He stated that Hydro and waterworks were brought forward by the citizen's of committee and they always stood be- bi question in the towns was more hind the Council in pushing them to a wages and shorter hours, which was; finish. lie stated that in civic improve- increasing the high cost of living. He- ments Clinton was behind the tithes, stated that many farmers were now. the school system was bad,'and a new seeding down their farms and going in - He• school would soon have to be built. This will cost money but It will be the Cheapest in the end when you consider your children's health. He toad of the minor troubles of men and boys who passed before hint in the military ex- aminations, which would have been re- medied in the school days if proper at- tention had been given by regular in- spection at school. Other countries are advanced in this and we are away be- hind England and United States, though many Canadian cities now have medical inspection at the schools. A new school should combine in the new ideas such as manual training and Domestic science. After the Public school, the Collegiate Institute Board would be call- ed upon to rebuild. The Dr, remarked that if the Trustees were not alive to their duty, they should be pushed out and new ones put in, TOWN BEAUTIFYING THE FARMER'S VIEWPOINT Reeve N. W. Trewartha, of Godericfx Township, described himself as living; in a country home but doing business; in the town. He was sorry to state hat in some places a wide gulf was sing formed between the farmers and t e townspeople, as both. required each her, iu business and social life. One' Loc -al News Principal Boucle, of the Public School in his opening remarks stated that he knew of no town that had such a beauti fui location as the town of Clinton, and if the citizens would unite it would be the most beautiful town west of 'Tor onto. • The Horticultural Society had already distributed 200 ruse bushes. We have excellent streets, good side- walks, and he congratulated the town Council in at last fixing up the Library Park, The flower beds out in front of the residences added to the appear- ance of the town. He hoped the'Coun- cil would deal with the matter of having the grass cut in front of vacant lots, as maybe the citizens living next it was trying to snake a pretty place of his own property. The Horticultural Society was a live society and by the end of the fall would show good re- sults.

Libby, Manager of the- Clinton heClinton Knitting Co., stated that if all. the other subjects are acted upon this subject was not necessary as their would be help for his and all the other manufacturers. There would be no, necessity to go to other towns with: branches as the overhead expenses. were greater when not under rone roof. The stale help was now p female help was very scarce. Dr. Shaw mentioned that a new lirni;r j:) '' would like to come here, if houses could he had for their employees as it was a structural steel plant. THE BOARD 'OF TRADE —FROM A CUSTOMER Principal Treleaven, of the C.C.I., told the secret of Woolworth, who started a liig business by selling toe articles. He advised the nserchants to make their stores attractive to their customers, also to secure the confid- ence of the customer;' have one price for everyone; give courteous h'eatntent to the customer; and deal fairly with then. Every store -keeper should be a helper to one another, He suggested a merchant's League when 511 the lat- est ideas in advertising, writing of ads. and special sales, would be dealt with which would add more business to the town.
