School and HomeMust Act Together for the Best Progress in Education r . "It has been found that the school cannot operate alone unrelated to the home from which the child comes or the community into which the child must fit himself in later life," saig Mrs. A. B. Silcox, Ontario president of the Canadian National Federation of Home and School, in addressing an interâ€" ested gathering of teachers and par‘ ents at the Central Schook on Monday evening. In her talk, Mrs. Silcox outlined the organization of the Home and School COlubs. She said that the Canadian National Federation heads, unites and unifics the work of all provincial federations: that the provincial federâ€" ations unify all local units in eceach province: and that the local federation is a unit made up of parents and teachâ€" ers. In Ontario, there are four hunâ€" dred and thirty Home and School Clubs, with a membership of 27,000 citizeons. Mrs. Silcox has been associated wilh the work of the Federation since 1925, and has been very active on the Eduâ€" cational Committee. The â€" Inlernational. Federation is made up of all national organizations, and represents twentyâ€"three countries, The Canadian Federation is closely allied with the Parentâ€"Teacher Assoâ€" clation in the United States. The Canadian National Federation prescribes a course which must be folâ€" lowed by the local clubs, in order that they may adapt their methods to that of the senior club. The Home and sehool Fedcration has four major aims: â€"to promote coâ€"operation with the school; to promote understanding of the systems of education; to proâ€" mote parent education; and the creaâ€" tion of public opinion to favour educaâ€" tion. The sevenâ€"point programme consists of (1) Healthâ€"health and nutrition; (2) _ Homeâ€"relationships, â€" conditions; (3) Living together in a familyâ€"the study of education in the home; (4) Citizenship; (5) Recreation; (6) Vocaâ€" tional â€" Effectivencss; . (7) â€" Character study. Mrs. Silcox, Ontario President of Canadian National Fedâ€" eration of Home and School Outlines to Timmins Audâ€" dience the Aims and Purposes of the Association. There must be coâ€"operation of home, school, and community, said Mrs. Silâ€" cox, and to meet this need no organâ€" ization is better adapted then the Home and School Federation. She stressed the fact that it is important to reâ€" member that any organization will be of value only as it meets the needs of its particular community, and attacks the problems of vital interest to the children of local schools and of the neighbourhood. LR LAAA AOC CAAA Mrs. A. A. Rose acted as chairman and introduced the speaker, emphasing the fact that the parents of toâ€"day face a great responsibility in training their children to lead useful and sucâ€" cossful lives, when the parents cannot anticipate what life will demand â€"of their children. Another imporlant point mentioned by Mrs. Silcox was that the child must lead a normal life, even in times of stress like the present. Following the address by the guest speaker, a committee was formed to study the material which had been presented by Mrs. Silcox. Mrs. A. A. fRose was elected chairman, and other members were Mrs. Roy Dunbar, Mrs. F. Burt, Mrs. Pisher, Mrs. Reddern, Mr. Transom (principal), and three members of the Central Public School staff.

Constable Guolla said that he had called on Rannino and had found two revolvers that had been registered in 1934 but that had not been reâ€"regisâ€" tered.. He then had the charges laid Bannino in his own defence said tlhiat he had registered the revolvers in 1934 and that in 1939 he had reâ€" gistered two hunting rifles. Had he understood that he had to reâ€"register the revolvers he could have just as easily done ‘that again. He had the registration slips in court. and â€"exâ€" plained that he thought he had done nothing wrong. The magistrate asked him when he had been naturalized and he told him that he had taken out his naturalization papers in 1912. He was charged with being in posâ€" session of a gold watch, the property of Nick Sarafinchen, and a pearlâ€"hanâ€" dled knife, the property of Bill Steâ€" faruk. Sarafinchen said that he had left his watch in his room and that some person had entered his room and taken it. When he noticed that it was gone he had notified the landlord and the landlord told him to tell the police about it. In: his own defence Grenier said that he had found the watch on top of the dresser in his room and had found the knife in the hallway. He had intended to keep them, he said, if no‘ one showed up to claim them. His record was then read by the Magâ€" istrate and he said that some of it was right. Bill Stafaruk then identified the knife as his and said that he had lost it on the previous Sunday. Magistrate Atkinson theu seutenced Grenier to six months on each charge with the terms to run consecutively. R. Bannino, who was charged â€"with having failed to reâ€"register two reâ€" volvers in 1939, had his case adjourned till calied upon. â€" The two revolvers were ordered held till after the war.

Magistrate Atkinson read his record that consisted of eight previous convictions and sentenced him to three months. Leo Poirier had a charge of attemptâ€" ed theft by trick against him dismissâ€" ed and Jean Damour had a similar charge against him withdrawn. The charges involved the attempts to pass a twenty peso Mexican bill.

He had sent him into the store to purâ€" chase a pipe. 4 The defendant on the stand told the same story that he had told to Constable Gagnon and added that he had later helped the police by telling them where they could find Dubeau. He said that when he came out of the store he had returned the bill to Duâ€" beau and fold him that it was no good. Magistrate Atkinson dismissed the case, saying. that Poirier evidently didn‘t know that the bill was worthless when he had first got it and that when he had found out he gave it back. After that he had helped the police to locate the man who had the bill, so he dismissed the charge against him. at the counter what appeared to be a twenty dollar bill. As a bill of that denomination has to be changed at the office the girl had rung for the manager and he had taken the bill to the office to change it. Before he did change it, however, he noticd that it was worlthless and brought it back to Poirier. He asked where he had got it and Poirier had told him that it was given to him in his pay. He then told the lad to go and give the bill to the police and they would get his money for him. He followed the man out of the store and when he saw that he was not going near the police station he went and told the police himself, The crown then withdrew the charge against Damour because it was simi~â€" lar set of circumstances as the other case.
