McGirr, who passed away Octobei 25th, 1928. One by one we cross the river. One by one we're passing o'er: One by one the crowns are given, On the bright and happy shore. Youth and childhood oft are passing O'er the dark and rolling tide; And the blessed Holy spirit Is the dying Christian's guide. One by one the heavy-laden Sink beneath the noontide sun; And the aged pilgrim welcomes Evening shadows as they come. One by one with sins forgiven, May we stand upon the shore. Waiting till the blessed spirit Takes our hand and guides us o'er. â€" Ever remembered by Wife and Daasbter.

A rate- payer is entitled to an answer to any question regarding school matters at the annual meeting of the ratepayers The secretary of a rural school is not required to read the minutes of the annual ratepayers' meeting. The secretary for the annual ratepayers meeting need not be the secretary ot the board of trustees. Question â€" Is it legal for a school board to engage a teacher without a standard certificate and carry on a school independent of the Depart- ment's regulations if they wish to do so without government assistance? Would they require a vote of the rate- payers to do so.? Answer. The Public School Act provides for penalties where boards 3f trustees do not conduct the school in accordance with the Schools \ct< und Regulations. Section 88 of the Public Schools .-Vet sets forth the duties and powers of trustees and the limitations set forth in this section would not permit a board of trustees to conduct a public school in any manner contrary to the Schools .A.cts. It would be contrary to the Schools .\cts and Regulations for a board ot trustees to engage a teacher without Provincial qualifications. The ratepayers would have no pow- er to direct a board other than as set forth in Schools .-Vets and Regulations. CEYLON in their tests on the J*uly-September course.

THURSTON A relief progn'am for Ontario to provide employment during the com- ing vdnter and amounting to $3,700,- 000 has been approved by the federal government, which will supply $600,- 000 of the total.

The fed- eral government in general offers to pay one-third of all labor costs on public works. A wild stallion was lassoed on the main thoroughfare at Goderich, after running amok and creating lots of ex- citement and trouble. The horse had broken away from his stable without a halter and wandered up town. He ran hither and thither with traffic on a one-way street and finally took to the sidewalk, scattering pedestrians. Finally he ran down an alleyway. At every approach he struck out with his front feet, but a lasso, expertly thrown, proved effective. Five hund- red people watched the fun. Mrs. Geo. Littlejohns is visiting with friends in Toronto. Mr. Robt. Canning of Brantford visited the past week with his cousin, Mrs. T. R. Lever. Visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Albert Stewart on Sunday were: Mrs. Sam Osborne of Ravenna, Mr. and Mrs. Wim. Lyons and family of Swinton Park and Mr. McEachnie of Hope- ville. Mrs. Thos.

A kick from a mule killed a man in Texas. We have heard of "white mule" peddled by bootleggers which was said to be equally powerful. ;aretaker of th^ school? Answer â€" The School .A.ct does rot explicitly state that the teachei may not be engaged as caretaker The duties with respect to caretakers as set forth in the regulations, cannot be properly carried out where the teacher is a caretaker. It is not in the best interests of the school that a teacher be also a caretaker. Questiori â€" Could the wife of a ratepayer whose taxes for school pur- poses are overdue or unpaid be elig- ible to be a trustee? .â- Vnswer â€" Under subsection (3) (b) of Section 62 of the Public Schools Act, "a husband, wife, son or daugh- ter of a farmer assessed as the own- er of a farm, if resident on the farm with the assessed owner" may be eligible to become a trustee if the person is also a British subject and of the full age of 21 years. Foi the purposes of this subsection the term "farm" shall mean not less than 2 acres of land in actual occupation af the owner. The substance of the Act can -only be interpreted to moan that if the owner of the farm has not paid his taxes then the wife of the ovmei :ould not qualify as a trustee because her husband would not be fulfilling Che qualifications of a ratepayer as defined under the Act. Question â€" May the school board and teacher by mutual consent change the present contract recommended by the Department or form a new con- tract? .-Answer â€" The agreement form distributed by the Department jof Education is for the convenience of boards of trustees and teachers. Its use is not compulsory. Any other form of agreement may be used. It is quite in order, by mutual consent of trustees and teacher, to change the agreement or draw up a new a.gree- ment.
