Truscott, inspector of Pablje | schools for South Frontenac, present- | ed his report to the County Counell| at its Friday morning session, it showed that of the 100 'teachyrs in [| his inspectorate, 92 were temales | and eight males. During the year | two teachers enlisted with the 1asen (ff Battalion and are overseas. There is! an increase in the number of teach-| ers with professiondl training. The | highest salary paid last year was $800, and the lowest $300. The! average ay for the {nspecterate | was $518. "Every school bas a 1ib~ | --. The number of pupils enrolled Ys 3,075; average attendance, 1. 636. 3 Inspector Truscott complained of the = irregularity of attendance of children, particularly in No, 12 Hed- ford, where it was only twenty-one per. cent, and in No, 14 Loughbero, where it was bfit twenty-eight 'per cent. Only ond rural school, No, 15 Bedford, had a truant officer last year. The inspector urged that a' county truant officer be appointed at a-small salary, and suggested the high @unty constable or the Chil- dren's Ald Inspector for the position. The inspector' reported that the progress made by the county pupils generally was very satisfactory, es- pecially when the teaching condit- long are considered. He stated that the éxpenditure in a township could be more equally distributed if the | schools were in charge of a township Luard of trustees instead of local boards. School fairs are held in all the townships but Bedford and Hinchin- brooke. The inspector tried to in- duce a few of thé teachers and hoards to introduce the teaching of agriculture into their schools, but was unsuccessful. Household science is not taught in any of the schools. Physical culture and art are being better taught in schools than they were formerly, largely owing to the number of recent graduates from the model and normal schools, In music, where the teacher is capable, the pupils are.taught rote songs, Patriotic Fund Committee, In order to administer the county patriotic fund without expense Councillor Spankie moved, seconded | by Councilor Wensley that the Couns ell rescind the appointment of a committee of five, made on Wednes- day, and appoint Clerk J.

Truscott, as members, and aléo the members of | the council as honotary members,' and that all give ther services free, | i except the secretary-treasurer. | Councilor Spankie said it cost $230 last year to administer the fund.
