He had not seen his old chief since that awful day in court when sentence had been pronounced on him. But he gripped himself: "Ask him to come up." he said. Sir Wallace Murray was a very imâ€" portant man in the trade of the Middle East. was between sixty and seventy, but he looked considerably younger as he came into the office younger as he came into the office that day. "Hallo, Hallett," he said and held out his hand. The act was symbolic. In silence Hallett took the proffered hand and the eyes of the two men met. "I‘m a customer of Simon Dale‘s and heard you were here," he said. "Sit down, Sir Wallace." "That affair of yours has worried me very much, Hallett." "So it me. sir," Hallett smiled. ‘"He seemed delighted. He went through most of the purchases. He smiled at one or two, but he said that | he‘d have given more than you had for most of them."

This is especialâ€" ly desirable for the North where the cost of living is practically double that in the South. The members were reâ€" quested to take active steps to gain the support of every male teacher in the province for federation in order The delegates present also aproved of a plan to unite all educational organiâ€" zations in the province with a view to gaining support to a plan whereby a treasury, Australia and New Zealand 100 per cent. and Scotland 52 per cent., Ontario stands second lowest in the BPBritish Empire in this respect, conâ€" tributing only about 12 per cent. The result is that the individual municipalâ€" ity is forced to carry the greater part of the load and if the municipality is financially poor, the schools, children and teachers suffer. Unless there is some system of equalized assessment and the proper distribution of taxes, the present system will go on indefinâ€" itely. Mr. Connell, the president, suggested that as trustees and ratepayers were very interested in financial reform the coâ€"operation of these groups be asked. This was unanimously agreed upon. It was generally agreed that while both these reasons applied in a number of individual cases, neither was the fundamental reason. The chief trouble in Ontario toâ€"day is the fact that our system of educational finance and adâ€" ministration is entirely obsolete and more antiquated than that of almost any civilized country. It was pointed out that whereas Eng. land pays 50 per cent. of the costs of education directly from the central progressive trustees At the meeting the question of teachâ€" ers‘ salaries in rural areas called forth considerable comment. One delegate pointed out that in many cases relief recipients were obtaining more in the way of services and money than some of our teachers. The case of a teacher teaching for 200 days of at least six hours each, plus two hours per day on the average in marking papers, etc., was considered. This constitutes 1600 hours of actual work per year. Many teachers at $500 salary are thus in reâ€" ceipt of 33¢ per hour, or just over half of the amount paid to an ordinary labourer in Toronto and other cities. There were three main reasons adâ€" vanced for this low salary situation. Some delegates claimed that many young male and female teachers, lackâ€" ng professional pride and ethics, are guilty of underbidding. It was dscided that this situation should be studied in an effort to obtain, over such unâ€" desirables, some type of disciplinary power. Another reason seemed to be the unwillingness of some rural boards to take full advantage of the governâ€" ment grant system designed to enable poorer sections to pay a living wage.1 The only remedy here would be to get tin support of ratepayers in electing Men Teachers Take Up School Problems ocal Branch of Men Teachâ€" ers‘ Federation Making Plans P uen td t th Te ie ue m P c D 1 N .
