Simpson, Ontario Minister of Education, has announced several important changes in regard to High School Departmental and High School Entrance Examinations. One change, which will meet with general approval, abolishes examination fees in future. In recent years pupils writing on High School Departmental examinations had to pay $1.50 for each paper on which they wrote. Practically where there was1 two or more in the family writing on the examinations the cost was a serious burden in many cases. Entrance Examination fees will also be abolished. Another change, which has been urged by many School Boards, cuts off the extra salary to teachers presiding at examinations'. In many cases teachers receive double salary while presiding.The School Boards by which they were regularly engaged paid the full salary for the year and the School Board in Charge of the School in which they were presiding paid $10. to $12.00 a day besides expenses, most cases the presiding examiner the highet paid teacher of the school in which he taught. The dates of examinations will so be changed so that all examinations will be completed by the end of June. Last year there were many complaints in regard to the dates of examinations as some were not completed before the middle of July. Another change in the regulations provides that the pupils gbtaining a sufficient term, mark may* be recommended instead of having Jo write on Departmental Examinations. MARKETING CANADIAN HONEY Unfavorable weather conditions .luring three successive years have resultedin a honey crop considerable b6low average in Canada as well as in other countries supplying the United Kingdom market. This, however, has had a favourable effect on the marketing situation as it has enabled producers readily to dispose of their surplus stock at slightly higher prices. During the past five years Canadian honey has improved its position on the Bri+ish market. To hold this advance on a strongly competitive market, it is essential that Canadian prodttcers offer only a well graded, high quality product particularly as competition has been intensified by the recent restrictions imposed by continental countries the consequent unloading of foreign honeys on the British markSt. Sprague Cleaners DeLUXE SERVICE of Belleville (^alls on Colborne residents on -A* -----request, through JOHNSTON'S DRUG STORE Colborne Three Times Weekly Prices and lists may be had at Johnston's Drug Store, or phone your order to 45, Colborne.
