The attention of the board was _ drawn to the trend of action by Trustee A. ¥. Anms, who wished to present the report ot the special sub-committee appointed to inquire into and recommend ways and means of reducing educational costs in. the city. However as there was not a majority representation of the members ot the board on hand 1t was decided that the committee would only report progress at tne present time, as it was felt that a {ull personnel of the board should be present when it was discussed. Trustee Annis stated that a spe- cial meeting of the committee had been held on June 21 at which a lengthy discussion took place with a lar~e number of suggestions being put forward. Some of these had been given special consideration and it was proposed that they might be taken to the provincial department of* education for ratification, 'Lrus- tee Annis pointed out that the pro- posed measures would reduce the capital cost of education in the city without materially reducing the quality of the education of the children farther than was necessary. He said that if any or sume of the measures were found to be feasible that they would produce some hard- ship on the children and the par- ents. It was his opinion that the people of the city should be made aware of the proposals sp that they might appreciate what wag being done to reduce capital expenditure and at the same time lend their co-operation to the board in making them possible. it was pointed that the report, which had been prepared following the meeting of the special commit- tee, was not a final one and none of the proposals contained therein had been finally decided upon, but were rather for the consideration of the board as a whole. 'lrustee Annis stated that perusal of the report would reveal that the board was wholehearted in its effort to reduce educational costs, and he felt that the report would act as a forerun- ner or warning that the people of the city may expect something of a drastic nature. However the pro- posals that would be submitted to the provincial governing body would depend largely on two things, Namely, the relative financial posi- tion of the city and the board or edudation "in September, and the number of scholars who presented WILL TAKE PART RT.

Trustee Swail rcporied that there was a balance afer all acgounts had been paid of $170 which was most pleasing to the board. C. F. Cannon pointed out tu the members that this year the music of an orchestra had not been secured and that an orches- tra of the children played for t'e festival. These children had practiced diligently for a long period and had given of their time unstintingly.. He felt that their efforts should not go unre- warded. He also spoke very highly of the time and energ: de- toted by Mr. Richer in the train- ing of the children and stated that bered. The whole matter was left in the hands of a special committee who may organize a picnic for the orchestra and have under advisement the drafting ot the formal thanks of the board.

Trustee Annis remarked that no final decision would be made until these two factors were fully investigated in the fall. Trustee Anderson asserted that the proposals which had been plac- ed before the special committee were well worth consideration, and he felt that with the securing of the co-operation of the parents and the department of education consid- erable money could be saved in Oshawa. The proposals were such, the trustee stated, that the actual educational standard would not be lowered and in the long run raise the general standing of education.

The speaker was Prof. R. O. Hurst, of the Ontario College of Phar- macy, who made a very pleasing impression with his explanations of the relative values of vitamins in diet, and his entertaining man- ner of presenting his subject. The meeting - was the last tc be held under the presidency of Dr. 8. J. Phillips, who, on July 1, steps down, to be succeeuea by Dr. G. L. Bird, as president of the club.

Brown and a reading by George Fleming, were well-received items on the program. Guests at the meeting were Lionel C. Wood, Gordcn Smythe, and Cyril Souch, of Osh- awa, In opening hie address, Hurst said he had chosen ihe subject of "Cod Liver Oil" bpe- cause recent research had shed a great deal of new light upon it. This was because of the fart that it had been found that it contained certain vitamins in highly concentraed form, .which made it 'a valuable factor in health development, and of the studies which had - brought to light the various vitamins which have since heen discovered. me explained the qualities and fuue- tions of each of the vitamins as follows.

Annual Meeting of Associ- ated Welfare Societies Favors Principle of One Central Organization to Administer Funds SOCIAL SERVICE WORK DISCUSSED Meeting Unable to Reach Decision Regarding Funds--Reports of Ac- tivities Presented and Officers Elected The annual mee ; of the ! ated Welfare Societies, held in the city council chamber last night, with the president, Alex G. Storie, in the chair, definitely went on record being in favor of the establishment of one central organization to ad- minister relief in the city of Ush- awa, and decided that in the event of an organization up, 1t would not continue to lief ever, as such being set Zive re- On the further question, how- of whether the organization wonld continue to do social welfare work, the issue was left rather be- clouded, After much discussion on this point, a motion was finally car- ried that welfare work would be continued so far as the funds will This led to a further dis= cussion as to the disposal of the funds now in the possession of the society. The recommendation of the directors was that all funds remain- ing after debts had been paid be turned over to the proposed central organization and a resolution was moved that this recommendation be concurred in. An amendment was moved, that ninety per cent of the funds be handed over to the new relief body, and the balance of ten per cent retained for welfare work, This amendment was defeated, only nine persons standing.up in support of it, but when the motion to handle all the funds over to the new or- ganization was put to the meeting, it was also defeated, and it seemed as if a deadlock had occurred. Fin- ally a resolution was adopted that this question be referred to the in coming executiye, with power to act, Thus, while it has been decided to discontinue relief work, and to sup= port the principle of one central or= ganization to administer relief in Oshawa, the question of the disposal of the funds of the welfare societies, regarding which a direct question had been asked by the city council, still remains unsettled. Officers Elected In view of the position of affairs, the election of officers resulted in the old board being, to a large ex- tent, returned to office, the only changes being *"¢ replacement of directors who have left the city. The officers elected are as follows: Hon. Presidents, George W. Mc= Laughlin and A. R. Alloway. President, Alex G. Storie Vice-Presidents, H. P. Schell and Rev. R. B. Patterson.
