On, that particular classification rural school boards will receive'16% of the salaries, towns of 2,000 to cities of 50,000 8% teed cities over 50,000 4%, Eight per- cent. of $15,009 would be $1,200, as the grant Goderich Public School • Board would get on this score, 'Then there is a grant of $1. pet. head rfor the average attendance of pupils, 'Last month the average 'in the Goderich public schools was 516, Thus there will be grants of over $1,700; possibly with other grants the total may be about .1,300, As the last grant received ''.vel ea by$$ the ublic School Board from the Legislature was only $439, it will be seen that the Public School Board wdll.get $1,300 or $1,400 more next year than this year from the Legislature, The last grant was $253 general grant and $186 on certificates held by the teachers, As there doe's not seem to be the sante provision in urban municipalities for giant based on the grade of certifi- cates• held by the teachers Goderich will lose on that score, but the total gain will be about as given above. 'For rural, public and separate schools, twenty -,five per cent, in the counties and fifty per cent. in the districts will be paid by the Depart- ment on the cost of new approved equipment purchased by the board during the preceding calendar year. The maximum grant to each board under this heading will not exceed $100 per class room, Grants will alio be paid to rural, public attd separate schools on the besis of certificates held by teachers,. as follows: Provincial permanent 1st class cert, $7'5. Provincial interim 1st class cert. $60, a t. Provincial permanent 2nd class cer, -$60. Provisional ungraded cert. $40, Provision is also made for grants to school sections or uriban municipal- ities with low assessment and for grants based- on a percentage of the approved capital. expenditure made by the board in remodelling or etdtendin'g old buildings. In the case of any rural, urban, public or separate school board, the Minister may make a special assisted grant when the circumstances of the case appear to hint to warrant the cane. • FROM OTTAWA. The progress toward inter -Empire economic cooperation made at the London Conference should, and will, be heartening to Canadians. There are a few, of course, who looked or hoped for immediate adop- tion of a definite program which would throw open the British mar- ket an favonalbie terms to 'Canadian wheat and other agricultural pro- ducts. These .are .people unfamiliar with the last centurys' politico-- econoinic history in Britain and more particularly' with the unwavering op positionto tariffs fs sa-hich has beets an outstanding ding ell alaCt r'Stt c of the Labor Government now in power in Britain. Certainly Premier Bennett was not one of those who expected more for the present than he got. For eigh- teen months he . has insisted that the only promising course of procedure was to advance the issue of inter - Empire preferences, to awaken and stimulate public interest in them and then to call a conrfei•en'ce of Empire statesmen in Ottawa, (This latter con- ference would have before it the find- ings and theories of the leading econ- omises of the different units of the Empire and Bete the statesmen would endeavor to piece their hopes .and at- piratious together into a . fabric of mutually advantageous preferences for the econoinic advancement of the Empire, • Mr, Bennett has ca- ried every step in his program up to the present.

Oa the first set. the fertilizer's -were applied at the rate of, 11)00 pounds per acre and on the sec- ond eaand set at the rate of 500 pounds. In eadlt set one plot scan left without fer- tilizer for comparison. In these tests and on this soil, a 2-12-6 fertilizer seems to give materially better .re- sults thee any other, '•Where fertili- zer, were applied at 1000 pounds per acre, the average yield of potatoes Was 2.11.5 bushels against an average where iso fertilizer izem I c was applied- ted of 162.1 bushels This figured ed out to net gam of $56.90 for the crop. Where. fertilizers were applied at the rate of five hundred pounds to the acre, The average •yield was 190.6 bush- els as compared with 172.1 where no fertilizer was used, and a net gain of $16.34 per acre was recorded.

Instruction will be given for twwo, three, four days or a whole week, as well as the present courses.
