A report has reached us Which we must pronounce a downright, deliberate lie, and Why such should be put in circulation is more than we can understand. It has been told in different parts of the rid- ing that Dr. Jamieson had made elaborate preparations to enter- tain Sir James Whitney, after his address here last Wednesday evâ€" ening, and that the Premier got so drunk that he did not go to -the doctor’s home, but had to be conveyed about midnight to his own car. We have made special enquiry regarding. this report. and find that it does not contain a single word of truth. In the first place, Sir James Whitney travels in his own private car, and is furnished with his own attendâ€" ants, and accepts no hospitality In the second place, Sir James was driven straight from his car to The Chronicle to January Ist, 1913 for $1.00. ’ On the 23rd of December. 1862 she was married in Dumfries to her now sorrowing husbanud, Mr. (John Ewen.

Ontario. OBITUARY. MRS. JOHN EWEN. Last Week, we briefly intimated the death of Mrs. John Ewen.,._ which occurred on Saturday morn- ing, November 18th, at her home at the Rocky Saugeen, at the age of sixtyâ€"seven years. The funeral services Were con- ducted by her pastor, Rev. Mr. Stevenson, and a large concourse of mourning relatives and friends paid their last tribute of respect to the deceased, by following the remains to the Durham cemetery on Friday afternoon last. Though afflicted by blindness for the past seventeen years, the deaceased was always a healthy and industrious Woman, and a kind and affectionate Wife and mother, Whose absence from the family circle .nlow causes a great vacancy. "Wlhen Rev, Mr. Little took charge of the Rocky Saugeen church, she joined the Presbyter- ians, and had been a faithful niember up to the time of her death. GODS, Mrs. Thomas 'Whitmore, a highly respected citizen of Oakville pass- ed away at the age of 74 years. The deceased lady was the w-‘idou of the late Thomas Whitmore who died 15 marmflhs ago.

Dr. Farquharson, chairman of the Continuation School Board, in a few brief remarks explained the reason of the meeting. He said that this was the first year of the Board’s existence, and he hoped it would pass by Without being ob- liged to make any demands for better accommodation or equip- ment. There was‘ however, as many knew“ a pressing necessity for action, and a quiet and rat- ional discussion of the question was the purpose for which the meeting was called. Inspector Campbell con-fined his remarks chiefly to the need 'of ac- commodation and better equipment in the public school. He had now been engaged in the work for twenty-five years, and he always endeavored, as far as possible, to make no unreasonable demands. The public school, however, was crowded, and we needed all the room we had at present, and even more. There are eight public school teachers, but we should have nine. The fourth class, with an attendance of fifty-five, entails more work than any one teacher can do properly. There are from forty-five to fifty in the third class, and this has been found to be the hardest class in the school to govern. In the next two rooms. the attendance is about normal, but there are pupils enough in the primary class for tW'O rooms. As the High school, or Continua- tion sc’hool stands at the top of the system, and must depend. to a large extent, upon the public school as a feeder, the crying need for efficiency in the latter is evident to all observers. Dr. W'augh. Inspector of Con- tinuation Schools was present. He is a fine physical type of man- hood. a great big chunk of a Sc-otohman, and as genial as he is big. From the very start he made a favorable impression â€"on the audience, and his fair and reason- able plea for such education as the Continuation schools afford was listened to from first to last with the very best attention. He said 'We have been favored by Dur- ham Model school being retained as one of the now existing fifteen Model schools of the province. The Model school was not retained here for political reasons, nor by political influences. We have now fifty-five stusdents-in-training. and during the term the public school is forced to get accommodation elsewhere for some of its classes, and the accommodation that can be procured is generally unsuitable for school purposes. The room in the town hall now used was char- acterized as a disgrace for such purposes and such conditions must cease. He did not wish to appear arbitrary. but he had certain duties to perform. laid down by law and by the Regulations of the Depart- ment. and these duties must be discharged at all cost. Unsatisfac- tory reports going in to the De- partment would assuredly result in the loss of the school grants. The school is the greatest instiâ€" tution in the community. Com- mercially it deserves favorable consideration and support. At present we have 55 Model students in attendance, and an attendance of 49 the year round engaged in high school work. The ratepayers were told posi- tively that the Government grants could be stopped, notwithstanding street gossip to the contrary. In rural schools the grants are, and have been for some time, based on efficiency of equipment and quali- fication of the teachers, and a similar system of grading would soon follow in the urban schools. §:z§§‘tz§0z§§z§§§4 :OOzOzOOOOOOQOOOOOOO‘ +... .
