S*he first paragraph of the editorial is: HIGja-SCHOOL NOTES "The newspaper advertising manage* who does not read the leading article in this issue is hot doing justice to himself, his publication or his advertisers, and will miss many a good point. I do not know much about Saskatchewan, but I do know that it has at least one advertising manager manager who is on the job, and M. J. Hutchinson's Hutchinson's article on "Service to the Advertiser Before and After" comes very close to putting into a nutshell the whole secret of the success or failure of newspaper advertising. advertising. As I have said many a time before, before, no matter what the newspaper thinks it is selling the advertiser--white, space, circulation or prestige--what the advertiser advertiser wants, and all he wants, is sales. That means service." £6.00 7.50 9.00 All Ladies Suits at Greatly Reduced Prices Couch, Johnston & Cryderman B Ü WMANYILL.E Phone 104 Col. thé Hon. Sam Hughes, Minister of Militia and Defence, has been placed on the defensive by The Daily Telegraph of Montreal which papei charges that he paid $180,000 of the people's money to one William T. Rodden for 150 acres of vacant land miles from Montreal post office, being, $1,200 an acre- The Telegraph Telegraph states that Rodden cleaned up exactly exactly .$95,004 on the deal and says the Hon. Sam is likely to be asked some pertinent pertinent questions as to why he permitted such a profit in such a.short time, as he had only bought it a short time before. It is suggested that the land is for a rifle range. Between rifle ranges and armouries armouries the expenditure of the people's money seems to flow like water. And what is the benefit of all this expenditure ? If all this money wère spent in educating the youth of Canada in practical things to fit them for life's duties how much more sensible sensible it would be ! The Colonel says in reply that the site is for an officers' training training school and not for a shooting ground. Then there will be the cost of the buildings buildings and fittin 4 the grounds, possibly another another $100,000, and for what good ?

"A many sided man" may ^fittingly be applied to Mr. John Elliott, B.A., who has resigned as Principal of Bowmanville High School to accept a mathematical mastership in a Collegiate Institute in the city of London at. a higher salary. Our high school has maintained an excellent •landing under Mr. Elliott's presidency dthe results of this year's Departmental exlhwations are exceedingly gratifying to all concerned, so that he retires with the school at High-tide of popularity and success after filling most acceptably the Principalship for sevenyears. Outside of his primal duties as teacher Mr. Elliott has been an active and ; useful citizen and worker in church, Sunday School and other spheres of usefulness. As he said himself the other evening in the Official Board session, the chief part of - his life outside of his vocation is his. church life, and .that he has always enjoyed. He has been a very -helpful church official and a more than ordinarily capable local preacher.v. He has always been heard with pleasure. His life.has been also associated associated .with Sunday School work. Alter passing the scholar period he became teacher and has served as superintendent in Caledonia, Wall-st., Brockville, Leam ington and Bowmanville.. He filled many other important offices while here such as President of .the local branch of the Bible Society, Chairman of Public Library com mittee, Vice- President of Bowmanville Canadian Club since its formation, and has given his influence in support of every movement for moral reform and human betterment irr the community. He has also been honored on several occasions in educational circles. He has been President President of the Mathematical Section and also of the High School Principals'Section Principals'Section of. the Ontario Educational Association Association and has been elected President of the County Teachers' Association, in four different different counties including Durham. In fraternal and social circles he has ever been ready to help with speech or in other ways as opportunity has offered. It will be seen from the. foregoing outline of his activities that it is no idle phrase to say that in this town Mr. Elliott will be much missed.and his place will not be easily filled in the community. In speaking to a resolution of appreciation appreciation passed at the Official Quarterly Board on Friday evening Mr. Elliott said that only in one place had he lived longer than in Bowmanvillet Hi? çareey offers encôùragéihént to ÿôiiiig ffièn who hâve to make a living for themselves. He was born of humble -parentage in Huron county near Goderich. Wheii he was 13 his father died and he struck out for him-r self by learning a trade- as shoemaker. Having a desire for more learning he quit the bench to attend the nearby pubhc school. By diligent study and working among farmers he managed to continue at school till he obtained a teacher's certificate. certificate. Then he taught a public school for five: years, studying all the time, and later attended High school in Goderich and passed the usual examinations and later qualified as principal with specialist standing in Mathematics and English; He taught for a short time in Caledonia High School, then for 3)^ years in Brockville when he was appointed mathematical and science master in Walkerfon High school and when Leamington built a new High school Mr. Elliott was appointed the first Principal, and after ten years of successful; successful; service he came as Principal Jo Bowmanville Bowmanville seven- years ago. He leaves here of his own accord to take a ci*y position position which he is well qu ihfisd to fill. /King George And Queen Mary were very good to be in Liverpool to greet the Bowmanville citizens.who arrived there on Friday July 11--Mr. D. B. Simpson, K.C., Mrs; Simpson, Miss Molly Simpson, Miss Lillie Hathway and Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. G. Fletcher. Writing from Old Hall Lodge, Broughton Broughton Park, Manchester, Lancashire, England, England, on July 29, Mr. Fletcher states that they arrived at their destination on the nth inst. It was a very large passenger list in saloons and third class. The scenery scenery from Montreal to the ocean was almost almost worth the cost ot the trip. He says they had a very good voyage and was exceedingly well pleased with the S. S. "Victorian" of the Allan Line, the staterooms staterooms were airy and roomy and the stewards were very, kind and attentive. He praises all the ship's officers for being attentive to duty and passengers were sociable, altogether making the trip most interesting and pleasant. -No one need dread a voyage across the Atlantic under such favorable conditions. Old Ocean behaved splendidly all the way over but fog marred the pleasure on deck some days when -crossing the banks of Newfoundland Newfoundland and. thé Gulf stream, but with shuffle board and other pastimes the days were spent and not many were confined to their berths; The dining saloon service service was excellent, and the table stewards were kindness itself--nothing seemed to be too much for them to do. The passengers passengers were really sorry when the port was reached and the happy company had to separate, mat.y never to mèét again. Mr. Fletcher is delighted with the kindness kindness and pleasant manners of English people and with the loveliness of the scenery and the pleasant outings they have had since arrival at Manchester, thei r headquarters. He says they were fortunate in seeing King George and Queen Mary in Liverpool on the day they landed there. Great-crowds thronged the principal streets to catch* a sight of their Majesties. He says , they spent the previous previous week to the date of his letter '"seeing '"seeing the. sights of Ireland" and the Emerald Isle has very many interesting sights for a Canadian. The first week of August they expected to spend in Old London. The Statesman arrives regularly and it is a real "letter from home." We are glad that Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher had such good travelling companions as Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Utley of Toronto, with whose relative, Mrs. W: Beswickand other friends from whom they have ; rç-, ceived such a côfulâl WileêMêMà libérât hospitality at Manchèster.

"In the experience of this .section" he said, explaining the difficulties difficulties that confronted his district, "the cost x>f the pupils' tuition was almost doubled before the child was taught at all." This was because of the price paid Referring to some comments in The Editors'Talks about plucki g promotion and entrance candidates because of failure in spelling, as some children are by nature good spellers and some are not, the Belleville Belleville Daily Ontario in a very excellent criticism says in part: Mr. James in this brief paragraph touches upon a weàkness of our whole system of uniform promotion promotion examinations. In our anxiety to turn out from our schools a lot of graduates graduates all cast in the one mould we have entirely disregarded the plain teachings of child psychology and of nature in general. general. The uniform examination is about as stupid and clumsy 1 and unnatural a device as has ever been foisted upon. a long-suffering public.
