Jackson, who has just retired after rendering fourteen years of contihuous servicé (as a member of the Board of Educa- tion) to the community of Port Perry. "During those years she has missed comparatively few meetings; has de- monstrated her ability to understand and interpret the complicated system of education that we have in Ontario, and that together with her experience, makes her retirement a distinct loss In 1930 and 1931, Mrs. Jackson was ly elected chairman, an office that she filled with distinction and credit, and was I believe, the second woman to fill that ofis | in Ontario, and incide : 1ce, a sister-in-law, f . Jeffrey, who presided over the ronto Board of Education, a short time prior to Mrs. Jackson's chair- manship in Port Perry, other women who have served on the Board in Port are Mrs. F. W. Brock, Mrs. A. H. Rose, Mrs. Jas. Forman, Mrs. Figary, and Mrs. Orde. It appears to me there is a distinct field of service for women who are cation. First, because they are rate- payers; and second, because in both sexed, and oftentimes a woman can render more efficient service than a man' in dealing with the problems ot her own sex as in relation to our edu- cational system, I hope that those iu authority will see fit to appoint an- other woman, if possible, to fill the vacancy created by Mrs, Jackson's re- tirement, who, after .fourteen years of faithful service rendered, deserves "to be recognized.

Jeffrey is the possessor of a rare collection of old china which she has inherited from her grand- parents, who in turn had received the precious heirlooms from ancestors, some of whom, dated back to Charles the First. The pieces are chiefly cups and saucers, some decorated in blue de- sign, and some in a peculiar tone of red. Some of the pieces carry that rarest of all china decorations-- metallic luster, an art of beautifying china "which has largely been lost. One particularly treasured product of the potter's art is a medium sized jug... It was made as a souvenir of the building of the iron bridge at Sunderland, England, in the year 1793. - Another rarity (not an antique) is a trick jug with a perforated neck. You are challenged to be able to drink out of it as follows: "To drink and not to spill Will try the utmost of your skill." The trick can be performed in spite of the perforations if you know where to place your fingers. The making of pottery is almost as old as the history of mankind; and the study of the development of this art brings to light wonderful stories of patience and skill, The process of "firing" is particularly difficult and uncertain. The old adage--*"If at firsy you don't succeed, try again' has been amply lived out in the making of fine china. To the lover of antiques, Mrs, Jef- frey's- collection of-china would prove most interesting. RE ------ PA PORT PERRY HIGH SCHOOL SHORT COURSES IN HOME ECONOMICS and VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE.
