corners joined last sunday in cele brating the churchs diamond jubilee though the present building is but 60 years old it was almost a century ago when che primitive methodists came to the district first preach ing appointment was established so years ago in a private house the congregation later moved to brooks wagon shop now part of the jarm of chris lamoreux in 1s52 the first church was e-ee- ted a frame building on land donat ed by thomas harding it cost 300 aud now used as a shed on the harding farm it was decided to build the pre sent church in the fall of 1s76 a site was purchased by mr harding from william morgan and work went with enthusiasm can be gauged by the story of the stone shipment and the forty teams when work was received that the stone for facing the building had arrived in toronto from kingston everbody in the neighborhood hitched up his team and headed for the city there were 40 teams on the road and within 12 hours all the stone had been delivered at the site ten months in the builcmng the church was opened and dedicated february 17 1s7s rev robert boyle missionary secretary of th primitive methodist church toron to and a onetime pastor preaching long sermons being then in vogue it is reported that mr boyle spoke for one and threequarter hours a slipper which followed was at tended by s00 and the proceeds were 193 giving some idea of the size of the congregation the same night 4655 was contributed to the building fund despite church union this church still hasjn front the old notice board proclaiming it is primitive metho dist church ad 1s52 present pastor is rev a e owen of unionville and formerly of ux- bridge who conducted the jubilee services stouffville school destroyed by fire 21 years ago this march by chn just sixtyone years ago the village of stouffville came into be ing as an incorporated centre and less than five years later established its first complete educational insti tution all under one roof the present school is the fourth which stouffville students have attended and the third since incor poration the first school in this immediate locality and of which we have any record was a small oneroom structure which stood on the site ot the present united church and was in operation before the time ot confederation hands classroom was torn down and a fourroom brick building was erected ou that spot in 1s94 the increased atten dance necessitated the building f a tworoom addition this school tarried on till the winter of 1917 when it was completely destroyed by fire just 21 years ago this march the teaching staff just prior to the lire was comprised of mr j hand missc wideman miss e longficld and miss a whiteman for the public school and miss k a traver and miss l b arnold for the continuation in december 1916 there passed underpaid teachers in discussing the question of underpaid school teachers in a re cent editorial the brockville re corder and times strikes a real point when it says as long as there are 5000 school teachers throughout canada on salaries of less than 500 a year the accusation that those engaged in the profession are over paid will scarcely hold water- the president of the canadian teachers federation has pointed out that according to the annual re port of the minister of education of ontario there are 3329 teicners this province paid less than the minimum wage set for girls engag ed ill factory work and believe it or not 518 of these teachers are men it is true that most of the low- salaried teachers are engaged in the rural schools but there are eight teachers in cities who are not paid more than 600 per annum 20 others in towns and 41 more in villages and the ministers report further states that there are a few women teachers in city schools paid as low as 400 per year school burned march 20 1917 following this local learning was dealt with in three separate build ings all on the present school grounds the one was a frame structure afterwards a salvation army hall which stood on the east side of the school lane directly south of the present nelson byer property the teacher was mrs millard sisterinlaw of our mrs george robinson directly across the lane and below the line of maples forming the present day boundary between the upper and lower play grounds stood mr hands small brick school room later torn down to make way for a larger consoli dated building on the corner of main street and the lane was the third building where a class was taught by miss leper this roughcast house was later moved to the eastern extremity of town and is at pre sent occupied by mr newton hill stouffville became an incorporated village in 1s77 shortly aftei m from the ranks of the teaching pro fession one of its true pioneers and principal of the stouftvilie public school mr james hand mr hand served at his desk for fortylive years thirtyeight of which wer3 spent in stouffville he began hii teaching career at the age of 16 a musselmans lake where he remain ed for two years one year was spent at 9th line markham and years in grenville county in is75- 76 both glasgow and dungannon huron county came under his tutor ship stouffvilles year of incorpora tion saw mr hand locate here per manently where he served until december of 1916r with the ex ception of a slight interval he re tired at uie age of 67 a school master whose chosen profession he had certainly served well all those who have passed through the portals of the iocs knowledge works either ipast or present must have noticed the two mr adam rosss class photographed over sixty years ago fine rows of maples on the school grounds these trees were all plant ed by the teachers aud scholars ot the school of mr hands day th majority have survived aud stand as a fitting memory to the hands that placed them there at 745 on the evening of marh 20 1917 au alarm was sent in by mr alf pugh which rang the knell on this school that had stood for over 30 years in a short time th firemen led by their chief blake sanders were on the scene aud dis covered that the blaze had originated near the backpart ot the stairway a small room beneath the stairs was used as a storeroom aud in which it is said was considerable re fuse a few shots with the hoe apparently put the fire out and many ot those who had hurriedly gathered went home thinking all the danger was past however tho flames had worked into the parti tions and thus spread towards the roof the fire swept up tho stairway and in no time at all tho whole main building was a seething mass of flames firemen were only able to save the lower room in tho west wing the building was insured for 5000 after the school had burned down it was realized that most of the books belonging to the pupils might have been saved pupils of the continuation school lost notes that had taken one- and tvo years to collect arrangements were made by the board to have the classes held in the presbyterian church basement auditorium council chambers todds block and fred nighs- wanders paint shop now the rasi- dence of bert tait in the summer of the sim yopr the present school was erected oi main street three iiousqs occupied the site at the time and two of these were moved being the present homes of blake sanders and alf pugh tho other which at one time was a store was torn down the new school with a wing added some ten years ago comprises nine available teaching rooms for both public and continu ation classes at the time of writing plans are being drawn up for an additional wing which will provide two more rooms and supply ample space to house the equipment neces sary for the new courses recently in augurated by the department of education boats are glutted so are markets its a strange thing that britain is prepared to buy 20000 more head of cattle from canada this year than we can ship because of lack of boats all cattle boats being booked to capacity for the year this information was revealed on tlie floor of the house of ottawa last week by the minister of agriculture strange we say that there are so many cattle being sold overseas a shortage of boats exists yet there is a glut of cattle in ontario the extent of which is rank ing it hard for farmers to obtain i price per pound ror the finished beast that they paid for it last fall is somebody trying to gyp the farmer or whats the trouble wood for the church the w h shaw store ioe30i there is not so much trouble to get people in the rural communities to attend church as there is in the cities that refers to men women and children we have heard it argued that there are not so many other places to go in the country on a sunday also farmers eannot go far away because one has to attend to the chores morning and evening feeding the live stock and doing the milking there is some degree of truth in all this argument but there is more to it than that people living in the country have a closer personal inter est in their church and there are a good many things which they do themselves that people in the city churches pay to get done and so miss the chance of doing themselves we noticed in the vandorf news just the other week that the men of the wesley church were holding a woodbee at the church where they were piling up a supply of fuel for future use there would be nothing of that sort in the city church where in some cases for recreation they have to put in punching bags and otfier equipment for the young fry to exercise on and while away a few hours in the evening now there may be little connec tion between cutting wood and b- ing interested in the church in a really direct way but there is r connection nevertheless the bt way to interest a man in anything is to give him something to do in connection with the undertaking at hand when men arc sufficiently interested to go and saw wood for the church and split it if necessary so that the church may be warmed on the sabbath day in winter j n may be taken for granted they are j5 going to attend the services apples vs oranges steadily lower prices for oranges in recent years and sharply reduced values this season have brought this southern fruit into direct competi tion with canadian grown apples speaking before the quebec pomul- ogical and fruit growing society rene trepanier stated that it was imperative that apple growers fiud ways and means of reducing their costs as we cannot hope to meet tho competition of oranges at 15 to 19 cents per dozen with mclntoshes sell ing at 19 to 29 cents per dozen 4240 sheep killed by dogs up in simcoe the two district re presentatives have compiled a state ment showing the number of sheep killed in the county in the past five years and the amount of money paid out in sheep bounties no less than 4240 sheep have been killed by dog in the five years period and th- amount of money paid by township councils to reimburse sheep owners for their loss totals the enormous sum of 57234 why is it that stovers bread customers continue day after day week after week and year after year to eat stovers bread there can be only one reason satisfaction so if you want a bread that will satisfy every requirement you should try stoves bread you can get it in a variety of forms in white and brown its the best but it costs no more stouffville bakery is months for tricking
