INDUSTRIAL CLASSES BIG SUCGESS THIS YFAR Larger and More Regular Attendance Than Ever at Last Year‘s Classes. der the auspices of the l1i1mimins School elosed for the season on 1 day of last week, after a very ingly successful season. The c proved of great benefit, and g proved of great benefit, and general advantage was taken of the opporâ€" tunity they offered for advancement and improved education. It may be noted, however,> that in. some cases the younger people did not grasp their opportunity asâ€" generally as those not so young. ‘This was parâ€" ticularly noticeable in the Sewing Classes where older folk seised the chance to increase their knowledge, while many younger ones, who could. have profited greatly by attending the Classes, let ‘the chance slip‘: by. The girls should watch next year and take full opportunity as afforded by these classes. For all these classes are very decidedly worth while. In his report â€" on the Industrial Classes, Prineipal Treleaven of the Timmins High School, says:â€"**1 am pleased to report that the teachers without exception showed themselves interested, faithful and .earnest in their work throughout the year aml rendered every asslstance pu%\lfl)]e in the work.‘ THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTIMMINS, ONTARIO Mr. Treleaven also gives the folâ€" lowing sumimary showing the total hours spent by the students in each Total Studentâ€"Hours ...... 4218 Last year the total studentâ€"hours were 3600, so this year‘s eclasses sho‘w a material increase over 1923 in point of attendance and regularity.

The fees. paid this year by pupils totailled $381.00. and the amount to be refundâ€" ed is $117.00. It will be noted. that the ‘biggest class is that for the teaching of Engâ€" lish to nonâ€"English speaking people. The average attendance at this class before Christmas was 18 to 20, and after Christmas around 15. The nonâ€" English speaking peoples taking adâ€" vantige of this class were chiefly:â€" Russians, Finns, Polanders, Italians and French, in the order named. There were no Chinamen attending 't-h'is class this yvear, the Chinamen apâ€" parently finding other ways to learn English, for mostâ€"of them do learn English, more or less. The Electricity class was another of the classes with a good attendance and interest maintained throughout. This class would average an attendâ€" ance of about 15 from start to finish. One of the handicaps this year was that the classes were not going soon enough. ‘This coming season it is inâ€" tended to get a much earlier start, Organization will be completed in September and the classes commenced the first week in October.

QUEER EPIDEMIC SATD TO BE KILLING OFF DOGS Sudbury, Capreol, Sault Ste. Marie, North Bay and other towns in the North have been visited recently by some peculiar form of epidemic disâ€" ease that kills dogs attacked. At first it was thought that the dogs died from poisoning, but this theory is now felt to be insufficient to acâ€" count for the mortality among the dogs. Several dead dogs have been found on the street in North Bay during the past few days. Some sugâ€" gest the disease is ralbies, but this is not generallyâ€" credited. There is a tendency to call any serious dog disâ€" ease ‘‘rabies.‘‘ WThe trouble is likeâ€" ly. a form of distemper that may be avoided by care and attention. In the meantime a number of valuable dogs have died from the mysterious ailment. At Swastika last week a Finu, Jivâ€" ing at Dane, pleaded guilty through an interpreter of keeping liquor illegâ€" ally for sale, and was fined $500.00 and costs or three. months.. He went down. Although a resident in Canâ€" ada for 23 years, the man could not speak English. HAMILTON MAYOR ACTIVE FOR CANADA opposIing 8.
