THURSDAY, APRIL 2OTH, 1939 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARTO PAGE FIVE Observations Gleaned From OLEA Co' ention By Durham Club Pres. By Dr. L. B. Willams, Presîdent Durham County Club of Toronto It was my privilegze ta attend the' finals in the public schools oratorical contest in Convocation Hall, Toronto, sponsored by the Trustees and Rate- payers' Division of the O.E.A. Con- vention. Since everybody, pupils. parents and teachers of Durham County have manifested such interest in this province-wide educational f cature. 1 thought Statesman readers migbt be interested in a little miscellaneojs comment. There were twelve judges of thse six contestants (ail girls) on the subject "The Kind of a Scisool I Would Like My School To Be." In my opinion, two phases vir- tually macle decision: Ist - The speaker's personality. 2nd - The character of the sub- iect matter. The phraseology and general recit- atian were unîformly excellent and none of vou have beard either in delivery or substance as fine an address in a long time as every anc of these cbarming little Canadian girls graced the rostrum of spaciaus Convocation Hall in the wide em- brace of Canadian idealism in edu- cation and citizensbip of their sub- ject. The winner, little Miss Susan Jar- relI of Spencerville, near Ottawa. in, ber 'cbarming smile and suiting ex- pression ta the tbought. bgr poise, cultured gesture, cleat enuniciation of lofty sentiment and adieu was beyond anvtbingr I have ever been favored witb. Her courtesy on Con- clusion is meant for kings. Smallest of them ail, aur awn lit- tIc Miss Margaret Bennett of Port Hope, pupil of Miss Smith, was just as nonchalant, as when she won the Toronto Durham Club's shield, neyer besitated and was a real appeal ta the audience, but thse heaviness of the subi ect did not suit ber tender years as well as ber former subi ect "What Is Your Pet Phobia ?" Peculiarly. these two little girls looked enougis alike to he sisters,. and similarly sa in platform appeal if judged. from Margaret's former ad- dress. Margaret's prize was Tise Canad- ian Educator in 3 vols. Durham County and Toronto Durham Club may be very proud of these gems of oratory fora Port Hope: Doris Inch, Margaret Bennett and Barbara Tickell. Should there be a specified sub- iect in this f inalist address? I thought I saw disadvantages at Orono County Contest wben several through suggestion of subjects. chose "«Our Flag." Often 1 think sources of material are common toalal and this added to the repetition of suc- cessive speakers. Finally savors ai monotony ta the audience and judges. No doubt cbildren dif fer in tastes and suitability. ta subi ects. The old Indian said - "If everybady think same like me., tje ail want ta marry my squaw."le The addresses signified a general grouping of requirements, for the ideal school in curricula, 'enviran- ment. means of approacb and above aIl the broad foundations of future tcitizenship. The individual variation was in the aspects emphasized. Granting ithat others created the substance of ;address. it would seem to me that iwith one specific subject, the con- test might savor of debate de luxe, with others not tbe contestants shar- ing thse judges' decisions. MY readers wilI agree witb me tthat it is evident today that the poor- er and more bankrupt tise world gets and we get, the more we want and t~u bL.-~am hs SPECIALI AUSTRALIAN SULTANA RAISINSm SPECIAL!

What those addresses. sponsored no doubt bv teachers. called for as ideal standard scbooi equipment, is the handwritinR on the wall and will f ill the book.

On the agenda are consolidated schools of necessity, central room broadcastinR for aIl your imagin- ation tôys witb, swimming pools, a little lake in the setting, of spgcious parks. playing f ields, f lower gardens, no more pump handles or box stoves or doubtful dlean bands.

Yes. and diet kitchen, music and more music and if 1 keep on enum- eratiiz there won't be room to state that thev did mention that the "three R's" would only be curtailed, not eliminated. It's gainir ta cost more than the 'little red school bouse" of fond memory to you and I. It looks as though the schools as well as the children are going ta get vitamn"ins. What is the interpretation of no boys in the f inalists? Is Durham County's Raymond Gilmer. f rom Crooked Creek. last year's winner, the last of the Romans? Our Sir Wilfred Laurier of the future ta be Susan Jarrell of Spencerville, and Hon. R. B.' Bennett ta be Margaret Bennett of Port Hope, in our halls of oratory? Not a lawyer with nerve« enough to mount the political plat-1 form ? Well. we men have made a sorry mess of it aIl. - Best wishes ta the ladies. While Mr. H. Hobbs f rom North-1 umberland County, reviewed the judges' sheets, the question of estab-i lishing a minimum teacher's salaryi evoked a motion for $700 while amendmrent suggested $800. (Either one is over double my stipend as a teacher and tIhe trustees hoped my ability wauld measure up to their generosity). Others thought it ill- advised ta throw thse profession into the labor market and the question was dropped after having suggested what was thought reasonable as a basis, with further appreci4tion of evident ability. A splendid burst of applause greet- ed anc trustee's remark, that the school teacher, apart f rom school work. was in Christian and social service the most valuable person of the community. ranking ahead of either the clergy or the doctor. This was a great deserving tribute f rom a cross-section of the Trustees' Pro- vincial organizatian. SIt was vointed out that just as in business. continuity of a teacher's services if efficient, was desirable and only fair remuneratian could maintain it. It was incumbent upon the individual bath young and aIder ta encourage, befriend and swear by the teacher in their midst. Convocation Hall was neyer f illed with a better leven of the best of Ontario citizenship and national sta- bility - the ordinary, humble, eýLrn- est, dependable voter - the man who alwavs earns more than he Rets - the Trustees' sçction.af the O.E.A. As variaus ones rase to express opinion, here and there. it was sadly evident that their early educational opportunties bad been curtailed but the tenor of the voice and the essence of the thought bore the stamp of in- tegrity and high thinking.

CENTRAL ONTARIO LEAGUE DISBANDS AFTER 19 YEARSs Jake Solomen of Peterboro, On- ganizes League In 1919 - Cir- cuit Usei To Include Bowmanvile With tise admission cf tise Petes into T. A. B. A. comnpetition Uis year, tise 19-year-old central On- tario Basebail League is disband- ed. Organized in 1919 by Jake Solomon of Peterbora, Use circuit in various seamons included teains from Bowmanville, Port Hope, Cobourg, Lindsay, Kingston, Belle- ville, Napanee, Oshsawa, Leaside and Peterboro.

Oshsawa will not have a club tisis year. Officials feel that tise break-up of one of tise strongest senior amateur circuits in tise province was due mainly to two things, tise negleet to sponsor minor clubs in the centres concerned, and Use moving forward of tise O.B.A. residence date. This latter largely contributed to tise downfall of lakeshore clubs - who could not import players so early - and caused Usem to drop back to in- termediate company.
