His work in Picton Collegiate has . been most commendable. Under his principalship the school has always graded among the first in the pro- vince. He has rare teaching ability, and has the yet rarer combination of `being a good teacher a disciplinarian t and yet being exceedingly popular ,with both students and staff. He had an abundance of tact and good judg- ment, very essential qualities for the smooth running of a school organiza- tion. And these very qualities made him universally popular with the gen- eral public. T Under Mr. Kerfoot s principalship therehas been e"icien'-` cy, harnionyjand co-operation in the school with the same cordial relations existing between the school, the in- dividual home and the community. Under such conditions there could be 1 nothing but progress in school mat- I r F D ` ters and the deepest regret at his departure. An In vvunwnlv A` 4-kn nf I I 1 ueparture.

The town of Barrie has a steam} [boiler and a pump for sale." T'ue{ `county has a steam furnace for sa1e,i and the g'ove1'nment has an old mili-! {tary building for sale. Why not form f 3 a three-cornered partne1'ship to pump.` out the bay for a park site? It m`.9:ht I get Ba1'1'ie t-u1ked about and give] some `one a chance to boom Barrie as ,a sum m or resort? { - u l . Economy in the administration bf} ijustice was._one of the reasons ad-1 fvanced for the appointment of dis-: itrict magistrates. In this respect the I Attorney-Genei`al s idea of economy: ~seems to be to take $1000 from the! !_people of "Barrio to increase the sal-E iary of the Orillia magistrate and addi :to the cost ofthe office theamount, `of his travelling` expenses. T E . _ I A trade Journal at hand talks T pageful aboiit how to finish an oak; {floor and dismisses the subject withi "a doubt as to what is thebetter plan.i Now, isn t it easy, and ridiculous to: the journal, when one thinks that to` finish an oak floor propeArl_v all that, is needed is to turn the kids loose; on it with roller or ice skates. ` The Attorney-Gene1'alA has inostf graciously permitted the town of Batu ! grin": to have the services of the Orilliai mag':istrate fora couple of hours` iweekljy, in return for which Barrie. Iiis, to put into the pockets of thesaid `magistrate an "additional $1000 ans-A gnuaily. This town also is given the :privi1eg'e Of providing court room, ilcierk, etc.` fr cases from_ the town ships, brought here probably because it best suits `the. mag.ist;rate s con- ` 1 ! venierice. l People throw aside medical journ- ials, trade journals, etc.-, and turn to icomic supplements for humor, when, ;in fact, these dry" pages frequently Iafford a considerable tickle to the risibles. For instance, a medical journal tells us exercise will kill gc-rms., Now at first glance that might seem merely educative. But when one starts to think of the race he would have to catch the germs be- fore he could exercise them--- well, ithink it over. In deciding to ban dancing at the collegiate, the Board of Education has adopted the wisest course. It must be remembered that the col- legiate is maintained by public funds for educational purposes. While the majority, probably, regard dancing as a pleasing, innocent amusement, there are a number of ratepayers who do not approve of it. -In view of the strong objection which has been raised, it is as well that dancing in the school should not be permitted, Promotions in the public schools are to be made this month upon the standing taken during the fall term, instead of by special examinations. _The Board might well go a step fur- ther and abolish promotion examina- tions in June and advance the pupils upon their term records. Were pro- motions thus made every term there would be no need of trying such un- wise experiments as that `used last summer whereby pupils obtaining. ov. ereighty per cent. wereallowed to skip a whole year's work- a method that places too great a strain upon the children promoted and `also has a tendency to retard, for a time at least, the classes in which they are , placed. _ It is mu).-<~.d by f(`X.l1C.X)1ing.'S0l11' \vusto T.:Ltl.eI' in the ix1to:',~'tim`.~`.
