Mc- Robie and Miss V. G. Collins, well- known local .`te'achers,, opened the program with a discussion on How much can be taught by the Phonic method in four weeks. Teaching by the Phonic method, the speakers claimed, would enable a pupil to read in far less time than by the old meth- od of, pronunciation. The Phonic method dealt`with the sounds of the different letters of the `alphabet and by learning the sounds conveyed by them and applying them to words, the pupils were able to advance much more rapidly. IC\` 1 Vvvulu uuvu Ausav Lvvvuxuau hoped that Barrie and other places -surrounding would appoint a music supervisor and teach the children music. Why? 1. Because it is an emotional art. 2. Because it is a universal language. 3.

WALLS, Munhgr' THE BARRIE SATURDAY MORNING _-._ -_.., _ L'r"*'--' V-~~ Following the supper, an hour was spent in a toast` list, which brought out a number of short addresses, in- terspersed withpopular songs taken from the song sheet provided, the accompaniments being played by Miss Bremner and Mr. Hardy. James McMartin acted as toastmaster, fill- ing the' position admirably and keep- ing things" moving without .a hitch. Benefits of the Game In his opening remarks, Mr. Mc- Martin said that itnever was as hard for young men to make good as now. In order that _the boys may be fitted I to meet the exceptional needs and] difficulties,` they must have an all- round development- mental, moral and physical._ Much attention is be- ing given to physical training. There._ is nothing better than baseball to teach the boys to be self-reliant and courageous and to develop the man- ly virtues so much admired in boys. In the junior series there was some wonderfully good ball,` and the boys had the advantage of the advice of that experienced coach, Frank Smith. Just to show the good spirit and cour- age of the boys, the speaker recalled several examples of their good work in the concluding games. If the bovs would tackle their difficulties in school and life with the same resolu- tion, resourcefulness and enthusiasm they would make good in whatever `line of endeavor they might choose. 'Much Healthy Amusement In replying to the toast of The S. S. Baseball League,'Walter Duff humorously referred to some of the tribula_.tions"of being on the execu- tive in the early stages of the league, but all such were forgotten in the enjoyment of the `banquetsthat had been tendered the winners of the two series. The league had provided much healthy amusement,keeping the boys away from less desirable things; it also had got the boys and young men into the game under church `or- ganization. If it has succeeded in keeping in touch with the churches men who otherwise might have drift- ed away`, the league had surely justi- fied its existence. Baseball thrived this year because it was well support- ed and with the new material devel- oped, should be even more success- ful in 1922. _,__,1s__- _1_- _.__..- ._--.l.. `Lu I As to the eats. they ,were right `up to the St. Andrew's standard--- and what more need be \said? The varied abundance of good things was most efficiently served by a score of ..young ladies, arid the industrious manner in which the hearty appe- tites were appeaseed was ample evi- dence of how much the -boys,` `young and old, appreciated the eats. Vlllb vi a The table arrangement was veri pretty and e'ective. In the centre of the room was the table for the heroes of the hour. This was over- hung with festoons of blue and white (the club colors) and the color scheme was carried out in the floral decorations, which were composed of white anemones and delicate blue delphiniums. Over the_centre of the table hung a ca'tcher s mask and _glove, and beneath them stood .stacked bats. The other tables were were bright with brilliant zinnias and baskets of fruit. arranged in the form of a square and" `thirty. - o , St. Andrew s Junior Baseball tearn, 7 winners of the Junior Series of the Sunday School League, were.enter- tained at a banquet in the basement of the church, last Friday night, and the affair proved avcomplete success. Those in charge of the banquet im- pr oved the occasion to entertain all the boys of the congregation over twelve years of age. In addition, representatives of the other teams-, members of the executive, and fath- ers of the boys composing the team were included in the invitation, plates being laid for one hundred and ' I Fl...

G. MacLel1an, _ presented the trophy to _ Clark, captain of the team, who car- ; ried it to the team table amid a 1 storm of applause. i Couple Sports with Church Mr. MacLellan, being called upon, said that his idea in presenting the R trophy was to encourage good, clean sport and-to see it coupled up, as it should be, with the church. All the activities of growing boys and girls should be associated with the church. He was glad to see St. Andrew's win the cup othefirst year and he hoped they would be_ able to retainit, at all times livingup to the spirit of the rules and playing the'game fairly. V , Pencils for Boys In a few words, J. A. MacLaren introduced the presentation to the team, and A. H. Felt, on behalf of the men of the congregation, present- ed each of the boys with an Ever- sharp lead pencil, with initials en- graved on` top. The boys thus hon- ored are: Alex. Clark, Ernest Mc- Knight, Kenneth McKenzie,_ Ross Twiss, Kenneth Walls, Russell Rain- ey, Ross Cowan, Wm. Tribble, Stan- le_v Caston, Jack Whitaker, Billie Whitaker, Vernon Hook, Harold Hill. `Brought Churches Together Rev. -G. A.

Byrnes, Supt. of Mis- sions, said the evidences were not lacking that the visitors `had enjoyed themselves immensel_y. He had come to live in Barrie, but apparently was still considered a visitor. His home is close to the grounds and he assur- ed the .boys' that -he would be there often enough so that they would not regard him as a visitor. He was glad the St.,Andrew s lads had.won and hoped they would keep it up. Praise for the Ladies The Ladies was introduced by Alex. Cowan. In the course of his remarks heexpressed the hope that the teams would always continue to play the game for love of the sport ---not for any monetary reward. He was sorry to see cash prizes offered for sports at the fair. Lads who ac-_ cept such might some day be excluded from amateur sport for having taken a cash prize. Baseball, he said, might be carried ' on without the ladies, though their presence was al- .ways appreciated, but they are in- dispensable in carrying out a ban- quet properly and the immense suc- cess this had proved to be was en- tirelyvdue to the ladies.

He then outlined his method of teaching, how he proceeded .slowly, step by step, with frequent reviewing, until the pupils actually became fond. of learning and of correcting their fel- `low-students when they spoke bad English. . He had taught that method to the.inmates of the Blind Institute in Brantford, and they were very apt pupils indeed, quickly checking up their companions _bad English.
