reported to the Convention. He
strongly recommended that every tea-
cher take out membership in the 0.
E. A as by its functioning it is of
immense, benefit to the educational
facilities of our province, benefiting
teacbers, school -hoards and the gen-
eral public as in its maw and varied
branches it seeks:to promote the gen-
eral welfare mentally, physically and

Amost interesting paper was that
given by Miss Reid of Blyth, on
"Fifth Form in Public Schools." The
!gelid towards highe,r' education has
resulted in a large increase in the
number of Rural Public Schools de-
manding the establishment or Fifth
Classes. Financial conditions of per-
ents, and the early age at which some
children pass the Entrance Examina-
tion are two factors that prevent chil-
dren from being sent from home to
attend High Schools or Collegiate In-
stitutes in larger centres. There are
many difficulties in successfuly carry-

WINGHAM 'NOT TO
SHARE IN FUND
Some 'twenty cities and large towns
in Ontario have been fortunate to be
included in first "group of municipal-
ities to share in the eight million dol-
lar unemployment fund to be expend-
ed in Ontario. At one time it looked
as thpugh Wing:haul's elaint for a
share of this money 'would be favorably received and there is no question
but that its receipt here would have
been welcomed as a rclief to the un-
employment situation
As is knowet the authorities petit-
ioned for a grant to assisttin building
in addition to the high school. Hon;
Mr, Finlaysou who has charge of the
allocation of this, money states that
the Department eauld not recommend
this request as they were only consid-
eringegublice-worls in which labor
would be a major! item.
h is stated of the works undertak-
en, 60% of the money will be used for
labor.
The proposed addition to 'Wingham
school, one of long standing need,
may be proceeded with, notwithstand-
ing the above disappointment. The
High School Board are to consider
the matter at an early date.

THE ARMISTICE MEMORIAL CELEBRATION NOVEMBER 10th
PROMISES TO BE ONE WELL WORTHY OF THE OCCASION
week's Advance-Titnes of the organi-
zation, by the Citizen's Band Coin-
mittee of the Wingharn Chamber of
Conanerce, of an Armistice Celebra-
tion, 'Under the leadership of Mr. H.
Campbell, whose organizing abilities
are highly regarded here, a strong
group of joint committees have been
handed together with a determination
to bring -to the citizens of Wingham
and conlmunity a programme worthy
of the occasion.
It will commence on the lofty plane
of sacred remembrance of the sacri-
fice made by many of our native sons
in the Great War, carry on in patri-
otic concert thespirit that thrilled
our nation as its 'manpower offered
itself in time of need; and culminate
in an evening's carnival of healthy
sports, stunts, music and competition
such as sustained the moral of our
C'Verseas forces in eimes of greatest
stress and assisted the Canadian sol-
dier in attaining a prowess which
brought to him the respect and ad-
miration of friend and for alike.
Such is a brief picture of the pro-
gramine mapped out but it is by no
means as simple a Procedure as it
sounds. The greatest precautions are
being taken to work out the mass of
detail necesSary for an occasion of
this kind so that the whole program
will run with the smoothness of the
music of a great symphony orchestra.
A great deal of time and study has
been put on selecting for each com-
mittee the men whose ability and ex-
perience will bring the greatest re-
sults. Every member of every com-
mittee is enthusiastically supporting
his chairman who is in turn giving
his best in leadership to his group
and in loyalty to the chairman in
chief. Each committee is anxious that

not be exceeded by any other. Wit-
ness too, the support of Wingliam
bushiess men as set forth in the ad-
vertisement on another page.
Such whole -hearted sapport assures
this community of a most successful
Aernistice Memorial celebration.
Many organizations will take part
in the ceremonial parade to the ceno-
taph and place wreaths there in mem-
ory of their fallen. Hundreds and
hundreds of friends of those associat-
ed with these organizations will Inc
the flag be -decked streets along the
line of march, and gather round the
ti ia,ngle at the ,cenotaph to witness
the eacred ceremony of remembrance
where men of prominence will offic-
ate. Veterans, their ' families and
friends from far and near will make
every effort to be present to paytri-
bute to their comrades who did not
come back and many a veteran's
breast will sparkle with medals of val-
or speaking all too plainly of duty
nobly done under circumstances that
might ea,sily have added yet another
name to the sad yet glorious roll of
honor.
The Patriotic Concertain the Arena
with stirring music and thrilling pro-
gramme will awaken in our hearts the
pride of home and conutry which so
often lies dormant. Something of the
whole hearted connuunity spirit which
cemented 'all organizations in war
time will return to us and there will
be a greater desire to do things to
make our community, our country,
our province and our country just a
little better because we are here. Oh
a patriotic concert is a fine thing to
make us fprget ourselves.
