The convention to judge by the comment of teach- ers at the close was greatly enjoyed by all who were present. The interest and enthusiasm on Thursday was mainiained unabated throughout the session yesterday. President T, W. McLean opened the days program with a very fine address in which he appealed for a fuller sort of pat fotism, for personal and political purity, Patriotism "This year," said the speaker, 'ls particularly opporiune for the con- sideration of patriotism, thé~year in which the Prince of Wales, and Prince George with the Rt. Hon. | Stanley Baldwin, Prime Minister of Great Britain visited us, the year in which we celebrated our Diamond Jubilee. "A nation cannot rise higher than its ideals. We should encourage the conception of an honest intelligent electorate, willing to sacrifice self- interest to the good of the state. There is no greater peril than brib- ery and fraud in politics. YiWe must work to instil ideals of social and personal purity for lack of which the nations of old perished dnd nations of the present day are waning. A respect for law must be cultivated. "We are not all able to serve by fighting for our country but we can mould the lives of those who are #0On to assume the duties of citizen ship." "Inspector Hutchison, expressing commendation of the presidents re matks, said that it is the duty of the teacher to make good Canadian citizens out of the foreigners who come to our shores. The teaching profession would be more highly re- spected if the Government would re cognize this fact. Too much is left to individual iniative. C. Cannon, of Oshawa gave a very illuminating address on UGeo- graphy. In opening the subject, Mr. Cannon showed how this branch of study is linked up so 'closely with the very life of the country.

ENTHUSIASTS GET A RUDE JOLT IN TENNIS PROJECT Possibility of Joint Bowling and Tennis Club is Back Where It Started Reporter when. 15.--The os MW of the Tennis and Bowling Club were given-a rather rude shock last night when F. Howard Annes, who one week ago offered to donate enough land for the club, came before a meeting of the committee and made a new offer, tiposing conditions which the meetine thought unreasonable with the result that the project is back where it was a week ago. Mr. Annes' proposal was that the town should acquire the Hall property at once and incorporate it in the sport ground, interest charges and sinking fund deposits on the de- bentures which the tcwn shoyld issue to pay for the property, to be borne by the club. Mr. Annes estimated that the sum of $240 each year would he sufficient. Speaking at length, Mr. Annes ex- plained his reasons for advising the purchase of the Hall property, the main one being that Whitby is due to enter upon a period of expansion by virtue of which the club would soon reach proportions which would make necessary the purchase of the property at a greatly enhanced figure. The purpose of the club should be broad- ened out to include all sorts of outdoor sports, throughout the whole year. This conception of the situation would call for more land and could be real ized by acquiring the corner plot which commands all trafic approaching Whitby. In reply to a question by Mr. Good- fellow, Mr. Annes stated that the offer was absolutely contingent upon the acquisition of the Hall property by the town or the elub. The feeling of the meeting was un- animously against going to the Coun- cil with such a request. A committee consisting of Messrs. Goodfellow, Bowman, Thomas, and Cook, Mrs. Ross .and Miss Helen Richardson was appointed to fix at once upon a site elsewhere. The committee was given power to act and instructed to report on Monday night at a meeting in Mr. Brownings' veral members of the new or- ization expressed deep regret that such a situation had arisen. No one shared Mr. Annes' optimism in think- ing that the Couneil would enter into any such bargain, and as he declined to modify his demand, the only course wen was to acquire a suitable site alsewhere by purchase, at the earliest possible moment.
