Dear Sir, -- Herewith enclosed a copy roil an advertisement which I copied today from "The Toronto Fat - ,riot", a newspaper dated Janu- ary 26, 1841." -"You will note that the subscriber penned ,his a ve tiscment June 1; 1840. He believed in advertising early, and 'often. Since this item is of hi,stor- ica1,...interest, I send it to you, with best wishes. It reads as follows: -Goderich Hotel— The subscriber begs to an- nounce to the public, that in consequence of the flourishing state of the Huron Tract, he has been induced:to engage the premises lately occupied by Judge Reed, which he will open on the -first of June next, as the Goderich Hotel. This establishment is situated in the town of Goderich, and commands a delightful view of Lake Huron. It is now under- going a thorough repair, and, coupled with the additions, the undersigned flatters himself that for style, convenience and com- fort, he may safely challenge competition. 1 E.

Dear Sir, 'As a practising teacher and headmaster, I was sharply ar- :rested by the following head- line on page 14 of your 'issue -bated Thursday, September 13th, -Says UK Pupils Lack Dis- cipline."

READY j'QUR SERV/CE MENS�/�i f WERE THE BOYS YOt! SHOULD HIRE, /F YOU WANT YOUR FURNACE FULL'o 006 To The Editor teachin in a secondary modern school i England,) I leak d 'that Miss Alexia Lostell, R. 3, Exeter, was `not impre ted with the Eng- lish Schools stem" after venti- ng a year teaching children `from the working classes" in a secondary podern school on the Thames riverside near _ondon. Surely, no thinking Canadian would lace much v l e on ;uch a judgment, so sweeping, and based on experience of one chobl; and that in, apparently, a "difficult" are Miss Lostell As very union tunate not to' have had scope' to visit one of the many hund reds of secondary modern schools where the 'pupils not only respect their teachers, but arrive at school much earlier than the statutory time and stay an late in the afternoons to work on projects set for them. Miss Lostell's naive criticism of the grading, by intelligence, of British pupils, Ouggests that she has no accurate apprecia tion. of the education system of the country. It has long been proved, and should by now be quite obvious even to the lay- man, that greater intelligence in a .child does not imply a con respondingly higher degree of morality; and the necessity to grade pupils according to their ability to. learn, if they are severally to achieve the maxi- mum development possible can- not, surely, be gjiestioned. The need for 'all pupils to learn to live as memhers:..of a commun- ity is almost always met by the British schools' sports facilities and those for hobby clubs, var- ious societies, and the countless youth clubs that abound here. It is a pity that Miss Lostell was not enabled to learn about our great comprehensive schools, . where pupils of ail levels of ability learn in separ ate "streams" but may transfer to higher streams if they prove to be "late developers."' Miss Lostell deplo-res the lack i of competition, in the same Classroom, of the highly -intel- ligent and less intelligent pup- ils. As a one-time teacher of a class which contained child- ren of intelligence quotients varying from 145 to 85, I can say- with authority .that there petition in, academic work wheat - ever. The brighter children - were always- almost immeasur- ably in• advance of their less gifted colleagues, who had, per- torce, to be otaught much less ,.,f ifficult matter in an entirely different mariner. It is consid ?red mental cruelty, in these lays, to fetter mental "race. horses" x to 1 am sorry that Miss Lostell, a mathematics specialist, ex- perienced difficulty with the English monetary system—I'll wager she would have won the ' hearts of her Gravesend pupils much sooner than she did 'if she had, at the outset, allowed ,them to initiate her in to the Flying Officer Robert Bar- wick, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam G.

News report from the Ontario Milk Producers' Co-Ordinatint;_ Board is as . follows: Milk Mark= eting is the most talked about topic tit'ese days. What has been achieved so far and what is the future outlook on this subject? Since the meeting of Ontario Dairy industryu strY leaders with thz.. Minister of ---Agriculture, the Hon. William A. Stewart, on January 9, 1962, all in all 19 meetings have been held. In - the first four or five meetings, government officials,. and other experts provided the newly formed board with guidance and advice. On April 4, mem- bers of the board were elected and, the Provisional Milk Mark eting Board came ` into being. An Advisory Board to the Pro- visional Milk Marketing Board was also set up, but a date has still not been finalized for the 70,000 Ontario Dairy farmers to cast their vote for a milk marketing plan. At a recent meeting of the Provisional Milk Marketing Board, 'it was decided to con- duct a vote before November 1, 1962. A small committee met with government officials who were also concerned with the amount of opposition to the plan and lack of agreement at executive level and were doubt- ful if a date for a vote should be finalized at this time. At a meeting in Tojanto on Friday, September 21, 'the Pro- -visional Milk Marketing' Board accepted recommendation of the 'Advisory Board to receive and study further submissions •from milk producer groups relative to changes in the milk market- ing plan by November 1, 1962. Until these recommendations are received by the board and have beene 1 d a t with, the board is not --,i-n--- ,-.position--to -ma any definite statements on fu- ture board policy at the present. Buttermodel Exhibit, CNE: Again an outstanding success this year was the Co-ordinating Board's buttermodel display in the Dairy Lane of the Coliseuni at the CNE.
