New Chemical ' Toilets Placed in 100 Schools

rural schools have installed the new style chemical toilets this year, according to the records of the Department of Education. This type of toilet. something new for the rural schools. to menu- fnctured by Caustic Sanitation Limited, Dundas, Ontario.

The outfit has no moveable parts and is. therefore, free from all mechanical trouble. It is self draining and operates similar to a scptxlc tank although only re- quiring the addition of one pail of water per day.

The steel that is used in the construction of the tank is of the best quality and in addition the tank is immersed in oxidized asphalt heated to from 350 de- greeg to 400 degrees F. until a proper coating is obtainable both on the inside and the outside 01 the tank. The tank is built in an oval shape. thus giving full op- portunity for septic action.

The ventilation consists of a long pipe extending out through the roof and Hopped with a T- shaped ventilator containing the air vents and screens.

The Department of Education pays one-half of the cost of the toilets and installation with the district paying the other half. Where further carpenter work is required for the installation- such as new partitions, doors, etc. the district gets help under the School Improvement plan provid- ing the dlatrictls grant of money had not already been exhausted.

Urges Study Of Public Speaking

The study of public speaking is

' a fudnatim one, said Lt.-Col. Leo

F. MacDonald. Principal of Queen

Square School. and one which should receive the attention of everyone with ideas to be made

available to the public. Col. Mae. Donald was addressing the 1-egu. lar weekly luncheon at Rotarlans at the Charlottetown Hotel.

speech is not inherited. It is de- veloped and may be improved with study and practice, said the speaker. Those who seek to in- crease their speaking ability find lhlt it pays in several ways. First it helps the speaker to know him- self better and gives him an portunity to study the reacdon of his own mind and those of his listeners. Continued practice al- lows the speaker to find methods of getting his ideas across with cleamess and exactness impossible in I beginner. This study also makes it possible to get gxegier enloyment in listening to a gifted speaker.

Col. MacDonald gave a detailed description of the elements of a 899d 5l!eech. If the speaker goes about the preparation of the talk lystematlcally and has his ideas arranged in proper sequence. he may concentrate upon his delivery and strive to overcome any per- sonal handicapa. Everyone suffers SW"! degree of stage fright. and it u even a good thing as long as it is kept under control. By practice the speaker will learn to face his audience easily without tension.

Someone made the remark that in the world of ideas, and in the humanities and graceful living. Canada takes second place to no nation. It is then the moral ob- ligation of our leaders in every Community. said Col. MacDonald to be able to stand up and give their ideas at every opportunity. The study of public speaking is of advantage to everyone speaking in casual conversation, as chalnmm of a meeting. in a two minute talk, after dinner speaking. or making a formal address. .
