He was particularly well pleased with the wonderful class rooms, to which he made special mention. The equipment in the science room, too. received his hearty approval, and was classed as “one "of the best in the Province”. This will be gratifying to the Board and those responsible ionits installation, as the equipment was believed to be the best that money could buy. As a result of the visit of Inspec- t01 Husband the Durham School will now go to the top amongst the best schools in the province, a po- sition it should always have main- tained, and with the high grading gixen it is altogether likely that the annual Government grant re- cex ed will be possibly $1,000. higher then it would haxe been had the school been left as it was previous {)0 .ltgie time the new addition was u1 . , SCI 1‘ “Making Daddy Behave” is a three-act farce and deals with the joys and sorrows of a home where the boss of the house is determined to remain the official pooh-bah of the domicile. but finally loses out when opposed by the members of his family and their friends.

The condition of Mrs. Thomas C. Morton, a respected resident of this town for the ast 49 years, who suffered a stro e of_paralysis last Saturday night, remains unchang- ed, and while she appears much the same as when the affliction first seized her, the family has practi- cally given up hope for her recov- ery. When a short distance this side of Owen Sound, Mrs. Morton re- marked on the condition of one of her hands and almost immediately afterward “as seized with a stioke, She lapsed into uncons- cious and had been in this condiâ€" tion ever since. At first it was thought better to return to Owen Sound, but later to go on to Chatsworth.
