Going to a box in the tent where he kept his money, he took from it a roll of bills and need off two, which -he proffered Mc amee. Somewhat later Barr went out to play football and on returning noted that his box was not as he had left it McNamee was in the tent and o ered his assistance to locate the missing -funds. He walked to.the box, put his hand into it and exclaim- ied, Why, here `is your rnoney! Corporal Barr` was surprised. `He thought he had thoroughly searched thebox himself. However, he was glad to get his roll back, and said nothing. It occurred to him. to count the money. There washten dollars, a crisp new Bank of Commerce note, missing.

Some of the classes were not very well attended last year, though the total attendance was very fair, and the point was raised that it was a somewhat unwarranted ex- penditure to continue. The opinion of the majority of the members was in favor of carrying on, and with that end in view a committee was appoint- ed to investigate and report back to the -Board which of the old classes it iis advisable to continue and to sug- gest what new` ones might advantag- eously be formed.

The cost of equip- ment, the teacher s salary, how much the Department will pay and all other details will be `delved into. It will not be possible to institute the class before Christmas. It will be re- membered that over a year ago Dr. Sinclair, from the Department, ad- dressed the Board, urging that a sur- vey of the Barrie public schools be undertaken to nd out if there were {a sufficient number of pupils who [would benet by the class to make its inauguration advisable. The survey was made and the result showed that twenty children, four more than the lmaximum `number allowed in one lclass, would benet. `The matter of starting the class was considered last spring, buf was laid over to be fur- ther gone into in the fall. There is little doubt but" the class will b started in the new year. Most 02 the trustees `are very enthusiastiu about the possibilities of such : training for those children who have little success with the three R s but who have mechanical or other talents. They see in the auxiliary class a_means to develop that talent which would" otherwise lie dormant, much to the child's disadvantage. One trustee was of the opinion that there would probably be strenuous objection on the part of some par- ents to having their `children includ- ed in the class.. l"...-._L....

In places where the classes have been started the parents of the children are its strongest supporters. They, more than anyone else, see that the child is learning to do some- thing in the mechanical line where previously he was able neither to use his hands skilfully nor to master or- dinary school work. There is the further great advantage that the child becomes greatly interested in what he is being taught to do. Fr11cI>nn Q4-nnlnnnm -l-'n*'I+ 4'lnn6- H... anal. ucu. Chairman Sarjeant was in favor of continuing. He pointed out that the main object of the classes was to teach the older boys and girls who I had left school; vvu.1 UC Ulllaallltill. ` Trustee Stephens was inclined to think that the cost of maintaining the classes` was too high. He questioned whether there were enough attend- ing some of the classes to make the expenditure justiable. Trllafnn n10l\!'l|+I\~u nn1rn:-I &LnL LL`
