Barrie Collegiate will have one more male teacher on the stuff when school re-opens after the summer holidays. The Board of Education has decided that the present num- ber, three male and nine lady teachers, is insufficient, and at the regular meeting on Monday evening decided to engage another male teacher.

MILLER SPEAKS , 0N ISLAND EMPIRE; l Australia, sometimes called the Island Empire, was the subject on which John C.

In the course of his remarks he made frequent comparisons between Canada and the Island Empire, pointing out features of the Aus- tralian immigration and penal polic- ies, which might well be adopted by Canada. Mr. Miller strongly favors the exclusion of all Orientals and Central Europeans from Canada, as is done in Australia. He pointed out the superiority of the Australian penal system, which makes all prisoners in for more than ten days work for the Government. Despite the fact that the Labor Government lof the Island Empire had done much lfor the working` man, Mr. Miller be- lieves that the ambitious workman is much better off in Canada. nu 1 1- -11- 1 |.-...uu....-... u a.\avv vuuau ubv. uAu\.I| v\.uu\,L uu Au uuuuuu.

The contin- ent did not present any alluring lpossibilities to the Dutch, who did not attempt to colonize it. In 1778 Cooke, a Britisher, rediscovered and claimed the island for England. Fif- teen years later England began send- ing convicts there. It was pointed out b_v the speaker that of the con- victs sent out only a few were crim- inal. the great majority being: poli- tical prisoners whose views did not concur with the opinions of those ir power. To-(lay their ideas, such as enfranchisement of all men, would be thought conservative. The con- vict settlement soon became a good colony, while at present Australians are most devoted and loyal British subjects. lwnnv nnfefnnrlinrr `mun rnsr SUUJCCLS. _Man_V outstanding men rose through oppression to prominence.

The speaker strongrly upheld the immig.-"ration policy instituted by the Labor Government, and since on- dorsed by other parties in the Island l'Im;)ire.

Althougli the British Parliament rules that nc colon)` can close its doors to other British subjects, provided they come direct from their homeland, yei Australia not around this by adopt- ing an educational test. For in- stance, a Hindu would be asked to translate some Hebrew or Greek or Latin and being unable to do so, would be barred entrance. Quality rather than quantity is desirable in emigrants, declared l\Ir. Miller, who pointed out that even the Ar_e;entine had more rigid immi_2`ration laws than Canada.

An interesting ceremony took. place at the Children s Shelter on Tuesmlay evening", when a bronze tab-, lot was unveiled to the memory of, the late Nicholas Cotter. The Chil- s Aid Society had a_ true friend! in Mr. Cotter and few in the County,l if any, have done more for the un-I fortunate children.

It was ai work that was bearing fruit and: would continue to do so. Reference was made by Mr. Sarjeant to other citizens who had taken deep interest, in the work, the inspector, Mr. Jus- tice, in particular, was giving hisl very best to the cause. Mrs. Cameron, ` who has taken a deep interest in the- Society since its inception, was ask-, ed to unveil the tablet. ` The president then called upon` Mr. Donald Ross, a true friend of the Society, to say a few words. Mr. Ross said that he had been interest-` ed in the Children s Aid Society for P the last twenty-five years. When .rst the Children s Aid Society Act; t. was passed there was much opposi- |_. tion and the movement was bitterly 3 opposed, as many thought the san- tity of the home was being attacked. It was a long time before the people of the County took any interest in the work. At first the children were kept at different homes in town with V` varying` degrees of success. Then the late Nicholas Cotter, who took a deep interest in the work, donated a valuable home to the Society, and the great change took place. The County Council was approached by the Board, but at first the cause did not appeal to the Councillors. When I it was impressed upon the Reeves of I the various townships that the municipalities would be relieved of l the care of their neglected children very generous grants were given and have been continued since. When the home donated by Mr. Cotter be- came inadequate, he purchased the house and made a generous dona- ` tion to the Society. It was tting , that this inscription plate be placed ` in the shelter to the memory of one who had done so much for the chil- dren. It is an important work. There are now 19 children in the Shelter, and cared for. We should think of those who are less fortunate than ourselves. Every human being has a right to a ghting chance to make good.
