HURON EDUCATIONAL
ASSOCIATION MET
AT CLINTON
(Continued from Page One)
how Continuation, High Schools and
Collegiates' were financed.
In discussing how secondary edu-
cation costs might be lessened he sug-
gested More Fifth Classes, Develop-
ment of "intermediate"'schools, which
would ;take' up the work of the 4th
and 5th classes, lowering salaries of
teachers in secondary schools, stating
that there is too great a difference be-
tween salaries to High School teach-
ers and those paid to Public School
teachers. An interesting discussion
followed.
Ontario Trustees' and Ratepayers' As-
sociation, pleaded for greater unity
between urban and rural boards, He
outlined the aims of the Association,
showing that it is the melting -pot for
discussions and ideas or resolutions.
All but six counties in the Province
held county conventions last year.
Resolutions garnered from these
g mee
) meetings will be •threshed out in %
an-
nual convention at Toronto at East•
er and those endorsed will be pre-
sented to the Department for their ap-
proval. He showed that the Provinc-
ial Association is apart entirely from
the Department of Education, but it
works in co-operation with it, and it
is an opportunity which should not be
turned aside lightly. He did not ad-
vise too great cuts in salaries to tea-
. chers, but thought there should be
great co-operation between municipal
officers and board of Education. •
Dr. J, M. Field, I. P. S. for East
Huron, outlined some of the propos-
ed changes by the•„Department of Ed-
ucation, touching upon "Examina-
tions, thecurriculum val-
uetions, changes in ,
of experienced teachers, method of
granting permanent certificates to tea-
chers, Township or County unit of
administration versus present system,
and Agriclutural grants to schools
and teachers who are interested in its
teaching.
N. R. Campbell, secretary of the
Trustees' and Ratepayers' Association
of Ontario, who is thoroughly con-
versant with the present sitaution, be-
ing himself a farmer, taxpayer, re-
viewed and emphasized many of the
ideas already expressed by the other
speakers and spoke of practical meth-
ods of lessening the costs of educa-
tion, and giving a nlroe practiacl ed-
ucation. He spoke of the problem of
the small school, and told also of the
various courses already provided for
by the Department, of which few
schools avail themselves. Liberal
grants from the Department make the
teaching of such subjects a's Home
Economics, Manual Trainin, Agricul-
ture, *etc.. possible: at .. no additional
cost, if hoards adopt these ideas. He
believed that ,the government grant
should be based upon efficiency rath-
er than on salaries, qualifications, etc.
He urged school boards to co-opper
ate to a greater extent in order to
have musical instruction, school nurs-
es, etc. He advocated a system of
Provincial taxation which would mean
a much more equitable . system than
that in operation at Present.
There was lively and interested dis-
cussions by those present and all
agreed that it was a profitable meet-
ing.

FOUNDRY WIN
SOFTBALL OPENER
The Foundry won the first softball
game of the season. Friday night when
they defeated Merkley's in an exhibi-
tion game by a score of 13-8. The
game was somewhat slower than us-
ual, but as it was the first time out
for many, is no true indication of the
kind of ball that can be expected dur-
ing the schedule.
"Jim" seemed to be a good name
Friday evening, as Jim Lee did the
twirling for the winners, Jim Jones
officiated at the plate, and Jim Seli
handled the bases, all doing a very
good job. Ted Elliott started for
Merkley's 'but was replaced in the
sixth by Doug. Waram.
A fair crowd was on hand to wit-
ness this tussle and it is hoped many
more will attend these garnes during
the coming months. Everything pos-
sible has been done to even up the
teams, so that a real contest can be
erpected every game.
This Friday evening Merkley's and
Gurney's clash in their first league
meeting, and as the supremacy of the
"corner" hinges on this duel, a thriller
should be in store for the fans,
Monday evening will see Gurney's
lock horns with the Foundry when
the glove -makers will have to work
hard to make an impression on the
iron men.
FOUNDRY WIN
FIRST LEAGUE GAME
The Foundry emerged victorious on
Tuesday evening in the first schedule
game of the Softball League, defeat-
ing Lloyd's 14-12 in a game that was
anybody's until the last man was out.
The Iron Men went to work in .the
first inning and gathered seven runs
and looked like sure winners then, but
the opposition settled down and start-
ed playing better ball and at the end
of the sixth pulled up on even terms
10-10. The Foundry scored four runs
in their half of the seventh and went
to the field feeling they had the game
in the bag. After two men were out
Lloyd's started a rally and got two
men on. ' Ellacott then smashed out a
triple scoring two men but was tagged
out at home trying to stretch it into
a home run+ Lloyd's gathered twelve
hits off Jim Lee, while the Foundry
connected for eleven safe blows off
the offerings of Stan. Vanstone.
A fair crowd watched this game
with interest, and in the last inning
the din reminded one of other days.
Lloyd's look to have the material for
a strong team and with a little more
practice and experience will be able.
to give the others all they can handle,
Gurney's is the only team to yet show
their wares brit they can be counted
on to field a strong aggregation.
