The seating capac- ® ity of the board room in connection ■ with the DistrictRepresentative's Ili office, which had been secured for the pace of meeting, proved quite inade- N! quate to accommodate the conven- t". 'tion, and it was moved to the Star RI Theatre, which was comfortably MIfilled. IN It was 'very encouraging to the IN executive to find. that such a splend- ■ id response ,was made by the differ- ent school sections of the ' County, there being delegates from almost ev- ■ ery school, and it was estimated that. upwards of 25o persons. were present. The convention opened with an ad= ,dress.of welcome from Mr. C. G. Mid- • dleton, reeve of Clinton, Mayor Pi Jackson being out of town. Mr. Mid- . dieton in a few well-chosen words assured the meeting of the pleasure it afforded him • to welcome . such a representative gathering to the town of Clinton. In the, chairman's address Mr. Coultes ''expressed his satisfac- tion with the interest manifested in things educational, as evidenced by the presence of so many people on this occasion. He also said that . it would be -left to the discretion of the meeting, at its close, to decide wheth- er such an association• were profit- able enough to be continued. The convention was fortunate in. having as its chief speaker Dr. Karr, of the Department of Education, Toronto, who was requested to speak upon the question of "Township School Boards," a bill with regard to. this having been introduced intlie Legislature by the.

That bears are plentiful up on the Bruce Peninsula is evident froni the following report in the Wiarton Can- adian -Echo: "On Saturday evening last, twixt the glo'aning and the mirk, as George Turner of Hope Bay was wearily and peacefully plodding his homewardway along' the lonely road, he was startled at observing ,in .his pathway a big black mother bear and .her four voting cubs. It was a rath- er awesome situation for the average youth in which to find himself and of course he was scared but not daunted. Likewise; if the man was astonished, so was dame bruin and her fancily, No parleying occurred, the main con - .sideration of of all concerned was to changethe situation as' speedily as possible. George had no gun and he had never heard or read •of any of his fellow -'nen voluntarily tackling a 400 - pound bear with no weapons, and he had no desire to establish precedent. Likewise Bruin- had her family with her, and she wished to ploy safety- first. afetyfirst. Clear thinking and quick action such situations are ;essential. The cubs, getting their first glimpse of mankind, a immediately took to the trees, while the mother stood guard, Meanwhile, George, scenting advent - tire Wer 60; detoured Off the road nw !be solved, a;'s a ;;lrs'gle section worl.ing individually, cannot possibly supply this. He also spoke of the advan- tages wliicli towns and cities derive from technical night Schpols.. "With greater co-operation, conditions in rural Ontario lend themselves easily to the establishment of such schools in country districts. The difficul- ties "which lie in the path of greater efficiency with regard to "'rural edu- cation are that the individual school. is limited in its resources, and there oscelieratent, s "'to be a disincliimation to co- Muchinterestinginteresting discussion follow- ed, in which it became quite evident that the sympathies of . the majority present did not favor the proposal of township school boards, Ur, G, , T.,; 131.4clkei bury, science master in Wingham High School, was next called upon to speak on the question of "Two years University work being taken in High Schools," He went into thematter quite min- utely, showing that where perhaps two , counties would co-operate, it might ..be accomplished in, say, one centre, . It would require • additional accommodation 'and also the services of s-ibout•faur extra teachers, whose remnueration would be, inthe neigh- borhood of $1o,000 • annually. While certain advantages might accrue from the establishment of such schools, in the way of lower fees, and cheaper living, in these smaller centres near- er to the student's home, yet per- haps these advantages would be more than counter balanced by the access to better libraries and the greater ef- ficiency of the lecturers and Profes- sors in the Universities. "Mr. A. L. Posliff, principal of the Wingham Public School, next ad- dressed the gathering, his subject be- ing "The problem of teaching." In his pleasing ' and forceful manner this speaker endeavored to show that the teacher must love his or her pro- fession, in order to be successful. He had very little sympathy, with the teacher who taught five' days in the week and then returned to her home some distance awayfor the week -end. He believed that much good was ac- complished through the teacher's be coming acquainted with, and interest- ed in, the parents of •her pupils, the result being a better understanding between teacher and pupil, also a more sympathetic interest being de- veloped. Rev. H.W. Snell, of Wingham, who is first vice president of the associa- tion introduced the subject of "Relig- ious Education in the Public School." He showed that by the co-peration of the teacher with resident ministers, that it might be arranged to have the minister spend a short period, during odd days of each week, doing work along these lines. It is a mat- ter of vital importance that .this should form a part of the education of the public school pupils. Dr. Field and Mr. J. Elgin Toni, Public School inspectors for Huron County, each.spoke briefly. Dr. 'Field said in his inspectorate the at- tendance of pupils was 'very good, in- deed, that the `attendance .officer had Itl' 111M1 101110111111101.111111111:11I1Nllli11i11111IEtM1I1N10N liIi1Mk1111!!I 1 11 1 ala SUMMER DRESS GOOD VOILES 85c --A variety of New Patterns in Spots, Stripes and Floral Designs, all the new colors, special values 4o in. wide at 85c yard BROADCLOTH $r.00 —Just received a number of new pat- terns in Stripe Effects in all the latest summer shades.

He agreed with Dr. Field that in some centres much ;might be done in the way of provid- ing technical training during the win- ter months or evening's.

The presence- of so many women on school boards is also significant. He wished to em- phasize the point that the Minister of Education, in introducing the bill, was anxious to ,get the sympathetic co-operation of those interested, and not merely the adverse criticism of the public. To him the rural school and its problems was tire most press- �ing•question at the present time. He stated that rural school children have not the sante advantages as city or { to the bush, and then did .a half -mile -urban children, the cause being •attri- stunt on shank's mare in the quickest bated to the fact that the method of ,tine he had ever recorded.

If these folks only realized the -true, condition of affairs, they would realize'. the retail stores are doing business today on a smaller margin of profit than .ever before.. The li"„her range of prices prevailing since .l:_s war has stimulated competition and• forced re- tail trade to remodel its system of op- eration and make every possible im- it provement and economy in its •meth c ;ods. The stores are saving a margin .' for the public as the result of improv- ed distribution methods. Merchants today are putting more -brains into their work than ever •before. They get better expert advice they under- stand markets better, they train their help to render better service. The best way to make the people of Wingham and district realize the fine quality of the service they get from their stores, is by consistent advertis- . ing of those stores. As they read the newspaper advertising people learn of special chances to buy .:aods which they would never have known about had it not been for those notices. They learn that stores are carrying. lines that they knew nothing about. They get information warning them of conditions that tend t -ward higher prices and showing them how they can save money by prompt purchas- ing. They find out that their home. 'merchants have been scouring the it' country to pick up the best merchan- dise available. They discover• that their home stores are working with all their might to provide the neces- sities and conveniences of life at the lowest price consistent with substan- tial merit. Tlie advertised store is the appreciated store. Inspector Torn said he had his own Teeswater and Wroxeter. .r opinion of, township boards. He did not express this opinion plainly' but he left one with the impression that he did not favor the idea. He recalled the fact that the plan had been tried out some years ago, Tuckersmith be- ing one of the townships which had given itself to the test. At present there are no township boards. There were in the county several schools where there were very few pupils. In such cases he thought. they should be sent to another sec- tion.
