Oolborne High School teaching staff are fully qualified and prepared to instruct in all departments, including Upper School subjects. Mr. Baxter. the new assistant, attended a summer course in the subjects to be taught by him. Colborne Public School starts with the same staff as last term. Mr. Quinn took a special summer course1 in manual training and is now fully qualified to instruct in this branch. Speckled Trout Season Extended to September 15 The open season for speckled trout in Ontario has been extended until September 15. The Department feels that the Provincial hatcheries have expanded their program to the point where now their annual propagation and subsequent restocking of lakes and streams with this species of fish can well justify the two weeks extension from August 31.
