June 1922 THE CLASSIC Page Tventu-Three Glhr Sirk 13211951 Ellunh ln many of the organizations of modern society, there is a special fund set aside by the members as a safeguard against heavy expenses in case of sickness or accident. As a Normal School, we, too, adopted this scheme at the beginning of the year. One student was elected from each Form, making a committee of five, to organ- ize a system of rendering assistance to those who might be put to heavy expense through illness. A satisfactory system was worked out, the details of which need not be given here. Each student who wish- ed to insure himself paid a small fee. From this fund aid was rendered to those who were unfortunate enough to be ill, in proportion to the amount of their bills. When- ever the funds began to run low further contributions were made by the students. By this means no one had large bills to pay and it meant very little to the rest of the students, while they, too, had the assurance of receiving help in case of need. We think this scheme a very good one and recommend it to other organizations with a large membership. The following were the members of the Sick Benefit Committee: Mildred Alles, Mary Fletcher, Ruth Mont- gomery, l-lildred Willoughby, Wallace Morrison. I-IILDRED WILLOUGHBY. A man is commonly either made or marred for life by the use which he makes of his leisure hour. THE RURAL CONFERENCE. Due to the efforts of Dr. Silcox, the third Rural Con- ference was held in Stratford Normal on Friday, May IZ, l9Z2, Dr. Svilcox acting as chairman. Very interesting and instructive addresses were given during the morning by the following students: Miss Cora Russell, Consolidation , Miss Edna Lupton, The One Room Rural Schoolng Miss Belle McLellan, Com- munity Centresug Mr. Wilton, Recreation in Rural Schoolsnz Miss Hazel Akins, School Gardens. Miss Russell pointed out that while consolidated schools might cost more, yet Education cannot be valued in dollars and cents, and the work which the founders of our educational system began must be continued. I Miss Lupton urged every teacher to have an ideal, and to keep in mind that the boys and girls of to-day make the Canada of to-morrow. Miss McLellan said that if Community Halls were general throughout the province, rural depopulation would not be the vital question it is to-day. lnformation about community halls may be secured by writing to the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Toronto. Mr. Wilton advised having supervised play for the children, and debating societies for the young men and women of the vicinity, which would form a closer re- lationship between the teachers and the community. Miss Akins showed the benefit of correlating school gardens with other subjects on the curriculum. Miss Laura Cody, of Macdonald l-lall, Guelph, gave an address on Games for Rural Schools. Miss Cottle
