Theme grants are now paid direct from the Treasury Department of the Provlacial Government to the nhool boards, so that the amount of the school gnat not paid by the county council win mo Wager appear in the financial state- ments of the corny. This step L to be commended, as the former system was cumbersome and the grants passed theough the hands of both tbe county and the township treasur- ers before being paid to the schools.

Efforts were wade this year to have a continuation school established at thin centre, but, while the ratepayers voted In favor of the project, tag did not teel able to provide the necessary additional accommodation at this time. The need for a school doing more ad- vanced work 1n this locality 1s obvious, as the towtrblps ot Ashfield and West Wawanoah are remote from all sec- enda?> schools. No doubt tate proposal will receive favorable conslderatlon when economic conditions show great- er improvement. _uhg pumper. or 1110 School entrance candidates d)d not t etch the nigh total of the former year, as coosiderabie variation exists in this regard from year to year. There were In alt 329 candidates, of whom 281 or elgbty-ave per cent. were successful, as com- pared wfth 331 candidates and 310 passing during 1933. The percentage of successful candidates wee quite satisfactory and reflects the compe- tent instruction being given In the school by tee great majority of the teachers. A considerable number of the .suc- cessful candidates at the High School entrance examination from beth tae rural and urban schools were .gala awarded certl icates on the recommen- dation of the princlpMs and wtthowt the aeoessite of wilting the novae*. thane set by the Department of Edu- cation. This year 92 pupils, or 33 per cent of the successful catdtdates, were awarded standing In this manner. The system to use in this inspectorate for some years bas proved quite sate Mfactory and It is intended to ma- tinee it in force for the present year. It ix the policy of the Department of Educetlon to leaven the number of de- partmental examinations pupils moa try and to puce more emphasis on the examinatloes held in the pupil's ow. school. This, it is generally agreed, is a step 1a the rlgbt dire tfan.

E. C. Barroom, I. P. 8. tlnroa, West. EAST HUROlr Gentlemen. -1 have the honor to submit for your conelderatlon the fol- lowing report of the condition of the schools In East Huron for the year 194. Yours respectfully, JOEIN M. r11fII.D. The only changes taking piece in the organisation of the schools for this year were the addition of • teacher to the Cranbrook school and the reduction of the staff of Lower Wingham from two teachers to o.e; the latter change was lnadviseble, as the school is too large tor effective work for one teacher and the coda of the second is folly covered by the grants. The additional teacher at Craebrook was to e.abte them tq, oper- ate a Slab form. year there were forty-twe teachers with first -claw certificates; this year there were fatty -three. With no provision for second-class teachers after 1665, it cannot be long before teachers with encb certificates will be supplanted by those of the higher grade. Two who had Waded the sec- ond -year normal course secured posi- tions in East Huron; there can be no doubt that the additional year's train- ing improved their teaching ability. The present Government cashiered that the same regret could be obtained otherwise and at a lower cost, but the pians for such coarses bave at Yet been completed; it is possible that refrainer eNrese may be t•orthee ger the more experienced teachers who eau still be beneAtted by 18e later develop- ments In education. The attendance suffered somewhat from the extreme cold weather of Jan- uary and February and In a few schools in September from infantile paralysis; two deaths were recorded. Twenty years ago or tees It with un- usual not to find a child in alnibst every school crippled by the disease. Selene* bas made such' progress in late years that such scourges as moan - pox. scarlet fever, diphtheria and In- fantile paralysis are being overcome. In tbls figbt the Provincial Board of Health with the co-operation of the medical health of Leers and the teach- ers (especially when better equipped for lb* service) are doing a very In. preestve work. in the rural schools the highest . percentage of attendance is ninety-eight and the lowest •eventy- five. The urban srhoo!s average al- most ninety-five perfect attendance. The salaries et teachers took a fur- ther drop ibis year, due Iargely to 15. over ritide.".t do net think It fair for school boards to take too mach advantage of this condition: the ser. Hees of a teacher should not he con- sidered as ■ commodity, subdect to the law of supply and demand; the human element should be take. Into consid- eratlon. Many schools are paying a salary of only $450; at this salary no Government grants are paid. An ad- ditional $100 to this clary world be fully eovered by the grants except for teachers with Interim second-class cer- tificates and would give than a small .nrphie above their neceawry expenses. The Government is willing and able to pay the grant.. A11 the school sections closed the year wltf a balance, soma with a very (obstinate! surplus. Many have grad- ually reduced their ba_ance during theme poor years to an amount barely sufficient to carry them over. Mor- ris 1s the only township in which the town.hip grant and special levy were Vet paid In fan. During the year sanitary chemical were *metalled in eleven school buildings, making thirty- wo in all; the value to the health and comfort of the chndren catmot be overesti- mated.

Aare Masse .s the drat recorded sermon preached br the Apostle Peter, It aur called forth by the mocking re- marks of the crowd after the coming of the Holy Ghat on the day of Pentecost.

Tkq bad seen Ills mincles and amnda.a; shay themselves had civi- lised alfas a.4 w.•re verily wicked to the dollar of ft even though Ma death at their hands had been decreed be- torebaad by (led. Peter in using the words "determinate counsel and fore- knowledge of God" pointed out to Ills !isteeers that Jesus was delivered ac- cording to the previous Intention and design of God. The reason why this wee empbasised by Peter, was that he mlgbt convince the Jews that Jesus was not delivered by weakness, or De- cease He was unable to rescue Him- self. Hath an opinion would have been 4.eondstent with the belief that He was the Mee 5. it woe, then, to as- sert the dignity of Jesna, and to show that His dime was in accordance VIM the Axed design of God, and there- fore, that 1t did not Interfere to tM least with His claims to be the *s. •las. The tale thing Jesus entreaty alarmed when He said to Pilate: "Thos eouldeat hare no power at all agafest me, except it were given thea from above: Stereos* he that deliv- ered Me unto thee bath the greater des." He, owes so timid, now charged 431* 0.entrymae regardless of their an- ger and Ma own danger, with that. atrocious Mute. It was a striking in- ataaea of tbe fidelity of the preacher wbdh seas, de Nathan did to David, "Thou art Melon." Petr then proceeds& to state the male pail Maim rebind es Jews b old could sol be tiro ernes Mos such would sot bewonslsteet with the promises of SeriptatR Jesus was the Prance of lite (AeU'$:15), and had life in Himself (Jolts 1:4), and Be had power to iy bows His life, and 10 take 11 &gab (John 10:18). 8e came, also, that through death He might destroy ides that had the power of death, that 1s, the devil (Hebrews 2:14) ; and as It was His purpose to gain this victory, Be could not be de- feated in it by being confined to the grave. 25 -23. -Thus deetri.s that the Ma stab must rine from the dead, Peter proceeded to promo by a quotation from the Old Testament -Psalm 16:8.11. The Person referred to la the psalm ex- pected to be railed from the dead. That expectation !'eller declared was now fulfilled; and the Meeslah was filled with joy In ins exaltation to the throne of the videerse.
