THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1333 aw! , ! "Memories" I By A. S. THURSTON \ Choral Concert Id Flesherton Tuesday VAN ZANT: Elias Van Zant not only brought harmony to the village when he came in 1883, but he taught other:; how to produce it. In fact, they got so they '^lew" about it, quite • considerably. "Van" organized the first brass band in Flesherton, we understand, in which he performed on the E-flat comet, which we art led to believe isn't flat at all, but rather high-pitched. For 25 years he was a bandmaster, and his son Merve, prizes a very fine cornet with gold bell, which was presented his father. The old band was a very efficient organization and their con- certs on the square were something to remember. He married Fanny Ottewell, a sis- ter of Dr. Jos. Ottewell, in Newmark- et, and lived 17 years in Flesherton. His wife passed away in 1920, and he has been in poor health for some time, living at 68 Summerhill Ave., in Toronto. Their family consists of Gertrude (Mrs. C. Morris), Toronto; Mervyn, Toronto, a successful importer of drug specialties, living at 95 River- side Drive; Rita (Mrs. (Dr.) Holmes), Toront?, and Milton, salesman, living at home. VANDELEUR Y.P.S.

TEST OF DRUNKENNESS Paris has evolved a new system ot determining the sobriety of motorists, and it is very simple, just this: 'Close your eyes and touch your nose." But a motorist who could not pass this test declared his nerves were affected by the accident and this made it im- possible for him to touch his nose with his eyes closed. It promises to revive the old question: "When is a man drunk?" And many claim there is no real test for drunkenness. â€" Hanover Post.

The session opened Thursday morn- ing when greetings were "brought from the town council by Mayor Will- iams and from the Board of Educa- tion by Mr. E. J. McEwen. Devo- tional exercises were conducted by Rev. F. G. Sherring, M.A. Mi.5S Myrtle C. Martin, of Stayner, and president of the Institute, gave a very helpful and practical address on the subjects of curriculum. Ralph Ban bury, B.S.A. followed with an inter- esting address on agriculture. An- drew R. Kidd, of Everett, concluded the morning's session with an in- structive talk on short methods in arithmetic. Music had a place in the afternoon program when Miss Ilia Fell led an interesting discussion on "Music in the School." Miss Jean Murphy, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Murphy, of Everett, delighted th( gathering with two recitations. Mr. -A.. Harvey, of the King George school, Collingwood, then followed with a helpful paper on the teaching of com- position. Burns Kirstine, Glen Hur- on, explained in a clear manner his ideas regarding "Organization and Management in a Rural School." Miss Violet King, New Lowell, favorea with a piano solo. Th2 first day's session was concluded when Mi-ss Moir, B.A., of the Collegiate staff gave an interesting talk on art. Friday's session was opened when Rev. E. 0. Eastman led in a devotion- al period. W. A. Marshall, B.A.. im- pressed upon the teachers the im- portance of their work and suggested many ideas of value. Primary meth- ods were well treated by the Misses McCall, Lunan, and Kells. Mr. A McCall gave a reading much to the delight of the teachers. E. B. Fry of Victoria school, Collingwood, con- cluded the morning session with an instructive address on "History in the Public School." The final session began when Miss Maude McTaggart, A.T.C.M. render- ed two very pleasing solos in her usual fine style. Vera Siddal, of Honeywood, winner of first prize in the oratorical contest at the Honey- wood school fair, gave her prize winning oration on the "History of Dufferin County." Mr. W. C. Spett- igue, of Toronto, showed the gather- ing what is available in the field of visual education. H. J. Vallentyne, B.A., of Toronto, then addressed the teachers on "The New Education.' He believed that the child should be the centre of education and not the curriculum. Children should be al- lowed to develop largely by meir own efforts, too much teaching crushes orig"inality in the pupil. Many sampl- es of work completed by pupils using this method were closely examined by the teachers at the close of the address. Mr. Marshall in his closing remarks presented a medal to Ruth Kennedy, of Connaught school, for attaining the highest standing in the 1933 high school entrance examinations. Community singing throughout the program provided pleasant relaxation. Miss Martin, as president, succeeded in arousing considerable discussion and presided in an able manner. Thanks were expressed to all the artists taking part and to Mrs. 0. J Silverthorne, A.T.CVM., who kindly accompanied the singing during the devotional periods. The officers for the ensuing yeai are: Honorary pr.>sident, W. A. Mat. shall. B.A., B. Paed; president, A. | Harvey, Collingwood; vice-president, Andrew R. Kidd, Everett; sec.-treas., R. H.

Soutb-Grey Teachers Convene At Ayton The fifty-sixth annual meet,;ng ot .South Grey Teachers' Institute was held in Ayton put)lic school on Thurs- day and Friday, October 12 and 13 with an almost perfect attendance ot teachers under the supervision of Inspector Robert Wright, B.A., Han- over. After devotional exercises conduct- ed by resident clergymen, addresses of welcome and general business, the long and interesting program was seriously begun with an inspiring ad- dress by the president, Mr. A. C Collins, Ayton, in which he made mention of many sign-posts in "The Trend of Modern Education," point- ing to a wonderful future for our country. Inspector Wright then drew attention to many new matters of imporance, chief of which was the questionnaire submitted by the Teachei's' Federation ;.. i".:-i survey they have undertaken. Mter a fine luncheon at St. John's Lutheran church, "The New Primei and How to Teach It" was the topic of a discussion led by Mrs. Frost and Miss Muter of Hanover public .school, showing the ad\'antages of this boo!, over its predecessors. This was sup- plemented with some excellent ideas from Miss Brouii of Dundalk. Mr. J. A. Graham of Durham, a teacher of long standing and- known ability, held the interest of all in an e.\:planation of the origin of names, having special reference to the New World and particularly Canada and the United States. Most of these names are living memorials to histor- ical facts. Mr. Messenger of Markdale gave a very clear, comprehensive and concise outline of the new agricultural re- quirements and grants. This was followed by some suggestions by Mr. Shackleton of Priceville on the teach- ing of the new agricultural course, advocating above all the use of con- crete material at the proper seasons. Mter the opening exercises on Fri- day morning, Mr. Wm. McDonald, the genial editor from Chesley, offered those present some encouragement and cheer towards carrying on in "these trying times." Miss Clara Campbell of Bentinck then gave some practical hints on "Public Speaking at School Fairs" and was supported in most of her sugges- tions by Miss Irene Curtis. "Teaching the Verbals," was then fully dealt with by Messrs. Magee ot Hanover and Chappie of Flesherton showing methods that have proven practicable and in line with education- al principles. Miss Vesta Hibbert of Proton and Miss Beulah Klages of Normanby of- fered the primary teachers many use- ful devices and much sane advice in "The Teaching of Phonics in a Rural School." The secondary schools were well and ably represented by Messrs. Club- ine of Dundalk and Hamilton of Han- over. The former illustrated by ref- erence to the courses in art for pub- lic and high schools, and by samples of work done by pupils, the very close correlation of art in these schools showing that it is all one subject, a unit begun in the public school and continued in the high school. Mr. Hamilton urged the teachers to be zealous in the development of the British spirit and consciousness in their pupils as the best remedy for present social unrest and as a guard against certain troubles that might come in the future. Miss Ruth Dingwall of Egremont gave proof of the practical and ethi- cal possibilities of "Manual Training in a Rural .School." "Backward, Brilliant and Handicapped Children,'- was the subject of a learned discourse by Mr. Ruttle of Dundalk. He en- tered an earnest plea for the sympa- thetic and intelligent handlinif of theso types of pupils, and gave many valu- able hints as to -special methods re- quired. The convention was brought to a close by Mr. Shackleton in a practi- cal, comprehensive and entertaining talk on "School Discipline," which should be an inspiration and source of encouragement to all who heard him. The officers for the ensuing yeai are: honorary president, Inspectoi Robert Wright; president, Mr. W. J, Messenger, Markdale; Vice-president Miss D. Fisher, Ceylon; secretary- treasurer, Mr. J. A. Magee, Hanover; delegates to O.E.A., Messrs. Collins of Ayton and the secretary; auditors, .Mr. J. .-V. Graham of Durham and Miss I. Curtis, Elmwood R.R. 4; resolu- tions committee, Messrs. Ruttle Shackleton, O'Connor, Dingwall Misses F. McDonald, R. Wright, H. Beaton. Markdale will be the next place ol meeting.
