—The Borden Government, knowing it
was supported by the large majority of
the Canadian people, has crushed out ob-

credited remnant to force the gamblers

appointed Ozer fiade that his wishes
are fieuted, Laurier the leader
of the forces of obstruction,
flew into a furious temper be-
cause, forsooth, he was prevented
frona continuing his policy of anarchy.
In that moment he stood forth before
the people of Canada as a petty tyrant,
screaming with anger because his
tyratuaial power had been trodden
under foot. .A.nd the whole ccuntry
is laughing at the exhibition.

—The government is giving ctlreful
consideration to the question of the
establishment of a system of internal
terminal elevators in Western Cana-
da, It is likely that an official an-
nouncement will be made before the
close of the session. At present there
is but one terminal elevator point in
the west, Fort William and Port
Arthur. In the Western States there
are terminal centres scattered all
through the west from which grain
can be shipped all through the year.
It is believed that the establishment
of such a system in the west will tend
to prevent the present blockades and
would greatly facilitate the marketing
ettaiseatdef,the western grain. They would be
106'1E0,0 at places where there are
alternaIetshipPing routes. The plan
has been heartily endorsed by western
grain associations, Lest fall the grain
commission made a thorough investi-
gation into the suleject mad strongly
recommended the s' ablishment of such
a system, More recently the corn-
.misision has been holding an inquiry
as to the beet points at which to hex°
such elevators located. The interest
of the government in this subject its
another evidence of its interest in the
farmers of Western Canada and of its
attempts to solve in a practical man-
ner the problenas of the vvest.

PRINCIPAL SMITH LEAVING.
..araw.•
It is with deepest regtet that we
have to announce the near departore
of elle High School Prineipal. Mr. J. O.
Smith, B, A. Ile has beeu with US
ever inee the opening of our fine
sehool here, and to his faithfal and
erdeient tiervices, much of the success
of the school is clue. Mr. Smith is a
gentleman of ripe schoiarehip. An in-
defatigable worker, and one of
Wieghtsra's very best citizens, Inas-
much as teachers are very often scarce-
ly heard of as citizen, jest going from
1 school to boarding houee or residence,
and in no way entering into the life of
the community, and the town not
being witch the better for their goings
in and out, they have not been as
citizene, of much consequence to the
town, but irr. Mr. Smith's case, he has
taken an active part in everything,
whichavas conducive to the well beiog
of our people. He has taken an active
part in fraternal societiee, has been a
tower of strength to his Church, and
is the type of man, which we deeply
regret to see Winghani lose. Mr.
Snaith is one of Nature's noblemen,
standing four Square to all the winch
that blow, and while we are very
sorry to lose him, yet we are pleased
to know that his new position as
Ptincipal of Ingersoll Collegiate le a
big step in ,advance of his preset
position. However, when some edu-
cational matters are adjosted, we
sincerely hope to have him with us
again in another capacity, of our
educational work. Since. Mr, Sraith
is a teacher of twenty years experience,
his departure is a distinct loss to the
rising womanhood and manhood of
this community, and Ingersoll made
no mistake in selecting him.
Mr. et 0, Smith, B, A ; was ban in
the city of Kingston and received his
eleineutary education in the Peblic'
Schools of that city. On his promotion
to the Senior Fifth Class he won a
MacLeod Scholarship and entered the.
Kipgston Collegiate Institute, where
he received hie secondary edacation
during the principalehip of Dr, A. P.
Knight, Professor`of Animal Biology,
Queen's University, and the late Pro-
fessor W. S. Ellie, Dean of the Faculty
of Education in tb.e same University.
In 1891 he' passed the Junior and
Senior Matriculation with First Class
Honouree winning the Waikins-Schol-
arship for general proficiency and the
honour of the Schultz for Latin and
Greek. He entered Qiieents in the
same year and graduated with First
Class Honours in 1898, receiving ,the
degree of 13. A. He was engaged for
a number of years in, Public School
milk in the county of Fronteimc and
in 1901 entered the Ontario Normal
College, Hamilton, wftere he complet-
ed his professional training, rsc-iving
in 1905 a Specialist's Certificate in
Classics, ...
In the same year he was appointed
Classical Master in Dutton ' Ilieh
School under Mr. 3, A. Taylor, B. A.,.
principal of Dutton H. S. and first
principal of Wingham H. 5, In 1906
he received a similar appointment in
Dundee High School, but in 1007, on
the opening of the new building of
Wingbam .High School, he resigned to
accept the position of Classical Master
under his former prineipal, Mr. J. A.
Taylor. He has been in Winghere
ever Once. In 1910, when a vacar e)
occurred in the principahhip, the B'eh
School Board recognizing hie faithful
work, merit and ability, promotod
him to the position of priacipal. Ow-
ing to Mr. Smith's untiring energy
and personality the school has reach-
ed a, high degree of efficiency and the
esprit de corps is excellent. A recoi d
was made last year in form IV, vihen
it candidatestont of 15 passed, and of
the ten honours form IV candidates in
'Terme county six were students in
Wingham High School.
-Called to Collingwood,
Rev. Donald te, gehapt for the past
four years pastor of Knox Church,
Listowel, has accepted a call to the,
Collindwood Presbyterian Chureh
Ile is a very able preacher and is a
young men of great promise and is no
doubt destined to fill a prominent
niche in the Presbyterian Church of

WINGHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1913.
FROM A TEACHER.
411,0 • I • • • • • • I.
There are two classes of boys for
whoa° evil teodeecies there are at
present no adequate reznediee, These
are temente or those; who ageinet the
wills of their parents absent them-
selves from sehool and. those, who with
or without parental consent are grow-
ing up in idleness and vice. The form-
er olase is moet likely to engage the
attention of the teacher. Truancy is
80 nearly always a first step in
the downward career 01' those who at
length constitute our criminal class
that I might alreoet eay "No truauts,
no criminaie."
Some boys are born bad and some
are bad front association, The latter
have fallen under the influence of a
stronger will an4 are carried along in
a current from whieh they know not
how to etcape. Most bad boys have
become such from lack of parental
control,' Parents are too busy t� at-
tend to their children, too weak to
contend with their boisteroue strength.
Many parents especially of foreigu
birth are not so sharp as their child-
ren, whose wits are sharpened by en-
counters on the street and are not
able to maintain discipline. Truancy,
with the better classes, is often dee to
a difference in ideas as to parental
management. The father . is good-
natured, easy-going and laughs at the
anxiety of the mother as to the eon -
duct of the child or the father is strict
and the mother indelgent and pities
the little fellow and thereby convinces
the child that his father is not jest.
The mother shields the son, deeeivee
the father as to his conduct and hence-
forth his ruin is only a question of
time.
The teacher notices a listless inatten-
tion, a vacancy of mind, the result of
wandering thought'. His mind is not
in the schcol-room. He beconles peev-
ish, irritable, ill-tempered and at last
defiant and be reasons somewhat as
follows : "The restraints of the school-
room are contrasted with the freedom
of the street. His mind dwells on the
jokes, the strange tastes, the raystere
bus hints of cotnpanions of the street,
better posted. than himself. Of course
he fails at school and continues to fail.
fle looks upon school as a prison 6om
which he must escape and be does es-
cape. The school loses sight of him.
His parents follow him up; if not his
parents, at leugth the police,
How is this to be prevented? The
influence of the ordinary school is re,
&ling and elevating to the lower
natures assembled in it. It exercises
control, and some sort of subjection as
an absolute essential to the right de-
veloptnent of any child. Good habits
are formed habits of punctuality, in-
dueetry and self-control. The hearty
co-operation of parents and teacher
in this matter would lead to much
better results, preventing an endless
amount of worry to both parents and
teacher and help •build up character
pure and noble in pupils.

High F clock' Inspector's Report,
Tit report of Mr. 3. E. Wetherell,
M 1., High School Inspector, has
b a received and is very sitiefactory.
tte report states that since last in-
pection substantial additions have
been made to the Equipraent and that
the work of renovation begun in 1911
in Halls and Class.roorns has been
completed. More pictures are re-
quired for the walls and more time is
suggested for Physical Exercises. The
popularity of the school is shown
by the large attendance which may
make an addition to the sehoolineces-
sary in the near future. The tone of
the school is good attd the Board is to
be congratulated on being able to
retain the servicee 'of so competent a
staff far two full yeas without a
change.
The school is placed itt the list of
"approved sehools."

Stove Demonstration.
On toriday and Saturday, May 30th,
and, 31st., Mr. H. W. Deere, of the
Detroit Vapor Stove Co, will be at
Mr. A. Young's Hardware to exhibit
their line. The Detroit Vapour Oil
Stove has no wick and consequently
leo chimney. It produces a hot blue
blaze" from vaporized kerosene and
the cooking utensils can be ,nlaced
directly on the fire. It has been faund
be', testing that water will boil five
minutes sooner on the Detroit Vapour
011 Stove then it will on a wick stove
ale° comparing stove's as to amount
of oil, the Detroit Vapor 011 Stove
will do as much cooking with three
quarts of oil as the wick stove will
with four quarts. The Vapor stove is
made of antealed cast iron, and has
no perforated sheet metal to rust arid
burn out', and will not overheat. It
shatters all pi econceived noti ns about
oil atm e ani rapidly becomes a
favorite wherever used, DJ not fail
to hear Mr. Deere's demonstratinn of
this reliable stove.

In 1810, Three. Gledhill was born in
Yorkshire, Euglancl, and in after
years witla his son Jeese, the present
proprietor, emigrated to Canada and
in the year 1857, established in a small
way a woollen mill at Benmiller to
which the people from far and near
took their wool and in return reeeived
cloth and yarn. The mill, now a
large cement structure, is being op-
erated by Mr, Jesse Gledhill, his son
Ward arid his grandson Clyde, with a
haif dozett other hands. In its 50
years of operation this mill has had
the four fienerations engaged in it.
M. Jesse Gledhill, now nearing tit°

Oo Saturday, May 17ch, the 11. S.
Football team played Woodstock
.Baptist College in Woodstock on the
College grounde. The two teams
we're very evenly matched in every
way as the score shows, it being 2 to 1
in favour of Woodseock, The College
team won the toss and kicked with the
Wind and down a slight incline, This
was their chance to sore and in spite
of a strong defence by Wingbam they
secueed two goals during the first
half-hour. During the second half-
hour W. H. S. boys having the ad-
vantage played hard arid secered one
goal, and were pressing steadily for a
second one when time was called.
Mr. Gunn of Woodstock was referee
and while strict, was fair, giving setts-
faetion to both sides. The College
boys and authorities treated the W.
H. 8. team exceedingly well during
theiti visit. The return game, which
is the final of the Hough Cup Series
will be played on Winghaert Town
Park on Saturday, May 21th, at 1

preciate very much the hearty sup-
port of alleovers of good sport, in title
