ontario sear mr harrison during the past week i made my first inspection of the georgetown school and had the pleasure of meet- ins the teachers and pupils may i take this opportunity to present a very brief and general report cki this visit i attempted only to establish between us a relationship based on confidence and understand ing i confined my examination to such matters as are basically habit- farming the development of neatness and thrift through the care of books and writing and the ability to read with comprehension and thought the results of the wnmrwyntjnn were very gratifying indeed and very creditable to the teaching stag they are mak ing all of the written work a lesson in writing and the pupils exercises are carefully supervised the habits of neatness and economy thus incul cated should follow the children in later life it is noted that miss annie v ryan has been succeeded by mr h c wri w i am glad to find that he is trying to follow along the lines established by his predecessor his t is good and he does not appear to have any difficulty in man agement either of his own class or of the school as a whole x was particularly ptpf with the rapid pr which primary pupils have made i feel that the board has one of the strongest primary teachers in the inspectorate one might also comment individually the various other members of the staff but i shall confine my remarks to the statement that all are con scientious energetic and progre there are many evidences that the teachers have had the support of an interested school soard the build ing is in good repair clean freshly decorated and comfortable the lib rary is fairlywell stocked with books but the new course of study makes it desirable that a considerable number of volumes be added annually si here is no authorised text in many ubects teachers and pupils are fore- ed to spend too much time dictating and writing notes when proper books are not available on my visit i- had the pleasure meeting the secretary i trust that early in the new year i shall have an opportunity of meting the board in formally at one of their meetings yours sincerely l skuce erin agricultural society at the annual

the cost thus making possible a 40- 4020 division of the burden with municipalities paying the 20 per cent will be received with enthusiam- throughout the country and the agreement to look after transients on fiftyfifty basis with the provinces will be equally welcome there is also to be a cooperative plan by which the provinces will be able to secure federal funds in aid of muni cipal public improvements to which they too will contribute as the do minion and the province concerned will under this plan each pay 50 per cent of the labor costs the muni cipalities will have to meet only the cost of materials there arej certain conditions attached as to the amount of relief labor required in any munl- clpalityand oversight of the work by a joint committee but there is every indication that this relief work pro gram will be of substantial assistance in getting families off relief and in promoting needed projects there is also to be a youthtraining program for single unemployed persons and transients the announcement from ottawa is one which will bring joy to the muni cipal councils which are now strugg ling with their 1939 estimates and with its prospect of relief work will

until we had it explained to us the other day it sounded a bit aminous at first something like salting a gold mine a very crooked practice salt ing 0he sand piles is a quite proper and effective work done in connec tion with provincial highway main tenance during the severe winter months and it shows that there more to this job than any of us realise the highways in this section are new pretty well served by powerful ploughs that clear away the snow after every storm and are capable of piling it up in huge banks on either side of the pavement but that is only a part of the business of keep ing roads in condition for motor traf fic during our ontario winter men with snow shovels have to keep the intersection of every slderoad or con cession that reaches the highway open and that is quite a task on stretch of fifty or sixty miles then there is the sanding operations piles of sand are located in convenient places as the and is taken from the pits it is mixed with calcium chloride to keep it from freezing that however is not enough and af ter heavy frost the piles are salted about one hundred pounds of salt is put on the average pile as a further guarantee that the sand will spread when it is required on the ley pave- ments now you know what is im plied in the expression salting the sand piles f bast garefraxa tomablp b rem of ksmwmg wp should see the quints at the same
