Bliss Angeline Davis, of Centralia,
continued the subject and in a very
lucid manner discussed the work to
be
taken and the t to method of teachingt»
i
Mr. Wm. Prendergast, I1.A., L'aed,
of the Normal School, Toronto, in a
very pleasing manner introduced
Principles of Style in Composition,qubting )several speakers to show
that it was their style that gripped.
their hearers, therefore style is that
important thing in composition. He
would look for good styles in edi-
torials and books. The address was
a masterpiece,
Inspector Tom explained the a-
mendments to the School Act and
regulations.
Thursday Afternoon
friss Margaret Peck introduced
Entrance and Graduation Examina-
tion. She believed the papers in
1921 in these examinations were, as
a whole, fair and practical tests, The
course, however, in some subjects is
too lengthy, particularly history for
entrance, and science for graduation.
The practical problems in arithmetic
and the grammar paper in its trend
toward being a language test are
commendable.
Miss Hazel Noble followed on the
same subject and emphasized that in
order to make these examinations a
success the pupils must attend regu-
larly and the parents must be im-
presed with the importance of regu-
lar attendance.
Mr. Prendergast gave a good ad-
dress an Drill in Arithmetic. He
knew there was a tendency tolook
for short ways in working problems,
but said that it didn't work for ac-
curacy.
Busy Work for Rural Schools was
introduced by Miss Tabitha Kempton
of Goderich R. R. No. 3, who advo-
cated plenty of seatwork of a varied
character. For infant clases she
would provide picture postcards cut
in sections; toothpicks for numbers;
sand for moulding.and blank maps
for the teaching of geography. Miss
M. Lansing, of Clinton, followed. She
claimed that busy work in the seats
helped attention and order. Seat
work should be along lessons pre -

Air Pager Frayne, harness maker,
is reeti'ng from busing s, having la;t
week sold his ;tot.k to Mr. Maurine
Quante, who tales over the business
nett Monday. After learning his
trade. in Exeter ,Mr, Frayne 44 years
ago last 'lard went into business for
himself, and has continuously been in
the same business ever since. There
are only two other men in Exeter now
actively engaged in. business, and who
have been continuously so for a
greater length of time --Jas. Dignan
and Dr. Browning. Dr, Sweat was in
busines.. when Mr. Frayne started, but
for a few vaars be was out of town.
In. the cold days, forty years ago, there
were five harness shops here, ''on -
ducted by Wiila.nt Fanson, John Tre-
ble„ George Eaerett, Charles Everett,
and Peer Frayne. There have been,
many ch.utgcs in. the days that have
passed since then len all the. business
Places, and Mr. Frayne has seen many
men come and go. A. notable feature
of \ire Frayne:'s business Career was
that during those 44 years he very sel-
dom, missed being in his workshop at
sek.n Q'eloek in the morning — even
in. these later days when many busy-
ness men go to work between eight
ani nine o'clock, Mr. Frayne was on
the School Board foe 18 years, and 12
years ch3:rman, stn t tar 17 years he
was superiantendent ,of the James Sar.
Sunday School. He has well earned
g period of rest, and we trust that
he may continua ren, good health for
many years to corn:, and enjoy his
