Normal schools and facilities of education.
In the past the schools have been re-

and standards of examinations based on
the same course, 13y the new arrange-

erially lessened and the pupils will have
the option of qualifying at the examinat-

the board of examiners who are to prepare
the examination papers and the emaciate
examiners who are to read the papers of
the tandidatee, are to be nominated by a

A farmer residing some miles from Fer-
gus came to town on Sunday afternoon
He met a merchant and remarked upon
the scarcity of children on the streets.
He was told they were probably at Sunday
School. He then spoke of the quietness
of the town asked why the merchants
were closing on Saturday afternoon, and
if the merchant would accommodate him
by taking his eggs. He was again told
more forcibly that this was Sunday, not
Saturday, whenhesuddenly realized his
mistake and said: "Good Heavens! And
I hauled in turnips all forenoon.'e

REGIMENT RE -ORGANIZING
Eight Companies for Administration;
Four for Camp
Last Friday afternoon officers of the
33rd Huron Regiment and also officers
who served overseas met at Clinton and
along with Lt. Col. W. 3, Brown, X A.
G,, of No 1, District, talked over the re.
organization of the 33rd Battalion.
While reorganization is cm an eight -com-
pany basis for administration purposes,
it is intented to go to camp, training re-
sumes, with the regiment in four compan-
ies for drill purposes. •
The great majority of 33rd officers ob-
tained commissions in overseas units, but
some are not now resident in Huron and
a few lieutenants on the roll have never
qualified for their rank. Some will no
doubt be dropped when Lieut -Col. Combe
submits his revised slate of officers to
headquarters of Military District No. 1
Lieut, -Col. H. Torr Ranee; Clinton,
who attained his rank in 1916, automatical-
ly ceased to command the 33rq on the re-
turn of Lieut. -Col. Corabe to Clinton,
but continues as second -in -command by
virtue of his seniority. The appointment
of junior major has been vacant for some
time, and it is expected that Col. Combe
recommend the promotion of Capt. H.
C. Dunlop: of Goderich, to fit this, Capt.
Dunlop who went overseas in the 71st
