The returns for School Rates for the various sections of the Township have just been issued and have caused con- siderable discussion among the rate- payers. In several of the sections the rates have been practically doubled and in others greatly increased. This is due to the fact, that owing to the increased population, more school ac- commodation has been required. During the past few years new schools have been built and additions to other. At the present there are sixty-five teachers required to cover. the Town- ship. This mans increased expenditure in the upkeep of schools and salaries, thus the increased tax rate. it is expected that the ladies will be represented at the Kew Beach games on the lst of the month. All the season of visiting will be over by then and the bowlers will be back to form. Wednesday night, the Nickle night, is still going strong. You can find all the bowlers who are home on the green that night., They are keenly interested and the points are counting up.

They won ‘out in the final game for the section 'championship against Earlscourt Me- thodist Church team. The boys de- serve all credit for the splendid fight that they have put up. During the season they onlrlost one game to the city church. This defeat they turned to victory when they defeated "the Earlscourt team in the final last week by the score 4 to 3. It was a hard fought game all the way. The city team did not like bowing before our boys a bit but they found that the locals can play the game. This entitles dur boys to enter the finals for the city when they meet Woodgreen Me- thodist Church team, the winners of the eastern section. The line up of the team was as follows: 5 After two weeks of education, sport and real life, the 11th troop of the Boy Scouts have returned home. This is the local Islington troop and each one of the 25 boys is the better boy for his outing. Under the leadership of Scout Master Tom Haslett, these boys have been given insight into Ircb- ture and true life. High ideal have been upheld to these boys. They have been taught the true points of camp life. They have seen something of the real wonders of nature. They know the camp fire and the wonders of the skies, it has been one great trip. Some badges were won and prizes brought home by the different scouts, all of which will be prized greatly. The boys had a, complete wireless set in camp and enjoyed all the concerts and heard many of the long distance calls. It was H. Tiers set that was used and all the boys enjoyed the outfit. Athletic Club Meets The regular meeting of the Islington Athletic Club was held on Monday night. Owing to a number who were off holidaying it was found necessary to adjourn. All made their way to Sunnyside Beach and enjoyed the love- ly water on the warm evening. It is the objective of this club to hold a good meet in the near future. A Park Wanted in Islington The ndeds of some spot where you can hold athletic contest? and have re- creation is becoming more apparent every day. We have here the winning team of the Methodist baseball league. P They have to play their game in Latub- ton. Why is this? There is no place in Islington where these boys can play the game. It should be taken into consideration at once. There are sev- eral sites about Islington that could be turned into ideal parks and give ample space for athletic contests. These are now available at a fairly low price. Will they be available in a few years? Has the experience of the other centres been that they could secure park space just when they wapt- ed it? Now they have found out that they had to pay for it dearly. Then Islington should now secure a location. 1 The distnict is growing and the need) is here. Let the citizens look to the future and supply the n cessary space i for our citizens to enjog' their sports i and the fresh air.

Weston did have a little difficultysin placing their deben- tures a few years ago. By careful manipulation and vision on the part of our councillors duling the past few years there has been a change. Weston has secured the confidence of the peo- ple. They have been' placed before the public as a solid, reliable invest- ment and the future of Weston has been assured by this sane policy. The reduction of the mill rate is another evidence of the splendid position that the town holds. , At a special mprting of the town 5 council held on Tuesday night the ten- 1 ders for the High School debentures !, were opened.

"Let a hundred men, women and children come together in a picnic or for some other purpose. Let some one sug- gest," he proceeded, "that thirty min- utes be spent in singing. It will be discovered that there are not ten Peo- ple in that group who can sing ten songs together. The whole group should be able to sing' a hundred songs together, and such would be the case if we had been attacking this problem in the right way. "I thin,k there is another important phase of this question. Next to the pleasure which comes from singing good songs is that which comes from listening to good music, and I believe that the children of the public schools should be given that opportunity;_,and in this period of excellent phono- ‘graphs and similar instruments and records of the best music that has been written, it is easy and inexpensive to bring the finest music of the world into practically every school of the na- tion. I think this should be done. The schools should be equipped with good instruments; records should be care- fully selected, and the children given the opportunity to enjoy the great music of all nations. While it is probably desirable 1hat the names and something of the technique of these musical selections should be learn- ed, that is a secondary and un- important part of the' instruction. The main puipose shouid be to give chil- dren the opportunity to hear and en- joy the best instrumental and vocal music that has been written. This period should be treated as a re- creatory and not a work period."
