EDUOATIOxti r3.L EQUIPMENT' Exeter High School has won an enviable rep- utation among the Secondary Schools of Huron County, and its'raPid, development has meant much to the Citizens of the Southernp ortion of the County. Until a comparatively recent date the Work wascarried on as a Continuation School, but it became apparent that large oppor- tunities were opening outin this conxmnnity for a really progressive_ High School. A small beginning' was made as a three teacher school, but in 1921 it was realized that a fourth teach- er was required to properly cover the course of studies and to gi'v'e that efficiency to the teach- ing staff which would bring the best results, Co se uentlY a u v Science laboratory va s equipped and a Science Master placed in charge of the work. The wisdom of this step in advance was -ap parent' in a striking manlier when the 1922 De- partmental Examinations were reported. Al- though Upper School classes had been organized for the first time just the previous September, out of 59 papers written on, 60% were success- ful., *In Middle School out of 231 at- tempts 78% were successful and of these 56% took honors. In Lower School out of 316 at- tempts 86% were successful and of these 60 took honors. Over 80% of all papers written on throughout the four forms were passed, with honors in 54% of these. Little wonder that this remarkable showing was the talk of the whole district. But this splendid demonstration of efficiency on the part of the teaching staff of Exeter High School had another result, When the Fall term of 1922 opened there were so many registrations of new students attracted by the excellent re- cord of the School that the Board was obliged to ,provide;; more accommodation and engage a fifth teacher. The 1923-1924 term will open on September 4th, with only two changes in the Staff. Hr. E. J. Wethey, M.A., the principal continues at the head of the Department of Mathematics. Miss Ross will not only take the Latin and Frenel 'as formerly, but will also teach Upper re School Latin and.Miss Torrance will ag&in teach the subjects she had last year. The Board has been particularly fortunate in filling the vacan_ cies on tixe Staff. l+'or the position of head of the Science Department, Mr. Henry Bowers, B.A., au honor graduate and Specialist in Science and Mathematics, of Trinity College, Dublin, and a Specialist in Seieuce of Toronto University has been secured. : Mr. Bowers is a young man of great promise and Exeter High School is to be congratulated upon this acquisition to its Staff. Theother vacancy will be filled by the appoint- ment of Mr. J. 'H, McQuarrie, B.A., an honor graduate of Queens University in History. Exeter High School is now fully equipped so that whether the student is seeking the Teach- er's s or a University education, he will find at Exeter the best facilities for, his .ca- reer. Moreover,. Exeter Nigh School will aim to give a good general education to those who may desire to improve their knowledge, irrespective of the professions. SCHOLARSHIPS The Board has provided a list of attractive Scholarships for each'Forni so that effort may be stimulated and encouraged and ability suit- ably recognized. ACCOMMODATION FOR NO-N-1,.ESIDEN `S S Railway y connection With nearby villages is such thatall the class iieri`ods can be attended without serious loss of time. This means a great deal to those coming from outside points. The student will find at Exeter, both in the excellent High School Library and in the large Public Library, additional help iu his studies in the many books of reference and of general liter._ ature available. The Board of Education cordially 'invites the students of Exeter High School District to avail themselves of the facilities provided here, and undertakes to use every endeavor to keep the standard of efficiency high, so that, with ap- lication on the part of the student, the best re- sults may be obtained. High School Training is a necessity -not a luxury. Tr -3 : CALL OF GEORGIAN Belli Georgian Bay —that gleaming stretch- of Lake Huron's waters. dot- ted with 30,000 islaxids of all shapes and sizes as one of the most delight- ful and popular of Canada's summer playgrounds.' It is so beautiful and there is so much to do—canoeing, bathing, ash - lig, sh-lig, yachting—alt these delights' a wait the lover of water. On land there are sports aplenty—tennis, _ { offing, lawn' bowling, picnicing and danc- ing for those on pleasure bent and for those who are weary of the gas' social whirl, hundreds of alluring trails over wooded heights and camp- ing grounds where primitive pleas- ures restore the jaded spirits of the city dweller. The shoreline of the Bay is dotted M1 with resorts to suit every taste. The breezes from across the broad ex- panse of Lake Huron are always cool and invigorating, and the' waters a- bound in black bass, meskinonge, sal- mon trout and other fish. Hotel ac- commodation is good. All the chief points' on Georgian Bay are.reached by Canadian Nation- al Railways arid descriptive booklet may be procured free from any of their agents.

W. T. Hunter, district horticultur- ist. This is an increase of 20 per cent over last year and a record for the district.

Several new air stations are to be opened in , Ontario and Quebec in the near future for the, purpose., of extending the forest area to be pa- trolled by airplanes.: A base is to be established at. Ramsay Lake near Sudbury, and from this point all Ontario work will radiate; opera- tions being carried op at Orient - Bay, Remi Lake and at least two other substations not yet announced. If tlfe' Canadian ire -war exports of flour are considered as 100, the Dominion's average export total between 1921 and 1923 can be con- sidered as 207. Comparatively, pre-war exports of the United States ;being ratedi-at 100, its pres- ent export is at the rate of 147. This indicates that Canada has more than doubled her export trade in ' flour while the United States has increased its' trade by 47 per cent. Before the war Canada ex- ported 3,832,000 barrels, while at present her exports average 7,885,- 000 barrels a year.—"Journal of Commerce. • Mr. Georges ;Delrue, one of the most important personages of France arrived in Montreal by the S.S. "Minnedosa" to take up resi-' dence at St. Johns, Que. Georges is two and a half years old and has spent most of his life with his grand parents in Tourcoin, a small town on the border line of Belgium and France. The journey from the old homestead, via Antwerp, Georges made alone but never out of sight of the watchful eyes of the officials and servants of the company. Major General Lord Lovett, a passenger on the Canadian Pacifica liner "Montcalm, and delegate to the British Empire Forestry- Con- ference, Ottawa, said in connection with his investigations into Cana- dian forestry methods and applied science, "England has but a small forest area in comparison to Can- ada, nevertheless, her forests were depleted two-thirds to meet the emergencies of the War, -and now we are determined to recover this doss` by practical reforestation. We have been working at this for the last three years and expect to make a completion of, Qnr work ether 'The total vague or -see peeve or fur - bearing' animals taken in the Do- sniiuion during the season of 1921-22 Tauias $17,438,800, an increaseover the previous year of $7,287,273, or 72 per cent., and the number of pelts of all kinds was •4,366,790, an in- crease over the previous season 'of • 48 per cent.

Tests of ceramic clay resources in British Columbia are being plan- ned this summer by the British Columbia Government.

A'' recluction of express rateson westward moving business between Europe and Canada was announced by the Foreign Department of the Dominion Express 'Company re- cently. This reduction on westbound shipments follows a similar cut on shipments from Europe to' Canada made a little while ago, and amounts to a reduction of approximately twenty per cent. on the trans -ocean trip. The rates came into effect on July 9 between all points in Canada and Europe.
