Air. Ross' paper.—A very practical
paper on arithmetic was given by Mr.
Ross, Principal of the Seaforth Col-
legiate, Fle outlined the work care-
fully and his work was greatly ap-
preciated by the teachers present. He
remarked that the students coming in-

Miss Thompson; Secretary, Lieut. R.
H. Hoover; Librarian, Dr. Field; Ex-
ecutive Committee, Miss Stinson, Miss

ilanz School, Auditors, Miss Campbell
and Miss Hays; O. E. A. Delegate,
Miss Draper. Mr. 13. S. Scott made
a motion to welcome back the teachers
who had seen Service overseas, This
was heartily endorsed. An interest-
ing part of the programme was the
drills and games of the kindergarten
and primary pupils. Miss McLean
and Miss Woodsdeserved the ap-
plause of the audience for the excel-
lent showing snide by the pupils. Dr.
Field gave an interesting talk on
consolidated schools. He thinks there
are some centres where It would work
out well, while other places where
new schools• are built, it would not do
for soluetime. The little country
school has turned out a tine' type of
citizen but it seems to have outlived
its usefulness. Miss Snyder gave an
excellent paper on the study of- geo-
graphy. The first study dust he the
school and its surroundngs, then• the
township, county, etc.,
Miss Mclver's paper on stimulating
pupils to work was certainly good
advice to those present. Cheerfulness

"1 Hope
Every Citya,d
istrict Will
My Flag"
When Edward, Prince of Wales -eager, bright
eyed, smiling and sincere—arrived in Canada in
August, and when he voiced his great admiration of
the wonderful achievements of Canadians, on the
fields of battle and at home, once again we were
thrilled with joyous pride.
He asked concerning Canada's reconstruction pro-
gramme, and when he was told of the Victory Loan
1919, he graciously consented to the use of his Coat
of Arms on a fag, which is to be the prize of honour
for districts achieving their quota in the loan.
' In dedicating "The Prince's Flag" at Ottawa on
Labor Day, His Royal Highness said in part:--- f
"It is a great joy to me to be associated with the,
loan, which is the bridge between war and peace, and
which is finishing off the job."
"1 hope every city and district will win my flag." i
Striking, and beautiful in design,, this flag will form
not only an unique memento of Victory Year, but a
lasting and outstanding souvenir of the visit of His
Royal Highness—a visit which will remain as one of
the most memorable events in Canada's history. .
The reproduction above shows the design of the
flag. The body is white, the edge red; in the upper
left hand corner is the Union Jack, and in the lower
right hand corner the Prince of Wales' Coat of Arms.
The flag is made in two sizes, 4 feet 6 inches by
9 feet for small cities, towns and villages, and 7 feet
by 13 feet 6 inches for cities of over 10,000 population.
' Canada has been divided into canvas§ing districts
by the Victory Loan Organization, Each city forms _
• one district. Other districts have been determined
according to population.
Each of these canvassing districts has been allotted
,a certain amount in Victory Bonds to sell To win
the. Prince's Flag, therefore, a district has to sell its
allotment. That is the one and simple condition.
Anticipating that many districts will buy far
beyond their allotment, the organization decided that
for each twenty-five per cent, excess of the quota one
Prince of Wales' Crest be awarded, Thus the workers
in a district doubling its quota will be the proud win-
ners of four small crests for their Honour Flag. These
.crests will be sewn to the flag, The Prince's Crest—.

the three ostrich prunes—is shown at the top of the
coat of arms.
1. To every organization with fifty or more employees,
Where seventy-five per cent, of the enrollment invests
a total of ten per cent. of the annual payroll in Victory
Bonds, es supplementary Prince of Wales Flag in
smaller form 48 inches by 34 inches—will be
awarded ,•.
s The allotment for each district has been carefully
considered, and is based on- a conservative estimate
of the purchasing power of the district.
Your district can sell its allotment and thus win the
Prince's Flag, provided each person does his or her
share.
You will gladly do your part and encourage your
neighbour to do his.
Remember YOUR purchase may be the one that
decides whether or not your district is to be the proud
possessor of the Prince's Flag,
