The teachers and pupils of the Kingston Collegiate Institute are re- minded that their day for having the School British Whig for their arti- cles and stories is Saturday of each week, but that owing to the paper being published at an early hour on Saturday, it is absolutely necessary to have the copy in the hands of the School Editor not later than five o'clock on Théfsday. There 'must be plenty of news from the collegiate, but we would like to have the copy | early. We trust that the Collegiaté | scholars and teachers will bear this in mind next week.--~( Editor.) ------------ WAS HELD AT HARTINGTON ON THURSDAY EVENING . ------ Room For Improvement in the Care of Milk Pointed Out by Inspector Publow=-Edley Campbell Re-elect. ed Director. A meeting of the Eastern Ostavio Dairymen's Association was held at artington on Thursday evening. Edley Campsall, district director, oe- cupied 'the chair. Mr. Clark, distriét superintendent, gave x report on the season's work. He gave a brief ac count of the inspection wotk in the district, and dealt particularly. with the records received showing the average quantity of milk produced by individual cows in his district, which | showed that the average production iwottld pot exceed 3,500 pounds, ! which means that some cows are low told that, if properly lortunately (or fortunately if one is a philosopher), they are few and far between. Each / travell rural sclence teacher could wr a most interesting account of special days apd of truly wonderful things ac- complished. But, since suc h days are not representative of the work, 1 shall just describe an ordinary day in the experiences of a travelling tea- cher. Taking the train at seven-thirty, a halt hour's ride brings her to the place where ghe is to spend the morning. She calls for the teacher, and they discuss problems and plans 4s they walk the half-mile to the school. The pupils are collecting mosses, weeds and wild flowers for the local school exhibition, and the travelling teacher must see and dis- cuss the recent additions to the col- lections. -One---enthusiastic Httls toy Was quite disappointed on being told that his lichens were not mosses, bat his face brightened again on being labelled, they could be added to the mosses and the collection would be made all the more interesting. After the opening exercises (dur- ing which. the travelling teacher fpeculates on the probable benefit of the ordinary, lifeless, unmeaning devotional exercises which are con- ducted in so many schools) a talk is given on "Weeds and Seed Disper- sal." All of the pupils live on farms, yet none of them know the annual weeds which should be destroyed be- fore going to seed if the farmer wish- es (0 be rid of them the following Year. After the talk and discyssion the pupils are left to write their es- cays, for which prizes are offered in the exhibition prize list. The travelling teacher then goes on to the primary department where she conducts "a sewing class. The girls are making little samplers of white cotton, using. coarse needles and red thread. After they have learned "their stitches. some will make doll's clothes at home for the exhibition. 'After recess, during which the pu- pils are taugit 'a new game, the older girls have their sewing class. They, 'too, are just learning the stit- thes, and are making samplers. The regular teacher has an arithmetic class with 'the boys, working out some farming problems provided by the travelling teacher, At noon the teacher walks two miles to town, and after Innch, three miles to her mext school. This is an ungraded school, and here, too, pre- parations ave under way for a local exhibition--the first ever held inthe community. As there are not many older girls among the fifty pupils, it is" not considered wise to attempt auy sewing before the exhibition. A couple of boys are interested in col- lécting fertilizers, 'so. the teacher gives 'a little talk om the uses and Lomposition .of the~ specimens at hand. One boy suggests gefting a sample' of marsh mud. They are shown howto mount specimens and the tedcher ' promises to get. small bottles and eardboard in town and bring them on her next visit. She then takes a list of probable entries. No one enters bread and ! biscuit, 'but there will be a fairly large number of cakes and boxes of fudge, She comments on this and makes a memo in hér note-book to plan' later on to give a talk on plain cooking. She also asks-for entries for the various events.in. the pro- gramme of sports which she has ar- ranged; for the 'afternoon. The boys become quite exelted over this. Some wish to enter in everything, but they are made to see that each one must have a chance. As there is still 'half an hour before train time, the visitor «Supervises some seatwork while the regular teacher conducts classes During the hour's wait in town she able to the dairymen, bit there was muth room for improvement in the care of their milk entering into the manufacture of cheese.

At a recent examination the pupils were asked to explain the words, "five wits" in the following couplet; "Alone, and warming his five wits, The White Owl in the belfry sits." Here are a'few of the answers re- ceived to this question. 1. The owl is all cuddled up with his head under his wings, and his feet are covered dy his wings. His two feet, two wings and his head are his five-Wits. ~~ 3. Five wits are thoughts. . 3. The owl is supposed to have fit wits and he is gathering tiem togeth~ er. 4. The five senses. 6.
