Bowmanville School Board Considering Considering its Introduction. - This is the age of the practical and while some educationists are favoring the teaching of some subjects-called Naturel studies--flowers, plants, weeds, birds, insects, insects, etc., others would have what for a better name is called "frills" taught raffia work, drawing, .art, etc. Thèse are/all good in their time arid place but children cannot learn everything useful and helpful helpful in the ordinary school life so it seems fitting that the practical and utilitarian should.have prominence, especially in the education and training of boys. It is mot wise to attempt too much, for in sdme more essential subjects a thoro training is most desirable while the less important may be taught so as to give the scholar a. "smattering" of th im. After all is said and done it is not what can be crammed into a child's mind that educates for Edu* cation means "to draw out" or : "to lead' out." It is the development of the thinking thinking po wers and training to independence of thought and action that cou ts. Not how much a child knows exactly but how to use and turn to practical usé and application application what he knows is what counts in the battle of life. The mest successful teacher is, therefore, : the one who can develop in a child a love for digging and delving for information on its own account account and who leads it on to think and act and attempt tasks from a desire to.be independent. The failure made by too many teachers is that they try more to stuff their pupils full of information to nauseation rather than to. train their thinking faculties and create, in them a desire for more knowledge. Of course, the two processes must go on together, but The cramming without the development development of their brains will end in disappointment disappointment and failure. It was a desire to give Bowmanville boys a training in the practical things of life as well as the theoretical that prompted prompted members of the Public School Board to go to Toronto last Thursday to. visit the manual training schools of the city. The party comprised Dr. J. B. Hazlewood, Chairman, Mr. John Lyle, J.P., Secretary, Mr. J. S. Moorcraft, Town Treasurer and and member of the Board, and Principal R. D. Davidson; The editor of The James Papers was to have gone with them but thru absence from town missed connection for which he is very sorry as he is deeply interested in the introduction of manual training in the schools and has visited the best technical schools in Cleveland, New York, and one in England. - Mr. Rhys D.Fairbairn, Chairman of the Board of Education, a graduate of our Bowmanville schools and a" sincere friend of them, and Mr. R. H. Cowley, Chief Inspector Inspector of City schools, met the party at the City Hall and escorted them to Broadview Broadview School, where Mr. Wallace, the Principal, explained the manual training, domestic science and other outstanding features of the school. Principal Fraser's nexy school on Manning Avenue was next visited.. Here the manual training and domestic science classes are in a separate building, with Mr. Carpenter and Miss Williams in charge. The work of the term had hardly begun, but many excellent excellent samples of the pupils' work for the previous year, both in mechanical drawing drawing and ' woodwork, adorned the walls. Then the party went to the Technical School grounds, where the thet.\ d-million dollar artisan University of the city and the Province is beginning to take shape under direction of the contractors. When finished and fully equipped, these buildings will be a lasting monument, not only to those who originated the idea, but to those who furnish the means to make it possible. Mr. Fairbairn explained the plan of the buildings, the. scope of the work of the school and some of the diffi culties surmounted in getting such a gigantic undertaking at last in a fair way toward completion. After expressing its hearty thanks to all who had assited in making the visit pleasant and profitable, the party wended its several ways to a belated luncheon. In aiater issue will be given some idea of the work, the regulation of the Education Department in regard to Teachers' qualifications qualifications and grants and the cost of equipping equipping a room for the teaching of this subject subject in the Bowmanville Central where there is an unoccupied room.- SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS Oshâwa school trustees have set a worthy example to school boards in other towns by holding a social reception one evening to meet the new teachers and get acquainted all round. Mr. T. H. Everson was chairman and speeches were made by representative members of the board and teachers. Dr. D. S. Hoig gave a very interesting history of education in Osh- awà, Rev. B. Greatrix and Father Cline spoke from the clergymen's standpoint, Lawyer Swanson, Trustees Brown, Haw- kes, Mackie, H. T. Carswell, Principal J. H. Dolan of High School, and Supervisor Tice of Public Schools, gave their views, the latter giving what The Reformer calls the "meaty speech of the evening". Mr. P. H. Punshon recited and Mr. H. T. Carswell Carswell spoke arid sang. After the speechifying speechifying they all sat down in Tod's restaurant restaurant to light refreshments where a social hour, was enjoyed to the full. Several good things were said but the benefit will be greatest from the trustees and teachers teachers getting together and becoming acquainted. acquainted. Teachers had come, served the term and left the town without ever meeting members of the board. Our. town might very profitably „ follow Oshava's Oshava's example and the sooner the better, too. Trustees and teachers might meet once each term in a similar manner with benefit to both classes. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTOR I A B 0 SINESS CHANGE.

Dr. Faulkner had not taken ant holidays for the summer and was going to spend a couple of days in Toronto and then return for another short visit here before returning home. But his rest and recreation will be of a very different character from what he anticipated. He is a very busy man enjoying a large pr actice actice and is very popular in his county. He was the Liberal candidate in the Provincial election in West Hastings. The operation took place Tuesday forenoon and the worst fears of the diagnosis diagnosis was realized, t is. a very 'serious case, indeed. Everything possible is being being done. Miss Troxel, an excellent trained nurse, is in charge. Dr. George Faulkner, Stifling, father of the patient, is present in conference with Dr. Tilley and our latest information is that while the case is most critical, the symptoms are favorable. MR. CANN IN ENGLAND Mr. T. C. Jewell has kindly permitted us to read a letter written to him by Mr. William Canri of this town from Hols- wor'thy, Devonshire, where Mrs. Cann and Miss Cann and Miss Colville and he are travelling. They have seen much of "the stated homes of England" arid the lovely scenery, but the beauty and charm of Devonshire surpasses all else. They visited the home of his father at Tamer- ton Foliott or Crown Hill as it was th-n called. Mr. Cann says "We walked from the station, 3y 2 miles, and were well repaid repaid for I am doubtful if there is any nicer walk in all England, beautiful hedges and nice shady woods all the way. Tam- erton Elliott is the quaintest old place you ever saw, lying in a valley with very high hills all around it, and when I say hills please understand they are far .steeper .steeper and longer than Mt. Tom in Clarke, and Devonshire and Cornwall have many of them. At Tamerton Foliett they met Mr. Dingle, brothei^in-Iaw of Mrs. Thos. Jewell's brother, Chas. Weeks. "It is Market Day in Holsworthy today today and I counted 70 single horse dog carts and the men and women are a splendid splendid type of John Bull's family." In another part of his letter Mr. Cann says "We all like Devonshire very much, the scenery is so beautiful, the valleys are so deep, and the hillsides are covered .with trees of various kinds and colors of foliage, giving the landscapes the appearance appearance of lovely pictures. Crops are generally generally very good. Some farmers have cut three crops of hay this summer already. Weather has been fine èver since we left Canada, only a few 1 light showers, and > I am surprised to see this country looking so well with so little rain. Pastures are so very much thicker with grass and more productive than in Canada. Temperature is more like the Pacific Coast and the vegetation is very prolific. The farms produce, almost treble the hay and far better wheat and barley, but apples do not compare with Canadian grown. Strawberries Strawberries and thimble berries are^ much larger than ours." He speaks of writing by light of à tallow candle but finds gas in most places. They were leaving Aug. 28 for Scotland.

Two barns and a third building used for stabling were burned with contents which included 70 tons of hay and some 40 acres of grain crop unthreshed, harness and rriuch other property.
