Notable Addresses at Kiwanis Banquet at South Porcupine Miss Shaw, Jublic School Principal, was introduced by Maxwell Smith, who in a short speech told his fellow Kiâ€" wanilans what the parents of this comâ€" munity think of the lady who for the past twentyâ€"three years has taught out children and earned the love and reâ€" spect and unqualified admiration of all with whom she has come in contact.

It may surprise you to know that I never wished to be a teacher. But 36 years ago not many fields were open to the ambitious ones of the fair sex. It is a theory, and I suppose a very sound one, that if you do not love children and have no desire to teach, then you should find some other work to do. But there are exceptions to all rules. I have already said that I did not wish to be a teacher. Another confession followsâ€"I did not like childâ€" ren until I began to teach. Perhaps being very unorthodox from the beginâ€" ing saved the situatior. I have learn â€" ed to love children andtounderstand them and through them have learned to appreciate more, year by year, the fineness of a profession which means so much to the life of the nation. Now, about children. It is a favorite moralâ€" izing attitude of the adult, (these young ladies will be adopting it, ten or fifâ€" teen years hence)â€"that of deploring the manners and morals between themselves as children and the present crop of youngsters. Do we honestly think there is any fundamental difâ€" ference? Granting difference in the age in which we live children are really much the same from one generation to thing about teachning, and, since I have spent thirtyâ€"six yvears in the profesâ€" sion, 23 of them in this town, you naturally also expect that I shall have something profoundly learned to say about it. You are right on only one count. I shall say a little about teachâ€" ing not so much in deference to your expectations as for the sake of the young ladies present, who, I fear, would not wish me to step out of character for even one night.. But as for saying anything profoundly learned, I am sorry, I shall have to disappoint you. The things that are so simple many would want to believe complex. I‘m so infinitely weary of those persistent exâ€" ponents of the how and why of teachâ€" ingâ€"There are a few basic principles that make for success in anything NO CASH NEEDED 2 YEAKS TO PAY Dr. Harper introduced Miss Dorothy M. Wilkins as a member of the High School Staff, and Captain of the Girl Guide Troop of South Porcupine. is our chief duty towards childrenâ€" to help them build such defences. Everyone recognizes that the home is the great factor in the training of children. Churches, schools and social welfare societies cannot take the place of home influence, nor counteract it except in a limited degree. But the training does not stop with the home or any social institution. Every adult, and I do not mean parents, preachers and teachers alone, has an individual responsibility to the children of this generation. Example is ten thousand times more important than precept. Our examples should teach children to set such high value on all that is spiriâ€" tually moraliy, mentally and physically best that they nmay be able to build defences so sure that nothing can corâ€" rupt them. Before closing I should like to congratulate this Society on the work it is doing for the chldren of this coummunity. Especially am I glad that underâ€"privileged children will be benefitted. For theirs is the great problem. I am sure the parents of this community must be deeply grateful for your efforts." another. No wiser and no worse. We also frequently marvel at the opporâ€" tunities that children have nowâ€"aâ€"days. It is quite true that the world is full of"® a number of thing; which condiâ€" tion perhaps is nct so advan‘ageous as it may seem, either for grown ups or children. Abundance of opportunity is not the best thing in the world, neither is a little lack the worst, What proâ€" fits opportunity if the mind is not prpared to regard it as such. One of the finest things we can do for childâ€" ren to help them to fit themselves into the scheme of things is to allow them once in a while the blessed privilegs of struggling to attain some of the things they really want, teaching them in the meantime to like what they doâ€"â€" not do what they like. We may think that the world we are living in is steadily growing worse and worse, though I beg leave to doubt it But even so, we cannot turn back the hands of the clock, We may recognize the pace as hectic but if we are so minded we can build defences against the madâ€" dest world that ever reigned. And that Miss Wilkins gave a splendid address taking the Guide movement as her subject. She has been as a Brownie and a Guide for twenty years connected "World‘s Fair Fcllies" direct from the New York World‘s Pair, will be at the Cartier Theatre, Timmins, as a special attraction on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week.

Captain Wilkins‘ decorations alone are worth more than a passing glance!. "What is Guiding or the Guide Moveâ€" ment?" In the words. of Sir Baden Powell it is a "Game played largely in the open air by Guides and Guiders working together." And what is a game?â€"It is the exercise of faculties needed in adult lifeâ€"a mixture of fun and a facing of difficulties, Why choose Guiding â€" instead of other games? (1) For its extreme simplicity, based upon the Guide promise and Guide Law which is based upon the ten laws of loyal, helpâ€" ful, sisterly, courteous, kind, obedient, smiling, thrifty, and pure in thought, word and deed." What better foundâ€" ation could any girl have for motherâ€" hood or work? (2) Other games deâ€" pend on beating an opponent, but Guiding depends upon a study of naâ€" ture, and acquisition of skill and doing of good turns. To be happy being gool with fellows, not in competition with them. (3.) It is not a military organiâ€" zation. We hope we move smartly and in disciplined fashion, but our leaders are our Sisters and the patrol leader has learned to lead and not to drive., Ours is, a voluntary selfâ€"discipline where selfâ€"control, helpfulness and sisterhood are bound together, by laughter. Our uniform encourages pride in personal appearance, tidiness, fellowship in a world organization. It is a democratic organization governed by a Court of honour which is comâ€" posed of Guide leadrs and meets after meetings. The Committee are the pubâ€" lic sponsors of the Guide movement and assist the Guides in any way, by advce, by assisting in finding offcers and financing of companies. "Looking back over 20 years of Guiding," said Miss Wilkins, "the training of girls in honour, sportsmanship, â€" selfâ€"reliance, effciency and tolerance, must make a better generation of women, and thereâ€" fore the Guides must be doing their best to help make the world a better place to live in; and international and interdenominational as the movement is, surely it is contributing to world peace?" (Editorial in Northern Miner) On numerous occasions in the past The Northern Miner has enjoyed the privilege of noting the high callbre of much of the material which Canada has imported from United States for administrative jobs in our big mines. The occasion has presented itself again this week with the announcement that on Friday nizsht the Michigan School of Mines will confer the honorary deâ€" gree of Doctor of Mining Engineering on John Knox, of Timmins, Ontario, general manager of the Hollinger Conâ€" solidated Gold Mines, Limited, for outâ€" standing service in the mining indusâ€" try. Canadian friends of John Knox are delighted but are scearcely sunprised at the news. For many years his splenâ€" did record as a mine administrator, and in particular his relationships with employees and the public generally have been a byword throughout the industry. He possesses a rare combinaâ€" tion of geniality and efficiency that has helped the Hollinger organization to set an enviable mark for itself in all phases of its activities. Highest congratulations are in order. Honour to Mr. John Knox Earned by Excellent Work Kirkland Lake‘s Tax Ratse Reduced by Eight Mills of the gold tax allowed Northern min ing municipalitiee and also by the ha‘lâ€"mill subsidy from the Ontario government. The increase in the share of the gold tax means an extbra $112,000 for Kirkland Lake, Reeve Carter says, who added that it was a long, hard fight to secure the reduction in rate, possibe only through an increase in the share of gold tax. Kirkland Lake‘s tax rates last year were as follows:â€" 58.8 mills for Kirkland Lake public school supporters; 67.43 mills for Swasâ€" tika public school supporters, and 68.24 mills for separate school supporters in the township. The Township of Teck (including Kirkland Lake and Swastika) has been reduced approximately eight mills this year compared to 1938. The notable reductions in the rates at Kirkland were made possible by the larger share This year the rates are:â€"S50 nill for Kirkland Lake public school supporters, 60.21 mills for Swastika public school supporters; and 54.76 mills for separate school supporters in the township.
