The fifth annual ploughing match, of the South Ontario Ploughmen's 'Association, held on the farm of Ed- ward Whippey, on Lot 20, Concession 7, Whitby Township, north of Brook- lin, Tuesday last proved the best in the history of the Associaton. The weather conditions were ideal and a large number of contestants took part. There were twenty-five entries of persons from a distance greater than twelve miles, and according to regu- lations each of these entries had to be provided with a team. A feature of the match was the number of boys who took part, six entries having been received of boys under the age of eighteen years. Many of these lads astonished the veteran ploughmen with their work. At the conclusion of the match sup- per was served by mine host John Graham, at Graham's Hotel, Brook- 'fin, over 100 of the contestants and spectators attending. E, W.

Watson,| address was much enjoyed, so muek so that the speaker was invited to at- tend the next convention and address the gathering. While admitting. the responsibility of the school in helping to mould the character of the pupils, Mrs. Todd stated the home was even more responsible, Inspector Hutchison in his address gave a survey of the schools in South Ontario, in which he stated that there had been considerable improvement in school conditions of late years, and that these improved conditions had made the children more eager to at- tend school. He said that there is still room for improvement in some schools in the mater of sanitary equip- ment. He recommended the pipeless furnace for one roomed schools, Re- verting to the matter of the Fifth Class in rural districts, he said that the High School accommodation in Ontario County was quite adequate, except in the extreme north of the county. A round table conference was con- ducted by Inspector Ferguson, and there, too, the adequacy of High 8chool facilities in Ontario County was brought out in the discussion. Some of the trustees urged that great- er effort be made by the Inspectors to meet the trustee boards. The reply of the Inspectors was that while they would be glad to meet the Boards, the large number of schools under their inspection rendered it impossible to comply with this request, although they would be willing to do all they could in this respect. Secretary John N. Mark, gave a re- port of the Easter Convention in- To- ronto, and drew. the attention of the delegates to the unusual privilege that was being accorded to the ratepayers in helping to mould public opinion and the educational policy. There is an awakened and intelligent interest be- ing taken by many ratepayers in edu. cational affairs, and they are expres- sing their thoughts with some degree of helpfulness. The Convention received a hearty invitation to return to Udora next June, and the invitation was aceepted. Mr, Bagshaw was appointed dele- gate to the Easter Convention. a -- MYRTLE STATION
