. One Board of Trustees, however,
from conscientious motives, -refuses to get
one.
Many of the schools have unabridged dic-
tionaries.
STATISTICS OF ATTENDANCE
There were 8,240 pupils enrolled in the
schools of this division during 1892. Of
these 4,243 were boys and 3,997 girls.
580 attended less than twenty days during
the year; 998 between 20 and 50 clays; 1,618
between 51 and 100 days: 1,955 between 1-11
and 150 days; 2,649 between 151 and 200
days; 395 between 201 days and the whole
year. 179 children between the ages of 8
and 14 did not attend' any school. These
figures should keep us from too much pride
as to the superiority of our school system.
It must not be forgotten, however, that
the newspaper is now a great educator and
that many children who are unable to at-
tend school, are really.self-educating them-
selves by means of the family newspaper;
also one of the uses of lessons assigned for
home work is that many a boy reviews
and increases his own knowledge while
assisting a brother or sister in preparing
lessons for next day's school.
THE TRUANCY ACT
By comparing the percentages of at-
tendance for the years 1891 and 1892 it
will be seen that the Truancy Aot passed
in 1891 has had no appreciable effect in
-raising the average attendance of pupils.
The Municipal Councils of Wingham, Sea -
forth, Clinton, Brussels and Blyth ap-
pointed truant officers. In these places I
believe that the Act has done good service.
The average attendance of Blyth has been
raised 7 per cent and Brussels 12 per cent.
There was a great deal of sickness among
the children of Wingham, Seaforth and
Clinton during 1892. As it was, however,
the attendance of Seaforth has been raised
one per cent and Wingham five per cent.
CLASSIFICAIION OF PUPILS AND STUDIES
There are 1,406 in the first pert of the
first book; 1,030 in part second; 1,424 in
the second book; 1,967 in the third book;
2,047 in the fourth book and 366 in the
fifth book. 3,541 study music; 1,762 -Tem-
perance and Hygiene; 392 book keeping
and 406 agriculture. All these in the fifth
class have passed the entrance examina-
tion into the High School, bat have return•
ed to the Public School. In nearly every
cane they are better at the Public School
for one year after passing the Entrance
than to go at once to a High School.
Some teachers abd trustees object to the
Fifth class in the Public Schools. Where
pupils come properly prepared a Fifth
class mast be taught.
Up to 1891 the subjects of Temperance
and Agriculture were bonus subjects at the
entrance examination. In 1891 they were
made optional subjects—that is a pupil
need not take the subject, but if he does
he must take one-third and one-half of the
marks as in the compulsory subjects.
There are but 18 rural schools in which
music is taught. Since about "seventy-five
per cent of the teachers are quite compet-
ent to teachmusic, this is not as it should
be.
Next year I hope all teachers will make
an effort to do something at it. Singing is
an excellent safety valve to let off surplus
noise, and a pleasant interruption to the
usual routine of the school.
There are 392 pupils studying book-
keeping. I know of no subject more useful
or suitable for the ordinary "winter pupil"
than book-keeping; the keeping of alarm ac-
counts, store accounts and a mechanic's
books.

accuracy.
The numbers in the second columns are
made up from the school registers and are
quite accurate.
There has been a decrease of over 300
each year in the number enrolled the pre-
cedingyear.
TEACHERS' CERTIFICATES
There were 123 teachers in this division.
There was one first class; 62, second plass;
and 59, third Blase teachers. There was
also one county first class certificate. There
were neither permits nor temparory certi-
ficates in this division. The majority of
the teachers were Normal trained, 62 hav-
ing attended the Normal Schools. There
were 65 males and 58 female teachers in
1892.
AVERAGE SALARY
The average salary of the male teachers
in the townships, ie $373; in the villages,
$550 and in the towns, $759. The average
salary of the female teachers for townships,
$276; for villages, $272 and for towns, $298.
During the past three years there has been
a steady decline in the salaries of male
teachers and a alight increase in the sal-
aries of female teachers. Whether it be
for weal or woe, female teachers aro slowly,
but surely displaoing male teaohere, If
they do men's work as well as men, they
should 1"redeive teen's pay.

Many pupils from Howiok writ on the
Entrance Rumination inthe county of
Wellington. The great attraction being a
gold and two silver medals granted every
year to those who take the three places at
this examination. For many years candi-
dates from Howick have secured two or
three of these medals. Last year -Howick
secured three. This year two pupils from
S.S. No. 17, Howiok, obtained—one, the
gold medal, and the other, the first silver
medal. William Mahood won the gold
medal and Milton Carter the silver medal.
This school was badly run down when Mr
Walters took charge of it. Now it is doing
well and has taken the rank it should have
held under good management.
PROMOTION EXAMINATION
During the year two promotion examina-
tions were held, one -in March and one in
October. •
Your inspectors prepared a "Course of
Study" for theseexaminttions, and sent a
copy to ,every Public School teacher in
the oonnty. This pamphlet was found so
useful that many of our teauhere when
they go to teach in a county where there is
no such guide send for one to use them.
i MODEL SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS
There were 27 teachers in ;training at-
tended the Model School at Clinton during
the last half of 1992, and 19 at Goderioh.
At the final examination in December all
passed but one. Both • Model Schools are
doing excellent work for the county.
INSPECTION
During the year I have visited every
school in this division twice, once in each
half year. Daring my visit I not only saw
,the teacher, but also tested the progress of
the pupils. At the close of my visit 1of-
fered such suggestions to the teacher as I
thought would be useful in conducting the
work of the school. These hints were us-
ually well received, and I have every rea-
son to believe were of great use to the
teacher.
Of the 123 leachers in this division, 119
did good work during the year, some of
them excellent work. Four were failures,
of these, two will do well in their next
schools, and two will never make teachers.
I may add that none of these are teaching
in this division at present.
In my report of 1891, I mentioned the
a ant of punctuality on the part of a few
teachers. This has almost wholly disap-
peared.
TEACHERS' INSTITUTES
A very successful Teaohere' institute
was helel at Seaforth on May 2nd and 3rd.
Tbere were 67 teachers reported as having
attended. These institutes are of great
service in ibringing the teachers together,
in discussing new methods of teaching, and
in arousing the enthusiasm of the teacher
in his work. The next Institute will be
held at Wingham on the 2nd and 3rd of
March.
It will be,conducted by Mr Wm Houston,
the newly appointed director of Teachers'
Institutes.
If School trustees were to attend these
meetings, and thus see that the aims and
ends of these are for the improvement of
the schools, and not for the personal ad-
vantage of the teachers, they would not
grndge the two days yearly which these
institutes take from the actual number of
teaching,days.
CONCLUSION
I am well satisfied with the results of
the work of the year. ' Nearly all the
school houses are now in good repair and
well supplied with maps and globes. I
hope to be able in a few years to report
that every school has its clock and school
bell as well as a wood -shed and the neces-
sary outbuildings.
The greater number of the teachers did
their beet during the year. and I am satis-
fied that there is no other inspectorate
containing the same number of teachers
that has as many- faithful and enthusiae.
tic teachers as East Huron.
HIGH LIVING,
if you keep at it, is
apt to tell upon the
liver. The things
to prevent this are
Dr. Pierce's Pleas-
ant Pellets. Take
one of these little
Pellets for a correc-
tive or gentle laxa-
tive — three for a
cathartic. They're
the smallest, easiest
to take, pleasantest
and most natural in
the way they act.
They do permanent
good. Constipation,
Indigestion, Bilious
Attacks, Sick or Bilious Head-
ache, and all derangements of
the liver, stomach, and bowels,
are prevented, relieved, and
cured.
They're guaranteed to give
satisfaction in every case, or
your money is returned.
The worst cases of Chronic
Catarrh in the Head, yield to
Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
So certain is it that its mak,
ers offer $5oo reward for an
incurable case.
