oil and turpentine in such is the case and one milk dealer had a bottle returned to him last week with enough turpentine left in the bottom to destroy the brushes with which the bottles are washed for such people who are thoughtless enough to do this sort of trick there is a health law which will deal severely with them the act forbids milk bottles being used for any purpose other than holding milk they are the property of the milk dealers and householders have no right to utilize them for any pur pose if this intimation fails to put an end to such practices as men tioned the board of health is

arthur swift wife of one of our garage men in the death of her father which took piace at clare- mont last weekend the late thos dehaney was 79 years of age and had lived in stouffville for some time with his daughter but at the time of his death was staying with mrs w swift another daughter the funeral took place on monday of this week to prospect cemetery toronto last week we had things to say about the teacher and her pupils just where does discipline begin is it not in the home if a child has not been taught to obey aud that promptly if he has not been taught what restraint is he hasnt been dealt a fair deal it is every childs right to know what obedience and restraint is it is every parents duty to see that these fundamentals are given to the child there are homes where these matters seem to be reversed this gives rise to the sentence we have seen on the blackboard at service stations parents who disobey their children arc a problem now to return to school discip line we venture to say that a teacher can readily detect those of her pupils who know what prompt obedience means trouble frequently arises with pupils who try to put it over the teacher it has often occurred that children have re marked to the teacher my mother said i was to or not to do so- and- so what reply can teachers wisely make but to say your mother- is too busy with her homo duties to know just what is needed at school then again it often occurs that a child who lias to be forcibly re strained at school can successfully make a caso with his interpreta tion of the affair to his parents and get them peeved against the teacher did you ever hear the remark made by a parent regarding his child oh hell get that taken out of him when he gets to school the school is expected as a correc tive agent the home looks for the school to overcome home delinqu ency a certain mother was having a hard time with her sixyearold why wont you mind me you mind miss b your teacher dont you oh i have to mind her pedagogue quality service fertilizer on hand at all times stiver bros phone 4501 stouffville ontario cheaper farm implements auditorium theatre stouffville the local board of education has had to pay a surgical and medical bill of s101 as a result of a child running a sliver in its leg while playing on one of the teeters at the school grounds the cost mounted up owing to the youngster having to be taken to the hospital for the final removal of the bit of wood fortunate for the ratepayers and for the board as well one day prior to the accident the board took out an accident insurance policy protecting them from financial liability in such cases the cost of the policy was less than 30 which indemnifies us for a year and right off the bat we fell into a liability of nearly four times the amount of the premium this is the first time the school board ever took out an accident policy but we believe it will not be the last the insurance company carrying our risk is the
