The rink was plank seated.. with stage built at centre of north side. It meant a great deal of work for the committee in charge, but they were somewhat repaid by the splendid suecâ€" cess obtained. They are very grate ful to the Furniture Co. and othets, who kindly loaned lumber and mater ial for fitting up thq rink. Mr Harold McKechnie, President of S, Grey Debating League, very capâ€" ably filled the chair. He announced community â€" singing in opening with Mrs A. W. H. Lauder . at the piano, later introducing the moving spirit of the day, Prof. McLaren of the O. A. C., Guelph, who is an expert in orâ€" ganized play. "What is required in rural life," stated Prof. MeLaren, "is more leaâ€" dership. With it we have no need to worry about anything else." There is now power and ability going to waste in rural communities. There are very few who can express the viewpoint of the farm in political life. Play should also be developedâ€"it is pathetic to see young men and wont en who don‘t know how to play. He . 1 InC® W CBP w EedP MEVTRT T ORRTR CC CCC f [ recommended â€" amateur plays and a knowledge of music to advance s0¢â€" ial life. Organizations should be e[â€" fected to develop the â€"community spirit, with singing, debating, public speaking, dramatic competitions, etc. He instanced the success of an orgâ€" anization in South Wellington.

They â€" gave several numbers to which they were foreed to respond. ‘Onward‘ Club had the afirmative side of the debate "Resolved that Consolidated Schools would serve Onâ€" tario better than the present system.‘ Their leader, Farquhar Oliver, as serted the church first dominated edâ€" ucation, and in early days when farmâ€" ing was sole occupation rural schools served the need. _ Industrial centres had superior educationa 1 _ facilitics now, and patching up old system was useless. Consolidation is the only solution. It is increasing yearly in U. 8. 891 Ont. schools have now less than 10 pupils and these cost $1,000,000 yearly to serve 7000 pup ils. Consolidation â€" wins Gov‘t enâ€" dorsement ; Gov‘t grants gives rural ite H. S. education at home, increasâ€" es value of land, transports pupils bright and ready for work, promotes regularity of attendance, protects children‘s health, etc. Wm. Ford, of No. 7, Normanby, was first negative speaker. He conâ€" tended the one roomed school _dewl- Elford Watters, second aff.speaker explained how consolidation provided more _ playgrounds, better _ heated and ventilated buildings, better equipâ€" ment, more efficient teachers, more competition, better grading, schools became social centres, gave greater scope for organized games, had cadâ€" et training, had van driver‘s superâ€" vision to protect morals, etc. No con. school has fallen batk to old system. Melville _ Anderson, second neg. speaker, showed that in U. S. pupils in rural schools averaged a year younger than Con. schools. In small rural class of 4 or 5, there is greater rivalry than among 30. Teachers in rural schools know the children‘s home life, there is not so much change in teachers as in Con. schools and hard work makes country pupils stronger physically and mentally. "If "not the right thing, why is Ontario building so many new Con. schools ?" retorted F. Oliver in reply. He quoted Dept. of Education re reâ€" liability of the vans, also results in Ohio. # Rev. W. H. Smith and Prof. Meâ€" Laren were judges, the former an-‘ nouncing the result. "The real point is to win the sympathy of the audâ€" ience, said "Mr Smith.

But if we only stop to think for & little while, we will be reminded of the hardâ€" ships that the pioneers had to conâ€" tend with. _ Not only had they to clear the land of primeval forest but also+ of stones, whi®h you notice have been vyery numerous, as well as build their own homes and provide their own food and clothing. Southern End of Section Beginning at the southern end of section, the . first pioneer we have record of was William Mountain who came from near London, Eng. where he had been married . previous (p; his departure in the year 1840, landâ€"| ing at New York. He lived thére for a time when his younk wife bp-‘ came homesick and desired to rel?n ‘to England, so the return jourdey was undertaken. l:r route home Mrs Mountain became ‘ ill and died and was buried at sea. Mr Mouitain réâ€"| turned to New York again, coming west to Ohio and later to I)undas.‘ where he worked for a time. < He came up to this country in company‘ with the Vollett‘s in the early 40‘s. ‘ The story is told how Mr Mountain Iand Mr Aaron Vollett, each carrying ‘80 Ibs on their back, came up to, | this country and hbad to walk a pol{‘ ‘ in the long swamp at places, with Prepared and 1 Smith, at the Wom. Institute great difficulty. Mr Mountain took up the Mounâ€" tain homestead (now owned by his son, Thos. Mountain). He lived for a time in the Vollett home, then out near McClinton‘ Corners, till he had a shanty built on his own property. The chimney in that first home was of spit cedar plastered with mud. In a short time Mr Mountain set olt an“;;-;:ln;r;i-; hivlng brought seeds from Dundas. Some of the original trees are still in that orchard. Mr Mountain had the contract of clearisg a part of the Durham Road, sear Hutton Hill. He also taught school for a time north of Durham. Mr. Thos. Mountain rela'. "One afternoon in the fall of the year his father and brothers went to gather haws which were to be found of excellent quality growing in the locality of where Mr Alex Grierson resides. A sack of haws had been gathered and the father ard boys reâ€" traced their steps homeward, but beâ€" came confused in the woods and were unable to find their way. _ Evâ€" ening came on and with it came rain, so the father and sons decided to remain in the woods that night.‘ Nearby was a large elm log and in it they spent the night as comfortably as if they had been in their own home. In the morning they were given> a breakfast by a woman who lived near where Mr Wm. Derby now resides, then continued their way homeward. They were met by Mrs. Mountain, who needless to say, had spent an,anxious night. When their neighbor, Mr Henry Vollett heard of the occurrence, he remarked that had Mrs Mountain came over @and told him when her husband and sons had failed to return, he would have gone and searched for them and lwould perhaps have located them by calling. and _ The first settlers on the north slde‘ of the section were : Jno. and Chas. | Mopkins who came in 1845 from Ire : land. They left there" on April 1st of< | that year and arrived here the falâ€" lowing fall. They settled on the farm | south of Durham Road, east side of / Hutton Hill and built the bhouse which*is still there. Mr David Hopâ€" ; kins, who was a son of Chas Hop | kins and at that time 9 yrs of age, , says that when they came here there was only a "blazed‘ ‘trail from Durâ€" | ham and a log across the river. It One day his father and mother went out to cut down a tree that was very near their shanty, and left him, then only a small child, inside. The tree did not fall the direction intendâ€" ed, but fell back across the shanty. Needless to say they were very anxâ€" ious till they found their child quite unharmed. One year, Mr Backus states, his father did not get his turnip crop harvested before snow â€"came and winter set in He remembers seeing the deer, not in twos or threes, but by the dozens, harvesting that turnâ€" ipâ€"crop on moonlight nights. He also remembers when wild animals were quite numerous in this locality. In 1855 from Lanark Co. came Donald McKenzie who took up the farm now owned by O. Bauer, and his brother Hugh, who settled on the farm now in the possession of Herb, Vollett. Soon after came their mothâ€" er, sister and brothers, Duncan (setâ€" tling on north part of farm what is now owned by Robt. Webber) and his brother John taking up the property which is still in possession of his son Jas. McKenzie. Other early settlers were Meikles, Haskins, Daly‘s (taking up Wm. Picken‘s farm), Thos McAssey (on Robt. Webber‘s) and his brother Jno )chue,v, (living where Ritchie‘s now reside.)

The late Mr Middaugh was owner of some of the famous horses and part of the original track ma» still be discovered if one takes notâ€" ice when near the C.P. R. crossing east of Hutton Hill: Mr Jacob Rummely was another early settler in that locality, living on the farm . now owned by Chas Lawrence. He used to make pin> shingles by hand and in all probabil t thaco «hingles will be 4n good ity those shingles will be in good preservation on any building which is still standing. When last heard from 2 years ago, Mr Rummely was living on Manitoulin I4. at the adâ€" vanced age of 99 years. Other early settlers in that localits were the Burgess, Turner, Reid, Lawson, Dargavel, Campbell, Milliâ€" gan and â€" Alexander families. _ Th« Edge propérty was bought by Web ber‘s, Petty‘s, Langrill‘s, Armstrongs| Noble‘s, etc. The School School No. 1i or better known as Hutt‘n Hill was built in year of 1871. The land was purchased from the late Jno. ‘Cuff for the sum of $10. The contract of building was taken by a Mr Daiglish of Durham. The sum of $5 was paid to the late Chas Moffat for the plan. The first trusâ€" tees were : David Hopkins (now livâ€" ing at Durham Hospital,) Jno. Hopâ€" kins, Thos. E. Hutton. Robt. Reid was the first Sec‘y Treas, who also canvassed the section for the build ing of the school. A complefe record has not been kept of the names of the teachers, but the firstteacher was Miss Maitâ€" land, later Mrs Jas.
