The Wiarton Canadian Echo says : Typographical errors will occur in the best of regulated newspapers. _ Last week we had one of our estimable laâ€" dy readers visiting out of town for a few days Now, as a matter of fact, it was her husband‘s trip we meant ‘o record, and that was where the error occurred. Now Mr â€" is one of those fellows who believe everything he reads in the Echo and on his return his wife had some explaining to do to convince him that she faithfully stayâ€" ed at home during his absence but he was only convinced when we assured him that the error was ours. Curriculum of Public The Three "R‘s" given Greater Conâ€" sideration in Basic Subjectsâ€"Agricu!â€" ture to be Included so that it will be used in Rural Schools. The reputation of United States justice seems bound to suffer as a reâ€" sult of the Leopoldâ€"Loeb trial in Chiâ€" cago. The two young selfâ€"confessed murderers are reported to be able to joke and laugh, likely with the idea that the millions .behind them will prevent them from swinging. If the death penalty is to be retained at all, it should be inflicted in this case and help to heal the reputation of Chicago, which is that she has a murder every day and a hanging once a year. But that mistake is simple comparâ€" ed with one a contemporary of ours made in the obituary notice of a reâ€" spected citizen when it said : "The remains were reverently borne to their last roasting place." How would you like to be the editor about that time ? A return to the "three R‘s" and to the other subjects equally well estab lished, is the plan which Premier Ferâ€" guson as Minister of Education, enterâ€" tains for the curriculum of Ontario‘s elementary schools. The formal, notiâ€" fication of such a revision, which has been intimated since the Government‘s accession to office, is contained in the Premier‘s first annual report for the Education Department. J. A. McCausland, M.P.P. in the Ferguson Gov‘t at a recent Conservaâ€" tive picnic in Exhibition Grounds, Toroto, was able to draw a new picâ€" ture of 1925 picnics. Aim of the new policy, according to the Premiers statement, is to make Ontario‘s education system more adâ€"| aptable to local conditions, and thereâ€"‘ fore more practical to the child. With | this in view the present curriculum is | being divided in two‘ sections, basic: and supplementary. In the first cat.o-f gory, which all children will be reâ€" quired to learn, are kept reading, writing arithmetic, composition, geogâ€"| raphy, history, spelling,â€"in _ short :; subjects necessary to any well conâ€"| ceived curriculum. In the second category, from which children will select, are placed music, nature study, agriculture, _ manual training, domestic science, in short, those subjects which are supplementâ€" ary to the routine curriculum and which for their successful study deâ€" pend, to some extent upon the adaptaâ€" bility of the child. The effect of the changed curriculum will be to give it a flexibility suitable to Ontario conâ€" ditions Agriculture is being included in the curriculum for the first time, and is calculated to correct in some measure, the present tendency chargâ€" ed against rural schools of educating children away from the land. Manual training also becomes an optional sub ject, available to the child suitably inclined. â€" No attempt is to be made to teach commercial subjects in the Will spoil your summer and make your company distressing to your friends unless you get relief.

DRAYTON 17, DURHAM JRS. 12 In Drayton last Thursday, the score was exactly reversed from the game a week previous here, necessitating a playâ€"off in Palmerston, Thursday, Jnâ€" ly _31st. The Durham lads feel capable of winning out, as errors were mainly responsible for the loss in Drayton. Graydon Moorhead pitched three inâ€" nings for Durham and Ab. Kress finâ€" ished the game. [ W. Institute Co. Convention Meets at Ayton HANOVER 15, DURKHAM 3 In the Senior Central series, the Knechtel Kitchen Kabinet team of Hanover, won rather handily at home last Saturday. "Yank" Young went the route as Durham‘s pitcher and Oberle was in the box for Hanover. Schutz caught his best game of the season. The Evangelical Methodist Church, Ayton, was well filled on Wednesday with Women‘s Institute Delegates to the 18th annual County Convention of that Society. _ The pretty Normanby village, situated on the banks of the lower Saugeen ‘has not seen such a display of life for a long time. Miss Agnes Macphail scored the school books and some parts of our present school system. She also exâ€" plained Gov‘t control of liquor, as it seemed likely that this measure may be brought into force. Nurse Campbell of Toronto spoke in favor of Medical Inspection of Schools. Mrs Tuck of Holstein gave a fine paper on "Aims and Objects of the Institute." for South East Grey Addressâ€"Mrs Sidney Banks, Shelâ€" burne, Federation Representative, Dufferin and Grey. National Anthem \ Delegates from Various Branches to Meet The various branches from Grey County were all well represented, some coming from Meaford and other points in East Grey. _ The program showed that the ladies had a busy day ahead of them, right from the time the morning session opened at 10.30 o‘clock, until the singing of the National Anthem late in the aftor noon. Several Convention songs were heartily sung. Morning Session Opening Ode â€" Scripture Reading : Prayerâ€"Mrs (Rev.) J. T. Moyer, Ay ton. Address of Welcomeâ€"Mrs V. Damm The stiff climb from Grimsby to the table land above lands the traveller in new surroundings. The garden aspect is gone and finely cultivated fields «abound, some of the fields in stooks, though even here much hay stil Ito save. The numerous silos visible proâ€" claim it a corn country and not inâ€" frequently fields of buckwheat appear. FThis continues on to Lake Erie and Niagara Falls. We found ourselves wondering if the depressing times farmers have been passing through was resulting in ies sened cereal production. In a few ‘places in Wellington County are fields with the yellow glare of the wild musâ€" tard, but in this respect in recent years, there has been great improveâ€" ment. ® It was our privilege last week to have a motor drive through ten or a dozen counties in Ontario and at this time of the year, he must be a cynic indeed who would not be stirred to declare that we have a beautiful provâ€" ince. The green verdure of grain and roots, contrasted with the golden wheatfields ready for the reaper, makes a picture that lingers on the memory. In a few places were fields of stooks, thick enough to tell} of a bountiful crop. Ye Editor on a Hike to Southern Onâ€" tario, finds it now at its Best The farm activity on the way was largely in connection with the hay crop which also seemed to be a large one, both in â€" quantity and acreage. W. reached Owen Sound on Saturday last from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The other brother. is R. H. MeWilliams, of Owen Sound and â€" formerly Manager of Durham Cement Co. All are delightâ€" ed to be home again and to be reunitâ€" ed with one another. e Our tour lay through Guelph and Hamilton, the latter especially a stirâ€" ring city and seemingly a prosperous one. The area included in the city must be very large and the thousands of homes in the outskirts and along Burlington â€" Beach and highway all speak of comfort and independence, though possibly the city has its unemâ€" ployment problem like other places. A new feature now appearsâ€" ditchâ€" es, which must be or has been an exâ€" pensive feature of this flat country. We cross at one point a ‘feeder‘ canal which comes from the Grand River at Dunnville and at one time was much used for transportation of goods, timâ€" ber, wood, etc., but nothing of this is done now and a few cement bridges cross it at intervals. Even as a ‘feedâ€" er‘ it is not now necessary, but a proâ€" posal a few years ago to drain it, was met with opposition and so it remains. The Ontario Motor League or some such authority, deserve credit for the way the roads are placarded to guide travellers and warn them of dangerâ€" ous turns, of school houses, ete. With due care no one can get far astray. OwEN SOUND REUNION R. H. McWilliams, formerly of Durâ€" ham Cement Plant, one of 4 Brothers who are Reâ€"united Again A family reunion of unusual interest is that of the McWilliams family of Owen Sound which bas taken place within the last few days. For the first time in fortyâ€"five years the four sons have returned to their home together. One week ago, Mr C.O. Williams oi Los Angelos, California returned and a short time ago Mr John T. MeWilâ€" liams of Las Vegas, Nevada, arrived there. The third brother, Mr George A drive along the south shore of Lake Ontario from Hamilton to Grimâ€" sby shows a garden spot of our fair Province, nestling between the "mounâ€" tain" uplands and the lake. Peach orâ€" chards, plums, grapes, etc. are seen, nearly all kept rigorously cultivated and free from weeds even to the tree stem. Cherries in abundance invitâ€" ing to the eye, are seen on the trees and at intervals on the roadsides are displays of these as well as raspberâ€" ries all picked ready for the tourist if he chose to invest. % The Beaches The shores of Lake Erie have underâ€" gone a transformation in recent years. What with Erie Beach, Crystal Beach, Long Beach, etc., what with the numâ€" ber of private residences dotting its shores the population in summer must number thousands. We are informed that shore property is increasing in value all the time and no bare buildâ€" ing lot can now be obtained for less than $600.00. Even in a year we noticed a differâ€" ence on the roads, good roads almost everywhere, but in this part of the province we have yet someway to go ere our roads can compare with the Torontoâ€"Hamilton Highway, Dundas Street Highway and the "stone roads" of the Niagara Peninsula. The extent of motor travel is evidenced by the large number of "Service Stations" for supply of gasoline, etc., recalling early days here when "taverns" were strong along the roads for a very different purpose. The works on the new Welland Canâ€" al is making of Port Colborne an imâ€" portant place. It is the intention to deepen the canal to 25 feet, possibly to 30 feet, to allow of ocean vessels to go through in days to come when the St. Lawrence waterway is simiâ€" larly treated. Re Roads AFTER 45 YEARS i _ Rev. W. Aird gave his farewell mesâ€" sages Sunday, July 20th, in the Muâ€" xlock Baptist church to large and apâ€" | preciative congregations. In the mornâ€" ‘ing his text was Acts 20 : 32 and in | the evening Joshua 24 : 15, Heb. 13 : :7. He said that it was his business to watch for our souls because he would have to give an account of his labors here before the judgment seat of | Christ. He expressed the sincere deâ€" | sire that it would be with joy and not | in grief for that would be unprofitâ€" | able. In referring to his successor he | wished him every success and hoped Ithat every member of the congregaâ€" | tion would continue in their coâ€"operaâ€" ition and achieve the best possible reâ€" | sults. of the Ladies Ald home of Mrs A. C. Mrs (Rev.) Aird Y an electric fron. A On Thursday, July 17th, a meeting of the Ladies‘ Aid was held at the home of Mrs A. C. McDonald at which Mrs (Rev.) Aird was presented with an electric fron. Many expressions of regret were voiced at the loss of such a worthy member and President. The following address of appreciation of the work accomplished since organizâ€" ation was read : Dear Mrs. Aird,â€" We exceedingly regret that the tie that bound us together as workers in the Ladies‘ Aid is about to be severed. During. the years which you have worked with us as President you have endeared yourself to us all, proving to us what an ardent Chrisian worker you are. . We are grateful that you have been the instrument used by God to organize this Society. _ You have been in and out among US, rejoiced in our joys and sympathized with and comforted many Uuring affliction and sorrows. Since coming among US there has not been a movement for the morâ€" al uplift of this community but has been helped by you and Mr. Aird. Now duty has called you to a new field of labor where new associations will be formed, new opportunities preâ€" sent themselves and while you are busily engaged in these, your memory will be cherished here by old and young. . We wish you every success and happiness and earnestly pray that you and your family may be abundantâ€" ly blessed where e‘er you may g0 and as a remembrance from this Society, we ask you to accept this gift and hope it may be used with pleasure and comfort and remind you of your many friends here.
