ONTARIO THORNH ILL Athletic Grounds The Thornhill Field Day Associaâ€" tion this week completed the pur- chase of ten acres of the McMahon farm, formerly the Scagcr farm on the wcst side of Yonge Street. whiCh will be used as a park and athletic grounds. The first Ficld Day was hcld on thcsc grounds in 1924 and ever since that time the purchase of the property has becn a project of the Association. It will fill :1 long- fclt need in the community and should be a boon to sport in the dis- trict. We understand the purchase price was $3000. The Home and School AssOciation held their regular monthly meeting in thc >L‘litul cr )Iomlziy night.

I don’t believe It," Mr. Burton continued. "because what come home tired after a day‘s work? .Nothing very gocd is going to come lout of human labor unless there is some. energy spent. “Children should be allowed to re- alize their ambitions while still young. Many are discouraged In their early ambitions and are forced by their parents to take up a pro- fession or be something their par- ents would like. “If the Chllld wanted an education bad enough, he would go out and work for it. The time to make sac- rifices is when the child is young and wants to do or have something that might help it towards its voca- tion." Mr. Spence presided at the meetâ€" ing and the Glee Club of the ’To- ronto Club of Printing House Crafts- men furnished the music. The men served a substantial lunch at the close. Earl Jacques Elected Earl Jacques was elected village trustee to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of John Hender- son. He won out in a three corn- ered fight, the vote being Jacques 57, Thomas Jackson 33 and Percy Maude 16. Lenten Services will «be held in the Anglican, Presbyterian and United Churches on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night next week. On Good Friday morning a united ser- vice will be held in Newtonbrook United Church.

ANNUAL RAISE OF $100 PROPOSED FOR TEACHERS Salaries of teachers in Ontario are to be discussed when the Trustees" and Ratepayers‘ association meets in Easter week at the O.E.A. conven- tion in Toronto. A 14-p0int platform has been drawn up under the general head of “Develop the school and preserve democracy." One of the points calls for a minimum salary 0f $700 to teachers. There are some paid less than $500, though that is the mini- mum set by the department of edu- cation. Nat satisfied with the $700 objec- tive, the Trustees’ association execu-~ tive has recommended that “there be a raise of $1001 per year up to $1,200 if the teacher is satisfactory.” One point likely to arouse contro- versy is one that calls for all real property to be based on a provincial equalized assessment. It has been accepted at only a few county mat- ings. The 14 points are: 1. That equal educational oppor- tunities should be given every chi-Id in Ontario. 2. That not leSS than 50 per cent of school expenditure should be borne by the state. ‘3. That greater co-operation be- tween school boards should be fostâ€" ered in the interest of boys and girls. 4. That a province-Wide medical examination should be given at least 'once each year during the element- 'ary and secondany school life of the 'child, paid for by the department of health and approved by the depart- ment of education. 5. That a permanent record should be kept of every school child throughout the elementary and sec- ondary school life. 6. That a more practical course should be provided for all primary and secondary schools leading to a standard diploma which would be re- cognized by business firms, agricul- tural colleges and other practical professions. l l l Now this is sumclllin}: which we I seldom scc :It orcc.

They can seem, on the contrary, like conscientious and dutful hard work. they often diaw praise and approval from onlooktrs, :md arouse a sense of conwlacercy in us. It is only by looking more clo.<câ€", ly, by discovering that this work‘ gets us nowhere. that it both til‘esi us and leaves unsatisfied. that we see here again energy is being devoted to the pursuit of failure. But why should this be so? Why if. with the energy we must use in any case. we night he suc- cecding. do seldom lives we hoped and planned to live?

Then why do we fail? Especially, why do we work hard at failure? Because, beside being creatures, subject to the Will to Live and the Will to Power, we are driven .by anâ€" other will, the Will to Fail, or to Die. But the idea of another will, a counterâ€"balancing will, the Will to Fail, the Will to Death, is not so I readin accepted. Yet death is as much a fact of experience as birth and growth; and if Nature prepares us for each new phase of life by closing off old de- sires and opening new vistas, it dOes not seem too difficult to think that we are, always, being slowly, gently reconciled to our eventual relinquish- ment of all we hold dear as living creatures. And withdrawal from struggle, abandonment of effort, releasing of desire and ambition would be nor- mal movements in an organism which was being gently wooed away from its preoccupation with life. It is for this reason that we are entitled to look upon the Will to Fail as a reality. Mr. and Mrs. John Dultcher of Kettleby observed their 57th wedds ing anniversary on March 10th.
