The Exeter Con - m tinuation school continues to do sue.: meetine was held at Goderich on Oc- tober 10-11, 1918,, with 130 neernbers present. As agriculture is the chief industry of the county and of the Province, it heating with green wood or the school it fitting that agriculture should . be was closed; altogether_ much time was taught M all the public schools, espec- lost. During the present term, . all ially the, rural schools. The Federal 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 keep them company. No matter what the safeguards are, pupils, in suffie- iently prepared are being admitted to. 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 act the last annual meeting and action decided on as soon as conditions wee favorable, 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 grants have not yet been apportioned td the 33 schools in -which agriculture apd horticulture were taught in 1918.- - 'The teachers have been -faithful and diligent in the discharge of their dot - lei, In spite Of the loss of time the progress of the school work has been steady and substantial. The 1915 regulations of the Depart- ment of Education considerably in- crease the duties of the county school inspectors. The number of teachers per inspector is not intended to enceed As the diamonds, from the mine, They are, cut with glittering steel, If ih perfect beauty to shine, Must be polished and shaped on the wheel. God looked on the hearts of the na- tions • And saw all the sin of their day, By war and famine and pestilence, Must the evil be purged away. God wants us all to shine, • Strong to achieve and endure, Filled with His o spirits divine, Peerless and *perfect and pure. So all of Work together, Is part of a wodderful plan To knit the hearts of the netions, In the ldrotherhood of man.

Mr. McAleer had complained of a cold and the Fri- day previous to his death was removed to St. Joseph's Hospital* suffering from slight symptoms of pneumonia. His parents were notified of his illnese and arrived in London Friday night 'No alarming symtoms appeared, however, until Wednesday afternoon, when he began sinking rapidly, and despite every effort known to medical. aid he died as stated above. The de- ceased was a striking type of young manhood, possessing a lovable end whining disposition with an unsp,oted character; made many friends and left a lasting impression on all those whora he met. During his school days he was remarkable for his keen intellect and close application to study; before signing with :the Canadian treops• he' was head shipping clerk with the Gordon -Pagel Co., of Detroit, and had a brilliant future. It is indeed sad that he should be so early taken from this World, which he was so well fitted to extern.
