September 12. \V23 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE THE Flesherton Advance \V. H. THl'RSTON, - Editor A RARK OLD PAPE8 The Advance has in iU archive* a large unmber of old newspapers, rare and otherwise, but all of more or les interest. Among the most interest- ing is a copy of the Christian Guard- ian of date January 1". 1844 almost 80 years ago and this was Vol 15, No. 13: The Guardian has now been published for 94 years anil is growing younger instead of older. But what constitutes the value of the copy in our possession is the fact that il contains a complete copy of the Act for the establishment of common schools in Upper Canada." Rev. Egerton Ryerson was the father of this Act, and we believe was also edi- tor of the Guardian at the time, itlthough there was nothing in the paper to show his identity. The com- plete Act takes up one quarter of the space in the paper, which was made up of four pages of five wide columns each. The price of the paper then was twelve shillings and six pence per year with an additional fee of four shillings for postage. The School Act contained in these old pages was the foundation for our present school system, which many people think can still be improved upon. CAMI' MEETING The annual camp meeting at Clarksburg will begin on Sept. 14 and continue over" Sept. 23. Rev. John Thomas and wife of Wilmoor, Ky., re- turned missionary from Korea, will assist in the preaching. Special sing- ing will be provided by the Maeky Sisters of New Cumberland, Va., and this no doubt will be a great aid to the meetings. All is being done to make the meeting a success. I Report Of Summer School | At Lake Vouchiching MISS JKAN WRIGHT WRITES THK KXI'RKSS COMPANIES The express companies u-e said to be again approaching the Hallway Board for permission to rai*e their rates. It is not so very long ago that the express companies were allowed to raise their rates,' and as a conse- quence there was a considerable fall- ing off in business. It is doubtful if another raise of rates would brine any relief, l>ecause the same condition of a falling income would result. It would be a sort of endless chain that would bring the companies all back to the starting point. Some other method of boosting revenue will have to be found. $23.00 FOR A Last fall a driver for Sam Riiss of Collingwood ran his truck over a Collie dog belonging to Mr. James Best of Victoria Corner* and killed it. Mr. Best considered it a piece of wan- loii carelessness on the part of the driver of the truck and sued for dam- ages. The case was postponed at a couple of courts but on Friday last it came to trial before Judge Suther- land, at Division Court here, when Mr. Best was awarded $25 for the dog. It will require the sale of ir lot of fruit by Sam to make up the loss. According to the evidence the dog was following behind his master's. rig when the truck came at a fast speed and turned in so quickly after pausing the rig that it struck the dog and placed it hors de combat. The following in a report of a Summer Schoool held at Lake Comch- iching, at which Miss Jean Wrijrht was a delegate from a Markfldale Society. It makes interesing reading: It gives me much pleasure to (five iin account of the Summer School at Lake Couchiching, and I vrish to tlnink the Presbyterial for sending me as thir delegate. I regret that 1 will not be able to put into practice in your Sunday School some of the fine suggestions which wu were given at Couchiching. However, I would strongly recommend that you send someone closely connected with your Sunday School and young people's work to the Summer School next year. I am ijuitte sure that the benefit they will receive will amply pay for the expense incurred. In fact I would suggest that at least two delegates be sent, each specializing in different departments ;cven though their expen- ses are only partly paid. Some of the Sunday Schools and Clubs raised money during the winter, and sent a SCHOOL FAIRS IN GREY This week is the beginning of the School Fairs in Grey County. This" year there are 174 schools in 19 school fairs. The number is rapidly increanig yearly but then- are some yet to enter. They are all wanted to take part. If every school was en- gaged the prize list for each and every class would I** increased con- -iderably. The people who attend the Fairs are amply repaid for the time spent. There arc many, however, who do not come that could profitably spend the day with the boy* and girls. The exhibits will be a ruvelation and your presence encouragement for the boys and girls. He Didn't Make It He thought he could, but he didn't and "this is what happened, Scott F.van* of near Blythe was on his way to a threshing in a flivver. The Huron and Bruce train was coming and he saw it, but thought he could make the crossing before the train. He didn't He was going too fast to stop and his car hit the rear end of the engine and he l:ept bumping away nt every coach that passed like a ram against a swinging gate his clawings and steps were battered and ripepd off and not until the last couch was reached did "Lizzie" give up the ghost and die. The train stopped, the remains of the bucking car was removed from the track and the train puffed away, coming off the victor even if it did show traces of the battle.

ALEXANDER Merchant Tailor FEVERSHAM, - ONTARIO number of delegates to the Summer School; and 1 think that those Sunday Schools will benefit greately by the interest taken and aroused by these delegates; because it would be im- possible for any delegaW to attend those lectures without getting a di- vine inspiration to carry on the work in their own group. The Summer School is held lit the Y.M.C.A. camp, Gonvva Park, Lake Couchiching. The grounds comprise 76 acres on a point running out into Lake Couchiching six miles from Or- illia. It is well equipped with water works and electric light. Upon your arrival you register at the admini- stration building and are assigned to your sleeping quarters. The "Wig- wam" is the most expensive place and consequently few others than the statf dwell there. The "Lodge" is the next most expensive and then the student cottages and tents. 1 lived in one of the latter. There were over 40 tents placed in two long rows which got the name of "Tent Alley." Each tent had y.ome distinctive name; ours was called "Tumble Inn," which was quite appropriate on account of the fact that when you stepped on the platform which led to the tent it in- variably tipped and tumbled you in. The tents were 12 x 12ft., on raised platforms and contained one, double and t \..i single beds. The cost of a single (i is $12.50 per week . All the bK: ug, sheets, towels (except bath) aiv- furnished. The meals were served in the large Dining Hall which seated over 200, and after the outdoor life we found the meals very satisfying. The rising bell rang at 7 a.m. Setting up exercises wen- (given by !he Physical Director on the Campus it 7.05 a.m.. followed by the morning dip at 7.15. Breakfast was servd at i o'clock. The morning session was openedby a worship period at 9 o'- clock. At a.30 the school was divid- ed into five groups for Bible study using i'or their text book "Jesus of Nazareth" by Ernest D. Burton : each group was led l>y a member of the faculty, it was my k"od fortune to be in Miss Kspey'a group who, on acount of her groat experience, made the.se periods not only bene- ficial, but very interesting. Those periods were devoted to the study of how Jesus thought, lived, worked and achieved in relation to our modern day life. At 10.25 nil the groups met in the auditorium for Dr. P. R. Hayward's lectures on how to tench religion. The text book used was "The Teacher" by L. A. Weigh Ph.D., D.D., which is part two of the new Standard Teacher Training Courve. As the title .-suggests, the book deals with the toucher's preparation, pres- entation, and application of tho lesson and the- best method for teaching' the different grades. Any Sunday School teacher who haa not taken this course would find it n great bene- fit to their work. We were then given a recess of SiO minutes in which the Physical Direc- tor tried to freshen us up by a few exercises. The next hour was de- voted to the ."pirialr/.atioa courses. Miss II. Lnine had charge of the Beginners, Mrs. J. J. En ton of the Primary, Mrs. I'. C. Hurgeis of the Junior, hep. Husscll Harris and Rev. P. Ii. May ward of the teen age boys, Miss Clara Kwing Espey and Miss May C. Gemmell of the teen ngf ff'irln, Rev. Frank Langford of the young people, and Dr. CJeorgo T. Well of the adult and administration. I aepc mli.-nl in the teen age Kir'*' work .which duals with the Canadian Girl In Training. The group was divided into three years and as I was In the l'.i5 class we studied tho "Loader", which discussed the organization and program of the teen ge girl group. For any person teaching toen age girk I would strongly recommend this hook an it showa so clearly how C.G. I.T. work may be carried on and of the grout benefit it is to our teen age girls. If your Sunday School hns not already a C.CJ.I.T. group I think you woulld find it nn inducement for the exe *id called, Maritime, Quebec, Prairie, ! British Columbia and Foreigners. , Different games were used, but base I ball seemed to be the most popular, j There were two tennis courts which were usually always busy. For 60 cts we we.-e allowed- the use of the boats ' while we were there. At 4.30 we '. swimming instructor as well as a ' physical director. Supper was ser , vcd at 6 p.m. At 7 p.m. Miss Espey spoke to Teen ' Age Girl workers. This discussion usually took place in the out of doors, either at Sunset Rock or the Grotto. : In these criods she discussed the true j moaning of being a "leader." Each i letter of the word was Rut on a diff- i orent color of the Rainbow, and in ( this way we built up the Rainbow, at , the same time discovering what each | letter signified, for example: "L" | stood for life and love, "E" for enhuse ! jcemplify, exchange and experiment, 1 so on with the letters. These j talks did much to enable the workers , to grasp the full responsibilities of being a leader, and at the same time discussed many of the problems of the Teen Age Girls of to-day. At 8.15 p.m. the school assembled for the eve- ning session. At 10.10 curfew rang and this was supposed to end the day's program, although I am afraid it was not a Iways effective. One afternoon Mrs. Purdy of the VV.M.S. spoke to the Presbyterian group. She told many interesting experiences of the mission schools out West. She stressed the point that the important thing was to get the I girls interested in missions, rather in trying to get money for them. .The examinations took place on the j 21st. . The course at Couchiching t lasts three years. On Sunday even- ing the graduation exercises of the 192;< class took place. This was the largest class which has yet graduated j from Couchiching. There were 22, and there would have been 21! if death | had not taken one of the'23 class in February. I not only enjoyed the ten days spent at Couwhiching but I feel that I have gained something which Iwill ' take with me throughout life. I am > hoping that I may be able this coming [ year to take some active part in Sunday School work. I therefore wish to thank you again for the favor ' you conferred upon me in appointing ' mo as your delegate. | Established 1890 "COLLECTIONS" If you are finding your Collections slow and trouble- someand many are then make out your List and mail it to Kelley & Aiken.
