In it gaine of football ' at Wingham •

Won from Wingham by a score of
2 to 1, • •
The final genie of the senior W. F.
A. series was played at Dundas, Sat-
urday, between Seaforth and Dundee.
The result was a win for Seaforth by
three goals to two, although a protest
has been entered by the home team
on account of Referee Harry W.
Brawn's decision in not allowing •the
last goal shot by Dundas. Dundas
won the toss and decided to play with
the sun at their books. The local boys
rushed the ball up tt once, keepingit
near the Seaforth goal and forcing
several corners after several minutes'
olay.• Corkin scored the first goal for
Dundas. The next goal went to Sea -
forth; being put in by Munroe. The
next goal also went to Seaforth on it
nice pass from , the corner, which
Shittle put through. This ended the :
scoring for the first half, the whistle
blowing with the score standing 2 to I
in favor of Seaforth. The second half
started with a rush, and .Tones scored
for Dundas within the first minute's
play,' thus evening up matters. Sea -
forth now forced the playing and
Shittle again shot between the posts.
Just a couple of minutes before time
was called from a TIAN up in. Vent of
the Seaforth goal, Nelson scored for
Dundas bot the referee would not al-
low it. 'The final score stood 3 to 2,
pending the decision which is given on
the protest.

While the modern system of school
work may be deficient in some res-
pects and no doubt the tendency is to
take on more work and too many
branches of study for the pupil to mas-
ter thoroughly in the time the average
boy or girl is allowed for echooling,.
yet there is a fault on the part of par-
ents which is persistently left out of
account in the argument of the critic.
The pupils, especially in the higher
grades, are allowed to spend the nights
during the week in various amuse-
ments which distract their minds from
school work, and the loss of sleepin-
capaciates them for good work during
school hours,
