FRIDAY, OCTOBER 35, 1928 ACCIDENT PREVENTION "Some months it is one thing and other months it is something different," says R. B. Morley, General Manager, Industrial Ac- cident Prevention Associations, commenting on the industrial accident situation, "This past month it has been infection cases that stood out in our records." It appears that, of the thousands of acci- dents reported each month to the Compen- sation Board, about one-tenth show infection in the early stages, This, it is claimed, is largely due to failure of men to report slight injuries, Some men seem to have a chronic objection to reporting minor cuts and scratches and too often such slight wounds have serious results because infection de- velops, Last month there were 7,032 accidents re- ported 'by industries in Ontario to the Work- men's Compensation Board including 58 fa- tal cases. In August, there were 8,022 re- ported including 41 fatalities and although the total for September is lower than the former month, there were 17 more fatal ac- cidents reported in September than during August, The awards made by the Board in September totalled $532,921.20 which in- cluded $84,965.05 for medical aid, The good work of the Industrial Accident Prevention Associations is well known among the factories and the inspectors who "epresent the various groups should be given wery consideration and co-operation, THE TEACHER IS TAUGHT a This is a glorious week-end for the public school pupils of Oshawa, and, indeed, of most Ontario, Four days of fun and frolic, three happy nights with no homework bogey aris- ing in the middle of the evening's enjoy- ment--for this is the week of the annual teachers' institute meetings, The convention of teachers of South Ontario is being held in Oshawa this year, and Centre street school, alone of Oshawa's public schools, echoes with the tramp of humans and the sound of voices, But, though their annual meet is an inter- esting relief from daily school routine, it is no indoor picnic for the teachers, They are as conscientious about, their convention gath- ering as they are about the morrow's lessons, that have to be prepared so thoroughly that Johnny's active mind cannot "stick" his teacher, And so, speakers that are leaders in their own field discuss matters ranging all the way from music to school discipline, and helpful indeed are the sessions to the edu- cational leader of today's youth who is all interested in his or her responsibility, The conscientious way which the teach- er, often bearer of chief responsibility in more than one division of the community's activities, accepts his position of leadership among youth and adult, is no better shown than in the hearty way in which each indi- vidual takes part in the discussions of the two-day convention, A consideration of the reading problem among primary grade pu- pils, a discussion of general school discipline according to the acceptances of modern edu- cational practice, the study of literature in gll its forms as it relates to the public school pupil, and treatises on subjects of interest outside of strictly educational topics, are a few of the matters that are being dealt with this year by South Ontario teachers, Perhaps the outstanding item noticeable in recent years, however, is the much in- ercased interest that is being shown in the pil. This year, for instance, the supervisor of the educational department of a large phonograph manufacturing firm is speaking at the convention on the corelation of music with other school subjects, and is giving her talk practical illustration by means of a phonograph and a class trained along musi. cal lines that may be taught in public schools. A number of "musical novelties" are being illustrated by the class of Mr. J. Blow of this city, while Mr, J. R. Seavy, of the Hamilton Normal school, dealt with the teaching of elementary color work in art. classes, and L. F. Unitt, supervisor of music in Oshawa's public schools, led a model com- munity singing class. The work of the public school of Ontario is, in truth, moving away from the old "three R's" type of education, and its field of endeavor is continually broadening. But when it is considered that, even yet, a public school education is the complete extent of the schooling available to many of the less fortunate children of the province, there will be few to utter a regret that public school education has entered upon a broader and a higher field. rae. GOLF A WICKED GAME "2, Many and varied have been the indict- ments levelled in the past against the 10yal and ancient game of golf, favorite pastime and relaxation of our best minds, Breaking up of homes, neglect of business, addiction to profanity, violation of the law at the nineteenth hole--all of these and more have been ascribed to a too hearty devotion to the links, . And now, to cap the climax, golf must take its place alongside of betting on the races and shooting craps, as a first step toward crime, .Recently a man confessed to the police that his fondness for golf led him to cash some $2,700 in bad checks, Passing most of his time knocking the pill about, he gave over most of his gainful occupations . and had to resort to fraud for money upon which to live. Thus do our idols crumble, Golf has always been counted such a re- spectable pastime, too--ministers, bank pre- sidents, editors, lawyers, doctors, statesmen, judges and movie actors--all the upper crust of society--have indulged in it, It has been the aristocrat of sports, the sport of aristo- crats, But no longer can golf hold up its head. Even playing the game on Sundays does not lend sanctity to it, It would not be surprising if, some day, petitions were presented to our legislators asking them to give up their fav- orite exercise, lest they set a bad example to the impressionable youth of the country, EDITORIAL NOTES There are too many light heads back of headlights.

Snow has mot beem advocated for some time yet, but one .mever can tell just when those little things burst upon us. It is comsiderably warmer today, but we wuold advise picnickers to postpone arrange- ments for outings on account of the fact that a ring appeared around the moon last night, Rings have a great deal to do with stormy atmospheres. Although a cool spell is not far away which will no doubt be followed by hail, snow, slush, raln and frost, the future looks comparatively bright as regards the weather, . * What a Headline SIX LOSE LICENSES the greatest invemtion of the age receives a decided impetus along progressive lines, stim. ulated by the desire of base ball fans to bring their sets up to the most modern and mechanically perfect designs, ., *. 8 While hunting has been upper- most in the minds of more than a few citizens for the past week or #0, the opening of the World's Ser- fes formally, if such an expression may be used, opens the hunting season, It is generally the custom for those interested in baseball to withhold their inclinations to go into the north landa until the great games are finished, It is a privilege restricted to a few, we are sorry to say, and our best wishes go with those who are able to take advantage of such a eplendid hunting season, lay work aside for a few weeks and go out to bag the deer and moose, * 4 9 Even little cottontail falls prey to the more savage in- stincts of man in his search for pleasure, ' JE I polish up the wheels be- tore I wipe the wind-shield off and hastily adjust the door, the Job is not so tough; the wheels I splash until the dirt is mno- where to be seen, and them upon the engine squirt, a slow but steady stream, The back seat gets attention there, but none too soon for that, and finish up the cushion where the grand-dad often sat, There shining in the sun 1 see, my handiwork complete, it stands to reason 'twas for me a mighty splendid fete; I leave the auto there to dry a beauty and a grace, and go to make myself look spry, to ride about the place, All rigged up like a king in furs, I dash out to the spot, and through my lips escapes a curse, it looks like what it's not, As rago attacks my fev. ered brain, I see beside the fence, the picture I'll ne're see again for I was in a trance and standing there before my eye, an awful sight to sce, that poor old Ford, oh me oh my, looked like it shouldn't The real estate had left the ground and gathered on the side; a goodly bit of Mother Earth" had slipped around to hide beneath the fender and above I shouted in A for all my patient brother loye had vanished to the skies, And so I' counsel friendly wife to leave it all to me and not to throw away her life by such another spree; and more than that I tell her now, don't do again a prank as lighting matches to see how the gas is in the tank, so "You must wake and call me early, Call me early, Mother dear," That was often said to mothers by the Girls of Yesteryear; But the girls now tell their maters as They start out for a spin; "You must wake up early, Mother; Someone's got to let me in". --Judge.

A. Ellis, director of the Bureau of Munici- pal Affairs, was dealt yesterday, when the Sandwich town council instructed John Sale, town solicitor, to seek special legislation for sep- aration from the county and incor- poration as a eity, Councillor Eugene Breault, fors mer Mayor of Sandwich, who spon- sored the resolution, candidly ad- mitted that the proposal was fram- ed with the idea of bringing out he vote against amalgamation at the municpal elections in January, "I think the move to separate now, while we are presenting the question of amalgamation to the people," Councillor Breault said, "4s the right move at the right time. It will bring the issue of Sandwich as a separate city, freed from the burden of county taxes, directly face to face with the posi- tion of Sandwich as amalgamated with the other municipalities. I favor it because I am opposed to amalgamaton and I believe it will bring out the vote against amal- gamation." PLAN HUGE VESSEL FOR ST. LAWRENCE C. P.
