LX, NO. 41 JEAN DERBY "In the midst of life, we are _ in death." â€" How true this is, was reâ€" vealed last week in the passing . of Miss Jean Derby, R.N. of town, who was in fair health until she suffered a paralytic stroke two days previous, after which she never regained conâ€" sciousness. She was a trained nurse, but owing to heart weakness, had l‘ved at home the past six years. She was in her usual health _ Tuesday noon, when her mother went away for the afternoon and her . niece Margaret Derby, the third member of the hou eLolid, left for High Schcol. (On Margaret‘s return after four p.m. she found her aunt lying on kitchen floor unconscious, _ and immediately summoned the neighbors and medical aid, but one side being paralyzed, the deceased lived scarcely two days afâ€" ter CALDER‘S DRUG Miss Derby was eldest daughter cf the late Androw and Mrs Derby, and was bern on south line, Bentinck, fiftyâ€"one vear ago. She â€" attended fiftyâ€"one year ago. she attended Vickers public school here in girl-l hocd days, and in young womnhoodi lett to train for the nursing profesâ€"| sion at the Royal Al>xandra Hosplla" in Fergus.

Jean was an openâ€"hearted woman, aâ€"most â€" sympathetic a nd _ painsâ€" taking nurse, and a cheerful comâ€" panion in the home, church and neighorhood, where her personality will be sorely missed. ‘The funeral was largely attended on Saturday aftersoon at Durham Presbyterian church, her former pasâ€" tor, Rev.

South Grey Teachers The 60th convention of the South Grey Teachers‘ Institute was held in the Baptist Church, Neustadt, Thursâ€" day and Friday, Oct. 7 and 8th with practically 100 per cent of the teachâ€" ers in attendance. The program was cne of the best, due to the thoughtful foresight of the committees, the coâ€" opcration cf everyone who was asked to‘assist, the able guidance of Miss Fau:t who was acting president, the kindly ministrations of the people of Neustadt towards the comfort _ and entertainment of the teachers and the solicitude of the church officials, parâ€" ticularly Rev. Mr. Zinz. The president‘s address on "Adult Education" gave all a fine insight inâ€" to what is being done in this line in Denmark and its results. "The New Course of Study for Grades I to VI", was discussed by Mr. J. A. Magee, bringing out the elasticity, breadth, adaptability and opporunities of the course in the hands of the able teachâ€" er. Rigid final promotions from grade to grade are taboo, and homework of any formal type is practically _ abolâ€" ished . Health is placed in the foreâ€" most position in point of value _ to the pupils, with English second. The supposedly allâ€"important subject of arithmetic is placed in quite a suborâ€" dinate position, while music and art have been given the place they long ago deserved as very important subâ€" jects, not mere frills. ] This was followed up by a report of the wonderful progress and future \ plans of the O.H.A. and the Ontario \ Teachers‘ Council, presented by Mr. E'I‘rus,,ler. field secretary of the O.E. Miss Irene Curtis, delegate to the O.E.A., presented a report of . the annual Easter convention in Toronto that was a classic, and should stir the ambitions of every teacher _ and strive for a personal share, directly in its benefits. Miss Helen Herd showed some fine vpecimens of pupils‘ art in a rural school, done by the spatter method, |uslng an old tocth brush. This would ‘be glad news to many a floundering ‘art student striving to master _ the ‘use of the regulation paint brush . Manual training, according to the experience of Mr. Morris Matthews, is not only practicable but intensely valuable in a rural school. _ Closely related to this was the use of a sandâ€" table in almost every subject _ and grade, as shown by Mr. Ross Smith. \ _ The problem of fifth classes in rurâ€" al schools was discussed by various | teachers with experience in the work | and the concensus of opinion seemed to be that, while there was a . very real need for such, it was almo t | impossible to do it all satisfactorily, ‘and at the same time handle _ the | work of the eight grades below . it. Some better plan must soon be evolvâ€" ed to meet the needs of the _ rural boys and girlks for training beyond | the Entrance, who deserve it as much as their town cousins, and yet find attendance at high schools _ almost _ impossible. The. pupils of _ Neustadt public school, under the leadership of Mr. Zinz, sang a number of German songs which entertained the teachers quite (Continued on Page 8.\ Young p for cale. Apply to W. G.

Grey Presbytery to Raise $13,900 as Allocation There was an excellent attendance of both the clergy and the laity _ at the regular meeting of Grey Presbyâ€". tery of the United church, Toronto Conference, held at the Keady Unitâ€" ed church last week, in fact almost all of the members of the Presbytery were present. . Rev. E. W. Jewitt, Division Street United church, Owen Sound, Chairman of the Presbytery presided, and Rev. A. Rintoul of Chatsworth, Secretary, Was in his place. Several new members were introâ€" duced: Rev. A. G. Reynolds, Annan, Rev. W. P. Newman, of Eimwood ; REâ€"ELECTED IN NORTH GREY Rev. L. Pickering, Hanover; K. Burnside, Holland Centre; Rev. J. R. Luncan, Thornbury; Rev. R. E. Goose, Mcintyre; Rev. A. Ferry, Knox Church, Owen Sound. There were several changes in the lay repâ€" resentation also. An â€" application was received on behalf of Rev. Evan Richards that he be received into the ministry of the United church at the next meetâ€" ing of Saskatchewan Conference. The relief situation in the West was considered and reports -showed: that at least 13 cars of fruit and vegâ€" ctables are being sent from the disâ€" trict covered by this Presbytery. Most Oof these cars are community underâ€" takings. Rev. Andrew Thomson, a TeLUINCU missionary from Honan, a native of Jwen Scund, conducted the devotionâ€" al service, and gave a very interestâ€". ing talk on the work in Honan. Mr. Thomson will visit and addre‘s sevâ€" eral charges in the Presbytery durâ€" ing the next two weeks. The report of the committee _ on Evangelism and Social Service â€" was brief, but a special meeting of Presâ€" bytery will likely be held in the near future, devoted solely to the probâ€" lems of that committee.

Support of . the plaxi to raise $40,000 extra to mainâ€" tain the brethren in the droughtâ€" stricken area of the West was givâ€" en.
