Our caller was more than deâ€" lighted at this victory, but regretted Durham was not busy putting a jurâ€" ion hockey team into ha:ness for the years ahead. He contended if team did nothing move than play exhibiâ€" tion games with junior teams from neighbor‘ng towns, it would be worth while. The kidâ€"line of toâ€"day are the star : of tomorrow and he would like to see them get a chance and keep Durham on the bockey map. There is nothing better for a town than a homeâ€"brew team, besides one never knows when a Charlie Conacher or Eddie Shore may be in the making. A JUNIOR HOCKEY TEAM wwA Cl ! _ Mr E. A.

That would be all that was necessary We have on different occasions reâ€" ferred to Mr. Graham as the teacher, but never, we think, as a critic of his own teachers and the part they played in moulding his life. One of these teachers especially did he pay loving tribute to, and that was a well known resident of Durham Road, Mr Donald McDonald. His curriculum embraced the virtues of honor and integrity and yielded an untold influâ€" ence upon his pupils by his exempâ€" lary life. The South Grey Teachers‘ Conâ€" vent‘on is over and we didn‘t have any rain either. In fact they were model fall days.

Editor and Proprietor next week for par Brigham, Auctioneer €H Saturday, FOR DURHKHAM yet keenly |\ _ Community singing was led by Mr. Magee of Hanover, with Miss Elizaâ€" | beth Harding accompanying. Two solos much enjoyed were sung by Mr Gordon Rennie "In the Garden of my heart", and "Sunshine of your smile", with Miss Gagnon as accompanist. Mrs. R. M. Sparling gave two readâ€" ings from memory. Miss Elizabeth Harding‘s solo was "The brown bird singing." Only one toast was proâ€" | posed, to the King, and response was the singing of the National Anthem. upon their ability to read. Miss Pickâ€" ering had two pupils present, Joan Darling and Marjorie Herrington, who |read selections. Miss Norma Gagnon, of Durham, spoke on a "Greeting for a returned sick child." Miss Gagnon asked her hearers to consider the environment _of the pupilsâ€"some come from homes where kind words are scarcely known Kind words help those who are sick at heart. "Welcome back to school", is the title of a song children delight to sing io one returning to school. |â€" Miss M. Faust, Neustadt, delighted her hearers with a novel demonstraâ€" ‘t‘on of the sing‘ng method of teachâ€" ing number facts. The speaker had | seven pupils present, one playing the . piano accompaniment, while the six sang, to the tune of "Farmers in the Dell" and "Happy Birthday to you", ‘ portions of the addition and multiâ€" piication tables. This method _ was not only interésting to the singers, but to the aud‘ence as well. In the evening a banquet was serâ€" ved by the Ladies‘ Aid of Knox Unl-‘ ted Church, in the church scboolroomi which was followed by an addre‘s by Miss Agnes C. Macphail, M.P. Inâ€" pector Pentland introduced the speaâ€" ker, who began her talk by giving reasons for her trip this past sumâ€" mer to Europe. She had seen Fascâ€" ism and Communism growing and this opportunity to travel with Proâ€" fessor Marsh gave hes glimpses of the class struggle apparent in Europe. She spoke of the type of honesty that affects people as well as individuals. Reference was made to the love of the beautiful that the people of Sweâ€" den have, as seen in their homes, and the tidiness there is to be admired. Adult education is sweeping the naâ€" tions with enthusiasm, which is one reason that Denmark and Sweden are such democratic countries. Folk schools teach that history belongs to you and me, and that the wellâ€"being of people belongs to each other. If education doesn‘t find a solution for the problems worrying us, it is use less. The speaker laid stress on the fact that we are judged by the use we make of our talents. Mr Oscar Moon expressed in a few words the appreciation for this inspirâ€" ing address, which were conveyed to the speaker of the evening. x Mr. John A. Graham former Du;â€" ham principal «nd former Sec‘y of South Grey teacbers, was at h‘s besi \and held close attention in a 90 mi>â€" , ute talk on "Schools of the Past", ‘mlnly a story of his early school days. Japan had adopted our schools | while China with its same old schools was no more advanced than _ 3,00¢ |years ago. Scattering of the early “Greek scholars spread education, the ‘Romans established law and order, Friday‘s session was opened . by Rev. R. G. Haibert, who based his address on the advice given by Paul to Timothy "study to show thyself Teachers‘ TORONTO | ‘Writing, and how to improve it" wiag the topic of Miss I. Curtis, of ‘ILamla.ah. There are no short cutsâ€" | practice, interest and enthusiasm are It'ne main es«entials. Mr IrvineSharp 'brought greetings from High School | teachers and Inspector Pentland gave :pra.ctical hints on improvements he would like to see in all schools. ‘ Reports of the O. EA. council were given by G. H. Brown, Hanover and He told of his grandfather‘s school at Bunessan, Scotland, and punishâ€" ments and games of that time, then of their coming to Canada to Alex. Muir‘s (author of the "Maple Leaf") schoo! in Vaughan tp. In 1852 they came to No. 1 Glenelg, to school at Bunessan, Grey Co. _ Here ch‘ldren came in summer, men 18 to 23 in winter. Arch. Black the first teachâ€" er, (father of the late J. A. Black) was a man of rare ability. _ Present Bunessan school was built in 1871 by Jas. Burnett and his helper, Wm. Laidlaw. Mr. Graham spoke Gaelic only before starling to school and learned Eiglish between John Beaton now of B.C. and Rev. Jas. Binnie, now of Toronto. He described life in this early school under his _ four teachers: â€" Tristram Chislett, , Nat Greer, Chas. McArthur and Don Mcâ€" Donald; they had plenty of amuseâ€" ments, but "it takes just a little too much to please the present generaâ€" tion", remarked the speaker. Later he attended Mt. Forest High School, Collingwood Collegiate under princiâ€" pal Wm. Willlams, Durham Model School where Mrs Jno. Smith was a teacher, and Toronto Normal School. The Convention greatly enjoyed his reminiscences, and when Britain was invaded, in Ireland was growing up the greatest civilization of the then known world. there to other parts of the world. Scotland was noted for its . schools and from lona, Mull and mainland came the Scottish people who inhabâ€" ited Simcoe, Grey and Bruce. Principal J. A. Magee of Hanover #poke on "Schools of the future". Many former frills have become neâ€" cessities, he pointed out. Music is likely to be a compulsory subject as have agriculture, civics, art and natâ€" ure study. Rel‘gior will be put into hands of P. S. teachers. There will be larger units of administration of school affairs. The day is coming when there‘ll be no difference _ beâ€" tween High and Public Schoolsâ€"just a successive graduation. Consolidated &chools or something similar will supâ€" plant _ present _ system, technical schools will be more general, agriculâ€" ture will come into its own, and the school cafeteria is coming, for bodily as well az mental refreshments. We will see greater centralization of control: the future is one of specâ€" ialization, farming included. Schools will be equipped with means of takâ€" ing scientific measures of the intelâ€" lectual capabilities of each pupil. There will be greater uniformity of educational systems: each province having its own administrative system tends to keep Canada disorganized. This all leads to a «pecies of socialâ€" ism. _ We have some of this today: we‘ll have more Public Health units in future; doctors will be paid to adopt and carry out preventative measures. Preparation for all this must come through the chools. Coâ€" operation is the siogan of the future, and if any body of people needs it more than the farmers, it is the teaâ€" chers . Mr. E. A. Ruttle gave report of Standing Com. Next year‘s convenâ€" tion will be in Neustadt. _ Following are the new officers: Hon. Pres., J. A. Graham, Inspector Pentland; pres. C. A.

Six resolutions were adopted as read, and the new president, Mr. Sinâ€" clair next called on Mr. Hall, teacher of Brantford to stres3 the benefits of Teachers‘ _ Federation. Automatic membership was desired and _ they were working for less emphasis â€" on examinations, abolishment of overâ€" crowding classrooms, selection of students applying to attend Normals, changes in Normal course stre:sing more creative work, sufficient salaries for all teachers and healthier teachers Miss Dingwall, Egremont.
