The other suggestion, more widely favored by statisticians, governments and cart:menial interests because it gives a yese 'capable of being divided into halves and quarters, is a twelve month year, each quarter having the same months as now with 31, and 30 day, the extra day coining at New Years, with an extra leap year day in midsummer every four years. —St. Marys Journal -Argus. * * • MORE POLITE, ANYWAY No more.do we dance, we seize a gal in a way that would get us 30 clays and a severe, reprimand from the bench, if we treated her the same anywhere but on a dam* floor.

County Council (Continued front page 2) past year. Dr. Field stated that in his opinion teachers, holding second class teaching certificates' will soot: be supplanted by ones holding first class certificates. It is possible that the new government will provide re- fresher courses for the more experi- enced teaehees who cau still be bene- fited by the later developments' in education, said Dr. Field. In the fight against disease the provincial board of health are doing a very creditable work, said Dr. Field, this being with the nelp of the teachers. This year there were 53 teachers with first class certificates in East Huron, this number being eleven more than last year. Teachers' sal- aries took a further drop due to over -supply of teacehrs and Dr. Field stieted that he did not think it fair for school boards to take advantage of this condition, All school sections clesed the yeae with a balance. Many irnprovetnents have been made in the various sehools throughout the province. Dr. Field strongly urged the re- vival of school fairs in centres where they have been discontinued. Great steps are being taken in the teaching of music in public schools, several school boards having applied for such instruction, There were 27 changes of teaehers in East Huron aftee mid -summer, but almost half of this number were due to the expectation that the r'etiring teacher would le requited to attend another yCar at Normal. Eight tea- chers Were mingled, said Dr. Field. E. C. Beacom, public school inspee- tor, giving his report, stated that the inspeetots were not under the jurisdiction of the county council but are civil servants and knowing that the 'council is interested in these matters the impectors are quite wil- ling to give these reports. . The total enrolment in the public schools of West Huron at ptesent Pc 3,783, this being a slight decrease fl..oin that of last year. There are 60 teachers holding first class certifi- cates in Wiest Huron said Mt. La - cont. Salaries in rural schools shw- a decrease, $628 being the average as compared with $050 -last year. Schools have been kept in good repair in general, stated the speaker. Geepral legislative grants, will not be paid through the 'county treasurs er this year as formeidy Was the case. They will be maid direct from the rovinelal treasury, said Mr. Beeente. Mr. Beacon: also endorsed the" ad- vent of school fairs in the varieus municipelities theoughout his dis- trict. I conclusion Mr. Beacom Stated that great progress has been made ire education in the past year. _ 'Communications 'Received 'Communications were as follows: A letter from Porth County Cie& regarding a resdlution passed by that council which recommended that cer- tain taxation 'changes and. additione 'in -view of economic conditions, .

With a general election impending, the lead- ers of the two old partiesare expres- sing almost identical opinions on the chief issues of the day, with the leader of the C.C.F. saying "Bless you, my lads.

Question Laid Over A great deal of discussion follow- ed the,reading of this communication and the county treasurer, Harvey Erskine suggested that this matter be left over until the June sessions of the Council. Mr. Erskine stated that before the appointment of Mr. Fer- guson the County received no fines from tbe Liquor Control Act and if the county is mow to Teceive these fines it would be advisable to wait and in June the 001114 may be in a better position to , deal with the question.
