I have noticed a great many old- fa:~:hioncd gardens, with tlzeir peren- nial flowers, througrhout the town- ship and it occurred to me that it would be a good thing if members of the Societv would make an exchange list and list roots which they can spare with the secretary.

Mr. Drury emphasized. as did other spcakers who followed him, the prime importance of flowers in building` character. Memories of flower yzarrlens have a good effect on ' the character, and the love of owers is one of the thin;-rs which make the .people in a community worth while.

Classes for Ontario, at their meeting on Monday evening, the Board of i Education decided to have the sur-I vey made. The Department bears the expense, and in the event of a class being` formed contributes to its maintenance. Dr. Sinclair prefaced] his remarks to the Board by point- ing out that classes have been estab- lished. in several Ontario town, Mid- land being one. Children placed in auxiliary classes are largely those wlzo have remained in the same grade for two or three years. In the special class book work is taught, but a special effort is made to teach the child som manual art, such as sew- ing; and woodwork, which may be of use in later life. n 1 11:1 ,, ___-,I, 1... LIDC Ill l(.I:|4CL ILLU- Speaking of the progress made by the auxiliary pupils, Dr. Sinclair stated that it was ve times as fast as in the ordinary class room. In many cases the pupils are able to go back and successfully write their exams, but in all his experience Dr. Sinclair has never found a really dull boy who made a clever man. One of the advantages derived froml ltaving an auxiliary class is that it prevents the very backward students iin cam-l1 mamln from 1'et:1rrlinQ' the: `in each grade from retarding the IJFCVUIILS LDC VEF) Ud.CKW2lL'U 5Lu(lL`.llL::'l progress of the remainder of the grade. Children attend it until six- teen years of `age, as a general rule,` and although not advisable, may stayl longer if htey wish. Dr. Sinclair ex-l plained that the Department .pays $500 towards the equipment, which is paid in yearly installments of] $100. The complete equipment acquired in ve years would cost $2500. It is not usually necessary to engage an additional teacher, but merely to rearrange the classes so that one teachers is available to train for this special work. Teach- ers specially trained arepaid $100 more than the other teachers and of this increase the Department pays $50. Whether or not a class is form- ed in Barnie depends upon the num- ber of children found by the survey to be very "backward, and upon the decision of the Board, should there! be found enough cltildren to make up a class. It was suggested that parents might object to their children being put in this class, but as ont' trustee pointed out, it was better for a child to be in the auxiliary class than to be in an ordinary class room where all other children are several years younger.

Just previous-to adjournment notice was given that at the next reg;ular meetine; a motion would be introduced to amend the by-law reg;a.rding the fe paid by non- resident pupils, to govern -present conditions. At present the fee is: fty cents per month per pupil, and] the average cost of education one. child each -year is thirty-six dollars. When the by-law was passed, about twenty-five years ago, the fee charg- ed did not then cover the cost, but was imposed only as :1 nominal sum! The question of fees was brought up when Trustee Dr. Simpson told the Board of an Allandale man living just outside the -town limits who wished to send his children to the Allandale school. He did not pro- pose to pay any fee because he is -2 Barrie ratepayer. The trustees found that the law states a non- resident ratepayer can be made to pay the fee, provided his school tax-! es, together with the fee paid, do not exced the average cost of the education his children receive. The report of the committee of the whole, which considered this matter, recommcnded that the by-law re school fees for non-resident pupils be enforced at the discretion of the! manap;ement committee. /f`,....L3.....,l .... -._._,. -....\ ( TBa1T'rie, (5n'tLrio,>Thursday,_September 11, 1924 F riday, Sfzpt. 19th.

Lewis, president of the local club, presented his report of work done by the Barrie org'an1zation, on the strength of which the efficiency award was made. Tlze report, which is reproduced below, was such an outstanding` record of efficiency that Victor Johnson, International Kiwanis President, took occasion to congratu- late President Lewis immediately` following its presentation. Barrie was an easy winner in the efciency contest and in the attendance com- petition, with an average of 84 per cent., was six points ahead of Ham-` ilton, the closest rival. The Barrie Club has a membership-of 71, and` their average of 84 per cent. means that the average attendance at the noonday luncheon each week was sixty.
