The Longest War on Record, r1
Is that waged between
a boy and his clothes—the
result is generally in favor
of the boy.
He is a bundle of
aggressive activity, is the
boy, He sails in to knock
out that new suit on sight.
He usually succeeds all
too well.
His energy and activity are hard to beat, but the
passive resistance of our boys' clothing will do it.
We sell Shorey's make of Boys and children's
clothing. The material used in these garments is
all shrunk. They are sewn with the best linen. thread
and we furnish a guarantee with each garment.
If you buy your boys' clothing from. us you can
tell your boy to go ahead. and enjoy himself.
Everything New. i Buy and Sell for Cash.

The teachers all tried .to do faithful,
honest work, and in most cases with
eminent success. Four or five failed
to give satisfaction, not so much from
want of earnestness as from lack of
teaching ability.

The latter school house is the most
complete one -roomed school that I
know of. The school houses of S. S.
Nos, 3 and 5, Morris, were also rebuilt.
The school House in No. 5, Motais, is
practically a new building, and is in
every way a credit to the section, Al-
though nearly all oar school houses are
new good buildings, yet there are 3 old

INSPECTOR ItOBB'S ANNUAL REPORT.
To the warden and Council of the Co.
of Huron :
Gentlemen.—I beg leave to report on
the state of Public school education in
the Inspectorate of East Huron, for
the year 1001, as follows 1—
Teacher, salaries—There are 81 rural
School Sections in East Huron, and 02
teachers, there being 8 double schools.
31 of these teachers are gentteinen and
5S'ladies. In 1800 the numbers were
01 male teachers and 28 female tea-
chers. If the change authorized under
the School Act just introduced in the
Ontario Legislature, viz grouping a
number of rural School Sections and
building a central graded school to
which the pupils ate to be drawn in
suitable vans, be carried out, the pro -
sent number, 34 male teachers, wilt be
reduced to about 12, so that in the
whole Inspectorate there will not be
more than 20 male teachers in all.
