DyU.llU. i So spoke VV. T. Tamblyn, prin- lcipal of the Junior Vocational Classes of Toronto's educational lsystem. at Kiwanis last Friday. `Naturally `Mr. Tamblyn is thor- oughly conversant with the sub- ject he chose to discuss and his re- marks had- a special signicance to Barrieites in view of the present situation of an overcrowded col- llegiate with a purely academic curriculum. . Cost Not First Consideration Cost is not the first considera- tion in education," said" Mr. `Tamb- lyn. I think that rather than de- lprive your own boy of an educa- tion you would sell your high- ipriced `motor car and go back to [Old Doblbin. But. what about the sother fellow s boy. some less for- tunately situated? It may be that he is not suited mentally to aca- demic training. The thing then is to find out to what he is best men- tally equipped, for if education is preparation for life it must change lwith the times. Study the child and put his peculiar needs as the first consideration. Children Are Different Speaker said that it was only twenty years ago that psycholo- gists discovered that there is a difference in children when it com- es to education. `Intelligence tests showed that some worked twenty times faster than others. that some were inclined musically, others verbally. academically. athletical- ly and manually, and that. more- over, the child could not be divided mentally, morally and physically. 16- `non -nr\4- nvvn-n11 Ixvhn 117nv1+_ caLeu Luruugu 'a.cuv1L_y. Mr. Tamblyn cited case after case of his own experience where boys who had been given up as hopeless in primary schools who had been termed as no good. were today holding responsible positions after a course of voca- tional training in his school.

Seitz and his sister, `Detroit, Mich., who spent several days at Mrs. Nelles tourist home and\ made Barrie _their headquarters while touring this district. although at first intending to stay over night only. The letter is only one of several similar ones received by Mrs. Nelles since the season clos- ed. .-_2L ._._ L- AJJ LL_L I New Ge11er;tiii1`1'T'P1:1nts Will Not Be Ready Until Next Year. In a letter to the Barrie Light Commission. under the signature of F. A. Gaby. chief engineer. the H.-E. Commission gives warning of the possibility this fall of a power shortage and outlines precautions to be taken in that event. A simi- lar letter, covering three pages, has been sent to every municipal- ity on the Georgian Bay system. The precautionary measures out- lined are only to take effect in case of emergency and upon receipt of definite instructions. Increased demands upon the system are given as the reason for the situation. Some time ago Hy- dro took steps to increase the pow- er supply, but the generating plants, now under construction, cannot be placed in operation be- fore next summer. Meanwhile ex- isting steam plants. producing 2.- 000 horse power. are being put in readiness for use. Due to a demand for electrical energy by the various municipal- ities beyond the capacity of the existing generating plants of the Georgian 'Bay System, and also to the fact that additional generating plants now under construction can- not be placed in operation before the summer of 1929, there is a possibility of load curtailment be- ing necessary in the various muni- cipalities of the Georgian Bay Sys- tem. especially` during the months of October, November and Decem- ber of the current year (1928). Tn V`n1;nIvn 51... ... ..:L.__L,' I V- yll\r vu; aunt. _yca.1 \1iJ40). To relieve this situation and im- prove conditions as much as pos- sible. the `Commission has made arrangements to secure temporar- ily from existing steam plants in the district approximately 2.000 h.p.. and it is expected that such an arrangement will be sufficient to meet all of the demands for power this Fall. However, in or- der to be prepared for any unex- pected or unavoidable increase in demand which cannot be taken care of by the existing generating plants, plus the aid of the auxil- iary steam plants previously men- tioned and to provide for any emergency which might arise by any accident to generating: or transformation equipment which cannot be foreseen or forcstalled, the Commission desires to secure the complete co-operation of all of the municipalities on the system in curtailing street lighting and pumping load during certain times of the day.

The various temptations to `which Jesus was subjected , he said, were illustrative of the . temptations young people have to meet today. Referring -to the specic work of the Y.P.S., he said the society was not to be a place of entertainment or simply a literary society. First] and foremost should be thepidea of. ! grounding its members in a know- ledge of the .Bible which would give them a formation that would hold against the storms of tempta- tion when they went out into the world. The importa-nice of faith- fulness to the Church and all for which it stands was also stressed. Dr. Kannawin gave added interest and force to his points by effective illustrations. 1 1\__ ,Tf_________j__ ____ _A,__L,,1, A I if When automobiles driven by- Mrs. David iMag'loughlen of Bar- rie and.

The report of the `Board of Trus- tees of t e Royal Victoria Hospit- al, presented at the thirty-rst an- nual meeting, held in the `Police Court `Chamber, `Tuesday after- noon, was an encouraging one. Hospital days for the year end- ing Sept. `30, 1928, numbered 12,- 298 as compared with 11,119 last year, 8,652 in 1926 and 10,632 in 1925. Patients were 865 as against 709 and 644 the two preceding years. Finances also showed de- cided improvement. A year ago, although there was a cash balance of $630.21 there were outstanding accounts of $1,791.82. This year there was a cash balance of $1,- 786.70 with no liabilities. Operat- ing room fees were slightly low- er, but in other respects receipts were higher, the total being $36,- 381.72. Included in this is a $500 bequest and also some accounts outstanding at Sept. 30, 1927. The latter then amounted to $3,836.75 as compared with $1,528 this year. Total assets of the hospital (land, buildings, equipment, etc.) now are valued at $131,'5*1`4.70 with no indebtedness against it. - _LL___J_____ LA rn_____1___ _____ Two excellent addresses were given. `Rev.
