*~ ~~ M "IXRDYTE 4tIs, 1958 A cýuple o! weeks ago, xny ýîwlfe was ambling along King -Street, Bowmanville, when she picked up a wallet from the sidewalk, containing money, but no identification, which she placed in the custody of The Statesman in the hope the own- er would appear, ta place an ad. That is just what transpined. The ownor walked into The Statesman office ta place an ad, and walked aut with hor purse; thon sent Mns. Youngman a lot- ter o! appreciation, enclosing a dollar reward, which we think was very generous considering the punse only contained bo- twecn four and five dollars. But Butch didn't feel -like accepting pay for having done hon plain duty; yet didn't wish ta hurt thie othen lady's feelings by ro- fusing. Sa she dropped Mns. Du- mas a lUne, thanking her for her appreciative generosity, and in- fonmlng hon she was forwarding the dollar ta the "Manch af Dirnes". This little story helps ta renew a person's faith in hu- mian nature. I've aiton wondered what wouid happen if a persan wrotet a letter to a lady, and one toa a gent, and put them in the wrong1 envelopms. Well sir, I'm happy ta an-t announce that an Inspector ofc Public School (Allan Martin,r Port Credit) made that verye faux pas two weoks ago, whenv ho sent me a lettor meant fore Miss Helen Spicer, at the Dur-I MIn. u',. iony osre r, ias ter, or other tragedies know an first band haw vitally essengiI Red Crass services are sô our na- tion.

When Allan reads this, will his face be red. Cornprizing part of the Dur- ham County Forcst is a tract ai white and red pines, planted in alternate nows twenty-five yoar ago. on what was once tilled fields, the knolls gnavelly, the levol portion sandy. During a pulp cutting (thin- ning) project in this tract dur- ing October, 1954, we discover- cd a l'ight gang," two iurrow- ed, ai steel, rnauld board plow, abandoned by its aperator many years aga, in an aid fonce raw, the right hand wheel missing. During the late 1800s and the eariy 1900s, this type of plow was much favoured by sorne farmers cf this locaiity, who used it ta skimi the a!ter bar- vest stubble about two or three inches In depth, In the hope that the rains would stant the weed seeds growing. which coul.d be kiiled by a second plowing be- fore freeze up. Where canried1 ta excess on the vcry iight soi] of the Pontypool district, this policy proved disastrous, be- cause it often ailowed the strong winds ta blow away the loosen- ed, organic laden top soil-the farmers' most valuable asset.

It is known as the Seim- ester system, and recently it bas been adoptod by some schools in the Province of Alberta. In short, this new system means more concentration on a subject in a shorter period, with final examinations at the end af each Semesten. The effect on, and help imparted ta, a student in the elimination ai a long list ai subjects ho must write at the end oi the schaol year is obviaus. This new .venture in the an- ganization ai the subjects in the Ontario High School Curricu- lum will receive its first test in Ontario at the Ontario La- dies' College, Whitby, -in Sep- tember af this year, accarding ta an announcement by Rev. Stanley L. Osborne, Principal. The Semester system has been iised for 4 years in Alberta and in soveral States in the U.S.A., riotably in California, with ex- ceptianal succoss. The necessity of carnying ail subjects for anc year and ai dividing the time for study into six or more parts is obviated. The student wil] concentrate an thnee subjects for half the length ai timo and wvill be able ta do better wark. Furthormore, the tension ;ometimes found at the end ai ho yean when a student is fac- ing a final examination in ail subjects is overcome. If a stu- lent should fail in an oxamîn- tian, under the Semester plan it would not be necessany ta ne- peat an entire year but only one Semester. At the Ontario Ladies' Col- lege six major subjects -Eng-1 ish, Social Studies, and four options-will be placod on the Semester basis and appl ta Grades IX, X, XI, and XII. A1 student wiil take three of the najor subi ects for the first Semester and the romaining tree subi ects for the second emester, with final examina- aons wnitten at the end ai each emester. The plan at the Ontario La- les' College is being undertak- m with the full knowledge and ntenest ai the Department of 'ducation. pecial Speaker :or World Day )f Prayer Friday Mrs. Commissioner F.

Yet the rate ai spend- ing an new schools in the noxt ton years wiil be approximately four times that ai the record peak of $153,000,000 in 1954, if building accommodation is ta keep up with pupil enroiment. In 1946 Canada had about 2,- 100,000 chiidren fnam 5-14 years ai age and about 1,000,000 teen- agers fnom 15-19 years ai age. It is estimated that by 1961 theso figures wiii risc ta 3,800,000 from 5-14 years oi age and 1,- 440,000 irom 15-19 years ai age. In a decade beyond that the f ig- unes could roach the startling totals ai 4,500,000 from 5-14 years ai age and aven 2,000,000 fnom 15-19 years o! age. It is nat just a matten o! in- croasing rates of births and immigration but. also the fact that more children stay more years at school. Al ai this may pose some pnobiems in finance but it is a sign of the healthy growth and development of aur nation and a boon ta the building trades, construction finms and manu- facturors ai building supplies.
