CHAIRMAN Part Time Classes Suggested For Adolescents Not At School Very little was accomplished at | last night's meeting of the Board of | Education, other than the referring | of routine reports to various com- mittees to be acted upon, for the very good reason that there was no issue of importance to discuss. In the absence of Lir. C. N. Henry. chairman, who was called to Toronto | where his father died Sunday, Trus- tee, E. W. Drew occupied the chair. On the motion of Trustee H. 8. Smith the board decided to send a letter of condolence, expressing the sym pathy of the board, to Mr. Henry in his sad bereavement. J. G. Althouse, principal of the High School, told the board that there were two groups of vouug peo- ple in Oshawa who were desirous of proving their educational status would enable them to enter . wauversity. One group was com- posed of youths who had, for some before the acquirement of their junior matricu- lation. The other group was cor. | posed of a number of the public school teaching staff. He advocated that some provision might be made for these® citizens in the way of a preparatory course. He had refer- red the matter to W. J. Dunlop, of the University Extension branch, To- ronto, and the latter official had told the principal that the teachers in question would be asked to pro- cure first ¢lass teaching certificates before the matter would be attended to. The request was referred to the | hoard of management. { Part Time Classes P. i. Punshon, school attendance officer, im his report, stated that there wus considerable delinquency in the southern part of the town but added that on the whole the attend- 'ance in this district was fairly good He advocated the immediate inaugur- who had been excused from school under the Adolescent Act The Board's failure to do $0 would result in the officer refusing to issue furth er certificates giving permission either for howe or outside work. Xo reply, one oi the board am- nounced. to the letter directed to Dr. Merchant in regard to the sead- ing of an official here to review the situation here and report on the pro- posed technical school. The report of the school dentists, Dr. Tucker and A. Phillips showed that 74 children had received treat- ment during the month. An application was received from John Comrie, caretaker of the High School, for 2m increase in salary from $1.440 to $1,800 per annum. High School Report The following report was present- ed by J. G.

M'BAIN There Are 218 Different Sects in United States and Canada CHRIST WANTED UNITY Presbyterians Initiated Move- ment But Have Strong Minority Against "In the United States and Canada | there are no less than two hundred | and eighteen different sects, all pro- | fessing to be followers of Jesus Christ. They may be the results of | different forms of governments, { modes of doing this thing or that {or they may have doctrines which | are considered fundamental or es- sential," declared Rev. J. H. Me- Bain, pastor of Simcoe Street Metho dist Church on Sunday evening in | the course of a forceful address on "Church Union." Unity among churches is a movement to which Presbyterians and Methodists are de- | voting much time. At the Methodist Conference, at present in session in Toronto, a resolution was passed favoring union. Taking for his text John 17-20 which concerned Christ's last meet- ing with his disciples, Mr. McBain averred that his one thought was for anity and harmony among his fol- lowers. The spirit of harmony and unity led to happiness and ultimately to success. At the beginning there was the utmost harmony, all things were in common but ere long the partisan spirit asserted itself, some | joining Paul's forces and others choosing different leaders. It was |in this manner that the church bad been divided and to this day th spirit had never been dispelie: There are 218 different sects in North ,merica and the speaker declared {it was not right according to the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Some of these influences are the Y.M.C.A, Bible Societies, Womens' Missionary | Societies and the W.C.T.U. but the | greatest movement of all is that of | students who are getting to-gether | in colleges, the speaker said. In | his opinion one of the most notable | events was the recent convention held | in England when 250 Bishops tried {to reach a solution as to how they could best heal the discord among | the denominations.
