This may be a cup of cocoa, a bowl of soup, or any other dish served hot. The children eat their diner in an orâ€" derly manner, and take their time.

It is hoped to hold an additional fair to include the district around Smithville. HOT LUNCHES AND HOUSEHOLD SCIENCEK An effort was ‘made during the past year to have Household Science taught in our schools, and also to have a hot lunch served at noon. Many reasons could be given why girls should be taught the elements of household science in public schools. If education is a preparation for life, it is evident that household science is one subject that should be on the proâ€" gramme of studies. MEDICAL â€" INSPECTION AND CLINICG v ~The schools of Port Dalhousie and of Nos. 1 and 3, Louth, were medically inspected by Dr. McKenzie Smith angt Miss Campbell, and afterwards a very successful clinic was held at the Parish Hall, Port Dalhousie. Fiftyâ€" seven children were ‘operated on for diseased tonsils and adenoids and the work was very successful. This work was carrie® out under the auspices of the Worgen‘s Instiâ€" tute, and the inspecting doctor and nurse were supplied by the Educa. tion Department. The Women‘s Insti. tutes are to be highly commended for carrying this work to such a sucâ€" cessful conclusion. It is to be hoped that similar work will be undertaken in other parts of the county. SCHOOL FAIRS There were seven school fairs in the county in 1920, all of which I atâ€" tended. The fairs were held as folâ€" lows: & Niagara Township, at Queenston. Grantham Township, at No. 2 school. Louth Township, at Fairview school. Clinton and North Grimsby at the Thirty school. Vineland District, at Vineland. | Gainsboro Township, at Bismark. _ Caistor Township, at Abingdon. These fairs were veryâ€" successful and were fortunate in having fine weather. the increase in the ni teachers. There are teachers in the county with 13 last year. The majority of our teachers are doing satisfactory work. There is a& marked tendency during the past! year for boards to retain the services 0f experienced teachers by increasing their salaries Trustees are beginâ€" ning to realize that a change o% teachers means a loss of time to the pupils, and in most cases an effort was made to retain the services ot successful, experienced Seachers, There are still too many changes of teachers, especially in the rural disâ€" tricts. In this county 45 teachers changed at midsummer and 17 at New Years. That is, there were 17 less changes during 1920 than during 1919. __One effect of the higher salaries, and the return to peace conditions, is I am of the opinion that the govâ€" ernment grant on accommodation and equipment should be increased, as an inducement to trustees to improve and beautify school buildings and grounds, and that a higher standard should be obtained. TEACHERS‘ WORK AND CHANGES ' During the past two or three years I have been trying to have the accomâ€" Imodations improved, and have laig particular stress on the interior of the school buildings. In many schools the old wooden or plaster blackboards have been replaced by slate. In nearâ€" ly all the schools the dark opaque window shades have been replaced by light semiâ€"opaque shades, the heatâ€" ing has been improved, and the ventiâ€" iut‘on system attended to, go as to enâ€" { sure a supply of fresh air. About two. thirds of the rural schools tave had walls and ceilings repainted in light colors, which do not absorb the light. This makes it much better for the pupils‘ eyesight. & I intend to make a special effort to have teachers and trustees improve the exterior of the buildings and the school grounds. We are all familiar with the old school grounds with no trees, no flowers, and a generally bare and uninviting appearance. Pupils are very much influenced by their surroundings, and a neat, cheerful, school room, and a school ground with trees, schrubs and flowers, canâ€" not fail to exert a silent influence which will be very far reaching. various _ problems discussed. With this end in view two meetings were arranged for, one at St. Catharines and one at Smithville. To these meetâ€" ings all trustees and other interested in schools, were invited. A Trustiees‘ Associaion for East Lincoln was formâ€" ed at St. Catharines, and one for West Lincoln at Smithville. Meetings of these associations are to be held soon and discussions will take place on educational matters, and it is hoped that greater interest will be created in school affairs. various â€" problem this end in view arranged for. on IMPROVEMENT IN BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS INTERETING R:?201T (Continued from THEâ€"INDEPENDENT, GRIMSBY the number of male ~are now 17 male at Vineland. ip, at Bismark. at.

During the year I paid a visit of the length required by the regulation to every school in the county. I also made special visits in June to 22 schools taking agriculture, and special visits varying from a few minutes to half a day to 33 schools.â€" I attended five meetings of boards of trustees, 11 meetings of ratepayers, two meetings re consolidation, three meetings of Trustees‘ associations, seven school fairs, one fall fair, one arbitration re school site, one opening of new school in Merritton, one meeting of township council and one school examination.
