The reports of the School In- spectors for North and South Ontario were presented. Mr. T. R. Ferguson reported that in the inspectorate of North On- tario, there were seven teachers with first class certificates, 83 with second class certificates, 6 with third class, and one teach- ing on a district certificate. He also reported that the number of rural schools serving hot lunches had increased and he expected a larger increase in the imemdiate future. i play had been introduced and that had added to the interest of the pupils. The attendance in the term just passed was the best since he was an Inspector, this he thought was due to the more efficient teaching, the hot lunches, organized play, and the better work of the attendance officers. Working in conjunc- tion with Medical Health Officer he had been able to do much in Improving the water supply. . R. A. Hutchison, P.S. In- spector for South Ontario, stat- ed that now there were three continuation schools and three High Schols within driving dis- tance of every student in the In-. spectorate. A _ new school sec- tion had ben" formed east and north of the town of Oshawa. New schools have been built at Claremont -- $40,000, 5 rooms, Public and Continuation; Brook- 1in--$40,000, 6 rooms, Public and Continuation; Pickering-- $25,000 (remodelled). S.8.

J. C. Bell had dropped dead in a store in Uxbridge. On telephoning to Dr. Shier, the coroner in Ux- bridge, we learned that death had come to the aged Slergyman in King & Rnight's butcher shop, and that it had been due to a paralytic stroke. After proper examination, the Coroner ordered the body removed to the undertaking rooms where it was prepared for burial, and arrived in Port Perry on Tuesda SYeNIng.: Rev. J. C. Bell, who has lived in Port Perry for some six years, was a man of fine physique, and in spite of his 75 years,no man seemed more unlikely to die at the time. Indeed, on the very day of his death, a letter was received by Mrs. W. Graham (his sister-in-law) stating that Mr. and Mrs. Bell were both well. Rev. J. C. Bell was in the active ministry of the the Methodist Church for forty years, and was well known aud greatly liked by his people on the man charges where he was stationed throughout this vicinity. Among other places he was stationed at Brooklin, Pickering, and other charges in the Bay of Quinte Conference. Service is being held in the Methodist Church on Thursday, Jan'y 31, at 10.30 a.m. A private ser- vice will be held at his - late residence on Thursday afternoon, and interment will be made at Brooklin Cemetery. Last Fall Mr. Bell's aged sister, who lives at Sandford near Uxbridge, urged Mr. and Mrs. Bell to spend the Winter with her. So they closed up their home in Port Perry, expecting to be back in the Spring. Mr. Bell was a great lover of home, and no gar- . dens or lawns were more beautifally kept. ey were a model for anyone to follow. Since his retirement from the ministry, Mr. Bell has taken little part in public affairs,although he had many calls to preach, which he filled most accept- ably. He was particularly sought after on anniver- sary occasions on his former charges. His service had spread over many years, and his memory could recall incidents and associations that were pleasin and inspiring. He had a ready wit, was genial an kindly in his disposition, and was a thoughtful neigh- bor. Last year he consented to act as Superintendent "of the Methodist Sunday School, and it was expected that he would resume his duties in the Spring. But that was not to be. Forty years of service in the Methodist Church carries with it its own reward," not in material wealth, but in friendships formed, and in numberless opportunities to do good. Mr. Bell will'be greatly missed about town, and the sympathy of the community is extended to Mrs. Bell in her bereavement. : Port Perry and Gravenhurst Play Tie Game. The ice was heavy at the Tuesday night game, but the play was good throughout. Gravenhurst put up a fast, clean game. ey are fast skaters and play their positions well. No. 10 was their star performer. . The fact that the score was a tie--2-2, gives an idea of the game thro-ghout. It was a long, hard struggle, with but little Opportunity for spectacular play. Heavy ice makes a dead puck. There was no shooting from centre ice, but allthe goals were scored from a Join within a few feet from the nets, the Port goals being put in by Art Brock and Gi Raines. * Ted Jackson put up a great game, Deshane sustained his feputation as the invincible goal keeper.
