â-  w ,-? 'jjhje /k0l)^rlixtt A^wwc^ Vol. 59; No. 2 FLESHERTON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 1939 U . H. THURSTON & SON, Proprkton New Course of Study In Local High School The list of subjects of study ol the new course in Middle School have recently been released to school teachers. The subjects are as follows: English, History, Health Education, Mathematics, Science, French and Latin. English History and Health are obligatory subjects, for which there are no substitutes. The other four are optional subjects for which there would be substitutes in larger schools, but for which there is not time for substitutes in four-teacher schools. The courses of study are the revised courses, but they have not been released as yet. The old course in Ancient History will be taught next year, 1939-1940. In 1940-41 a new course in History and Geography will be introduced. The Middle School course has al- ways been a two-year course; that is the same now. Students who follow- ed the old course of study wrote two examinations in English (Composition and Literature) and two in French and Latin (Composition and Authors). Now, one examination is to be set in English and the languages in place of the former two. This examination will be taken at the end of the second year in Middle School. At the end of the^ first year, students will be passed into the second year of the Middle School on the teacher's recommenda- tion. In Science, Physics and Chem- istry are intended to be taught at the same time for a two-year period, with the examination at the end of the second year. Perhaps in smaller schools these subjects will be taught singly and the course be made a one- year course wfth the final examina- tion at the end of that year. In Mathematics, Algebra will be taught in the first year of the Middle School and Geometry in the second, with examinations in each subject at the conclusion of the course in that subject. Not many changes will be made in text books. Students will be expected to .purchase new texts, which are different from the present Middle School texts in the following subjects: English Composition, French and Algebra. Lower School texts will re- main the same with the exception of Grade X, Latin and Lower School English. Students will have to pur- chase a new text in Latin. The Eng- lish books may be different, if the principal and staff decide to make the change. Lower School promotion examina- tions commence on Wednesday, June l4th and end Tuesday, June 20th. Middle School Departmentals for the classes commence on June 16th, and end on June 29th. High School Entrance examinations will be in pro- gress on June 28th and 29th.

TAYLOR â€" HAWTON The home of Mr. and Mrs. .Alfred Hawton at Feversham was the scene of a charmingly arranged early sum- mer wedding on Satui-day, June 3rd, at three o'clock when their daughter, Edna, became the bride of Mr. Joseph Randall Taylor, son of Mr. Wm. Tay- lor of Maple Lake, and the late Mrs. Taylor. Rev.Stringed officiated and the wedding music was played by Mrs. Ross Robinson.

After the ceremony a reception was held for thirty-five guests when the bride's mother, in a gown of navy blue, assisted in receiving.

Gave Gift to Teacher On Leaving School A delightful social evening was held in the high school on Friday evening when one of the teachers, Mr. Ernest A. Hutton, was guest of honor. Mr, Hutton has resigned from the staff to take effect at the end of this term and in appreciation of his work in the school and its various activities he was presented by the staff and pupils with a set of military brushes and a travelling case. The address was read by Miss Kathleen Bannon and the pre- sentation by Melville Hunt. Dear Mr. Hutton,- Strike one . Strike two ! Strike three! He's out â€" but our Henry isn't down. No sir, he gets up every time wtih a smile, and we know that a home run is in store for him soon. Although his smile and cheery dis- position is going to be our loss, we are certain that they will take him a long way. For two years now you have been been popping up in all our activities, and in so doing have established a great responsibility. Not until we heard that you were leaving us did we realize what you have been doing in these two short years. Your ex- cellent advice and coaching ability has won the respect of the boys concerned with athletics. Not only within the school but also in the com- munity have your interests been directed. Our Young People's Union is losing a good sport and leader, who has done his utmost to make it the success it has been. Yet, we think Flesherton is prob- ably soo small for a man of your ability and disposition; in that, we mean, greater things are in store for you which, we regret, cannot be af- forded here. Therefore, we feel confident that our loss will be some- one else's gain, and for this reason our sadness is turned to joy and we wish you the best in your greater undertakings. For, there's always a way to fail, my lad. Always a way to slide. And the men you find at the foot of the hill All sought for an easy ride. So on and up, though the road be tough. And the storms come thick and fast There is room at the top for the fel- low who tries. And victory comes at last. And so, on behalf of the student ^j^^^ j^g ^^g ^j^gn a substantial major- body and staff, we ask you to accept j ;,.y ^^^^. j^jg dosest rival. Dr. Blair. M.P. for North Wellington, was the guest speaker and gave a splendid address which was listened to atten- tively by the crowded hall of delegates. Mrs. N. Hostrawser !

Walter of Toronto visit- ed recently with her brother, Mr. Walter Saigeon, and son, Ge«rge Saigeon and family. incorporated in the school curriculum. This address so impressed the dele- trates that Rev. Service was asked to frame a resolution re Bible teaching In the afternoon Reeve A. Down of Flesherton extended a hearty welcome to- the delegates, saying that it was an honor and a pleasure for Flesher- ton to entertain such an important convention, and he hoped that it would be a success. In a short, snappy ad- dress Pi-esident Ferguson stated that it was a far cry from the horse and buggy days to the present auto. Our school system should be advancing also. He favored the "larger unit of administration," believing it to be a step in the right direction. Reference was also made to Bible teaching and to the visit of Their Majesties. The subjects of Art and Health were dealt with by ?jiss Alice Heard and Miss Laura Pallett, of the staff of the Flesherton high school. Both young ladies had their subject well in hand and left a most favorable im- pression on the delegates. Exhibits relative to these subjects were on dis- play. These were not only a credit to the pupils who made them, but to the teachers who must have given t>»fc pupils an inspiration to do such fine work. Much credit also goes to In- spector Pentland, who assisted with the arrangement in these prizes. A coupon is given with each 25 cent purchase. Be sure and be in town Wednesday night and claim your prize when your name is called out. Mr. Lloyd Talbot was the only prize winner to qualify for the creamery prize of double the amount of their cream cheque for cream brought in on Wednesday, when he was presented with $3.96 extra. Teacher Resigned Miss Laura Pallett of the high school staff has tendered her resigna- tion to the Board to take effect at the end of the school term. Miss Pallett has been engaged to teach in the Mea- ford high school. Miss Pallett has had a splendid record teaching in the Flesherton school and her removal is regretted. She has also been very active in church work, especially the choir and her assistance and leader- ship will be missed. Best wishes of a host of friends here will be hers for success at Meaford.
