Heavy registration is being real‘zed for the Dominion Association of Fire Chief‘s convention to be held in Timâ€" mins on Aug. 27 to 30 inclusive. It will be the first time the conâ€" vention has ever been held in Timmins and from the initial registrations it is expected to be more than well attended, The Timmins Pire Department reâ€" ceived a very handsome cheque from Aunor Gold Mine Ltd., this week, for their part in extinguishing the fire, which broke out in the mine dry some weeks ago. A letter accompanying the cheque stated : "On behalf cfi the Aunor Gold Mines Limited, I would ask you to accept this cheque in acknowlegement of your prompt and efficient services in aiding to bring the fire., we recently had in our mine dry, under control. I am sure that without your aid considerably greater damage would have resulted." The letter was signed by Stanley S. Saxton. manager af the mine C. W,. Caskey of the Ontario Fire Marshall‘s Office was in Timmins for a short stay at the weekend. Mr. Caskey had come North on business and while in Timmins he carried out inspections on some buildings. When youngsters started their first year in high school, the majority were uncertain as to their courses, their future plans, or the studies they should follow, he claimed. They really needed help to choose the proper studies, to orient themselves to secondary school. (Continued on Page Seven) Aunor Mine Thanks Firemen For Help Many Plan to Attend Fire Chiefs‘ Caucus Some peoptle believed that "Guidâ€" ance" was a matter for the home and not the school, Mr. Napper said. In cases where the homes were capable of the work, pupils and all others conâ€" cerned were very fortunate. But the majority of homes were illâ€"equipped for the issue. Mr. Napper touched on the point that all students had different degrees of intelligence and mentally. but that all had hidden gifts and aptitudes that should have special consideration when thinking of vocations. He denied the ideas, held by some, that some great men, who had been backward at school. were geniuses because of that. He pointed out, using the case of Thomas Edison to illustrate the fact, that these men were great because of wonderful qualities they possessed, and not because of lack of success at school. The hope of "Guidance" was to discover and develop these great qualities. a life work, he believed. Even when they did think they knew, they were liable to change their minds two or thre times. In the "Guidance" plan, the idea was to study both the individâ€" ual pupil and the occupational and inâ€" dustrial world, with the view of advisâ€" ing the individual student to follow the line for which he was best suited, There were two general opinions in the matter, he pointed out. One class thought that the students of today should be trained more or less along the lines of the education of some years ago, while the other class were more radical in demands for a comâ€" plete change. With present conditions in the world youth needs all the help possible in planning for the future. and it was in this that "Guidance" was of special service. Presentâ€"day students did not know exactly ‘what thevy intended to do as of very special intercst, Mr. Napper showed in effective way just what this "Guidance" was attempting to do and what it was accomplishing for the young people. The club members got a ncw and better view of the subject. The guest speaker, who was introâ€" duced <â€" by Kiwanian A. G. Irving, po‘nted out in opening his address thai. "Guidancee" was not something new, but had been carried out on a more or less extended scale for many years. Two years ago it was placed on the curriculum for the province and thus hÂ¥ad attained some special prominence. "The idea that "Guidance" means the forcing or inducing of students to follow a certain line of occupation is a wrong one," he stated,. What "Guidâ€" ance" seeks to do is to get the students thinking about the matter, and to help them decide what they are best suited to follow. Much good work had been done along this line, but there was still more progress to be made," "We cannot go too fast, however," the speaker said, "as we have to keep in touch with the pubhc attitude."
