The pupils 'and teachers, The.ageical-
tural representative and his assistants
deserve much praise for their work
in conducting these fairs. I ant of
the opinion. that any rural school not
participating is losieg an opportunity
of inculcating many good and useful
lessons among its pupils.
A feature of many of .the school
fairs was the oratorical contest. At
St. -Helens fair theve were seventeen
entries in this event, and the speeches
were all of a high order. The first
prize winners from each fair met in
Clanton for the .final, the eventual
winner being a pupil for No. 14 Hay.

This is especially true in townships
like Ashfield, where attendance at
a high school would entail leaving
home on tlie part of the pupils. In
many cases those prepared in ehese
schools did very • creditably on the
Lower school examinations.
The teaching of music has been re-
ceiving special ettention in the schools
of some disericts. Practically all the
schools in the township of Usborne
are visited weekly by a special in-
structor, in this sttbject. This is .a.lso
true of the iGoderich schools. The re-
sults of this training are quite appar-

idea might well be taken tip with ad-
vantage by other areas.
The Teachers' Institute was held at
Gorlerich on Oct. Ilth and 12th, with
all the teachers ie attendance. The
meetings were both interesting and
instructive. A pleasing feature of one
seesion Was the preeentation to Mr. J.
Elgin Tom of a gold watch and chain
by the teachers of the West Huron
Tnepectorate as a mark of the esteem
in which he was held by them.

To the Warden and Members of
• Huron County 'Council,
Gentle'men,—I beg to submit here-
with for your consideration the fol-
lowing report of the condition of eche-
cation in the public .schools of East
Huron for the year 1928.
Yours respectfully,
' JOHN M: FIELD.
There are 85 rural schools with 88
teachers, and six urban schools with
31 teachers, 'Phere are 20 men and
99 women. Of these 28 • hold first
class certificates and 90 second class.
There is one teacher with a kinder-
garten d•irector's certificates Theee
is a slight increase in teachers with
higher qualifications. I •cannot speak
Inc highly of the work clone by our
teachers. It is claubtful f ether
callings one woold find such a bigh
degree of efficiency mid faithfulness.

To the Warden and Members of
Huron County Council.
Gentlemen,— I beg to submit my
report on the condition of the public
,schools in the inspectorate of West
Huron for that portion of the year
1928 since my appointment to the
position of inspector.
'During the year 3771 pupils were
enrolled in the various forms of the
pablic schools, mid of these 245 left
at midssinnmer to continue their stti-
diee in the secondary schools of the
county. The attendance was quite,
satisfactory, being 88.5 per cent, of
that possible, which compares very
1,1e.rably with last year's figures and
comlitione existing elsewhere,
'iliere is room for improvement, how-
ever. in this regard, and parents gen-
taellay reeliee that presence at
school hie a dollar awl cents* valve in
the inlivideal child.
Thee.. are 100 rural and four urban
schools, empleying 135 teachers, Of
these 120 are women and fifteen are
men, The small proportion of male
teachers is a condition thet seems to
he preraleat in all parts of the Pro-
vince. There are 37 teachers, with
first class certificates,..97 with second
class and one kindergarten -primary.
'The fact that 38 per cent, of the
teachers have first-class certificates
allow& the present decided trend
among teachers generally towards
the attainment of higher qualifica-
tions,
There appears to be no shortage of
teachers, and all va.caacies have been
readily .filled. 1Salaries have been
'maintained at about the same level as
recent years, there being only one- in-
stance of a teacher 111 a rural school
being in receipt of less thao $700 an-
meally, while many boards recognize
outstanding ability by paying salaries
in excess of $1,000. The total amount
paid• in salaries in all schools was
$132,885, or an average of $984 per
teacher,
The grants for 1928 were on the
sante basis as former years. The
Department of Education is contem-
plating making some changes in this
regard hut 'have iestied no 'new data'
em• 'the subject as yet. In all probe-.
hility there will be no change. tbie.
year. Tt is to be armed that , any
change in the eyetem of grants will
remedy the injustice done to towne
with a population, of over 2000 such
adequate, l'here were fewer, I be-
lieve, out of employmeat this year
than last. If further restrictionor
higher standa•rds of training ara en-
forced by the Education Department,
there would s0011 come a. time when
sufficierst qualified teachers would not
be available for the •schools,
The ateeedence generally is regu-.
tan The average is fully 90 per cent.
of the possible attendance,' In only
two schools,. one 'in Turnberry an;i
one in Grey,. is truancy, as the law
defines it, prevalent. It is an index of
the • attitude of the parents towards
education and the welfare of these
children, '
Two seh'ools were rebuilt this year,
one In • SlSe No, Tucke•remith, and.
one in No, 9, Hellett. 'limy are mod-
ern and a credit. to their sections.'
The school in S.S. aro, 6, Morris was
reniodel.led and. much improved,' but
,they did not go far enough. Others
were decorated and much improved
and, Made' more con table by new
heating, Altogether the accommoda-
tions are showing steady improve-
ment. ,
'There were' 316 candidates' fol. the
,Entrance examination in 19281- of
these 27.5 were.successful, or a high
average of •87 per eeett. Wingham
public school had one of the.bes•t
trance. classes in my. mtperience; out
of 36 candidates 27 ob.tained honors.
The average age of Entran,ce ,candi-
ilatea over the inspectorate is a little
less than 14ayeara. •
• In the speing teem there were only
three fifth classes, • 'Walton, Ethel
and Gorrie. Another' evaseforined at
Auburn in S,eptember ivith an atten-
deoce of 23; instruction is provided
'in Fcirms I. and I1. of. the Lower
school, Temporary accommodation
has been secured in an i.mused church.,
The pupias are from fotir neighboring
.schools and all are able to be home at
night. Otherwise-ms.some would be
away from home at high schools and
others would. not have an opportunity
to secure the benefits of a high school
education. Tt shows what can be ac-
complished when there is a spirit' of
co-operation among sections. Com-
munity schoolsstieh as this could be,

tact with high tied continuation

Penny Banke are now established
in the Seafortli, -Clinton and Wing -
ham public schools the last two dur-
ing the present term. Each pupil has
a pass book. Once a week the teach-
ers collect their deposits and the mon-
ey is placed at interest in one of the
chartered banks. Though it has'been
in operation such a short time there
are already deposits of upwards of
$1,500.
The Government grants are on the
same basis as for the, previous year.
The rural schools received $19180
and the urban, schools $7,620. As
Wingham has a population of a little
in excess of 2,000 it was disqualified
from participating. There is consi-
derable' criticism as to, elle condition
under which these grants are made.
It is geneeally admitted that in some
cases they ars • too high and that
towns like Wingham and • Goderich
should have some share.
School fairs were held as in prev-
ious years while Wingham, Brussele,
Blyth and Seaforth have theira school
departments in addition 'to Blair regu-
Jar features. They are ably managed
under the leadership of afr, Paterson,
the agriculteral representative. • A.
special feature this year was the ora-
torical contest; the winners met in
Clinton and provided a real treat for
those who were fortunate enough to
hear them.
The Trustee's and Ratepayer's As-
sociation met itt Clinton in October.
Out of 600 trustees in thecounty, not
more than 15 oe 20 were present. No
advantage was taken of the opportu-
nity of getting together and discuss-
ing local conditions and means of im-
provement. Is it any Wonder that the
Government considers that the ores -
mit system of feral school adminis-
tration needs arnendinent.
The Teachers' Institute was held in
the .conernonity hall, Blyth. The. ad-
dresses of Dr. Pakenham, Dean of
the Ontario Normal College, were
much enjoyed; other parts of the pro-
gram to which the teachers contribut-
ed were of a high brder.
Hot lunches were served ,in twelve
rural schools • from November to
March, They promote health in the
school and relieve the tedium of an
idle .hour in in.element weather when
the children are unable to go outside
to play, Besides, teacher and pupil'
meet on a more common and friendly
basis nod are able to get better ass
otatintecl. They are easily managed
in the smaller fichoola and the Gov-
ernment grants are liberal,
The attendance in the secorolatv
schools continues to be high; sonic
especially brilliant pupils were gra-
dusted front them this year. All tale
schools were algae(' as required by
the regelations,
