BOWMANVILLE BOWMANVILLE, NOV., 23rd., 1922 THE EDITOR TALKS Possibly no novelist of the present time has popuiarized, himiself through his.books more than Robert Stead. What four volumes by the samne> author surpass in reai interest "The Homestaders", The Cow Pua- cher", Dennison Grant" and bis lat- est great novel visualizing Canadian if e "'Ne5ghbors",? We bhave juet finishe.d reading the last one and it bas been intensely enjoyed, and in the words of the publishers-Hodder & Stoughton, Toronto-"Neighbors" pictures the homesteader of a'littie while ago, and for sheer enjoyment of a real situation, iacluding, love, humor, pathos and mystery, it ie a delightful book. What a wranglingtime *politicians are having while the old world wags along and busines is being carried on as usual. It is very unfortunate that there should be so much poli- tical trif e among men so near the Christmas season.' But'let us re- joice that amongst ,all these up- 'heavels in Great Britain and some of hier colonies, the position of sterl- ing curreacy abroad bas been stead- ily improving, and this is of consid- erable interest to Canada, as it is an important factor in increasing hier trade with the mother country. The value of Canadian exporte to Great Britain during the twelve months ending September amnounted to 39 per cent of ail goods export- ed as compared with 31 per cent la 1921 and 25 per cent in 1920. To the rminin countries in the Brît- ish Empire Canada sold 6 pei cent of ber exports, making an aggregnte of $362,000,000: to British domin- ions out of a grand total of $806,- 000,000 worth of goodg exported to al countrîess. DURHAM COUNT-Y TEACHERS We give a f ew facts gleaned fromn Inspector E. E. Snider's reports. . In 1919 there were 9 maie and 86 female teachers empioyed-7 beid First CinesCirtificates, 77 Second, 9 Third, 1 District and 1 Temporary. la 1920 there were 96 teachers engaged in Inspectorate No. 1-10 maie and 86 female-4 holding First Class Certificates, 83 Second Class, 8 Third Class and 1 temporary. In the 63 rural schools no iess than 37 teachers changed schoo ls. In 1921 there were 98 teachers-» 14 maies and 84 females-4 held Firet Class Certifieates, 87 Second, 5 Third and 1 Temporary. Only 22 changes of teachers occurred against 37 in 1920. A greater de- crease is desirable, says Inspector Saider, adding also that considering the importance of Music in ,chbooiI am, of opinion that it wouid be a great benefit to the youth of our Province if this subject were made obligating in the Public Schoois. In 1922 the number of maie teachers increased to 17, better sal- aries being an incentive no doubt. Number of female teachers 81. Im- provement is also noted in the quali- fication of tea chers there being no Third Ciass, but 5!4irst Ciase Certi- ficates and '93 Second Class. No-w that the average salary ia al the public sehools in Durham Coun- ty Inspectorate No. 1 exceeds $1000, we shahl hope to find more maies entering the noble profession of teaching. CHARACTER THAT COUNTS By.-no means the least important part of a sehool teacher's duty je the establising\ and developingý of the rig'ht kind of character in the scbol- are.

Phone 18 day or niiglit Bowmanvillei The Electric Suction Cleane r that gets both kinds of dirt THERE are two kinds of dirt in your rugs,-the powdery Tdust and litter on the- surface, and'the gritty, germ- laden dirt embedded in the pile. The laboratory- jar-of-water test, illustrated at left, shows clearly how the Royal removes both kinds of dirt in the only way it can be thoroughly removed,-with powerful suction scientifically applied. For the Royal cleans by air alone! It has no brushes," beits or gears to get out of order or slow up its strong, cleansing air-stream. its extrrv wide, 14-inch nozzle is specially shaped to go under furniture and into corners readily, and may be quickly adjusted to any floor-surface by means of the patented Royal adjustment screw. Its light weight (barey il pounds), large rubberoid wheels, and positive oiling system make it exceptionally easy-running. The Royal is buit to give y'ears and years of service. And, because it cleans by air alome, it can neyer injure even the finest rugs or fabrîcs. If you want a cleaner that will dlean thoroughly and dlean everything, let, us give you a f'ree Royal demonstration in your own home. Judge for yourself the merit of the Royal.
