Representatives of the Collegiate and High School boards of Goderich, Winghare, Seaforth and Clinton niet in Clinton yesterday afternoon and talked over matters relating to the educational welfare of the county. An .organization was foamed for the county the name chosen 'being "The Huron County Trustees' Association", Mr. W. Brydone being appointed president and Mr. R. E. Manning secretary. The general situation was discussed and it was decided that the organization would meet septi -annual- ly but that on the request of any Co] - legate or High school board a spec- ial meeting might be called, THE CI-IAUTAUQUA. On Tuesday afternoon next, July 18th, the four-day Chautauqua opens with afternoon and evening sessions each day. The meetings will be held in the Collegiate grounds, the Chautauqua bringing along their Iarge tent and chairs The situation will be pleas- ant and, judging from the way tick- ets are selling, the attendance will be a Iarge one. Those who cannot attend all the sessions should arrange to take in at least some of them. There are few families which cannot use at least one ticket. This is the first time a Chautauqua has been brought right to the door and Clinton citizens and the surrounding community should encourage the enterprise of those who have made it possible. The concert advertised on the pro- grams has been, withdrawn at the request of the Girls' Auxiliary, and a concert by The London Concert Party will be given on Wednesday af- ternoon and evening in addition to the lecture by Miss Boulton in the af- ternoon and the trained animal show, in the evening, the following artists taking part:. F. Lingforth Willgoose, Principal of London Conservatory of Music, is an Englishman who has taken grad- uate honors in the New England Con- servatory of Music in general music- ianship. He has a pleasing and mel- odious tenor voice, and has had wide experience as an accompanist to many well-known artists. Miss Elsa Eitchener is a young so- prano, with a remarkable lyric voice, whose hone is in Toronto, and has become a member of the London Con- cert Party. She sings with much spirit, and expression, and does equal- ly well some of the large things, and the lighter fantastic songs. Miss Florence Dewey is a violin- ist and contralto of note. Herman •J. Brouwer is a splendid baritone. He sings some of the great things in anisic with a rich, strong and mellow baritone voice that pleases wonderously. He is also a leader of community singing of wide expet'ience. The Old Song Singers, who will appear both afternoon and evening of the fourth day, is an unique organiz- ation that has attracted a good deal of attention because of its very ar- tistic methods of presenting the best of the old songs. Their repretoire is replete with all the best -loved songs selected from among the songs of former days of all English speaking people. The songs are not only pre- sented artistically so far as the vo- cal work is concerned, but they are also presented artistically in all their settings. The stage is decorated with much thought and the costumes of the old time period are selected, so that one is taken back to the old times as the program is being pre- sented. They take one on journeys into the days of yesterday. Rev. Dr. Robert Norwood, of Phil- adelphia, who lectures on the fourth ', day on the subject of "The Dominion and Its Destiny," is Canadians born and bred, and has spent most of his life in Ontario. He comes back now with a vigorous message that will stir all Canadian hearts, HIe is not only a preacher and orator but also a poet of high�xartk, having published several wineries of poems that have attracted wide attention, following are some press notes of Mr, Nor- wood: From the Toronto "Saturday Night." "Mr. Norwood is a Canadian poet of genuine inspiration and fine equipment. In a• day when much verse is slipshod and formless, a nnud- dy libation poured before careless gods, it is pleasant to read work so well knit and so richly and skillfully adorned as his." From Philadelphia "Public Led- ger," written in Social Chat" by Christopher Morley, Robert Norwood the eminently broad-minded dontinie, drinks two cups of tea at lunch , just as we do Again We feel it necessary to acknowledge this compliment, and say-withpaled e t rfec • candor that if we were a parson we would like to be just the kind of parson that Mr. Nor - Weed is,• Any member of the Girls' Auxil- iary will supply a ticket or they tail bo procured at PAWS, A QTJIOKK RE'T'URN.' "I wish to thank you for the adver- tisement recently published in your paper," writes a lady in sending a remittance for a "Lost" ad: published recently. "I recovered my property the day after your paper was Prin- ted." THE BOY SCOUTS. , The Clinton Tropp got away to Camp on Monday morning.

An exciting baseball game was played on the local diamond on Tues- day evening between Taxman's "Old Timers," and a team made up of members of the town council and officials.

The twenty-third annual conven- tion of the Huron County Women's Christian Temperance Union niet in Wesley church, Clinton, on Tuesday .and Weclensday of this week and it was considered to be one of the most successful coventions ever held both as to attendance and enthus- iasm. Representatives were present front nearly every Union in the County. Tuesday afternoon was taken up pretty much with the r'eeeiving of reports, appointing of committees, etc., a short address also being giv- en by Miss Morton, Provincial Or- ganizer. The president, Mrs. Beav- ers of Exeter, occupied the chair,. At six o'clock tea was served in the dining room below stairs for the delegates and members of the local Union. An address of welcome was given by Mrs. McCamus, which was replied to by Miss Gregory, Exeter, Others also spoke and a very happy social time was spent.

The Rev, S. Anderson, on request of the president, spoke a few words to the convention, and the 'meeting was dismissed by a few words of prayer from the Rev, E. 0. Fordo, Wednesday morning the election of officers took place, resulting in the re-election of the officers as follows: President, Mrs, B. W. F.

A memorial service for four mon- bets vette have died during the year was conducted by the president« Sir Hobert Laird Borden Who last week resigned as leader of the Unionist Government and who will on Saturday formally resign as Prince Minister of Canada. Sir Robert Borden held the post of first statesman in Canada through the most trying period of its history and was the only premier who among the Allied countries held the position throughout the war. His personality made possible the forming of the Union Government in 1917, when the course seemed the only one open, and probably no Canadian premier ever so fully enjoyed the confidence of the people of all classes. Ev- en those who were formerly opposed to him have been forced to acknowl- edge his statesmanlike uualities when they saw them recognized and counted upon by the statesmen of the Allied countries during the stress- ful clays of war. He is not and never has been a politician; he would long ago have resigned from his position only that his sense of public duty kept hint to it, even in the face of bitter opposition and the carp- ing criticism of petty enemies. One of his greatest signs of strength was the quality he had of going'quietly about his work, doing his duty as he saw it, paying little heed to either praise or blame. His place in the his- tbry of Canada is assured. He is a statesman who has done much for which we as a nation will honour him in days to come and the public life of this country will be the poorer if he withdraws entirely from it. Should the decide to accept the post of Canadian representative at Washington there is no one who would be so acceptable to the American People and there is no one who would any more worthily represent Canada than he, Hon. Arthur 1Vleighen has been called upon by the Governor-General to form a cabinet. KILTIES GOOD FELLOWS. There will be no band concert on Thursday evening of next week but on Tuesday evening the Kitties will parade through town and to the Col- legiate grounds, where the Chautau- qua opens on that day, and will give a short coucert before the meeting opens.
