Last week the Brampton Min- isterial Association waited. upon the Council and petitioned that body to pass a by-law forbidding Sunday fun- erals. Several arguments were pre- sented to show the undesirability of continuing the practise of Sunday funerals such as: They interfere with.

It was stated that Sunday funerals have been abandoned in all the large centres.

D. J. Taylor of. North Grey in his speech in the Legislature drew Prem- ier Ferguson’s attention to his pro- posal of having two years of univer- sity work done in the larger high schools and the collegiate institutes not being in the best interests of high- er education. An important part of the student’s university training is the broader outlook they get on life and the keener competition in the curricu- lum of studies by association with other bright minds from other second- arylé schools. This is lost, to a large extent, by the local associations in the smaller centres of learning. Then- there’s the increased cost to the rate- payers who are taxed to keep the larger staff of instructors to meet this extra two years’ instruction, the school grants not being at all com- mensurate with the increased cost to the secondary schools.â€"Chesley En- terprise. ’ M340,moismbemadefmanew building.

Passing a un- animous resolution on this point the committee also urged that the Depart- ment of Agriculture draft such legis- lation as was necessary to bring about consummation of the suggestion. The Resolution had its birth in the an- nouncement of President Christie of the College that in many cases grad- uates were unable to establish them- selves on farms owing to the fact that they usually owed. money to their sponsors at the end of the tuition at the college. ”They go into some other line of work to earn this money and, as a result, are often lost to the farm,” stated Dr. Christie. "It takes a con- siderable sum 01' money for a young man to equip himself for farming and I think the government should render some financial assistance.” ' sides of. the House, every phase or governmental activity was subjected to review.

It is expected that the debate in this connection will be of about two weeks’ duration. There is every indication that the House. despite the fact that several important bills have yet to be brought down, will adjourn before Easter. Co-operating with the Canadian National and the Canadian Pacific Railways, the Ontario Department of Agriculture has arranged for a special seed cleaning demonstration train to tour the province. The train, which will be equipped with the latest seed cleaning equipment, will travel throughout Ontario in an effort to spread the knowledge of this import- ant part of agriculture. The resolution will receive the at- tention of the Department of Educa- tion and efforts will be made to meet the situation. Hon. George S.
