Collingwood has decided to hold an open forum once every (hres months when the ratepay- ers and councillors can come'to- gether and discuss municipal affairs. This is an excellent idea.

Besides, the peal industry gave omploy- ment ta some 50,000 people in Denmark and provided a_ large revenue for the state railways. Ontario's peat fields are not of quite the same mposition as Denmark's and may not be so easily worked, yet the experi- ments already made are suffic- iently encouraging to warrant generous assistance by the gov- ernment fowards 'the develop included.

The magnificent response made to the appeal of the Pro- testant churches in the great In- ter-Church Forward Movement has heen an inspiration to all those interested in church work. Canada's otal objective has al- ready been passed, though many congregations have yel to he heard from. In this great for- ward drive, the churches of Barrie and district have done their part well. For some of these the ob. jectives seemed particularly high yet all went forward undaunted and the desired result was accom- Plished. A feature that/has been especially encouraging and grat- ifving is the general response that has heen made by the great body of the people composing the communions participating. Un- doubtedly there are a dozen men in Canada who could have contri- buted fhe whole sum asked for, Had the fund been raised in this way the churches of this country would have profited little as com- pared with the benofif that must accrue to the spiritual life of the cburches through the share the membership has had in this great forward movement. In his annual report on the schools of Owen Sound, Inspect - or Burgess gives much interes! ing information. Notwithstand- ing the growth of the town's pop- ulation there has been a falling off in the number. of. children. at school. In {917 the total regis- tered was 2507; in 1918, it drop- ped to 2406, and last year it was 2. The average altendance of those registered was a liltle over seventy percent. in they three years. Mr. Burgess points out that ir ular attendance is one f the most serions forms of school waste. "Assuming thal the expenditure this year on the schools is $66,000, and the al- tendanee &5 per vent. of enrol- ment," he says, "the money loss is over 810,000, in addition to the more xerious losses to the children which cannol be mea- sured in dollars and cents. We can never expect full attendance, but I feet certain that half. the pupils' absences are not really necessary. Children are kept home in too many cases upon trivial pretexts, Some payonts think that an oceasional day, or even a week's absence makes no difference. In such cases the child can scarcely be blamed it his own standard of the value of the school is. lowered. 'The par- ents will be held mainly respon- sible for the loss to the child through irregular attendance." The average cost per pupil en- rolled per year for three years is for 1917, $19.00, for 1918, $25.60, for 1919, 828.72, while the aver- age cost for the province is for 1917, $27.53, for 1918, $27.96. ene Sa Mother of: Mrs. H.
