Liberal party in the coeotry to think that the actions of their representatives in Parlia- ment have pleasect every enemy of the British Empire the woild over. * * —If Laurier wishes to regain the confi- dence of the people he must first realize— however distasteful that realization may be—that this country is British and has every intentioo, of remaining so. * * * —Judging by the mageificent budget presented by Hon.

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.

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 Canada.

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." Gone Horne. After a lingering illness of one year, fermi anaemia, Mr. Miirdoch McDuff Fleming of Listowel was called home on Thursday of last week.

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. Huron's Industries. Among the many rnenufacturing concerns in the county of Huron, the writer for the first time visited one most pictureequely situated. at Ben - miller in the township of Colborne. 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° tout, (Wore years, is still hele And active, being itt his mills every day.
