LEAGUE OFFICERS ELECTED From the many cases of insanity We read of and the many acts of atrocity perpetrated by those who are mentally deranged. it isn’t safe to allow such persons their liberty. They may appear harm- less but there is no telling when an evil thought may take posses- sion of their minds, and irreymra- ble injury may be done in the des- truction of life or prorerty. In the kindest charity. and without the slightest malice. we think the au- thorities should see to it and have the poor unfortunates taken care of. To wait may be a source of regret. The annual report of the depart- ment of education was tabled 1n the Legislature on Monday. The report says that up to time the in- formation was gathered 210 male teachers had left positions in the schools to enlist for overseas ser- vice, 46 from the high schools, 177 from the elementary schools and 37 from the normal schools. Two public school inspectors and. seven principals have enlisted. One teacher has been killed in action, three have been wounded. and one has been awarded the Legion of Honor. Anthony Hihn, a Culross far- mer. was arrested in Walkerton and, on beino, examined by a local physician, was found to be men- tally deranged. He is now in jail awaiting orders to be removed to an asylum. Hugh Kerney of Wal- kerton and Peter Neilson of Car- rick, who were in the same jail for several months from insanity were removed to the London asylum '1 week ago last Saturday. DURHAM, ONT.

Only a short time ago we suggested the same idea to an : official of the town, and we natur- {ally favor the plan. It was per cent. discount off all taxes paid before the 1st of July, 1916. Formerly, the discount allowed {was two per cent, and last year ;321,000 were paid in. This year, with the five per cent. discount LLâ€" _- FIVE PER CENT. FOR PROVIPT g PAYIVIEI‘T ' rv- UV..- usuuvuut - the council eXpects to double that! amount. Instead of threatening to} charge delinquents three per cent, = additional, the discount plan would be more satisfactory, it: seems to us. We’ll venture to say? that many of the hydro users are' paying up and taking their dis-f counts, and we have little doubt, but it would be the same with the' taxes if the inducement were1 offered. I 'â€"-‘ done by (:‘hilarenv offltimis g .tion will be a pleasure to who fill their places in the _that come. The tasty surrorndings of a home should make the inmates happier, and similarly with the school; the more inviting and 3t- 'tractive it can be made, the more pleasant will be our memories of the little educational institution .where we spent so many of our youthful hours. Let Arbor Day be observed properly and {the Work The writer remembers engaging- years ago in Arbor Day exercises and the fruits 'of the labor per- formed a quarter of a century ago are enjoyed by the children of the present generation. It isn’t a good, nor a right idea, to think We shouldn’t do anything simplv because we, ourselves, may not live to enjoy the fruits of our labors. It would be a poor world. indeed, if we were fashioned in such a narrow mold. If the world is to be better because we lived, better. The foregoing paragraphs are taken . from Conservation for April, and the remarks are. timely at this season of the year. Arbor Day has been in existence for years, and has been observed in a kind of Way, but not always in full accordance with the intention for which the day was instituted bv our educational authorities in the years gone by. 1 The planting of trees‘and shrubs. and their protection and care, 1s a feature of nature study well worth the attention of all school princi- pals and teachers. Too many oil our schools have a neglected andl deserted appearance, an index of the character of those responsiblei for them. Nothing will overcome' this drawback more easil) and' with less expense than the im-; provement of the school grounds. 1 Trees, flower beds, borders and; climbing vines add to the school a1 home-like and attractive appear-f ance, causing it and its teachers to be remembered with pleasure by the pupils in after years. It is not too early to prepare for this year’s observance of Ar- bor Day in our schools. Educa- tional authorities. School princi- pals and teachers, should com- mence at once on a program, so- cure the necessary supplies of trees and shrubs, and interest their pupils in the work. so that when the day arrives they will ‘enter with enthusiasm upon the task of beautifying their sur- roundings. The educational authorities in nearly every province of Canada proclaim an Arbor Day, for which special exercises are prescribed. and interesting programs. includ- ing tree planting, are carried out. must do something to make it ARBOR DAY of this genera- those years PbbbsiDP‘bbEbbbbvbbbbbo vbgt>E>>>>>>>>>>>r$ h b +§+++++++++++++++++++++++.¢++++++++++++¢++++++++++++ ' Have you seen our tailm'ed to order Ladles' ° Skirts, made from the very finost of all-wool serges, 1n blacks, mu'ius and browns, 0 0 We haw :1.
