The impressive lust of hanorary membens was nevised, which includes the latte and present editors of The Canadiian Statesman. The rebinding cf the old and valued minute bocks, started back in 1898, has been arrang- ed. Refreshments were served by the hastes. Mns. O. B. Dickinson. Stormy winter weather has consistently set records each Friday night for the meetings. The meeting fon Jan. 27th was no exception! Sa violent was the weather with snow, rain and !ces that the meeting was canceiled - a most unusual circunistance In the Club's history! This entire meeting was postpaned until April. The previaus meeting was held Nov. 25tb at the usual k lace. The speaker was Pasi nesident Alan A. Martin, B.A., B.Paed., whose necollec- tions o! the life-long "Experi- ences o! a School Inspector" wene both amusing and en- lightening. Past President G. J. Spicer as canvenor introduced Mr. Martin, and said he was born an a faim in Clarke Township startin.g his life wonk af school in a one-room country ichool. As a graduate cf the Faculty of Education, Mr. Martin was fiist teacher then later Inspector of Schools. In 1951 Mr. Martin was moved by the DeIt. of Education ta the Inspectonate of Peel Coun- ty in Port Credit wbere his contribution ta education was bonored by naming the Alan A . Martin School after bim. Mn. Martin tbanked the con- venor for his flattering ne- marks ýand said he thougbt they mÙist reier ta someone else! "During my iinst seven Years of teaching experience the thing which taught me the most were the pupîls themnselves and how not ta act as an Inspectai. In 1926 1 had 45 C pupils and In came thp Inspector who asked them among other questions: "The two, chie! activities in the inechanism of an auto?" 1 wss prayirlg, don't ask me!j A littie girl tnied it and wasi told by thse Inspector, "If youi *dont know, sit dawn and shut!

It is a good idea 1 ta love, but be canservative?' tOne teacher said, "in glaci yau don't cbew tobacco, your -predecessor spit in the waste -basket and it was hard ta clean up." Mr. Martin's first appoint- ment in 1929 was te Hastings ron the Tient River. One tea- 1cher had 60 pupils - very iheavy class moins requiring )discipline bath for teachers fand pupils. The stock market ,crash of 1929 made terrible times. "A good part af my time was spent among lady teachers with whom I always feit at home during the 23 1years. 1 was iniormed by the Board abut one lady teacher: "We had ber sister and she was na gaad - this one is worse!" With patience and understanding I lived ta hear the Principal say, "I don't need ta go inta that class- noom - there bas been a ne- volution! I would rather lose anyone rather than this lady teacher!" "The pupil-teacher systemi of " reading, witing and aritbmetic" came from Eng- land in 1790 - an anganized «steni which had the Inspec- 'ton in a whirl! Reading ex- ample: "Every little wave bas its nigbt-cap an."' In 1936 the Assistant Manager af In- ternational Nickel wished ta put up a schaol at Smitbfield in memony of old home week; no agreement could be neacb- ed as ta thse place ta put it.
