mrs armstrong helieves that music is the true mother tongue a universal tone language learned by imitation it is during the ad olescent years that music makes its greatest appeal to young people and this makes it imperative that they be made acquainted with the j best ot this period mrs arm strong is sure that if a child is ex posed to good music from the early years he can go through the various music fnds without harm to his appreciation of the best contending thnt music should always be on i school curriculum mrs armstrong quoted from the program of studies of the depart ment of education no child should miss the pleasure the stim ulation and the training provided by joining with his fellows in song there was not lime enough for duncan mcphedran cluurman of the eramosn area school board to answer all of the questions of in terest to the members it was dis closed in the discussion that it is compulsory thnt a board carry in surance on teachers and janitors and that the hoard is responsible for any accident due to negligence on the part of the board insurance on pupils is optional and the era- mosa board carries a limited pro tection of 50 per pupil this is ef fective only h the accident takes place on school property or if the pupil is on an errand posted by the teacher in a school where two or more teachers are engaged workmens compensation state the amount to be paid grants mr mcphedran said are on a percentage of assess ment basis eramosn receives a 40 per cent grant the grunt is less in more thickly populated areas and in the rural north the grant was often close to 100 per cent grants are influenced by attend ance there are approximately 523 pupils registered in the area if the attendance is only 90 per cent the grant on teachers salaries is allowed on 90 per cent only and the area pays the full 10 per cent the question was asked xvhy a substitute teacher was used for a days absence of the regular tea cher instead of closing the school and the rule applied a closed school means a drop in attendance of the roll of students text- book grants are apportioned according to attendance also a 500 grant is allowed per pupil for general supplies 300 for text books and lo0 for lijjrarv use- the answer was no to the uestion does the standard of the certificate held by the teacher affect the grants the benefits of consolidated schools were questioned possibly the scarcity of teachers for un graded schools would rank i the lop it is becoming more difficult to interest trained teachers to ac cept an ungraded school in an un known district there is the ben efit to the teacher who can do a bet tei job w i ih ne c i ass there is f course the parental object ion to the transportation children too often must leave home too early and honie too late mr mc phedran understood that this is a problem of concern that has been solved in certain areas and is one that can be solved mr mcphedran offered an inter esting item in statistics saying that there are 30000 more pupils than ever before in ontario there are 1 000 new rooms provided each year and in the four toachers col leges there are 1 000 enrolled with the loss optcachers annually due to natural causes this still makes the teacher scarcity the greatest problem eramosa was the first area to engage a remedial teacher the department carries 100 per cent of this cost mr hincks covers a wide area and the work he is doing is a step in the right direction a question that has concerned number of parents was why do we no longer have music in the schools and the answer again was shortage of qualified teach ers the business meeting of the branch was chaired- by- the pres ident the roll call was answered by the magazine i jke best and why mrs mcphedran continuing a monthly practice read from the womens institute handbook tak ing bylaws duties anp privileges of officers and members two invitations had been re ceived to be the guests of sister institutes november 14 the first one received was accepted and regret expressed at the conflicting time interesteddiscussion was pro voked by a request from the pub lic health unit forreeturihution to rental of the town hall for the clinic the core of the argument is contributing now to this service a further tax falling on just a few citizens for the service of the whole community seems unjustn- ed in the opinion of some of the
