On Saturday evening August 2nd, Mr. A. F. Pedlar, delegate to the 0. E. A. from the Artemesia Rural Trus- tees Board, called a meeting in the school house, Eugenia. There was a large attendance of ratepayers pres- ent. Mr. Pedlar gave a fine address, discussing the work of the O.E.A. He said the assemblage of Trustees at the O.E.A. comprsed 1045, includ- ing 864 rural delegates, 174 urbans^ and 7 school officers. T. D. Sinclair B.A., was appointed president instead of Mr. Goodfellow, who was president. Many resolutions wer^- introduced, some of which were carried. There were two resolutions from the A. R. T. Board, viz,â€" (1) That the power should be re- stored to the County Council to dis- charge inspectors. (2) That there should be no increase in the inspec- tor's salary. These were both carr- ied. Another resolution, that the teacher should remain at the school house during the noon hour was also carried. This was defeated two years ago. Trustees to be paid for all the work they do at the school, was carried. Premier Ferguson deliver- ed an excellent addre-ss in reference to the educational system. He said that the system would stand as it is for the present, and that Premier Drury had handed us down one of the finest systems of education. He said that there would be no change what- ever, only that there would be no homework. He hated homework when a lad attending school. His mother had to stand over him to see that his homework was done and he said that if ever he had the chance he'd get even with homework. So now he's got it, and "homework is banished." Miss A. McPhail spoke at the O.E.A. on "Rural needs for Education," which was listened to with great interest. The urban people brought forth the idea for townships to have a school board comprised of three trustees. This was suggested by Macbeth and offset by Boyer of Moorefield. There- was an interesting debate for and against consolidated schools. The negative won. Mr. H. Corbett of Proton was nom- inated on the Executive Committee for 1924 and Mr. Pedlar for Provin- cial Vice-president of tiie rural sec- tions. This was rejected because these two men were both from the same county, so Corbett resigned. This goes to prove that there must be co-operation and organization of the rural sections. The rural people must floor their own problems and fight their own battles. As soon as the townships get organized the rur- als will begin to climb the path of knowledge and not let the urbans do it for them. Rural people must think out their own ideas and plans. Mr. Pedlar visited Cheeseville and Proton school section meetings. Messrs. H. Corbett, G. White, B. Magee, H. ^baw and Stephens were present at the school meeting at Eugenia and they also had attended the O.E.A. Mr. Corbett delivered a fine address on the resolutions introduced; Steph- ens, who upheld the resolution for the County Council to discharge the in- spector at the O.E.A., gave a good address and spoke about the high salary of the inspectors. White gave a short address on consolidated schools. Mr. B. Magee gav^a brief address, and said that tha O.E.A. was a hard place for a man to go to if he was not well versed along educa- tional lines, and was "backward in coming forward." Mr. Shaw spoke on what Premier Ferguson had prom- ised. Mr. Pedlar thinks that the time will come when teacher's sal- aries will be greatly lowered and that a section payjng over $700 for a teacher will have to meet the amount over that sum, as other sections do not derive any benefit from that teacher. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks for those who helped to make it a succes^. It was quite a profitable and interesting meeting.
