The above hymn was written by a nineteen ;year old' English girl, en- gaged in domestic'service,, in July;la;t and was read to a big congregation in Westminster Chapel by Dr. Camp- bell Morgan recently, I do not know Whnt comment the Reverend Doctor made concerning it, but no doubt he commended the spirit of the girl and held her up as an example of ' aL eon seerated soul who was tletemizined to serve Gacl in a humble occupation. Now, I am not going to say any- thing to disparage the spirit of this girl at all;, it is most comrnendable, but the expression of it nevertheless breathes an inferiority, a sort of apol- egy for her work which we' should be getting away from to some extent in this age of the world.. I do not hesi- tate tq say that a girl working in someone else's kitchen or a wenn: working in her own, using her braine and skill in ministering to the needs of a family is just as much doing the will of God as the minister who is preaching in his pulpit. That is their work and without such service the minister could not perform his, "All service ranks the same with God." 1 can easily imagine that when the final judgment comes some whom we have ranked as very humble workers will be given higher places tlhan• ott- ers who .have had much more notice in' this world. - But what I really: wish to call at- tention to is the fact, that women, housekeepers, those who spend their time and strength: looking after the neecle\of their families, are rather apt to think slightingly of their work as compared with thework-of other wo- men who may be more in the public eye, or occupy more' conspicuous posi- tions, The work of caring .for the. hone, preparing meals for husband and children as they return from work in field, office or store and from school is a most important job and should not be despised by these who perdorrn it nor should they allow oth- ers to speak slightingly of it. ''We sometimes hear arguments as to whether a woman should marry and settle down to keep house for Ler husband and care for the children who may come to her, or seek a "careen" Just "Why a woman who is spending her time intelligently .look- • ing after her home, caring for and feeding her husband and children, looking after the training and educe• tion of the latter and seeing that they are prepared to go out into the world well-equipped citizens, should not consider herself as `Snaking a career" is not very clear to me. But I belive it all harks bacik to the anti- quated idea that there is something degrading about the doing of dornes tic service. Why should at be thought more degrading to wash dishes than to file letters or take dictation? Why shouldn't a girl who cooks a good dinner be as viorthy of respect as one who sells ribbons or bon -bons? It is all up to the women who are in the homes. They should "dignify their office," by. doing their work in the best known way, by keeping their houses in a systematic -manner, keep- ing themselves neat and tidy at their work and insisting upon their work being treated with respect. Housework should not be allowed to become drudgery. It is one of the most important tasks performed, in this busy world of ours, and its workers should endeavor to keep themselves keen and alert at all times to adopt the very best and most up-to-date methods of doing it. R1:BF.KAH EAST HURON TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. The fifty-fifth annual convention of the East Huron Teachers' Instit- ute opened at 10 o'clock, Octobertl8th, in"the. Community hall, Blyth, with 121 teachers present, and was a suc- cess in every respect. The president, Alfred Posliff, principal of the Wing- , harp Public School, occupied the chair. Rev. Dr. Barnby of Blyth conducted the opening exercises, and Rev. Dr, Milne of Blyth 'welcomed the teach- ers to the Village. The records of the last convention held in Brussels were read by the secretary and adopted by the conven- tion. Miss Hartry of Seaforth was then called on to address the convention on the subject "Art in Public Schools." Her address was practical and in- structive to the teachers. She de- plored the haft that Art is o often a much neglected subject in Public Schools, expressing her opinion that much of the responsibility for this lies in the fact that Art is not ono of the Departmental Examination sub- jects on the Entrance Examination. She felt that neglect of the subject in Public Schools lays a heavy bur- den .on the High School ancient Who must prepare for the Lewers School Examination' in the subject.` To fit the teacher who feels incapable of properly handling the subject she suggested •books, summer courses, and correspondence- courses as sourc 'es of instruction for those requiring it, and made particular reference to the Art Manual as one of the very, best practical books on the subject. President .Posliff then introduced the subject "The Position of the teacher in the Community," 1[o felt that some teachers are not taking as active a pari; , in community enter- prises as they might. IIe deplored the spirit that leads the teacher to desert the community- in which she is engaged from Friday night to Mon- day morning. He then suggested av- enues in which they could find their place as Women's Institutes, Literary Society, Church, etc. Miss. Della Lavery then spoke on "Hot Lunches" in schools •and showed ,how with little loss of the teacher's time, and at slight expnse to the ratepayers, 'owing to generous grants towards the enterpr•ice, each child could have the benefit of at least one hot dish at noon, and be fitted for doing his work in the latter pat of the day, ;It also affords the teachers an opportunity of teaching in a prac tical way such necessary subjects --as table mariners, feeds' and theirs val- ues, besides making for a healthier companionship' between pupils and teacher, than the more formal part. of school -life permits. On Thursday afternoon Miss Barn- by of BIyth spoke on the subject: "Tho Story as a Basis of Languege." She recommended stories and lan- guage lessons based' thereon as a pre- paration for correct speech and lit- erary taste. Fairy tales, myths, end animal stories are of intense interest to little folk. They should be `told, not read, for best results and children should reproduce them in story' or drama after suitable preparation by. the teacher. She then gave a practic- al illustdrtion of her method' using a class of small' children, who drama- tizedvery successfully the story of "The Little Red House Without Win- dows or Doors 'with the Star in' the ..Centre." Mr. Norman Muir then spoke on the place of games in school activi- ties, and though ,inclement weather prevented -the intended plan of working in the play grounds, he eue- cessfully demonstrated, several games that might be used`indoors or in the. playing field with a class of interested boys. • "Games," he said, should not crowd out formal physi- cal education, but they are useful in inculcating the virtue of fair play and `respect for the rights of others,' be. sides promoting good feeling and un- derstanding between teacher and pu- pils." Dr. Field, reported on conditions as they exist in the Inspectorate of East. Huron, c•'ompiimented , teacehrs and school boards on the improved con. dition of schools and school property in the Inspectorate, and called atten- tion to the various changes in regula- tions' and curricula. The principal speaker of the after- noon was Dr. Pakenham of Toronto who in a most interesting and de- lightful manner spoke on "Agencies for the Improvement of the Teach- er's Status." By contrasting the stat- us of the present-day teacher with that of the teacher ,of a day not so long past he brought to the attention of the conventionthe improvement that has rapidly taken place in the teachers' standing -(1) financially from increased salaries, and provis- ion for declining years through the superannuation scheme worked out out by our provincial government. (2) socially as the guardian of pro- perty, body and soul of tha youth of the land. (3) Professionally, since it is now conceded to bo a profession, and not merely a stepping stone to medicineflaw, or,. other professions. (4) Scholastically, as yearly, the pro- fession demands scholarship of a higher order. - Though the status of the teacher. has been raised, "the speaker thinks there is stili great room for improve. meat. Training has been too brief. Technical work requires time for training. Teachers' Associations, conference of teachers, extension• courses, and summer schools are all aids that the profession should util- ize as means towards the end sought. On Thursday evening Dr. Paken- ham gave a most enjoyable lecture 11- Iustrated by lanjetn slid®s, Blyth lo- cal talent of high order assisted in rounding out an interesting and in- structive program, On Friday rnolning the Tnstitutd again convened, and-istened with rapt attention to Miss McGowan, as she took us, in imagination with her cm her trip to the Mediterranean visiting Africa, Europe and Asia; going with BAD LEGS Read This! if You Have • Varicose, Veins If you or any relative or friend are worried or suffer because of varicose veins, or bunches, the best advice that anyone in.this world can give into get a prescription that literally hundreds of people all over the country are us- ing with 'complete satisfaction.

The report of the nominating coin mitten was then read by Samuel Jef- ferson, and the election of officers for the ensuing' year resulted as fol- lows: President, Mr. Crawford, Sea - forth; Vice -President, Miss M. 'Reid, Brussels; Secretary, Geo. II. .Toiler soon, Clinton Auditors, Miss .Myrtle Armstrong, Clinton, Miss Vora Pep, per, Clinton. Dr. Pakenhem then spoke on "Lit- erature in Public Schools." Litera- ture presents two aspects. (1) the mechanics, (2) thouht, feeling and interpretation. Seine teachers never get beyond the mechanics, The ap- proach to literature is very, impro tant. 'There should be a definite pur- pose, a coinpass to steer by, Litera- ture should clarify the understanding o:f the pupil, purify the emotions, im- prove the taste, manners, and morals, and be a sobr•ce of innocent and per- manent • joy in leisure moments throughout life, In order to accom- plish the desired end reading should be extensive rather than intensive. Supplementary reading from well sel- ected books is imperative, and the spealcer'eaggested thata book a month from a well selected library at school, at home, or from a public lib racy by each pupil, is to be desired. Dr. Pakenham closed his address by a discussion of teaching methods us- ipig,the poem "Boots, Saddle, to horse, and away." The morning session was brought to a conclusionby a biref address on hygiene by Dr. Milne of Blyth. He stressed the importance of Teachers and Doctors, especially in rural com- mutities, in looking after the Public Health and Sanitation. Heating, lighting, ventilation and water -sun - ply are the important items' in 'sans. thy hygiene. Teachers can do much in detecting imperfections of the body whether of the skin, eye, nose, ear, throat or teeth, but medical inspec- tion is a necessity' for the early de- tection and correction of defects anti in preventing the spread of communi- cable and infectious diseases. The speaker quoted statistics'from the township of which he is medical in- spector to show the improvement in the health of pupils since inspection began. Improvement was especially noted in decreased number of cases of goitre, defective eyes, running ears, throat troubles, skin diseases,and im- perfect teeth. He asked for the co- operation of teachers in improving body conditions, whidh, he said, are often responsible for mental imper fections. • In lieu of the usual meeting of the Institute it was suggested that the next meeting take the form of an excursion to the 0.A.C. at Guelph. It was moved by Miss Parrott and unan- imously carried by the Institute that we hold our next convention in Guelph in September 1029.

Usually a month when automotive pro- -duction declines, September for the Chrysler Corporation of Canada, Limited, was not only ;the month of largest production throughout 1928, but but the largest also throughout the en- tire hisTory of Chrysler.' The demand for new Chrysler and Ply- reit mouth models, in fact,exceeded every- ttl4g • in Chrysler experience and re- qurres even more thnan the vastly in- creased facilities of the Windsor plant to cope with the flo,od tide of orders. Chrysler is gratified by such ad overwhelming expression of public confidence—and appreciative of the op- portunity it offers to extend production facilities still further in order to satisfy the demand whichis ever widening., In the months and years to come, Chry. sler is firmly resolved to continue true to the Chrysler ideals of leadership -in pioneering the new and important im- provements . in motor car design; in developing new ways of progress in scientific engineering, and precision manufacture; in discovering new methodsof raising quality and thereby constantly increasing the purchasing power of the automobile dollar. loo ta, 1
