DAoj *Z ' tonergarten Class Traught by Mrs. Wight - nspiring Sight j- Pre-*School Kindergarten Launches Academic Careers Twenty happy, five-year-old children in Bowman.ville are on the roll at the Kindergarten clas- ses conducted by Mrs. Charles Wight in Trînity United Church Sunday Scbool room. A variety of studies, interesting to this age group, is taught from 9 to 11:30 eacb morning wbich might be classed as circular or rotating. The seasons of the year are ex- piained 'by the different charac- terestics pertaining to tbem. At present the autumn season is made interesting by various colored leaves, stories of squirrels and other animais storing food and preparing for winter. Domestic animaIs are portray- ed by pictures and rhythm and poems that harmonize. The significance of eacb public holiday is explained by an appro- priate story for the day. Some general studies are included as the nameý of our Provinces, our Flag, a few letters and words and numbers up to 50. Folk dancing is taught 'by Mrs. Wight and Miss Phyllis Chals, A.T.C.M., is present twice a week to teacb nursery songs. Drawing and band'iwork are made interesting by the drawing and making o! pumpkins for Hal- lowe'en, bearts for St. Valentine's Day and special motives for each day as tbey are needed. It is amazing the amount of information whicb is imparted to these youtbful students and the fine training whicb they are re- ceiving, ahl of which will be very beneficial wben they enter public scbool next year. Names of cbildren attending kindergarten include: Brian Bar- rabaîl, Dianne Brougbton, Sheila Brown, Linda Colwell, Ann Ew- ers, Don Hackney, Don Hay, Rich- ard Hayes, Mary Laskaris, Brian Martyn, Timotby Miller, Mary Mitchell, Brenda Oke, Donald Oke, David Parker, Carol Plum- mer, Wayne Purdy, Joan Sleep, Billie Tomlinson, Joan Turner. There is no 50 per cent honesty. Like falling out of a window, you eitber faîl or you don't. Totalitarianism steps in when more and more people take less gXid less responsîbility for theirj ! duntry.

Southwestern ONTARIO accommodates nearly haîf of Canada's furniture manufacturing establishments, and the industry may well be said to centre there. As with other industries, an impressive share of thse provinoe's furniture-making facilities were turnçed from their ntormal task during the war, but the woodworking plant is one of the most readily convertible and its future one of the most assurd... with <iegreatest demand in history, botis for thse new homes of Canada's prosperity and the immeasurable replacements required abroad.

Principal A. M. Tbompson left no stone unturned to demonstrate the scbool's program of learning in several forms, and on behaif of this association read its 'Creed' to emphasize its principles and ideals, and asked as individuals are we satisfied that these objects are being attained? He thanked this association for its support in their endeavor to live in a dem- ocracy and through this co-opera- tion and assistance the teaching .sta.ff can. attain the goal tbey feel is the desire of the parents for their children. Miss Joblin's room, under ber direction gave a very interesting and, enjoyable demonstration of the work of the new rhythm band and presented "The Big Fat Pumpkin and tbe Painted Bus." Mr. Alex McGregor, chairman Board of Education spoke on the work of the board and tbe re- quisite for a good primary educa-7 tion: (1) Good scboohs witb steady programs of improvements, and classes of the proper size; (2) Good teachers with an adequate salary scbedule to attract the best, as replacements become neces- sary to replace the splendid staff we now have in our public scbool; (3) Good pupils were es.sential, not clever, not always the best, but with open mind, attentiveand respectful and liking school and teacher, and ahways trying bard. He thanked tbe H. and S. Associ- ation for its gift of $200 to the scbool board with whicb to buy musical instruments for Rhythm Band and records for phonograpb. The parents. bave a big job here, to teach the finest respect and love for their teachers.. The benefit of music tbrough the pbonograph, the gift of Mrs. J. H. H. Jury, was demonstrated by a group of girls in the senior grades, with musical exercises, cfrills and folk dances "Csebogar,' 'The Crested Hen' and Polhy Wol- ly Doodle.' Their instructor was Miss Marjorie Couch, who bas ad- ded to ber duties the physical training and games oi these girls. zhe is doing 4n excellent work as seen by the girls in action. Master Douglas Hyland, win- ner of the school oratorical con- test, spoke to the gathering on "Ottawa," outlining bis visit there and to the Parhiament buldings and humorously outlined the ses- sion be attencled. The principal spoke on the large attendance at all classes, average 45 per room (the standard. set is fôr 30 pupils per moom). Absen- tees were only 5 to 10 per cent. Every pupil absent fmom scbool, no matter wbat the cause, must bring a note signed by parent or guardian stating cause of absence. Any absence other than illness iS, unlawful and parents are guilty of parental neglect who keep or allow a cbild to remain away from school for any other cause. This is the law o! tbe DePýartment of Education for Ontario and ail schools are mequired to abîde by it. The course of studies is set by the Dept. o! Education. Eight yeams is tbe average taken by a pupil to complete the course for public scbool most satisfactorily. T"he classroms, tbe womk of pupils and teachers are under the super- vision o! the Inspector of Public Schools, Mr. T. R. MeEwen. When a cbild is sent home from ;chool, it is done by the principal on the ad-vice o! the Health Unit Nuarse. Mm. Thompson's message to par- t Ha & sa club e Attendance ai i"s Speaker e Wbat is the Most important agency of the three, asked the Principal, and answered, "The Home." It teaches what matters fmost, not intelligence but habits, those tbings wbich build a good tcitizen or bad, good habits or Principal A. M. Thompson bad, pleasing manners or dis- agreeable. At home the chihd heamns to be pheasant and agree- able or cantankerous and surly; to be selfish or charitable; to be neat and dlean or dirty and un- tidy; to be pure and upright and honest or dishonest. Here, at home are formed the foundations on which the pupil's future bap- piness depends. Here is formed habits wbich it wihh take years to erase or which wihh make a suc- cess or failure of bis efforts in public school, in university or in bis aduit ife. The scbooh, church, and other organizations are bas- icalhy to assist the parents, bis chief teacher. In recent years an increasing tendency to shift responsibility o! education to agencies other than tbe home is growing more apparent. Laxities of parents to assume their rigbtfuh responsi- bility is part o! the reason, and the utter lack of knowhedge on how to proceed. Teachers are trained to cdu- cate chihdrcn, but intercsted par- ents can get a weahth of material from bookhets. Psychiatrists bave wmitten volumes on human be- havior, on how to treat nervous chihdren as well as'stu'bbomn and disobedient ones. Children are mirrors o! ourselves and misde- meanors are o! our making. The Home and Scbool Library under the capable bands of Miss M. Coucb bas many good books on the training and came of chihd- ren and adolescents. Knowledge is "caught" not "taugbt." This is the chief me- thod of instruction in the home. Your child refiects your'self. He copies youm religion, entertain- ment, education and he accepts your opinions, teachers, neigh- bors, friends, your honesty and cheanlincss and industmy. We are an open book to our cbildmen. No- tbing can emain bidden from them. How does your book read? It is not the intelligence of a child that matters so much, as bis habits, those things wbicb build good character and a xýea1 citi- zen. Mms. S. Grant movcd the thanks o! ahi present to Mr. Tbompson and bis staff for the splendid pro- gram and -their untiming co-oper- ation with the association, and bis assistance and sympathetic coun- sel to ail parents and pupils o! bis schools. The president pressed the need o! supporting the Theatre Night, Dec. 2, 3 and 4 wben the "Enchant- ed Forest" will be presented by the management of the Royal Theatre on our behaif. This association is to' be host to Ontario Panorama on Dec. 20. It was voted, to donate the prize of $50.00 to the Recreational Council o! the town. It was decideci to count two points for each father represent- ing bis cbild at the next two meetings. Mothers stili count one. Corne on fathers and raise that count in your child's class. Miss Joblîn's class won the par- ents' attendance prize for No- vember with a count of 24. AIl memnbers are requested to support the sale of tickets for our theatre nigbt. Next meeting to be in the High Scbool auditorium, Dec. il. ]HEALTH AND BEAUTY Beauty bints by experts are al- most invariably heaîtb bints, too, says an Ottawa statement fmom the Department o! National Healtb and Welfare. 'For beauty, such matters as exercise, cleanli- ness, correct posture, adequate sleep and care of the person are recommended. Ah these are es- sential, too, to physical fitness. The Department suggests to the ladies that they keep fit, and there- by beautiful, by getting out as much as possible, and observîng the other healtb rules. safeguard your bealth." M Temperance Workers Plan Red-Letter Day Wednesday, Nov. 27, promises to be a red-letter day in the his- tory of temperance work in Dur- ham. Afternoon and evening ses- sions of a County Conventioift will be.beld in Trînity United Cburch, Bowmanville. Interesting panel discussions, addresses by an. out- standing temperance leader, Mr. R. F. Moulton, publîc-speaking contest by local young people will be an interesting feature of the session. The supper hour at Car- ter's Restaurant will be a time of fine fellowship. Drug Store Window Display Features Long Slcirt Era Many old-timers, and new-tim- ers for that matter, have been ob- served admiring the window dis- play featured this week by Jury and Lovell's Drug Store. It harks back to the days when drug stores were pharmacies or apothecary shops. Assembled in the window are an old-style mortar and pestie, a powder measure, a cork shaper and a penny-weight scale or a bal- ance as it used to be called. And central among these is an an- aient prescription book dated Nov. 1899, duly numbered, plain- ly setting forth names of people and the ingredients used to fil doctors' prescriptions. Packaged drugs of this Victor- ian age form an interesting bor- der. These include quinine, sul- phur, senna leaves, capsicum pods, potassium permanganate, sodium bicarbonate and salicylate, bro- mides, icthyol, asafoetida and wbat bave you. Ointments, triple- strength medicine, foot elm and herbai concoctions were the or- der of the day. Tbey recail the campbor bags hung about child- ren's necks and the old standby, suiphur and molasses. One prescription noted was an oinitment made of ictbyol and vas- eline, witb the notation «"apply over the something as directed." Many tbougbts were directed back to the good old days when long skirts were the vogue, rats adorned bair-dos and hitching- posts fronted town stores. Absent from the display were the modemn aids to beauty, lip-' stick, depilatories, sun-tan lotions and tbe what-nots desired to car- ry out the slogan of the Mounties. But the galse-the- nineties 'got their man" just the same. The display was backed with an artistic card: "The physician and the pbarmacist, working together, The Fruits of a Douutiful SUMMER GARDEN caught in the first moments of freshness, frozen fast to hold for you that incomparable flavour you enjoy so much when you pick some lusojous fruit.
