From Oshiawa came a delegation of Rotarians ta enjay with local members an înspiring and prac- ticai talk on "Modern Education". In presenting his views, Mr. Farmer got down ta basic cases by teiling of the aims, the teacli- ing, the results achieved at the Port Perry Higli Scbool. The les- son lie imparted was that ail edu- cation sbouid combine with the practical a wbolesome enjaymnent of the cultural, with probably greatest stress on the humanities. Mr. Farmer was introduced by Past President Gea. W. James who tald tbat the guest speaker liad been for years a warmn friend and one of the ablest of contem- parary journalists as publisher and editor of the Port Perry Star. Continuousiy for 37 years Mr. Farmer bas been a member of the Part Perry Board of Educatian, and for 50 years he has been a leader in comrnunity betterment. Cliairman of the Educational Committee, Ontario Lilieral Asso- ciation, member af the Lions Club j> and the Port Perry Business Men's Association, Mr. Farmer has found time as 'an author ta write the popular book, "On the Shores of Scugog" and bis paperi lias featured bis weekiy coiumn, "'Letters ta Thase on Active Ser- vice" a fine contribution ta Army morale. At 73 he is stili going strong as one of Ontario's best citizens. Telling of a High Scbool tliat 4 'u serves the community, Mr. Farm- er said: Thu.t is the basis of al ýf plans for education in the Port Perry Hi gh School. Designing the curriculum too meet the needs af the cornmunitY in matters af education lias been the continued work of many years. The pres- ent set-up is the result af the cornbined work of the Port Perry Board of Education, the teaching staff, and the Department of Edu- cation. In recent years, particu- lar credit must be given ta the Principal, Mr. E. R. McCleilan. What lias been done was not accomplisbed in a year or two; but is tbe result of making it a rule ta 'earn ail the grants off er- ed by the Department of Educa- tion-if the conditions were sucli that tbey f itted into the plan of servihg the educationai needs af tlie cornmunity. By this metliod, aur school lias become one of the best equipped in the district; and it was done with but sliglit burden ta the local taxpayer. Wben the Inspector visits aur scbool, we do not wait until lie sends in lis report ta find out wliat lie thinks af aur scliool and its work. Some of us mnake a point of meeting him, and discussing with hlm any sugges- tions be may make. Sucli a plan staves off many misunderstand- ings, and secures the most beip- fui information suitable for aur particular scbool. It sometimes hleps the Inspector ta see prac- tical difficulties in carrying out some particular plan that may fit well - eisewliere, but not in Port Perry.

A recent cartoon appeared in the funnies, depicting a proud mother wbo toid lier neiglibor that ber boy "didn't liring liome no books from scbool now-just tools and blueprints." Our courses of study are not as one- sided as that, nar do they state, "Positîvely no books required." The academic standing of tbis Higb School is weil above the average. The outstanding fact that actuates the teacbing staff is tliat ahl education sbouid be ap- plied ta life, in sucb a manner that practicai service and happy ern- joyment af beauty and wlio'.- some pleasure resuit. It bas been clearly demonstrat- ed that mental development and true appreciation ai the best in lufe can lie secured tlirough in- telligent study ai English, Science, Histary, Mathematics, and kindred subjects. Anly stu- dent wlio folaws through wliat may lie iearned of and frorn these subjects, may develop an aiert mi, and a lbelpful nature. In tlie teaching ai Agriculture and Home Ecanomics, care lias been taken ta give a practical1 turn tualal that is studied. There are two lines of evidence of thîs fact. 1. Most of the scbool projects have been made ta pay a profit ta tbe student undertaking the pro- ject. 2.

The fact is that bath teacliers and trustees deliglit tu tell about the schaol. Every week or su we have visitars frorn some Canadian point, who corne ta see what it is ail about. TÎhe beauty of it ail is the fact thaï this înterest was not created mnereiy -oy blowing aur own aruin'. We have followed the ad- vce of the Department af Ectu- ýation, and 'the Departrnent is prouct of the results. The adver- tisng af the schooilihas corne ai- iios c entirely from that source. This does not rnean that aur teacbers and truptees are lacking in iueas of their awn; but it dues mean that they have develaped aaaptabiity; and have a keen ap- preciation ai "the side an which their bread is buttered". One feature of the achool work lias given us great pleasure. That is, the advancement af aur stu- dients in their love ai music. They have been inspired and skiifuily trained liy a taiented teacher, Mrs. Rowe, oi Whitby. We don't want you ta steailiher frorn us. The recent victory in the Kins- men Music Week over three pick- ed Toronto chairs, gave tbem rea- son for pardonable pride. To sum up: aur objective is the best educational service ta meet o u r community requirernents. This lias been accamplished in most practicai fashion, as is Contlnued on page seven German Prisoners Scheduled To Leave Locali Prison Camp According ta information f ree- ly circulating localiy, the German prisaners naw coniined within Interniment Camp 30, the former Boys' Training School, just lie- yond the town's limits, are ta lie removed completely on or before April 15.

Rates y Commission rates have flot been reduced at ail during that period. The re- suit is that on such basis of cal- culation the Public Utilities has saved the electric consumers of the town $250,373 as compared ta $7,019.10 additional paid in taxes by the C.P.R. However, the true picture is perhaps better put in this way. Electricity and water are bath common servants of ail the peo- pie. Tliey are flot put up in fancy packages, different brands and made to fit the taste or eccen- tricities of the individuai. They should be made available to ail the people at the lowest possible cost s0 that the standard of liv- ing can lie consistently increased. for everybody. That is the rea- son that the Provincial Commis- sion, and in turn tbe municipal commissions, are constantly striv- ing ta reduce the rates and the costs ta the consumer. That is also the reason more and more eiec- tricity is being used bath in the home and in the factory ta bring us better living conditions. Sources of power in Ontaria are a long way from the present large centres of population; trans- mission costs are a big factor. Very large power develapments are stili ta be financed. Ontario bas the iargest per capita kilowatt hour consumption of any like area in the worid. Low cost hydra power is the reason for that record and will be one of the major factors in post war ex- pansion. Low cost power can bring greater direct benefits 'ta mare people than can the amaunts raised by further taxation. Once the tax base is braadened then an uncertain element enters inta the cost of power that cannot lie esti- mated over a long term period and which is essential when fbif- ing rates that are applicable ta an area the size of the Province af Ontario.

Subse- quent reduction in prices will de- pend upon the papular respanse ta televisian, whicb would resuit in greater and greater mass pro- duction," Mr. Sbeen says. The radio industry, ta date, lias spent an estimated $50,000,000 an television development, with no return, an indication, says Mr. Sheen, of its interest and belief in tbe future of this medium.
