J. Gib­ bons.

The insuring public were urged to become more fire conscious in so far as protecting their property is concern­ ed. The motto “It is easier to repair than to reconstruct” was frequently mentioned. Some of the chief fire prevention topics discussed were along the lines of repairing broken lightning rods, re­ building dangerous chimneys, properly curing ha5r before mowing same, and greater care being exercised at har­ vesting and threshing time in smoking and the careless use of matches. The meeting was attended by some sixty delegates, and was presided over by group president, Mr. Thomas Ing­ lis of Clifford.

DeLaporte of the Depart­ ment and Inspectors Gave Addresses With Robert Shortreed,, the presi­ dent, in the chair, the annual*conven­ tion of the Huron County Trustees’ and Ratepayers* Association was held in Brussels on Thursday with an in­ teresting program. In his presidential address, Mr, Shortreed referred to the several fac­ tors contributing to the educational system and R. J. Bowman, reeve of Brussels, extended a welcome to the delegates, followed by W. J. Hender­ son, in the absence of Warden James Leiper, of Huron County, who was unable to be present. M. A. Campbell, secretary-treasurer of the Ontario Trustees' and Ratepay­ ers’ Association, introduced Miss L. H. DeLaporte, assistant to Dr. Stoth- ers, inspector of auxiliary classes for those requiring special help owing to some physical or mental disability. Miss DeLaporte said the aim is to give every child an equal opportunity. One of the main difficulties,\she said, is the belief that all children are alike in ability. Some of the main causes found to be retarding children in mak­ ing progress are defective hearing, de­ fective vision, or some peculiarity of mental functioning. She told of specific cases where the required assistance had been given by this department, on which 100% grant is paid. E. C. Beacom, in leading the dis­ cussion on the address of Miss De­ Laporte, stated that a survey had al­ ready been made in his inspectorate, and that one such auxiliary class was doing good work in Goderich. He in­ timated that a survey of the rest of the county would be made in the near future. James H. Kinkead, I.P.S, for North Huron, gave a comprehensive talk on grants, which, he intimated, are based on three things, salary of teacher, av­ erage attendance and equipment. Miss Wheeler, school music teacher, with pupils from three -schools, No. 4 Morris, No. 3 Grey, and No. 3 Morris, gave a delightful program of singing. Mr, Beacom told of how the trans­ portation problem had been solved in his inspectorate—a grant of 50% be­ ing made by the department,' the re­ maining 50% being paid, in most cas­ es, by the sections. Officers were re-elected as follows.: President, Robert Shortreed; vice- president, Reuben Goetz;* secretary­ treasurer, Mrs. R. Davidson; commit­ tee, Lyle Hopper and Theodore Hab- erer.
