Huntingdon â€" Gleaner:â€"A stranger came into the shoe shop of Sam Lakpâ€" gie in Detroit complaining Oof a severe headache. Playing the part of a good Samaritan, Sam told the man to sit down while he went to the corner drug store for some headache tablets. Wher he returned, the stranger had departed, leaving the coBbler‘s safe and cash register empty. Checking up, Sam. findâ€" ing the stranger had got away with $205, took the headache pills himself. | The system of marking papers was assailed by Mr. Mustard, who said that | the marks received by the pupil, under the present system, depended entirely \ on the caprice of the teacher whn sets \the examinations. Mr. Mustard believed that the comâ€" ‘petit,lve angle should be removed from Ischool work. He cited instances where | parents would exhort their children to do better in order to receive higher marks than a neighbour‘s chiÂ¥ or would be content with marks so long as they were higher than those received by particular other pupils in the class. Printed reports were condemned by Mr. Mustard who believed that teachers should make it a practice to write perâ€" sonal notes to the parents of pupils periodically rather than send home a printed report. w The use of personal notes, in which the pupil was frankly and confidentially discussed might win parents to a more intelligent interest in their student children. Referring to his forecast regarding the modification or abolition of enâ€" trance examinations Mr. Mustard said that it was time that secondary school teachers were prevented from â€" hand picking their pupils via the entrance examination method. The secondary school system should adjust itself to meet the needs of the mass of chilâ€" dren rather than the few. The same philosophy that was modifying the primary school system should be apâ€" plied with secondary schools. Mr. Mustard advised the teachers in the audienrce to give their pupiis more liberty. Often. he said, he would go into | _â€"The modification or abolition of enâ€" ‘trance examinations was seen by Mtr. Thornton Mustard, M.A., B.Paed, of Toronto Normal School, speaking on ‘Friday morning at the convention of primary school teachers of the district ;of North Temiskaming and Cochrane. Mustard‘s address was the final Ihigh spot of the dayâ€"andâ€"aâ€"half conâ€" vention. The international football teams, composed of Scots and English players. who have been battling at intervals during the past soccer season, were guests of the Lions Club at the regular dinner meeting held on Thursday night in the Legion Hall.

Mr. Larmer thanked the McIntyre club which doâ€" nated a ball this year for the use of the boys in the Hollinger townsite. Alex Rose presented the shield to the Scot players and Jock Morrison thankâ€" ed the club for the shield and for medâ€" als which were presented earlietr in the year.

The Haileyburian last week had the following to say in reference to partâ€" ridge this season:â€"*"The partridge this year appear to be more plentiful in town than they are in the woods. This week we have been told of several being seen around loca@al homes, in fact tried to get into a house through a screen door. The owner of the house heard someâ€" thing scratching on his screen and found the bird when he went to investiâ€" !gat-e. In another place a pair of the birds were seen feeding on a lawn and , the observer said they were quite tams. | It is believed that the partridge which have been coming into town are of the Hungarian species, a number of which were placed in this district some years ago. They have been protected since that time and are increasing in numâ€" bers. There is no open season for either these birds or the native partâ€" ridge this year, their ranks having been sadly depleted in recent seasons." Sergcant Major Young was loaned to the Ontario Department of Education by the militia in order to go to schools throughout the province and give phyâ€" sical training and demonstrations. The pupils of BRulfafoâ€"Ankerite school were chosen at random to receive the trainâ€" ing in order to show what could be done with the pupils of a rural school. The pupils were able ‘to give the demonstration because of the training given them by Sergeant Major John Young, of the regular army who was here for more than a week prior to the demonstration. An interesting part of the programme arranged for the education and enterâ€" tainment of the teachers of the Cochâ€" rane district who convened here on Thursday and Friday morning of last week, was a physical demonstration of the pupils of Birch street and Schuâ€" macher public schools.

Child‘s Health Conference at Schumacher on Friday Partridge More Plentiful in Town Than in the Woods onvention Featured by Physical Training Show M T Ssergeant Major Young thanked the pupils for their good showing and their teachers for the coâ€"operation he had received. He said that he had enjoyed his stay in the camp and hoped to be back again next yvear. ing. The equipment used by the chilâ€" dren, such as wands, dumbells, balls, etc., was all made by themselves. The pupils of the Schumacher school have a demonstration of posture and correct marching. More than a week prior to the convention the pupils of Sschumacher public school staged a phyâ€" sical training night to display the reâ€" sults of their efforts. a charge of altering a cheque. Police say that the young man worked a short time at Englehart last summer and rccsived a cheque for $6 for his labour It is claimed by the police that the ‘cheque was raised from $6 to $60 and then cashed, after which Atkinson left \the North. When the alteration of 'the cheque was discovered effort to locate the man was unsuccessful but }'the provincial police kept up the search, |no doubt on the idea that they have as much right to always "get their man" as the Mounties or anybody else. In any case the arrest was made at and the trial will likely take ‘place this week at Englshart. The exercises through which the puâ€" pils went were similar to those laid down in the recognized Department of Education textbook of physical trainâ€" Captain J. M. Cummings, of militia headquarters, Toronto, the officer in charge of this training course, spoke to the teachers briefly before the demonâ€" stration. He stressed the need of phyâ€" sical education in rural schools, where often it was neglected. Heexplained that the class from the Ankerite was takeon at random from the many rural schools in this district ana put under the training of Sergeant Maâ€" jor Young for the purpose of providing an example for rural school teachers, who could earry on that type of work themselves if they so wished. Sergeant Major Young had the children under his care for a total of only five and a half hours. The demonstration was success and the results of t]l stration of the Ankerite pu went through their exerc smartness and precision, wer to both the assembled teache inspectors.

The North Bay Nugget had an editorial objecting to the action vof the authorities in the matter, but it seems evident that the police and othâ€" cers at North Bay took the action and attitude they did in what they considâ€" ered the best interests of the young man in question. The sequel was given in last Friday‘s issue of The Nugget when it was recorded that when the case came before Magistrate McCurry, he ordered the young man sent home to Timmins by train and his money given back to him in the form of a postal note that he could cash here where he was known. When he was searched at North Bay he had $92.00 in small bills. The night before the police picked him up he had spent at the police station, the police believing that he was unable to pay for a bed or meal on account of lack of funds. Chief Clark of North Bay asked for a week‘s remand on the vagrancy charge so that he could make enquiries about the young man. At court last week Chief Clark said that he had written Tlm-l mins but had recef#ed no reply. Magisâ€". trate McCurry considered the whole matter with all he could learn in view, and then directed the police to buy the’ lad a ticket ' him the balance of his money in postal note form payable at Timmins. ; Timmins Man has Money Returned to Him at Bay On Tuesday, in police court, Mrs. Knox appeared on a charge of keeping for sale. Lindsay, an aged and feeble man, appeared on a charge of aggraâ€" vated assault against two police offiâ€" cers by pointing a gun at them. Both charges were remanded for a week. In the house officers found a .32 caliâ€" bre revolver as well as the .38 Lindsay was holding. BOoth were loadad. A Mrs. Knox, who was in the house, said that she had only pointed the revolver at St. Jean when he wanted to take a case of beer out of the house. He had fallen and cut himself but the gun had not been discharged. More than twenty cases of homeâ€" made beer were found in the premises as well as two gallons of wine and a part boittle of brandy.
