Collingwood Bulletin--According to a report pre- sented by the Principal, Barrie Collegiate Institute has a number of students which he characterizes as dead weight." In other words he says they are going to school as there is nothing else to do, sort of hiding their time until they can secure work or a position. He wants them refused admission and has submitted to the Board of Education a plan for their elimination whereby at the end of varied per- iods, if set standards have not been reached, the door will be hanged in their face and a no admit- tance sign hung on the outside. To teachers, stu- dents who may be classed as sluggards are no doubt a worry and more or less a detriment in carrying on their work. But just where a Board of Education would find itself were it to approve of any regula- . tion whereby a pupil might be kept out of a tax sup- ported school simply because he did not keep pace with` others in the classes is difficult to state. The probability is that the taxpayers would be heard from in no uncertain way. Principals of collegiate institutes, as in other activities have to take the good with the bad and meet situations as -they come day after day. `There can be no utopia in education- 3 al matters any more than in other walks of life. If there is dead weight in a school, the teachers have to take it with the live factors and make the best of it. To adopt a course such as suggested by the Barrie Principal would appear to be a decidedly drastic if not dangerous precedent. Our schools are open to the children of the people who maintain them, at great cost, and as long as misconduct does not give cause for suspension or expulsion the young people must be privileged to attend. Recent remarks by Miss Agnes Macphail on housework elicited a sharp criticismfrom Mrs. Dawson, editor and publisher of the Parkhill Gazette. Mrs. Dawson, who has the true home- maker s viewpoint, said: Miss Agnes Macphail, M.P., in a speech before the Lions Club, Otta- wa, said `I detest housework. What a gospel for the woman who represents the hard-working farmers wives of South Grey! Housework! To minister with loving hands to the loved ones in a home, what can be finer or better worth do- ing? To make a few people comfortable and happy. To keep a house fresh and clean and dainty, surely this is a task great enough for any woman. To make a home! There is no career or fate that can compare with that of being a home-maker. Miss Macphail seems to be ill- advised in her attitude toward woman's funda- ` mental occupation. duty if it did not enter a word of rotest con- cerning the deplorable condition 0 the town's streets and sidewalks during the weeks of~the Grand Lodge and Motor Show. Now that both events are, over it can safely be said that this i feature detracted materially from the success of both. That is putting it very mildly. It is quite true that in late winter we experienced an al- most unprecedented snowfall and for that rea- son conditions were worse than they are during an average spring, The Examiner's point is that no extra effort was put forth to meet an extra- ordinary situation by the town authorities. The Collingwood Bulletin is of the opinion that Mr. Girdwood s proposal to bar students who failed to pass their exams. within a cer- tain time could not be enforced as any rate ay- er has the right to send his children to sc 001 as long as he wishes. This may be so. Neverthe- less we believe that action along the lines sug- gested by the principal -of the B.C.l. would be in the best interests of both parents and stud- ents. Any student who cannot meet the require- ments suggested is wasting his time in school and his parents money. Where failure is due to indifference or indolence the student is acquir- ing lazy habits very detrimental to his success in life. Such students would be far better taken out of school and put at some useful occupation. l Mr. Girdwood s Plan Too Drastic OPINIONS OF OTHERS gm-:w PENALTIES ADDED i To LIQUOR CONTROL ACT It may be more difficult at next year's session of the Legislature to get information regarding the sale of liquor, by stores, under the L.

Attorney-General Price on Monday at Toronto brought down to the House some amendments to the present law which are of a minor nature only, but whichprovide the Hanna Con- trol Commission with power, if they desire to exercise it, to ``bulk` the returns of the various ishops in their annual statement ;instead of detailing them individ- ! ually.

While this will he a big help to the hospitals, the new rates will still be considerably below the average per diem cost. uuuy. Another amendment tightens ,up the disqualication clause of the present act. It provides that if an offense is committed by any ,member of the family of the oc- icupant of a house, that house shall cease to be a place where liquor may be kept legally for a 'period of one year. ' \ To the act has been added a .subsection, covering the consump- tion of patent medicines or es- sences for beverage purposes. It reads: Any person who obtains or consumes for beverage purposes any of the products mentioned in Section 62 or 63, or who obtains or consumes for such purposes any of the -products mentioned in 'Sec- tion 64 shall be guilty of an of- fense and liable to the penalties prescribed by Section 103. (This section provides a minimum fine of $100 for first offense and a maxi- mum penalty of $1,000 and im- prisonment for any further of- fense.) ' an on: .- :Section 80, providing that liquor must be kept in bottle in which it was purchased, is amended to pro- vide that the ' Government label must remain on the receptacle un- til the Iiquor is consumed. ,, -.-. . u uvnvavvuo '.;.rt:~at owrred by J.

I Joining the Barrie Rifles, No. 1 Co., under the late Col. McKen- zie. in 1862, Mr. Sibbald helped} build the old armour-ies on Mu1cas- ter St. The company drilled on the ; street for the most part. The Civ-3 il War was on in the United States } and the times were stirring indeed. . Several times when Britain threat- ened to become involved the call for more volunteers went out and the Barrie Rifles were nally or- dered to the front in December, 1864, at the time of the Fenian Raids. The unit spent the next four months on the Niagara fron- tier. Mr. Sibbald sold his Fenianl Raid Farm of 160 acres in Nor- thern Ontario for $75, put the money into the old Wasika mine up north and lost all. The farm was in the clay belt and is worth big money today. T :lnn - can nnvsnk nknnnn in U1` IIIUIIU HUME]: I don't see much change in things." Mr. Sibbald said. The world is just that much better and that much worse, according to the increase in population. Of course, science has made vast strides, but thatwas to be expected.
