POULTRY SHOW HAS BIG ENTRY LIST (Continued from page 1) work about a poultry show. If vou doubt it, ask secretary Carey and other officials.

Secretary Carey was not too busy however to write a letter to Hon. J. 8. Martin, a guest in the city at the sixth annual banquet of the Oshawa Milk and Cream Producers, inviting him to stay over in the city, for the show.

An. inspection of the coops, reveals many breeds of poultry, water fowl {and pigeons. The birds range all the way from the portly, red head Buff Orpingtons, to the more timid and smaller breed of bantams. There is a large exhibit of Rhode Island Reds and Buff Orpingtons, and a larger exhibit of pigeons than is seen at most shows this size. There are 74 Pigeons on exhibition, many of which are of the Homer variety. The following is a list of some of the breeds of poultry to be seen: D. White Rocks, Buchan Game birds, Buchan Bantams White Game birds, Buff Cochin Bantams, Black Cochin Bantams, R. C.

MARIE Dolly Gilbert, TEAGH MUSIC IN AUSTRALIA SCHOOL) King St. Home and School Havé Busy Meeting--Miss Hawkes Speaks The King street Home and School Club met for its regular monthly meeting last evening in the school, with the president, Mrs. George Nor- ris, presiding. The meeting was opened with the Lord's prayer, after which usual business meeting was held. Several items of interest were discussed. The Club have donated $5.00 to the Christmas Cheer Fund, and in doing this have shown, that they are tak- ing an active interest in the wel- fare of all children in Oshawa. It was decided to remew the subserip- tion to the National Geographic Magazine, to which the Club have been subscribers for some time. These books are for the pupils to be used in the school. Nine books containing the Supplementary of the Canadian History will be pur- chased by the Club at a cost of $7. These books are also for use in the school. Sewing classes have been organized, and these will commence in January. The members of the Club have gathered together a number of songs which will be printed and used at the Home and Sekool Club meetings, where com- munity singing will be held. 'When the business was completed, an excellent program was given. Several boys and girls from Miss Mitchell's room gave a number of selections which were "very clever, for the small kiddies that Miss Mit- chell teaches. They were trained most carefully and the smallest de- tail in this training was given care- ful attention. Great praise is given to Miss Mitchell for the splendid nfimbers given. A pleasing piano solo was given by a former pupil of King street school, Miss 'Morris. Two selections were given by the King street Church Ladies' Quar- tette which were very much enjoyed. Last night's meeting was to have heen a Dietetic meeting but owing to the Hospital being in quarantine the Dietition was unable to attend. This was postponed till a later date. Miss Rose Hawkes of Adelaide, | Australia, a former teacher at King street school, gave a most interest- ng talk on the Australian customs and their schools. "In the Austral- ian schools, - there 1s no religion taught. It is forbidden by the du- thorities," the speaker said. Con- tinuing, Miss Hawkes told how music was taught to a great extent in the schools. The pupils are taught how to play, sing and are taught various methods of dancing. A great majority of the schools are private institutions. This seems to_be encouraged in Australia. Very few nublic schools are open there. The 'Australians think that Canada. is a land of perpetual winter and that we are a very queer people in our way of thinking. Australia is as large as Canada, and the city of Adelaide where Mise Hawkes resides, has a population of 250,000. It 1s the smallest of three large cities. Melbourne has a population of 1,- 000,000, while Sydney has a popula- tion of 500,000. When this very excellent talk was finished, the members of the Club and Miss Hawkes, inspected the teachers' room. Miss Hawkes was delighted with the very fine up-to- date appearance of this room, which is proof of the success of the club. Twenty-five copies of the maga- zine 'The Canadian Child" "swere sold by the Club. These are 10 cents the copy, 5c of which goes to the publishers and the remaining 5c is kept by the club Other clubs might benefit by the use of these excellent magazines.
