Inspector J. Elgin Tom sumitted his
annual report for the Inspectorate
of West Huron as follows:
The work of the schools was io-
terrupted during 1918 by the lack of
full attendance during the winter and
by the influenza epidemic during the
autumn term. There was an average
loss of five Weeks during the year.
Two school's in Hay lost thirteen weeks

All the schools were visited twice
during 1918. Five schools were not

schools have been closed from four to and Provincial governments spend
six weeks, some longer, on account of
the influenza epidemic. - Moreover,
the granting. of certificates to candi-
dates because of farm labor is, I
fear. resulting in a laxity of gentle`
ment in rural districts in regard to
education; it affects even the younger
pupils, especially the boys, for- when
the older ones stay at home there is
an inducement to let the younger ones

our high schools.
Onethe other hand there has been
very forward movement in the teach-
ing' of agriculture. Six school fairs
were held this year; hi three cases, the
fairs were held by the schools indi-
vidually; in the other three they were
jointly with ether schools as Many as
nine being included.. The exhibits
were good and the ratepayers showed
a keen interest.
No new buildingwasdene last year
owing to war conditions as to lab_or
and materials; in some places, new
schools are -very badly aeecled. There
are four sections in which the subject
of building new schools was taken up

In some counties there is dental and
medical inspection and part of the
expense is born by the County Council.
This action has received greater sup-
port since it was found that so many
of our young erten were unfit for mill-
tarly service owing to some physical
disability, which in the end would
weaken their health and shorten their
lives, but if remedied in time they
would have been able to look forward
to a life of vigor,
, The 'attendance at the Continuation
schools has shown, an increase over
that of last year, owing, I believe, to
large sums annually for the teachings
of this subject in the colleges, Normal
schools, high schools and public
schools. All normal school graduates
receive instruction in agriculture to
qualify them to teach in their schools.
The aim in teaching agriculture is
to make the pupils redlize the funda- -
mental priirdipiles undeolying farm op-
erations, to render them capable of
thinking and investigating for them-
selves and to show them that live
stocle4 soil and crops furnish problems
requiring the best ability and train-
ing. The instruction is. interesting
for the pupils as it eelates to the
work being clone by those in their
'homes.
Our schools are in session 30 hours
a week, surely one hone or More should
be given •weekly to the subject that
is most closely connected with the lives
and work- of the people.
The Department of Education de-
sires that 'Agriculture be taught in
all rural schools. A grant is paid to
every teacher taking this work as
prescribed. The trustees are paid all
sums spent on seeds, apparatus, liooks,
etc, tequired for the work.
In -1916 agriculture vras taught in
8 schools The grants to the teachers
were $165 and to the boards $80.28.
In 1917 the 18 teacher § received
$296.45 and the Boards ,$96.25. The
