To-day while we have less to live on: we have as much-to live for, "Remember; too, the" way- in" which Canada showed' herself capable of 'a had gone. passive sderifice. Thére are mothers who have gone and niothiers "who are going to 'premature graves: bécause "virtue went out of them" in the ex- penditure of heart energy. Remember, too, the courage of the men who. met death, not without human. shrinking 'but never-the-less in the happy 'warriot spirit of Rupere Brooke who wrote: =» - "Thank God who 'hatched us with this hour." ~ . 3 "If I'should die. think 'only this of me : That . there's. some corner of a foreign field : That is forever England. » The thought of others 'was. "ever manifest in the soldiers dying: Cut my botton, cut my botton" gasped a dying séldier in the early 'days of the use of the deadly gas; On the tar- nished tunic button was a chemical substance - which he thought ~ by anlysis could be offset. Canada is forever richer because of the deeds of daring: heroism -and sacrifice. It will be waste and loss unless we do 'our part: to produce and maintain' the' peace for. which they died. . | vows "The war has' taken. spring out of the year. And this accomplished our leading people are amazed to find that the other seasons are not conducting themselves as usual. The spring of the year lies buried in' France and elsewhere", says J. M. Barrie. Yes there is a lost generation to whom we owe a heavy debt. And we are .in danger "of losing the high idealism - for which our men fought and died.' i 'Intense' nationalism is having its innings again in our day, more men under. arms and more money spent on | armaments than'in 1913. And great 'scientific discoveries designed to bless men are. in danger of being used to maim and destroy. Moral and spiritual power must- keep pace with material and mechanical development: The: high' "principles. for 'which our soldiers died' "fyere. dulled' even in the Peace e Treaty of Versailles which was a' viglation,: 'of the.

We have not kept faith in that while asking. the enemy to. reduce armaments we have failed. to fulfil our pledge in the same matter, A: partisan spirit instead of a world spirit; 'dominated. Humanity lost against nationalism, Forgiveness and. Brotherhood against vindictiveness and retaliation. Our men 'died in a arin to end war" It is therefore incumbent on us iy 'produce the peace mind which alone can ensyre safety and peace.

Flag "to Public School. At 11. o a.m. on Armistice Day, there was a brief ceremony earried out when a loyal and generous: citizen presented the Public School with a fine flagpole and flag. The presentation was made on behalf 'of the donor by Mr. James Lucas, Mr. James Lucas, in making the presentation said, in part, "Some two weeks ago, two citizens, connected with the management of our school, suggested the securing of a flagpole, and an immediate response came from a' very loyal, public-spirited citizen, who, out of the goodness of the heart, ,. proffered this splendid donation, and I have been requested, and honoured by the donor, to take this part in the ceremony. When we consider the interrial tur- moil in evidence in other countries, and Great Britain throughout this]. world depression running on an even keel, how proud we should feel to be national honour, national liberty, in- dividual freedom, fellowship within the empire, maintenance of law and order under domestic institutions, and for unity' peace and oc-operation amongst British nations all over the world. This flag has a glorious Kittie, and I would suggest to our teachers that they instruct their pupils regarding the English, Scotch and Irish forma- tion, the dates of the respective legis- lative incorporations, and the signi- ficance of the crescent. Imbued with the same spirit of the contributor, I take very great pleasure in presenting to our Board of Educa- sinking of wheels in the body. "The blunt nose of a new autobus with sleep= .

(Herbert) 1 'People who know, including alike the sclentists, ' the designers, and the world of smart fashion, are all predicting the near approach of streamlining In automobiles. Streamlining has been used In airplanes for several years: the present top speeds of the trans-continen- © tal transports--and also the low fares--have only been made possible by 100 per cent streamlining which reduced wind resistance, hence cut power consumption, increased speed and riding comfort. The rallroads are now seizing on this new science, and several lines promise stream-lined trains to tra- vel 100 miles an hour, Automobiles have joined the procession. New cars will soon be seen with blunt noses, sloping tonneaus, wheels buried in the body. Long noses will soon be only a sign of the old fashioned wind-fighters, which . labored to push the alr as a mole does the earth. os Ontario County Educational Association Nearly five hundred people attended the after- noon and evening -sessions of Ontario County Educational Association at Beaverton, on Fri- ~-day, November. 10th. The drawing card in the afternoon was the Public Speaking Contest, in' which the winners at the rural school fairs took part.' were recitations, impromptu speeches, and in- strumental numbers. Formerly this contest has been held at Whitby before the County Council. The new plan has given many more people the - opportunity of hearing the young qrators. There were many" contestants in the several classes. The winners were: Public Speaking--1, Blanche Armstrong, S.S. 11, Uxbridge; 2, Lila Card, S. S. 8, Pickering; 3, Helen Snooks,- S. S. 4, Brock. There were 6 boys and 6 girls entered. Impromptu Speaking--1 David Croskery, Ux- bridge; 2 Catherine Lawrence, S. S. 6, Rama; 3 Robert Brownridge, S. S. 8, Pickering. 4 boys and 2 girls entered. Recitation--1 Mildred Linton, S. S. 14, Pick- ering; 2 Reta Collins; S. S. 3, Mara; 3 Wilma Down, U.S.S. 6, East Whitby. 11 girls and 2 boys entered. Instrumental Music--1 Murray Morgan, S. S. 16, Pickering; 2 Morris Kennedy, S. S. 1, Scott; 8 Gordon Hood, S. S. 3, Scugog. 9, boys entered. - Prizes and souvenirs "were donated by the County: Council, and the Educational Association, under whose auspices the contest was held, also gave a prize. The contest and afternoon program was direct- ed by Mr, Croskery, Ontario County Agricultural Representative. During the interval between the afternoon and evening meetings, the members of the Women's Institute, Beaverton, served a very appetizing supper,' a courtesy much enjoyed by a large num- 'ber of the visitors. The evening program, of which President Bag- shaw took charge, was pleasingly enlivened by several musical numbers of an entertaining char- acted. A remarkable number was the illuminated club swinging demonstration given by Mr. P. McMillan. In this demonstration the hall is darkened and thé colored lights' in the clubs give a) very pretty effect. Mr. McMillan is a man well over sixty, but he swings the clubs with real skill. Another delightful- number was the Maypale Dpame given by the girls of S. S, No. 2, Thorah, under the direction of their teacher, Miss Calder. Other numbers were a recitation by Mildred In addition to the Public Speaking there that the school SHALL be opened with reading of the Scripture and repeating the Lord's Prayer. It is 'also required that the school be closed with prayer. Three sources of Scripture reading are' © permitted--the Bible, the Sunday School Lesson, and the book of Scripture selections issued by the Department. While all this is provided in the Act, much of the good effect upon the scholars depends upon the fype of teacher engaged by the Trustee Board. The Scripture passages should -become as lighthouses in the voyage of life. Their beauty and value will be greatly enhanced if the teacher believes and loves the Word. Mr. Campbell pointed out that many schools in Ontario do not carry out the requjrements of the law reggrding - religious -exercises, although in most schools the rules are properly observed. He also spoke of the influence which the local clergyfran may exert in religious instruction in the schools. At the conclusion of this address President Bagshaw remarked--*"If you have a good teacher, keep her--don't haggle about the salary." i 'Dr. Phair, Superintendent of Child Welfare in Ontario, spoke of 'health requirements in the Public School. He pointed out that attendance was compulsory, that the curriculum was fixed, and that physical exercise was not adapted to individual needs: The supposition is that all ¢hildren are healthy and that no special provision would have to be made for those with defective sight or hearing or other physical defects. Dr. Phair gave it as his personal opinion that if parents would assume the duties of child guidance, it would be better if the children could be kept out of school until they are eight years of age. They would lose nothing academically. Between twenty and thirty per cent. of the school children are physically" unfit for the inelastic school system; but nobody seems to do anything about it. Of course the excuse now is that there is no money for health programs. The same ex- cuse was common in prosperous times. Health should be taught in the schools, just as much as as- arithmetic. An appeal was made to the teachers to use the natural play instincts of the child as the basis of physical exercise. In this way self-development could be encouraged, and the scholar would learn unselfishness, and team play. However, if the surroundings are dirty, ill- 'ventilated, ill-lighted, and poorly warmed, health programs are difficult to teach. This is where the trustee can do his best work. Mr. S. Farmér, of Port Perry, in speaking of "The Dutles of Trustees," pointed out the quali- ties that would be a true foundation for success in the work for the benefit of the school: : tools, Workmen's ! Gordon B. ners. * * * How about that local hockey team? Now is the time to get started.

The many friends of Mr. Weir Swain will be sorry to know that he is in the hospital at Timmins as the result of an accident in one of the mines, on Oct. 4th. While operating atthe depth of 900 feet, he was struck by a huge piece of rock which pinned him against the Wall © of the 'mine. Fortunately the rock split enabling Weir to escape through the aperture. Although he is suffering from a fractured skull, fracture of the hip amd internal" injuries, he is progress- ing as favorably as can be expected.
