George Drew stated that the closing of the Academy was a hardship on the towns and villages of Northern Ontario, where no high school was available, but he was of the opinion that the branch shoulg not go on reâ€" cord as favouring subjects to be taught. That was a matter for the authorities. A. C. Brown, in a short review of the Academy‘s operation explained the adâ€" vantages to the North that have been derived from its agricultural teachings. He was of the opinion that the Acadeâ€" my should be reâ€"opened immediately on ts original basis, this being the payâ€". ing of special attention to farming and. agriculture. A. Borlangq did not thmkl the members should press for particuâ€" lar subjects to be taught, but that the government should make a thorough study of the needs of the country with a view to educating the young folk along the best lines. Several others spoke on the matter and by a unaniâ€" mous vote the meeting went on record as supporting the Iroquois Falls resoâ€" lution in so far as the authoritiese be asked to reâ€"open the Academy, and ietâ€" ters will be sent to the minister of eduâ€" cation and Premi@sr Hepburn to this effect.

Burns, age 25, and Paul Cote, were pronounced dead early this morning after doctors had worked all night in an attempt to resuscitate them. It is supposed that the men, who were working in the raise alone, went back in to find out why one of the charges they set had not exploded. When they did not appear at the end of the shift, an alarm was raised and the shift boss ,had an investigtion made immediately. The bodies were found and it was hoped lthat a spark of life still existed. They were rushed to the surface and Drs. Greig and Kelly called. Dan Burns had been employed at the Hollinger since 1932 and lived in Timâ€" mins at 64 Maple street north. He was single. His parents live in Latchford and the remains were shipped there on toâ€"day‘s noon train. Faul Cote had been employed at the mine since 1928 and lived here at the St. Charles hotel.
