POSTAGE PROBABLE_, With costs of everything entering. into " the produetioon of a weekly newspaper increasing rather than decreasing the costs are likely to be further added to by another in- crease in postage. The postoffice de- partment is ]'arced with a considerab- le' deficit for the past :fiscal year, and it is intimated that the postage on newspapers may be considerably increased.

Jr. 3rd: Erna Garrett ,71; Irene Garrett, 70; Harry Crich, . 67; Glen Layton. 2nd: Viola Pepper, Lloyd Walters. Pr.: Donald Crich, Frank Falcon - The total number of pupils on the roll was 3235, an increase:of 104 ov- er the attendance last year; the av- erage attendance for the present year was 2464, an increase of 105 ov- er last year, showing us change in regularity. One of the chief draw- backs to the advancement of pupils is due to irregular attendance. It is a detriment to the absentees and is also harmful to the rest of the pu- pils and the lessons lost must be re- peated, The chief cause of absence is due to ,sickness, especially in the rural schools. Pupils lost 22400 days in 1930 from this cause which, if it could be verified, would indicate an alarming health condition: It is, however, given as a ready excuse for absence, when the cause is other- wise. Other main causes are hone help and parental neglect; there were only 19 cases of truancy, 15 of which were in the towns. There were 330 candidates at the Entrance Examination, of whom 282 succeeded in passing; this gives a percentage of successful candidates of 84, which is higher than in crdin- ary years and considerably higher than the average over the province. The average of all successful candi- dates was 13 years and 5 months. There are only a few schools pay- ing salaries less than 51000, what may be done in a year of clepreseion and under reduced grants can only be guessed at. A reduction to com- petent teachers of experience would bo discouraging and disappointing. Total salaries in the Inspectorate a- mounted to $115,355. The • total grants paid reached the sum of 533,- 462, The rural schools carry a bal- ance of $86,356 over to the present year. The urban schools carry a negligible sunt. The total local as- sessment for the Inspectorate is $18,- 637,124. 1kio new schools were built this year; improvements were made and the properties are as a rule well ear- ed for. About six new schools are !acidly needed; these are unfit for children in Such a county as this. Otherwise the Inspectorate ihas rea- son to be proud cif its school build- ings and the equipment furnished them. Those marked with asterisks were absent for examinations.

The fatal acci- dents reported numbered 25, as a- gainst 31 in February last year. The total benefits awarded a mounted to $505,122.68, .of which $413,873.73 was for' compensation' and $91,248.95. foi medical . aid. The total benefits awarded during last February amounted to $613,991.11, Kindergartens, Household Science and ManualT rainin g•.

De rt t t g t.by. Public Speaking .has become a prom- inent'feature; very considerable tal- ent is exhibited, Qualified teaching in Music is ex- tending to the rural schools; Howick and Tuckersnith seem most inter- ested. I expect that instruction will be given this year in all the urban centres; there is no reason why the child's education should not be ex- tended to one Of life's greatest en- joyments. There was added 51000–worth of books to the rural school libraries; their growth has been consistent for several years past. The Penny Banks in Clinton, Sea - forth and Winghani are in a prosper- ous condition; in spite of the trade depression the balances are substan- tially higher than they were last year. A successful meeting of the Teach- ers' Institute was held in Winghani; Dr. Amoss, Inspector of Auxiliary Classes, added much to the success of the meetings,, In conclusion, I wish .to thank the Secretaries of . the schools for the promptness with which they sent in their reports and their general ac- curacy. The grants payable this year will be based on the statistics of 1030, The amount of the salary grants is determined by the percentage that the salary bears to the equalized as- sessment: if less than three mills the grant is 4 percent of the salary. between 3 and 5 mills 8 percent; be- tween Valid 7 mills 32 percent; be- tween 7 and 9 mins 16 percent; be- tween 9 and 12 miens 20 percent and between 32 and 15 mills 26 percent, There are higher percentages but they do not apply to schools in Hu- ron County. There is a giant of $75 on a Permanent First Class Cer- tificate and $60 on an Interim First; 560 for n Permanent Second but none for an Interim Second. There is a grant of 51.00 for each pupil in av- erage attendance. There is also a grant of 50'percent on equipment, which includes water closets, wells and blackboards. There Is no ehnnae in the grants on Agriculture, Music, —Yours respectfully, John M. Field. I. P. S. East Huron. How My World Wags By That Ancient Mariner DEAN M.

COUNTY NEWS IGODERICH: Thomas McIntyre, farmer, of Ashfield Township, ended his life Wednesday of last week by shooting himself through the fore- head. His body was found by his family, in a vacant house on his 150 -acre farm a few hours after the fatality occurred. Word of the sui- cide was sent to the authorities at Goderich and Coroner Dr, A. C. Hunter and County Constable Thom- as Gundry paid a visit to the McIn- tyre borne. On examining the body and learning the circumstances, Dr. Hunter decided not to hold an in- quest. The deceased was in his 67th; year. He had been in ill health for some time and this is the reason given for committing the rash act, It is stated that he made a 'trip to Dungannon last week and purchased a new 22 calibre rifle. The family was unaware that he had a rifle in bis. possession. As a matter of fact firearms had never been kept on the property.

The rate of pay for witnesses is only 51.50 a day but night sessions count as another clay. About 5244 was the outlay for wit- nesses for the Crown. Jurors get $4 a day and the men who actually sat on this case received about $500, In addition there Were over thirty other petit jurors summoned, which would account or about another 5400. These were paid of course on- ly up to the time they were dis- charged. Then there was the grand jury, another $180. And constables, six of them at 52.50 a day, another $130.—Goderich Star. MAKING WAY FOR NEW STABLES The order for the demolition of the old horse stables on the grounds of the Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto has at last been signed, and work should be under way very shortly. The erection of new acso i- odation for horses at the Coliseum has been verbally agreed upon by the Federal Minister of Agriculture, the Provincial Minister, and the City of Toronto for some time, the costs to be .divided three ways. Of- ficial sanction has now been secured for the plans which have been drawn up by Toronto architects, and it is expected to have the new build- ing ready for the 1031 exhibition. uNlUinumll111111 IAui m 11011i1l1 l+llgyYlumoa!;l'*%4m 11*111(1} ^ 111111111111;111111111111111111111111110111111111110 . 1 '1 01111111 111111111111111[111 1111il[[ j i111111III 1o([II II Ill[11 The same enterprising, forward-looking spirit which has been responsible for Canada'srise to greatness finds expression in the progressive policy that for more than 100 years has kept the Bank of iflontreal in the forefront of Canadian finance. ,. ,, �..,n:� 11 1 1111111111111111111 III III1111.I 11111111111 III illi Illliilillllllllll 111111111111i1111l I�11111.11 II ,I I.1 11.1. l.,.l 11�, BANK OF MONTREAL Established 1817 \TOTAL ASSISTS IN EXCESS OF $800,000,000 Over 650 branches throughout Canada 11 l (1 I Il I111 Ifl 11111111i1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 1111111111111111 11111111111111'1111111111111111111111.
