EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.
--One of Wingham's taxpayers re-
marked to the editor the other day :
"I was at the Council meeting and I
rade up my mind who to vote for,"
That's right. Ratepe,yers,shquld dr op
in occasionally and hear the "debates"
and get an idea of "parliamentary
procedure" (?) It helps- to *idea a
man's horizon to see how legislators
even in municipal affairs/do things.
Of course we need not/remind our
readers of the fact that/a man's value
as a m nicipal legislator should not be
judged byy the,, .nstunt of talk he in-
dulges in at the Council, We have
known instances of those who talked
the most, but said the least.
-The Inspector for the Fire Under-
writers was here recently and made a
"test" of our fire -fighting capabilities.
Of course, the firemen thought it was
a real fire, and were promptly on
hand. Only the Mayor knew it was a
"test" ; he knows a thing or two (we
have this on the auttteriff of, Mr.
Spotton's most jnti"'mate friends,)
Some think the test was "not a suc-
cess," but judging from the ‘;,fioise"
afterward, and the length -of the
Council meeting (3a hours); discussing
it, we judge that it mus(;` have been
a "howling success.";-`omne say there
was not enough "pressure," while
others felt that so far as they were
concerned, the "pressure" was quite
heavy enough. Neither did the ratan
at the hydrant complain of the lack
of "pressure," when the water soused
him.
* * *
-Some wise remarks have been
made about Time, and the swiftness
of the passing moments. We have
all heard about "flying minutes,"
"precious moments" and
"We take no note of Time, save
by its flight."
Pshaw, all these ideas would have
been knocked sky-high, if you had
been at the special Council meeting
on the "test," on Thursday evening
last. The Mayor says it lasted 3i
hours (and everybody knows George
wouldn't exaggerate on so serious a
question.) But the length of the
"Talkfest" is vouched for by another
member of the Council, who informed
the editor that it was ten minutes to
twelve when he got home, "And
what did they do" ? asked the editor.
"Nothing" replied the Councillor,
with a look of disgust. Took a long
time to do it, didn't it ? mused the
editor.
* * *
-Sometimes the Town Council is
severely criticised, Like previous
Councils, they have probably made
mistakes. Who does not, even in his
own business ? The Advance does not
feel like saying harsh things. No
doubt the present members have done
their best ; nearly all men elected to
so responsible a position try to use
their best judgment. Of course one
set pf men may do better than anoth-
er ; but often circunatances are more
favorable for one Council than for
another, Some have said that the
present Council is very poor, in fact
"the worst ever" to use the exact
words. We cannot pass so severe a
judgment, and will give them credit
for being conscientious in the dis-
charge of their duties. The Water-
works committee has had a specially
hard year, and have done a lot of
work, and spent many hours from
their own business affairs. Surely we
ought to give them credit for their
honest endeavor, The Council does
not seem to have pleased all ; neither
can we recollect' one that did. If not
satisfied, the duty of the ratepayers is
efears--vote out the inefficient, and
elect others in their place. The
majority elects, and municipalities
generally get what they seek for along
this line. Here is the point -Whole-
sale denunciation accomplishes little
good, but it does deter other citizens
from taking up municipal duties. Who
wants to run the gauntlet of abuse
and harsh criticism P The position is
not worth what is often given in
return for the labor and time given to
the Work.
* * *
--There is often a lot of misunder-
standing regarding our Town finances,
even among otherwise well-informed
people. Personally, the writer sees no
cause for pessimism regarding the
future of our Town. For a town of
this size to have waterworks, sewer
system, electric power, etc., of course
means expense, but is it not worth
something to have these conveniences
What kind of a town would Wing-
ham be without thein P Fancy us

debentures expire. This annual de-
benture of $1528 08 in itself means two
mills each year. Then in, 1918, Con-
solidated debentures A of $8500 will
expire. Wingham is all right, and
there is really no cause for alarm, nor
pessimism. Careful supervision of
the expenditure, consistent with pro-
gress, will see the good Town of
Wingham better than ever, five years
hence. Be optimistic.
I.IETLE HELPS.
If any little word of mine
May make's life the brighter ;
If any little song of mine
May make a heart the lighter -
God help me speak the little word
And take my bit of singing,
And drop it in some lonely vale,
To set the echoes ringing;
If any little love of mine
May make a life the sweeter,
If any little care of mine
May make a friend the fleeter;
If any lift of mine may raise
The burden of another -
God give me love, and Gare, and
strength
To help my toiling brother.
Please Do So.

Won Silver Salver.
Ralph Discher, of Dungannon, the
14 -year-old lad who made such re-
markably high scores at Jiong Branch
during the Ontario Rifle Association
rifle meet this ,;year, has further °idis-
tinguished l i`mself by winning the
Government silver salver. This Is a
trophy off red to each civiliarf rifle
association, nd competeditSr by in-
dividual members; ---T6 contest at
Dungannon covered three days, and
the shooting was at 200, 500 and 600
yards. The boy's score was 388 out of
a possible 420, or 12 points ahead of
any adult marksman in the com-
petition,
Goderich Boy Injured.
What might easily have prow an a
fatal accident occurred last F.iday,
when Tom and Harry, sons of John
Chisholm of Goderich, were out on a
shooting expedition. Seeing some
wild ducks on the pond, Tom made a
short cut across a field with a view of
arousing the birds in order that he
might be able to take fire "on the
wing." In doing so, however, he got
in line with, his brother and the ducks.
Seeing his brother pointing the gun
in the direction of the rising birds, he
ducked behind a post, but the brother
had fired, and Toni received some of
the shot in his arms and knees, one
shot entering the cheek. Only his
promptness in ducking as he did pre-
vented a more serious accident, if not
a fatality. •
A Comparison.
A few weeks ago the Advance gave
figures from Provincial statistics
showing from the latest returns, the
debenture debt of a number of towns
of Ontario. Some of our citizens
would like to see them again, so we
reproduce there for the sake of com-
parison. Most of the figures are for
the last year for which returns are
filed, but the figures for Wingham
are down to date :-

EAST HURON TEACHERS'
ASSOCIATION.
The 39th annual Convention of Blast
Huron Teachers. was held in the Opera
Rouse, Wingham, Oct. 17th, 18th.
The morning session opened in due
form. In the absence of the Presi-
dent, Mr. Holman, Mr. Field occupied
the chair. Programme and Resolu-
tion committees were appointed and
reporters drafted. -
Mayor Spotton opened the ,after-
noon session with a cordial address of
welcome, Mr. Logan, specialist in
penmanship of Peterborough Busi-
ness College, was then called upon.
He opened his discourse with the
utilitarian value of good writing as a
source of expression in alt the subjects
of the curriculums. It was shown that
the muscular movement far surpassed
the old detrimental copy -book system,
in that it is the quote practical sys-
tem, Mr. Logan demonstrated the
proper position of pull and pupil to
achieve the best results. With the
aid of the board, he showed the
various steps in the progression from
the lowest to the highest grades. The
address was followed by an enthusias-
tic discussion on writing. Mr. Logan
is on the teaching staff of Peter-
borough Normal School and is
thoroughly acquainted with the sub-
ject,
This was followed by a girl's chorus
under the superintendence of Miss
Reynolds. The thorns was heartily
encored and replied to by a second
performance. This was an excellent
demonstration of what may be done
by the Tonic Sol fa system.
This was followed by an address
by Mr. S. Pickles, who is on the staff
of London and Stratford Normal
Schools. He first dwelt on the neces-
sity of Normal Training as a liberal
education. If we are true to our pro-
fession, we must develop the child's
motor activities which are lying dote
mant. Pupils require a certain stimu-
lus and Manual Training fulfils this
requirement. The training in three
R's is now being displaced by the
training of the three H's, Heart,
Beed and Hand.
In his second address Mr. Pickles
first dealt with the method of teach-
ing Manual Training. He exhibited
excellent samplesof hand -work done
by public school pupils and explained
their construction. This address as
well as the first *as very greatly ap-
preciated.
Mr. G. R. Smith of the High School
staff, gave an excellent paper on
"Methods in Arithmetic." His re-
marks were of an encouraging char-
acter. ;;The changes in the methods of
dealing with number were illustrated
and the practical side exemplified.
He made a short reference to the
Metric System, its origin, and its
gradual displacement of other sys-
tems. Examples of rapid calculation
and short methods were developed on
the blackboard.
Ms. Percy, also of the High School
S.Aff, followed Mr. Smith with a paper
n . t Nature Study. He provided a
solution for the problem of Nature
Study in the Public School. He de-
r`nonstrated through the theory of
evolotion, the close connection be-
tween man and Nature. Nature Study
is purely human and the pupil should
learn it in such a manner as to acquire
the knowledge by his own efforts,
Dictating of notes by the teacher was
strongly condemned, Collections and
notes made by First Form pupils were
exhibited. In concluding Mr. Percy
gave a brief outline of the work which
should be taken up in Nature Study.
The address was highly applauded,
On Friday morning the officers for
the year 1912.13 were elected :--Presi-
dent, Mr., B. S. Scott of Brussels ;
Vice -Pres,,. Mr. A, Naylor, Seaforth ;
2nd Vice-Prec., Miss Smith, Brussels ;
Executive Committee -Messrs. Bouch,
Holman, Fowler, Misses MacGregor
and Welsh ; Secretary, Mr. Stalker,
Wingham,
Miss Blyth then gave an interesting
paper on Art, setting forth the value
of the subject in all branches of study.
An outline of . the course and the
methods in teaching was also given
Mr. Field then told the audience that
Miss Blyth's remarks were not theory
but that she had put them into prac-
tice with excellent results.
Miss Rance of Clinton gave a bright
talk on Golden Silence and Silver
Speech. There has not been enough
stress placed on Reading since it is of
value in all subjects. Natural Reading
should be encouraged and is indispen-
sable as a means of proper inepres•
sion.
Mr. Musgrove, M. L. A.., gave a
Splendid talk on matters pertaining to
the oondtti bis
M
b of previous tines co
p
a m
pared with present conditions. The
teaching profeesion has a bright and
progressive outlook. At conventions
some years ago, the majority of the
teaehes were males. Now it is the
reverse, Whether this condition w- .
aa
better than the old, Mr. Musgrove
declined to say,

Mr, Pooliff then gave a short but
interesting talk on School Sports,
showing the value of physical develop-
ment as an aid in building up a bright
and healthy mind. It also breaks
down the barrier between the pupil
and his instructor,
Mr. Holman, the retiring Pres,,
closed the session with a few remarks
on "My Ideal School," dealing particu-
larly with the well balanced pro-
gramme and the good relationship
existing between teacher and pupil,
these being the main features of an
Ideal School.
The Resolution committee met and
drafted the following resolutions
1 Resolved that a hearty vote of
thanks be tendered to the people of
Wingham for their hospitality and
hearty welcome,
2 Resolved that a vote of thanks be
tendered to Miss Reynolds for the
excellent numbers rendered.
3 Resolved that a vote of thanks be
tendered to those who provided the
night's entertainment.
4 Resolved that a vote of thanks be
tendered to those who contributed to
the programme of the convention.
5 Resolved that there should be a
membership fee of 25 cts.
6 Resolved that there should be a

The Arion Male . Quartette.
Don't fail to hear the Sacred Concert
which is to be given in the Methodist
Church on Thanksgiving night by
the church choir.
This choir as all know who have
heard them lately, is doing excellent
work, and the numbers which they
will render will alone be worth the
price of admission.
The Arion Male Quartette of To-
ronto, who will assist them, is the
paid quartette of the Queen St. Metho-
dist church and is one of the finest
organizations in Canada. They have
appeared more often at the Massey
Music Hall, Toronto, than any other
quartette in Canada during the past
season. With them is Mr, Charles H.
Leslie, one of Toronto's finest Bari-
tone's. He has been requested to sing
"The Lord is My Light," this being
one of his very best numbers.
This is a rare opportunity of the
churchgoing people of Wingham to
hear a real high class sacred concert at
a very nominal price, 25c, and to aid
the choir in their good work.
The doors will be closed during the
numbers, so come early.
Thanksgiving Visitors.
The editor of this paper cannot
possibly be everywhere; often he does
not know the name or home of visi-
tors. Thanksgiving guests will visit
you. Hand in their names in good
time for the personal column,
Hamilton Real Estate.
On page 8, will be found the advt.
of Thorp & Thompson, real estate
agents of Hamilton. Mr. Thompson
is well-known in Wingham, having
been a resident here for several years
and clerk in one of our hardware
stores. Wingham people, who may
desire information on real estate in
Hamilton, will find the firm of Thorpe
& Thompson courteous, attentive and
reliable.
The Mayoralty.
The Advance can announce with
certainty that Mr. Wm. Bone will be
a candidate for the Mayoralty for
1913. Mr. Bone has been in the
Council four years, and has given the
Town good service. Should he be
elected Mayor, he may be relied on to
put forth faithful, conscientious effort
in the interests of the Town. So far,
no others have announced their in-
tentions, to the editor.
Yes, He Sat Down.
The Harriston Review reports the
following :-A prominent citizen went
home to tea at dusk the other evening,
and his wife was busy baking pies.
She had just removed three from the
oven and placed them on a bench,
and was relaying the oven when her
energetic spouse bustled in and sat
down on a hot "squash" pie. The
curtain drops here, but there was an
uprising in that domestic circle,
Banquet To A Cow.
There have been all kinds of ban-
quets to all kinds of people, but out in
Calgary this month there is to be a
banquet in honor of a cow. The name
of this celebrated creature is Rosalind
of old Basing, whose claim to honor
lies in the fact that she has produced
almost eight tons of milk in a year.
There is one good thing about this, the
cdw will not have to listen to the us-
ual stereotyped "address", nor be ex-
pected to "reply in appropriate'
words",
Lost Father And Mother.
Mr. J. H. Carruth of town has been
passing tbrough severe bereavement
recently losing both father and
mother, who were former residents
of Wingham. On Oetober Oth, his
father, Mr. John Carruth, died aged
72, and one week later, on the lath,
his mother passed away, aged. 71.
They resided in Wingham for many
years, but recently lived in West To-
ronto, Three sons are left, J. H. of
Wingham, W. J. and R. S. of Toron-
to, also two daughters, Mies Beatrice
at home, and Mrs. (Dr.) Hackett of
Winnipeg. The double sorrow is in-
deed a heavy one for the bereaved re-
latives.
Huron County Field Day.
Sunday last was the Field day for
the Dominion Alliance in Huron coun-
ty, and the pulpits of many of the
churches were occupied by strangers.
Rev, R. M. Hamilton, B. A., Field
Secretary of the Alliance, preached in
the Presbyterian Church in the
morning, and in the Methodist Church
at night. Ile also addressed a gather-
ing in the Town Liell in the after-
noon, Dr. Irwin presiding. Mr.
Hamilton is a ready speaker and well-
informed on the subject, Mi. Norris,
of the Sherlock Male Quartette, To-
ronto, sang at each of these services.
Mr. McDertnid of Toronto preached in
Bluevale and Eadiea' Presbyterian
churches, and in Wingham Baptist
Church in the evening. Rev.
C
.
Powell of Clinton spoke at Beltnore
and McIntosh's. Liberal offerings
were received in aid of the work of
the Alliance. The Field day
practic
al-
ly marks the opening of the campaign

In fraternal societies where mem-
bers have at most only to pay coopera-
tion cost for their protection, the wis-
dom of so paying and creating the
necessary reserve, is every day becom-
ing more apparent. This position has
been approved of years ago by the
members of the I. O. F, under the
leadership of the present S. C. R.,
whose slogan bas ever been "Solvency
and Honesty" as the key notes for
permanence and progress. As a result
the reserve fund of the LO,F., ($19,000,
000), is to -day the largest by millions
of any fraternal society in America,
while the policies, ranging from $500
to $5,000, carried by the quarter mil-
lion of men and women members of
the Order, provide more protection in
death benefits, disability -benefits, and
old age surrender values, as well as in
the fraternal protection for needy
children of worthy members who have
died, and for those of its members who
have died, and for those of its mem-
bers who unfortunately become af-
flicted with consumption. Mr. E.
A. Shoebotham D. 5, C. R., I, 0.
