â- WEDNESDAY. T)EC*£MBBR 26, 1M34 THE FLI«:S1IKRTC>N ADVANCE SCHOOL QUESTIONS ^ AND ANSWERS \ - (From the raiiiuliBii School Jniirlial.) 1. Queiition. (an a rat«|ia>rr act- ini; as ('hairinan al u pultl c mt-ctinK makf u mutiuii? . A ^ Answerâ€" I ruler ^ub^^•^•tl^lll (7) of Section 6« o'f The I'uhlic Schools Act t^the Chuirniaii shall liubmit. ull mf tions to the meeting in the inniiiici dcHiretl by the majority, and shall l>i entitled to vote on any motion, and ir the case of a tie the motion .shall Ik decluivd to be nejr»tive<l.and he shall deciile all iiuestions of order, subjoct to ail nppcdi Lo. th^-mMitiiis." WU'lf The I'i;(ilic School Acts does not state whether on not the Chair- man of a ratepayers' inoetinp may make a motion, it is assumed that h« ( . wOuld have the privilege of aKkin)> »9nieone-else to take the chair teni- "jporarily and \ius permit him, as a ratepayer, to discusH a question oi make a motion. The chairman pro tem would be the one to place the mo- tion befoix' the meeting, 2. Question. Can a (ru.siee at thi first meeting .second a motion for hiw self to be secretary-treatsurer? Answerâ€" There i.-< nothing in Tht Public Schools Act which would pre vent a trustee from seconding the mo- tion to appoint himself a.s secix'tary- trearurer or to vote on the motion tc make himself secretary- treasurer. 3. Question. If a pupil attends a fifth cl"8s in - oublic Hchool in a sec- tion out.side of the one In which h« residcH, is the ci;ijnty expected to pa> the cost on the .same basis as if he at- tended a hi|;h school? Answerâ€" There is nothing in The Public Schools Act which would i-e- quire a county council to pay for a pupil attending a fifth (orm in an- other school section. The parents of the pupil would pay the non-resident fe<! in the same manner as when the pupil Ixjlonged to one of the grades below Form V. See Section 85 of The Public" 3l-hotvls Act. Where- a public school board of trustees, in lieu of establishing a fifth form ill it.s own school makes arrange- roents for the tuition of its fifth form pupils in another school, then the â-  board of trustees would pay the tu- ition fee.«. -1. (Question. .Has a county council power to vole money toward a public Hchool which gives fifth clas.s work? Is there any limit as to what thcv may pay? .May they vote a lumii surft or make the grant on a por pupil basis? Answerâ€" Under Section 108 (2) ol The Public School Act a county coun- cil is requiitnl to pay to a rural boai'( of trustees "a sum at least equal ti that part of the legislative grant foi public and separate ychool purpoxc.- which Id apportioned to the schools in the luofhicipulity for fifth classes.' The words "at least" in the above frecTioniif-lhe .^ct would indicate timt the county council may i>ay u greatei uniount than the e(|ulvalent of the k'lfislative grunt to fifth classes. The .Act does not specify any limit to the uniount which the county council may pay in support of fifth form work. It would he quite possilile, therefoif, foi the county council to r>ay a lump sum or make a grant on a per-pupil basis providing the grant paid would be at least e(|ual to the legislative grant ol fifth forms. Hook Works Through Body, Pike Is Unhurt Pulling a two and a half pound pike out of the (ntawu River a few week.s ago, an Oltaw-a angler found to his amazement that a hook was obtruding from its belly. AVl.y amazed ? It's not uncommon to lind a fish with a second hook al- ready in it, proof that it had taken fly or bail once In-fore and then broken c\ear from the fishing line. But this case was a bit different. The body, wasn't stjtking into the pike'.'-, body, it was sticking out and only about a half inch of the shank of the hook v.as ill the fle-ih. A little pull, with almost no resistance, and the hook cuine fieo. How the hook came to be in that positiort is the (luestion. Ap- parently the answer is that the fish swallowed the hook at some time and gradually the barb and most of th( !'l>simk worked out through the flesh and' skin, -just as occasionally there have been cases in which a needle 0JXi);c(lde(l in some way in a human body has worked out at a spot iiuite i.emoto from the point of entry. What' ever had happened, the fish had beer none the wor.se for taking a hook into its interior mechanism. Bunch iif baiumas delivered to a store i'l Hamilton contained a python three feet long. That, we submit should go before the commission at Ottawa, as it is actually wor.se than putting water in the vinegar. .-Vii editor's daughter returned from Sunday school with illustrated text card in her hand. "What's that you have there little one?" the editor said. "Oh," said the litte girl, ."Just an ad. about Heaven." A Peculiar Experience (Simcoe liefoniU'i) Arnold Brown, only son of Mf.'** Kied Brown, of St. Williams West.'' m-ar Simcoe, had a harrowing ex- perience last Tue.siluy evening while <'iigagi'<l ill doing the chores on the fanu.

The cow took fright ami bolted, pulling the young- ster u') to the top of the stables. Here hfc remained for the better pari of an hoiM", the aninii-,1 all the whiU tugging at the other end of the rope which was s(|ueezed tightly arounc the boy's body.'' His mother whi lias been suffering from an illness Went to look for him at supper timt and was able tb trace him by hi.-- faint cries or help.
