As a matter cf record and general interest we republish herewitb the list as it applies to Bowmai;ville sud the smaller cen- tres of West Durham. Not found iu Uie book were the villages cf Courtice, Salins, Pou- t"~ool and others where smal business was carried on extensive- ly including many mills along lo- cal streams. The Oshawa Eist was quite extensive sud is net lnclud- cd here in the holle that it may be passed on for publication by the Oshawa Times-Gazette. In the Toronto section there Is ne mention of Eatons, but a Jos-, eph Simpson, "wooiens" is listed with a good credit ratiug, possibly the forerunner cf to-day's Simp- sons. Credit Reterence The bock was published by Dun, Wiman Ce. for financial houses as a refereuce in credit rating. Our copy was issued te D. Fisher, Ontario Bank, with his name lettered iu gold on the cover. Credit columns opposite names show the amounts invested in per- sonai business sud promptness lu paying accounts.

The Ontario rural school teaeh- er, bissa ber, ia certalnly under- paid iu comparison with her re-, sponsibilities. Since rural areas are tAse seed-bed cf the nation the duties cf the rural teacher are just that much more important. Farm Forum reporta say ber in- fluence is feit for at lcast two generations, theretore her salary should be much higher than that cf a city stenographer sud the teacher lu a one-rcomed school in town. The majority agreed that the rural minister aud the agricul- turai representative should have more monèy since, at the moment, they require greater education. It was pointed out however that ln order ta do the job we expect oyJr teacher te do their education and remuneration shouid be equai. The extra money necessary for a higher standard of rural educa- tion, should corne from Gcvern- ment grants so ail would share equally. Several pointed eut tax- es should be shared by non-land and property owhers alike. Gov- erument bas a responsibility as well snd should coutribute its rightful part. Apart trom becoming better qualified to teach, over 200 for- ums feit the teacher should try and do a few extras. Shannon- ville' in Hastings said "The rural teacher shouid consider school and pupils ber first responsibility and then participate in community af- fairs to the extent that it does net interfere with her duties as a tea- cher."
