She has made a good begi wins; and as she becoutes better acqu:cinte:i With the character of the worst, will Prove a valuable addition to the staff The work of the staff, as a whole, Con- tinues satfsfactorly and there is no lack of harmony and cc -operation. The class and general dis ipline is good, The attendance is not more than "fair," but is much better than the average of the other urban schools of the Inepeotorate; there continues to be each year much sickness due to con. trigious diseacrs; their prevalence is due to a lax ptciulic sentiment which renders very difficult the enforc. went of the Regulations dealing with such diseases. The Renee necessary to complete the standard equipment have been ex- .,, plained to the Principal; itis necessary for these to be purchased before June 1st, as otherwise the Government would not assign a grant to the school. The condition of the classes in all the rooms is satisfactory; the school is well swept and ducted; the class looms are warm, considerable heat even goes to waste. It is a pity that such fine school grounds should look so barren ard neglected, Its appearance would be much improved by removing the fence from the west and south, The front could be made into a lawn with some 'flower beds properly arranged. There should be cement walks leading to the back eutrances, I should be glad to confer with you on improvements such as the above which I am sure yota will consider worth while: Killed in Action The Toronto Daily Star the other day, contained the photo of Reginald B. Turnbull, a cousin of Mr. P., Gardi- ner of Blyth, and had the following to say; "Particularly pathetic aro the circumstances surrounding the death in action of Reginald 13. Turnbull, son' of Wm.

The opening of epring dude a great- er part of the world facing a very serious situation as regards food sup- ply, The war in Europe has with. drawn sixty millions of people from productive occupations in civil life, Millions of acres of otherwise produc- tive soil lie waste, plowed by guns and Aiello. The result is that ten of the nations at war are on rations, six of these ^are approaching famine and practically every other country in the world is feeling the pinch of food ehoetege. Our European allies are feeling this pinch especially severe, but they are already producing to al- most their full capacity. Hence they look to Canada as yet unfurrowed by the wheels of war to come to their aid with such a bountiful harvest this year ae will remove all anxiety as to the outcome of the fight with Ger- many. • Canada sees this ber special duty, nut ehe is handicapped by the lack of laborers. Ontario alone requires 20,000 additional farm helpers, The government has taken up the question and through the organization of a Resources Committee has made sever- al arrangements by which men are releaeed for farm work. By no means the feast important of these arrange. menta is one which permits the 'High Sohool boy to help in the great spring drive for greater f reduction, It is firmly believed that a large number of students will take advan- tage of this arrangement beoauec any thinking boy cannot fail to see that a few menthe spent on the farm will be a benefit to himself as well as to hie couutry. It frees him from two month's examination worries; it trans- ports him from the rather monotonous, though eeholarly atmosphere of the school, to the wholesome and interest- ing life on the farm, It permits him to enter a new place of business, for is not the farmer a business man just the trams as the merchant or stock broker? Lie has the opportunity of attending a new school; he learns to become a competent horseman; a 4t dge'aof stock* becomes familiar with the respective values of farm products, becomes interested in the producing powers of the soil and studies the chemistry of the same in nature's laboratory. Everyday he fixes in his mind by application, some principle of mechanics, Furthermore he develops his originality and mechanical ability, for practically everyday he meets and solves some problem which is new to him, thus he learns to overcome his own difficulties and develops self. confidence, In performing the various farm duties he brings into play every muscle in his body and undergoes un - cons iously an advanced course of physical training. He develops a healthy appetite, a well -formed body and an observant wholesome mind, Besides helping himself the school boy will give timely aid to the farmer. It is written "As a man eoweth so shall he also reaps" This may be taken quite literallyiu the case of the farmer, If be is unable to put in a large acerage he cannot expect a large crop. Then too every minute is valu- able in needing time; invariably the early sown crops are the most satis- factory, The schoolboy by relieving the farmer of the lighter though ab. solutely necessary duties around the farm permits him to concentrate all his energies on the planting of his crop, with the result that it is sown earlier, is of larger acreage, an& will give better results. At harvest time extra help means a better saved crop. This crop will be, more than usually valuable this year. With all livestock, marketing at double the .normal rates, with all grain's at record pricey, every extra ' bushel and every extra acro means an abnormally large revenue to the farmer. Hence, since the etudent cancertattly help the farmer to proacde more, he can help him very materiale ly along financial lines. Be helping the farmer the school boy gives invaluable ail to tbe Empire. The Empire is made up of individuals; the strength then depends on the strength anti resources 'of these indiv., 'Aurae. Taking a more'praotioal 'case wo have thti fact that the farmer regulates the price of farm products' by the amount he produces. An abundant crop means cheaper food. At the present time food prices in England are so high that poor women and children are clamouring for the mere substinapce of life. These child. ren are the men et the earning gentle, atione. Without proper food they, cannot develop into sturdy, properly' balanced manhood or womanhocd,' Into the kind of citizens that make up a great nation. But every extra bush- el brings proper food nearer these children and mattes possible a stronger race of Eogllshmen. - Besides helping alleviate the p or. erty in England. the eittra production will help to bring the war to a con. ciuLa(an satisfactory to as, Lloyd George in hie letter ter the workers On PATRIOTIC NOTES Shipped to National Service (Jonr- initleo as Field comforts 30 flannel day shirts, value $8100; 14 pairs of snake, value $10 10.
