LlNDSAY, THURSDAY.‘ APRIL 26th Immedictely after the 30th day of J une, let the secretary-treasurer with the scalab- ance of the teacher, compare hie list with the register. The asaeaeor'e llet might contain the names of children who had not attended school during the last twelve months. For each such child a fine of $10 should be entered against the parent or guardian, and for every child who has attended leap than 150 days. a fine of five Let the clerk make a copy of the list? dividing the names according to the sect: ions in which the children reside, and furnish a copy to each secretary-treasurer. The Truancy Act requires the assessor to make a. list containing the name, age and residence of every child between the ages of 8 and 14 in the municipality, and the name and the name and residence of such child’s parent or guardian, and xe‘ turn the said book to the clerk of the municipality with the assessment roll. The plan I propose for rural sections supposes that trnenb officers are not necessary. It also supposes that: it is not necessary to notify parents to send their children to school. Whether our legislators supposed that it did not matter whether children attend- ed school in rural sections or not, or whether they wished to see how the act would work in urban municipalities it is hard to tell. They provided that trustees of rural schools might appoint truant officers, that is. the appointment was optional. I know of two cases where such appointments were made, but no good came in either case. There is one case however in which the act is weak and could easlly be improved, and that is where the absence from school is the fault of the child and not of the parent or guardian; in fact, where the child actually plays trnant. To fine or imprison the parent, when he has done all he can do, is not likely to accomplish the end in view. If the child were in: prisoned two days for the first offence. two weeks for the second, and receive a flogging for the third, very few scholars would stay away of their own accord. It might be better still if the flogging were administered for the first ofl‘ence. The Truancy Act of 1891 has done much to improve the attendance of child. ran in cities and towns, and possibly in incorporated villages. It provides for bhe appointment: of truant officers in all urban municipalities, and wherever teachers, truanu officers and magistrates do their duty the attendance ought to be all that can be reasonably expected. ad, but also that: every ratepayer hasa right: to know that every child in the municipality In which he pays taxel, ls educated.

On the site of the chopping mill lately burned, Contractor White has men at work. They can scarcely be said to be building,r a new mill and yet they are at- tending to the foundationsâ€"a very impor- tant item in any case and especially so when the superstructure is to take the form ofagreat elevator. When the mill was there it was of advantage to have the water under it. It used to be that when the mill went the water went also, but when the mill went one niaht last winter the water failed to leave and there is the problem. Submarine operation are always possible, but have their difficulties, and in this case are considered unadvrsable. For that reason Contractor White constructed a heavy cofi‘er dam above the mill site. It is water tight, but the proximity of the river on the north and the open nature of the adjacent soil on account of logs and rubbish buried in it during past years, combine to make it impossible to keep the water from trickling into the great excava- tion over which the mill stood. Tons of rock have been blasted out and a well made, out of which a rotary pump will throw the water fast enough to leave the foundations dry. The old stone work was badly damaged by the fire and will be re- placed. A basin much deeper than the old one, will receive the big new water wheel and the elevator mill is to be constructed with all speed. v_._- v-H-uv uvuuu ID an intricate and imposing array of coils and cylinders, also part of the mechanism by which compression and ammonia wili lower the temperature more effectively than the usual consignment of frigid Scugog‘. On the end of the egg house proper, carpenters are putting up an ele- vator shaft, that goes high above the ridge boards. In a month this cooling appartus will be in full operation. Besides the several entirely new concerns that have located in this town during the past year. there is a peculiar activity among the old, established firms. Among l the chief of these are the extensions and 1 new departure of the Flavelle Milling com- pany. OVer at their egg house most im- ‘ nortant operations have for some time been going quietly on. Some few may have noticed that instead of storing their usual hundreds of tons of ice in the winter, that firm has this spring been installing a plant for mechanical cooling. At auyrate that is what they have been doing. Adjoining the egg house on the west, is a neat. new, white rick structure. Inside is a com-l pact and massive-looking engine. It: strikes the novice as being a little unlike j what helhas been accustomed to see,but that not sufficiently so to elicit comment, but there are no boilers, nor place for them in sight. The answer to the query thus aroused, is that the engine is tor certain air-compressing purposes, and will be operated by electric power from Fenelon Falls. On the top_ of the ermine house is __ 2.. L__! , COLD STORAGE AND A NEW ELEVATOR Any trustee or trustee: neglecting to perform his or their part. with respect to compulsory attendance should be liable to the penalties provided for in section 101 and 102 of the School Act. And any secretary-treasurer, he not: being a trustee. should be liable to the same penalties for neglect of duty as are provided for in the case of trustees. The trustees should be required to pre- pare a list containing the names of all children in the section between the age of 8 and 14, who had attended less than 150 days In the year ending June 30th, together wlth the fines entered. and how disposed of, and this should ‘be read a: the annual meeting. and form part of the trueteee’ annual report. The fines imposed and collected should be paid to the truecees of the same sec- tion, and not into the general fund (f the municipality. As only a few weeks would intervene between the close of the school term and the making of the collector’s roll, the work would require to be done with as little delay as possible. As already hinted, the secretary would return to the clerk the names of parents or guardians. and the fines that: had not been remitted by the trustees or the county judge. The clerk would place the accounts on the collector’s roll to be collected with the other taxes. Whatever applied to physicians and ordinary diseases would apply to opticiens and defects of the eyesight. ' I should be in favor of accepting the ‘certificate of any medical practitioner thatachild was too delicate to attend school. But it might be safer to provide th ta majority of the trustees. or any two ratepayers. might; require two other doctors to examine achild, at the expense of the section, the opinion of a majority of the doctors to be final. Plant for Mechanical Cold Storageâ€"Operations on the Foundations of the New Chopping Mill. There should be two appeals, first to trustees. and secood to the county judge. The trustees should hold a public meet- Ing, the time of day to depend on the number of cases. The trustees should have the power to accept the reasons given by parents and remit the fine ; pro- vided that any two ratepayers might in- sist that a case be referred to the county judge. The secretary should notify each party concerned that the fines entered against him would be collected with, and in addi- tion to. all other taxes for which he was liable. unless good cause was shown that the said fine should not be imposed. . absent from school should be entered against the parent or guardian. cents for every day the child had been â€"-Harry Littieiord, a plasterer, living at 230 Oak-sh, Toronto. met with a pain- ful accident last Thursday night, which resulted in the loss of the sight of one at his eyes. Libtleford was working in a house on Parliament~st., wih several other plaster-era. A scafi‘oid on which he was standing gave way, and he fell to the floor. In falling, at large nail which was protruding from the floor ran into his eye. At an early hour this morning ho was removed to the gen eral hospital. It: was found that: the sight had been oom- plebely destroyed, the nail having pone-g trated the inner tissue. After appointing some persons to estab- lish routes and milk drawers, the meal:- tng closed. In proof of the confidence cf the pub- rons present: in the permanence of the creamer-y, additional stock to the amount: of $400 was as once subscribed. Menus. H. J. Lytle and W. F.

Mr. Bryans then moved in amendment: that Mr. John Twohey be preaident. Mr- John Duke seconded the motion. Mr- Twohey said although he was very much interested in the factory, he declined to be a candidate for the presidency, as there were other gentlemen better qualified for the ofiice than he. The present next announced the elec- tion of directors and officers for the pre~ sent year. and left the chairs. Mr. John Connolly was voted to the chair, and Mr J. Eilis moved. seconded by Mr. Jae. Roche. that Mr. R. Bryam be reappointed president. Before the chairman could put the motion, Mt. Brysns arose and thanked his move: and seconder, but deciined to accept saying that some leading farmer should be appointed. Mr. D. Scully humorously replied, saying that Mr. Bryan: was familiar With the work, and he (ML. Scully) thought that a Lindsay man was entitled co the honor, as many of the citizens of the town had given substantial encouragement to the creamery. ANN UAL FINANCIAL STAT EMEN 1‘ Mr. H. J: Lytle then read sdetalled statement of receipts and expenditures for the year ending March lst. He also spoke of incidental expenses, sanitation, etc. The meeting thought further audit- ing a needless expense. Mr. W. Flavella said that at the request of Mr. Lytle he had gone over the several accounts and found them correct, A motion confirm- ing the financial statement was carried. Mr. W. F. U'Boyle, secretary-treasurer for the patrons, read an interesting scheduled statement of the milk and. cream received during the year and the proceeds thereof. The receipts for cream alone was $613.20; for buttermilk, $161 91, while the net average price re- ;ceived by the patrons for butter was 17 5-83 per lb, which the meeting considered very gratifying in view of the high price of cheese last summer- Mr. Tnos. Fee and other patrons pre- sent, who were not stockholders, express- ed themselves as well pleased with the returns, and at once voiunteered to take stock. The president said he was much pleased that the efforts of the directors and officers met with the approval of the stochholders and patrons. They wowed solely for the purpose of establishing a cresmery in Lindsay, for they felt that it: would be an accommodation to the citizens of the town and a source of much profit: to the farming community of the county, on whom its success largely depended: In referring to the work of the officers he said that much credit was due to the Salesman, Captain Hunter, who had cheerfully devoted so much of his time eratis. A vote of thanks to the directors and officers was carried. ,____â€"' - Tlie secretary then read the minutes of former meetings which were on motion, duly adopted. The stockholders of the Victoria Cream- . ery Company held their annual meeting . at the Creamery, Lindsay. Saturday after- noon. Although the meeting was note. large one it was truly representative. comprising members from Emily and. Fenelon as well as from Ops and Lindsay. All manifested much interest in the proceedings. The president. Mr. Robt. Bryans, said it had been the intention of the directors to have the meeting a for weeks earlier but owing to the pressure of their business the treasurer was unable to prepare the financial statement sooner. [He assured the stockholders that their ‘money had been carefully and judiciously expended in purchasing and fitting up the building and putting in new machinery.
