If children are raised witbout su- gar, tbey do flot miss it, Dr. Skilling said, and it is not a food, as is commonly tbought. He urged mothers to give their children lots of protei, found in meat, fish, cheese and poultry, and not too much rnilk. Milk has been over-emphasized, lie stated. Too much milk blunts the appetite for the food which a child needs. One pint in a day, and four to five ounces at a time are plenty up to age 12.

After this "washing", a dentifrice may be used if de- sired, but this only helps ta polish and remove stains. Regular dental check-ups are important, and chlldren's teeth should be x-rayed at least once a year, he said. Dental health and general health are closely connected, and children must have the latter in order to absorb knowledge in school. A question period followed Dr. Skilling's address. Mrs. J. Biggs thanked the speaker. Pupils of Grade 8, Central School, performed two sets of square dances which were en- * joyed by all. These were an- nounced by Edith Nimigon. Miss Mari orie Couch, vice- principal of Ontario Street School, and teacher of Home -. Economics, explained what the girls are taught in the one-hour class each week. In addition to simple sewing and cookîng, the girls are taught to set a table, and take turns acting as hostcss and guests.

The Rev. Gilbert D. Smnith, convener of Christian Education pointed out, and the Presbytery concurred, that the offering in church schools should be used for missionary purposes. He announced a young people's conference to be held at Norwood, March 23.

Park, a discussion took place regarding whether the present Home and School Association should be dissolved and an as- sociation be formed in each of the three schools. Pros and cons were brought forward and a vote was taken which seemed to indicate a mai ority against dividing up. However, the de- cision may not be final if mem- bers wish to continue the dis- cussion at the next meeting. Parent - Teacher attendance count was won at Central School by Miss G. Bartlett, Morning Kindergarten;, Ontario Street, Mrs. Reid; Vincent Mas- sey, Miss Winterbottom. Min- utes were read* by Secretary Mlrs. J. Cuddahee, financial re- port by Treasurer Mrs. C. Welsh. Mrs. Park thanked the principals and teachers for holding Open House and for their co-operation with the Home and School meeting. A social half-hour and lunch was enjoyed at the conclusion.
