Baker, V.S., Toronto, will be on hand to ^ give in- formation in veterinary science. This gentlemen was in charge of the fire j and at the horses in Hamilton previous to the installation of motor fire equipment. On the same occasion, at least three | classes of horses have been secured j by Mr. T. W. Findlay so that a horse . show will also be held on the same Trustees' Assoc. Hold Profitable Discussion The public meeting held in the town hall on Saturday afternoon for the purpose of discussing the town- ship school board bill, and other ed- ucational matters was well attended, and many questions of interest were brought forward and discussed by those interested. Mr. R. J. Woods, ex-M. P. for Dufferin, and Mr. Farquhar Oliver were the principal spe;|kers, Mr, Woods, in a very capable address, stressed the deteriorating effect which centralization had, and would continue to have if brought to bear on school life. The child he said was better in the sectional school, where he would be benefited by the home influences, and the increased interest in his welfare. While the present school system is in vogue, trustees act voluntarily, and without renumeration, while the ten men who look after the consolidated machinery would have to be paid without the interest which trustees have always had in their own school. Under con- solidation, the section loses control of the teacher. A section having built a new school would be doubly taxed, in order to meet the deben- tures issued and also to inagurate and maintain the new school. He stated that when these conditions existed in a school section, he was absolutely opposed to consolidation. Mr. Farquhar Oliver gave a splen- did address on educational reform, and pleaded for all to consider ways and means by which the educational system would tend to keep the boys and girls on the farm, instead of ad- ding impetus to the tendency which exists, of the youthful rural pop- ulation drifting to the towns and cities. Mr. Oliver stated that tra- ditionalism was a hindrance to the anticipated changes, and asked for Denmark's reformation to be emu- j lated in part by us Canadian people in our educational system. Political differences should not be allowed to crop up and prevent good school legislation. At the conclusion, each . speaker was extended a hearty vote of thanks for their splendid efforts; Some good questions were asked j and replied to by many who were ! interested and the meeting was what was intended, a profitable discuss- j ion only. Mr. A. F. Pedlar acted as chairman conclusion, the meeting Quiet Council Meeting A quiet session of th^ village coun- cil was held in the town hall on Mon- day evening, there being present the reeve, and councillors Findlay Inkster and Richardson. Communications were received from the Minister of Provincial Highways : in regard to fee to Good roads assoc- 1 iatin; letter frm the County treasur- er with regard to the sale of certain lands in the village for arrears of taxes. Accounts were received from the Municipal World, stationery, etc., $18.05 ; W. Turney, account for install- ing light at library $10.25, and on a motion by T. W. Findlay, seconded by W. Inkster the accounts were ordered to be paid. With regard to the sending a dele- gate to the Good Roads Association annual meeting and for membership thereto it was thought that there was not much gained by attending it and it was moved by T. W. Findlay sec- onded by C. N. Richardson that they do not entertain membership in the Association. Mr. Andrew Gilchrist would not ac- cept the, appointment of Sanitary In- spector in the village which was given him at the last meeting and the Reeve brought the matter up for another ap- pointment. On motion of T. W. Find- lay seconded by W. S. Inkster that Jos. Blakely be appointed Sanitary ! Inspector for the year 1926 at the sal- ary of. 11.00 per month. Mr. Blakely accepted the position. The committees were appointed to the same positions as last year viz.: roads, Mr. Inkster, chairman; hydro, C. N. Richardson chairman; Side- walks, Fred Stuart chairman; Prop- erty, park and fire, T.
