fore the clan of which he is a member was formed, although he was a clans man at the time. The other appeal was not sustained. @
 The case of the two rival clans in Cambridge Mass, was finally dispos- ed after considerable discussion The injunction of 1905 was repealed and the clans will hereafter meet in the same place.
 The report was adopted.
 The Committee on Constitution made a partial report.
 The amendment to elect the Minor Royal officers was rejected. The amendment relating to the appoint merlt of a permanent Royal Assist ant Secret ary was rejected The amendment that the fees of the Roy al physician be paid by the Royal Clan was negatived and the proposal that the Royal physician must state his reason for rejection of a candidate was modified that he shall so state to the local clan physician and he in turn shall use his discretion about telling clan or the candidate was passed. The move to increase the per capita Tax failed as also did the amendment for the loss of bequeathment following an arrearage of over one month in dues. The proposition to grade the bequeathment to so much per centage for certain time was lost but the emergency amendment allowing the Royal Clan to Qecldre any law III fOrce by a two-t11ird vote from and after its passage was adopted without dissent. C1ansmlen may wear full regalia to church parade if they so desire. The Royal Clan did not adopt the amend ment to declare past delegates eligible for office in the Royal Clan. The amendment from Clan Gordon, Barre, vt.,. relating to Clansmen moving to a distance from their. home clan and paying their dues and assessments through the nearest local secretaries aroused quite a discussion but the committee finding of non- concurrence was sustained by the Royal Clan.
 The committee on the state of the order reported non-concurrence to a resolution for a new ritual to be in accordance with the history of each Clan. This was adopted.
 The afternoon session was called to order at o'clock.
 The most important piece of busi- ness brought up and discussed at this session was the old age benefits scheme promulgated by the Massachu- setts Clans. After quite a, lengthy discussion it was decided that a com mittee be appointed to investigate the matter thoroughly and report at the next convention. The Royal Chief ap- pointed the committee

 The twenty fourth convention of the 1boyal Clan, Order of Scottish Clans has been and gone and to most of those who met and parted will ever remain a pleasant memory. Apart al- together from the social side it was a most enjoyable and memorable meet ing of "Brither Scots" From the far West and Northwest came the sons of the heather to greet their "brithers frae the land a. cakes'' now located all over the east and middle west of both this country and Canada. In fact Tn many respects it may have been said to be an international convention since many of the delegates came from the land of the myrtle leaf. Busi- ness first and pleasure after so we will give as best we can an account of the business done by the Scotsmen in the biennial parliament of the frater- nal and benevolent organization known as the Order of Scottish Clans.
 The Royal Clan convention in Man. 10 a. nl., Aug. IT in Odd Fellows Hall by Royal Chief John Hill. All of the loyal officers were present except Royal Counsellor J. B. Meikle, Seattle Washington, who sent a letter saying that as he was Commissioner General Of the Alaskan Y ukon Exposition he found it impossible to be present. The office was vacant through the conven- tlon until the election of officers. The Committee on Credentials and Returns was declared and it at once proceeded

The election of officers took place with the following result:
 Royal Chief, John Hill; Royal Tan fst, Stewart A. Ballantine; Royal Counsellor. A. G. Mcknight; Royal w. H. Fraser, M. D. The election occupied two and a half hours, con tests resulting in three instances, Royal Tanfst, Royal Counsellor and Royal Physician. The tellers were John Japp, John Irvine and w. H. Mo Intyre
 ! Fridays session proved to be busy one. The move to have triennial cleo tions was lost, although supported by some of the Royal officers. The reso- lution referring to the duties of the Royal Secretary was left in the hands of the executive with a recommenda- tion. It was voted to appropriate $2,000 a, year for missionary work, and it was decided to leave the salaries of the Royal Secretary and Treasurer as at present, $2,5OO and $500 respective 'ly.
 The Fiery Cross was left in the hands of the Royal Secretary, but a resolution that bids be received for the printing of the same and the work awarded to the lowest bidder after adopted.
 Resolution that the home towns Of the various delegates be added to the list of delegates to the Royal Clan convention was after discussion adopt ed.
 The amendments relating to the creation of an emergency fund and the management of the same, were con sidered incompetent in that the be- queathment fund is now earning good, safe interest and the management is in the hands of the executive, but the executive will report on the matter at next convention.

 In the evening the Clansmen were to a banquet in Odd Eel lows banquet hall, and it was a swell affair." Fine food and plenty of it was succeeded by fine speeches and just enough of them.

 Manchester, the convention city, is & beautifully clean city of no great aristocratic pretensions, but as the Mayor put it a home living city. It has some very interesting surround ings and parks. Massabesic Lake is the largest body of water in the dis trict and it has beautifully wooded and picturesque shores. Needless to say it is a great summer retreat-not re- sort. The parks in the suburbs are four in number and all command views of scenic beauty.
 Uncanoonic Mountain is the highest point of land in the vicinity of Man chester and is about seven miles from the city. The summit is reached by an Ancline electric railway and visitors to the mountain are amply repaid with the. novelty and magnificent views. The ladies of the delegates were enter tained to a trip to the summit by the ladies of the Clansmen in Manches- ter.

Turn About.

A young English student late one cold and wintry night found the door of his college locked against him. The young man outside argued with the doorkeeper inside, caJoled and entreat- ed, but to no avail. Eventually he slipped half a sovereign under the door and was admitted. It was a financial deal wisely thought out on strict busi- ness lines. Once inside, he informed the janitor ffalsely) that, unfortunate iy, after taking the half sovereign out of his purse he had dropped the purse Itself on the doorstep. The attendant went out to secure it, but once on the chilly, wet doorstep the door was slam med. Then the deal was repeated, for the shivering mercenary was not all lowed into his warm abode until he had slipped the half sovereign back again

SOME REQUIREMENTS
OF NEW SCHOOL LAW
Fall Examination of Teachers
Set For Later Date.
High School Attendance VIII Count
More In Apportionment, and a
sonus If Earned School Houses
Must Be Right.

Among other changes made by the
new school law is that of setting the
date for the regular fall examination of
teachers two weeks later than heretofore.
or just before the opening OF the fall
term OF school. The law provides that
the examination shall be held on the last
Thursday. Friday and Saturday of Aug
ust, coming this year on the Goth, 9th
and 2Sth. This change will be welcomed
by the teachers, as the examination will
come at a time that does not break so
incOnveniently into the vacation period
Another provision OF the new law
which will help defray the greater cost of
the more advanced instruction ia that
high school attendance shall count one
and half times regular attendance in
the grades. Besides this, an additional
bonus OF 500 will be given by the state
for each high school grade doing ap-
proved work. This should be an incen-
tive for special endeavor by both
instructors and pupils.
In the interest OF general public health
it is provided that if school is closed
on account OF the prev valence of conta-
giOus diseases it is yet entitled to it's
regular attendance for at least three
weeks OF the time closed, provided the
school directors use every means or pre-
caution to prevent the spread of the con
tagion or epidemic.
School houses now must be made to
conform to the approved requirements
in matters of heat, light, ventilation,
safety and sanitation in general Any
district failing to meet these require
ments within a reasonable length of tin @
will not be allowed it's regular state ar
pOrtiOnment, 80 it is up to the directors
and patrons in every district to see to it
