Prunier has served the city for ! twenty-six years.Captain Lacharite\u2019s years of service total fifteen years.Four prominent Sherbrooke residents, two of them former Mayors of the city, today agreed in an interview with the Record that the evidence which resulted in the dismissal of Chief of Police H.0.Camirand, Deputy Chief Joseph Prunier and Captain Maurice Lacharite from the department should be made public.After the interviews were obtained the evidence wras released to the press by City Hail officials.Following are the statements made by the four citizens interviewed : E.A, Bernard: \u201cCertainly the evidence should be made public.It was a great surprise to me to learn today that the Chief and the other two officers had been dismissed.\u201d Col.Leopold Chevalier: \u201cThe evidence should certainly be made public.The citizens of Sherbrooke pay big taxes and would like to knoiv just what is what.As I suggested at a meeting some time ago, there should have been a judicial inquiry rather than a closed investigation by the City Council.Everybody would have been much more satisfied.\u201d Ex-Mayor A.C.Skinner: \u201cSherbrooke citizens are much interested in the affair which has resulted in the dismissal of three of the Police Department\u2019s officials and we should be informed of the salient facts of the case.As ratepayers we are all entitled to know what is going on in the city.\u201d Ex-Mayor J.K.Edwards: \u201cA public statement should be made to let the public know if the decision to release the three officers was justified.Unless such a statement is made officially the public is apt to think the charges against the three men are much more serious than they really are.It seems strange that those of us who have been Mayors or Aldermen and have been so closely associated with the officers in the past never heard of anything to warrant their dismissal from the force.\u201d Police Remove Body of Nine-Year-Old Valmore Cloutier from St.Francis Approximately 600 Feet from Point of Tragedy.Sought since the afternoon of May 6th, the body of nine-year-old Valmore Cloutier, victim of the first drowning tragedy in the district this season, was recovered early this morning.With the head, face downward, almost completely h dden from view by the clinging mud of the river ibed, the body was found about six hundred feet from the Aylmer I Bridge, towards Brofnptonville, rnd j approximately ten feet from the [ shore.Cyrille Veilleux, a carter, of 21b Convent street, and Armand Plante 110 Marquette street, discovered the body while walking along the retaining wall bordering th\u20ac river The two men had frequently searched along the river for the lad since the afternoon of his death.The body -was first noticed at 7:15 o\u2019clock.Police were called and the young victim removed from the water shortly before eight o\u2019clock.The body was taken by ambulance to the morgue.Lieut.Omer Daudelin Constable Albert Bell and A.Pelletier, using a rowboat, brought the body to shore.Son of Mr.ond Mrs.Clodimire Cloutier, 21 Bowen avenue north, nine-year-old Valmore drowned Saturday afternoon, May 6th, when he fell into the St.Francis river while playing on the retaining wall with two companions, Roland Moreau, thirteen, of 60 Bowen avenue north, and Gerald Ainsley, twelve, of 44 Bowen avenue north.The lad toppled into the swift current wdien he lost his balance after hurling a board into the water.His companions threw a piec^ of ware towards the spot where he had sunk beneath the surface, but their efforts to effect a rescue were in vain.In the days following the drowning boats manned by private citizen and police dragged the river continually, extending their operations past Bromptonville, in an effort to recover the body.A verdict of accidenta! death clue to drowning, was returned at the inquest conducted by Maurice De lorine, joint coroner of the St.F:an cis District, this morning.NEWSY ITEMS ) -IHE

when her great-grandson, the King, standing before a microphone in the heart of the senior Dominion, broadcasts an Empire Day message to his 500,-000,000 subjects.The Winnipeg event marks another outstanding feature in the precedent-shattering tour of the King and Queen, the first British sovereign and his consort to visit a self-governing Dominion.It will be the first Empire message ever delivered over the air by the King away from England.There is an added significance in the fact that as Canada observes the 120th anniversary of the Good Queen\u2019s birthday, her great-grandson will be honored in the hub of the great grain industry which had its genesis in the Empire expansion marking the latter part of her reign.Last December the King intimated it was his intention to discontinue the practice of making a broadcast address on Christmas Day.It was His Majesty\u2019s desire that the Christmas broadcast should be associated with the memory of his father, King George V.At that time the King expressed a wish to broadcast a message on May 24, observed in all parts of the Empire except Canada as \u201cEmpire Day.\u201d Thirty-eight years after Victoria\u2019s death, Canada still keeps Vic-toria Day as a public holiday in her memory, Empire Day ceremonies and school exercises being held on the last school day preceding May As they listen to the King\u2019s message Canadians will recall the historic steps in the growth of the Empire in Victoria\u2019s time and seventy years in their own country that led to the emergence of Canada as a self-governing nation, In recent years many of the ceremonies, military parades and bonfires that at one time marked the celebration of Victoria Day have been forgotten.The advent of the motor-car brought opportunities for enjoying the countryside in its spring attire and generally the day is marked as the first outdoor holiday of the year, \u201cThe Maple Leaf Forever,\u201d Alexander Muir\u2019s great national hymn will find a place on programmes from one end of the country to the other.Some mav recall it was first sung at 5:avertaon, Ont., on Vic- Dismissal Of Police Officials Condemned By Mayor Armitage Mayor Marcus Armitage, speaking in an official capacity as Chief Magistrate of Sherbrooke, today summed up the results of the police investigation, by which Chief 11.O.Camirand, Deputy Chief Joseph Prunier and Capt.Maurice Lacharite were last night dismissed from office, in the following words: \u201cIn my opinion a grave injustice has been sanctioned by the Council in dismissing the three heads of our Fire and Police Departments.I have always respected and admired our Chief and 1 feel justified in stating publicly that after listening to all of the police inquiry ! find no just cause to change my appreciation and respect for his valuable serviced.\u201cIt is a most inhuman act to reward the loyal and faithful services which have been rendered by these three officials over a period extending from fifteen to thirty-one years with such a dismissal and even then not stating any reason for this action.One of the discharged officers was not even granted the right to answer charges made against him.\u201d Formation Of New Protestant Group To Control Education Is Suggested In order to have a well-organized and modern Protestant School system in the Province of Quebec there should be set up a board consisting of from seven to twelve persons chosen from the Protestant section of the province on the basis of intelligence, judgment, fairness and willingness to give consideration to suggestions and who will work with others for the common good, it was suggested by Dr.W.Ü.Roth-ney, head of the Department of Education at the University of Bishop\u2019s College in an address to the Compton County Teachers\u2019 Associaton.This group would work with the head of the educa tional system, who should be \u201cthe most highly qualified, highly trained, experienced educational expert which the English-speaking world can afford.\u201d Primary task of this group of people would be to secure the head of the educational system and with his help the other specialists who would work with him as a Department of Education.This board of seven to twelve persons would be the Protestant Committee of the Council of Education.They would not attempt to administer the schools, Dr.Rothney said, but would leave that to the Department of Education, which would consist of specialists in administration, curriculum construction, teacher training, etc.They would consider policies submitted to them and give approval or disapproval; they would require evidence of the successful operation of the.schools from time to time and would judge of the adequacy of the results being secured.To select such a Protestant Committee Dr.Rothncy suggested the Association of School Boards choose three, the Montreal School Board rare, the teachers of the province three more, the teachers of the province two and add to these the heads of two universities.Greatest problem facing teachers in the Protestant schools today is the problem of how to put modern educational ideals and modern methods of teaching into practice in an antiquated school system, Dr.Rothney said.\u2018Many of our buildings and much of our equipment are still of the type designed for the impartation of knowledge merely, rather than for the development of personality; designed for listening rather than for living; adapted to Fascist rule rather than democratic government,\u201d he stated.\u201cWe still make pupils pay fees and buy their own textbooks, undesirable relics of the past long outlived by progressive school systems.Our curriculum is still the one academic course of last century, in spite of the camouflage of printing the same subjects in two lists and calling one list \u2018general\u2019 and the other \u2018academic.\u2019 We have no adequately differentiated course of study providing for differences in ability, interest and vocational expectation.Our present course of study is a re-conditioned nineteenth century model, not a twentieth century model at all,\u201d Dr.Rothncy declared.\u201cThe educational task of today is to make the best citizen possible o: every pupil, but that cannot be done by doing the same thing to every pupil,\u201d he said.\u201cMost pupils j need a lot of special training and all j pupils need some.If the task is to Ido accomplished, we must have highly trained, expert teachers and administrators, provided with modern buildings and equipment, operating a well-organized, modern school system.\u201d_____________________________ toria Day, 1871.A Canadian also receives credit for the establishment of Empire Day.It was Mrs.Clementina Fessenden, of Hamilton, Ont., whose efforts resulted in the Hamilton School Board in 1898 setting aside one school afternoon of the year as \u201cFlag Day.\u201d The observance spread and in 1902 Empire Day was bedng | celebrated in the United Kingdom and other parts of the Empire, tho : Earl of Meath being responsible for the growth of the movement outside of Canada.rs MEN TO AID ' OF GRANDSTAND Members

cherished by their recipients than monetary considerations.Thousands of men and women are prepared to render great service to the state in time of need and do not look for material gains, and it is rather short-sighted on the part of the Dominion Government to place a limit upon the privileges of His Majesty to reward these individuals in a manner whioh he sees fit.Canadians have shown that they

ENDED?The probe into Sherbrooke\u2019s Police Department concluded last night with the special committee, by a vole of seven to four, recommending the dismissal of Chief H.0.Camirand, Deputy Chief J.Prunier and Captain Maurice Lacharite.Immediately following the adjournment of the probe a meeting of the City Council was held when the dismissals were sanctioned by a vote of eight to two.At this later meeting Mayor Arrnitage, who in committee had voted against the dismissals, was not allowed to vote.So far as the majority of the Council members were concerned this was the winding up of the Police Department probe which has been stretched out over a period of several months with the citizens kept ¦totally in the dark as to the proceedings.There is much speculation as to what w'ent on behind the closed doors, but the Council assumed the role of municipal dictators and the ratepayers were in no way taken into consideration.Today Sherbrooke is without the services of its Chief of Police and its Deputy Chief, two men who have each served the city for more than a quarter of a century.Certainly, the ratepayers should not accept last night\u2019s verdict without knowing the full facts of the case.The Mayor is understood to have expressed himself in no uncertain terms on the manner in which the probe was conducted.He is, in fact, re ported to have stated that the evidence which was advanced was of a very minor nature.The whole probe, in the opinion of the Chief Magistrate, if rumors can be relied upon, w as unjust and a disgrace lo the city.It can hardly be expected that the city\u2019s heavy taxpayers will tolerate such procedure.It is the men who have large financial interests in the city who are most vitally concerned in its welfare.Certainly they have a right to know what is going on.The City Council has been given every opportunity of carrying on the probe without outside interference.The aldermen have met at will and they have adjourned and postponed their deliberations at will.One thing, however, is certain, and that is that the Council was not of one mind.The Mayor and three of the aldermen were opposed to the verdict.They did not consider that the evidence brought forward was of a serious nature, and they did not think that the dismissal of the three department officials was warranted.On the other hand it is well known that certain members of the Council are, and have been for some time, antagonistic towards the Chief of Police.Now that the City Council has had its say, the ratepayers should make themselves heard.The evidence submitted during the probe has been recorded and is available at the City Hall.The citizens have a right to know the nature of this evidence.In view of the division of opinion among the Council members and the general trend of public opinion, which is decidedly against the manner in which the whole probe has been handled, a citizens\u2019 meeting should be called immediately to arrange for a representative delegation to wait upon the Council ¦nd demand to know all details regarding the probe.In the meantime a Court injunction could easily be taken out to prevent the carrying out of the Council\u2019s decision until all facts are made clear and the ratepayers are convinced that the probe was an impartial one and that the evidence advanced warranted the serious action which has been taken.NEW GOVERNMENT DEVICE Local and state Government is supposed in the United Slates to act as a laboratory to try out new devices of government which, if successful, the whole country might adopt.The slates have not been as resourceful in this regard as they might have been.But New Jersey is now trying something worth watching.It has established a Stale Department of Local Government.For the first time, the National Municipal League reports, a state embarks on a programme of continuous and comprehensive guidance of the affairs of its cities.The department will seek uniformity of records and accounting, so that cost comparisons between cities can be made.It will give free and competent advice to any city in fiscal or administrative problems.It will centre in one responsible agency the administration of all state laws relating to and regulating municipal practices.If this works, it might give badly-needed aid to municipal government, long a weak spot in American public administration.TIMELY COMMENTS -* *- CANADIAN PRESS Women should stand up for their ;\tWAR\u2019S DEMANDS rights!

and the spare tire, new forms of taxes have been loaded through successive administrations upon that hard-driven vehicle, the taxpayer.The sales tax has proved itself to be, from the tax collector\u2019s standpoint, one of the least painful forms of taxation.Like the tremendously heavy yet unseen lurden of the atmosphere, the sales tax presses down everywhere upon a largely unaware

enthusiastic reception accorded Their Majesties in all parts of the Dominion so far ysited gives a clear indication that the great majority of the Canadian people are real Royalists at heart and that they favor the old British traditions while favoring the democratic system of Government.In this respect, a definite lead has been given the administration to restore to His Majesty the right of bestowing honors, either through titles or special decorations on outstanding Canadians who have rendered some particular service to the country.Aside from a few rather biased individuals, the Canadian people as a whole are convinced of the effectiveness of titles and decorations as a reward in certain fields of endeavors.The bestowal of the King's Honors has long been one way in which the British Empire has been able to thank those of its citizens, and foreigners as well, who have done some particularly outstanding service in the field of statesmanship, science or letters.In the majority of cases they have replaced cash rewards THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Files of the Sherbrooke Record.May 23rd, 1909.Expected to be one of the finest equipped buildings in the Province when

.600 DEATHS REPORTED -* ROBERT JOHNSTONE, WATERVILLE.Waterville, May 20.\u2014Mr.Robert Johnstone died at the residence of his brother, Mr.David L.Johnstone, Waterville, Tuesday morning, May 9th, in his ninety-second year.He was the son of William and Mary Richmond Johnstone and was born in Montreal on August 5, 1847.The family moved to Waterville while Robert was still a boy and owned the farm on the hill now owned by Mr.Peter Sarrasin.He lived there until he retired about ten years ago, when he moved into the village, and had since resided with his brother, Mr.David L.Johnstone, the only one of a family of five sons and three daughters now living, three brothers and three sisters having predeceased him.He was well and favorably known in the community where he had spent most of his long life.A hard worker and devoted to the farm, he was known as a kindly man, a good neighbor, interested in all the affairs of the community, of a happy, cheerful disposition, and was popular with all who knew him.He well remembered the first service of the Congregational Church held in Waterville in 18S2, at which as a boy of fourteen he was present, He early linked himself to that church and loved it and served it with all his power.After Church Union he carried his loyalty into the new organization.Among those who attended his funeral besides Mr.and Mrs.D.L.Johnstone were Miss Maude Cote, of Lcnnoxville, a niece, Miss Mae Johnstone, a niece, of Westfield, N.J., Mr.William Evans, a nephew, and Mrs, Evans, of Lennoxville, and Mr.and Mrs.Charles Herring, of Lennoxvillle.The beautiful floral tributes and telegrams sent by relatives from a distance bore tribute to the high esteem in which the departed was held.The funeral service was held in the United Church on Thursday, May 11, and was conducted by his pastor, assisted by the Rev.F.Matthews, B.A., of Lcnnoxville, and the Rev.Canon E.R.Roy,-Anglican rector of Waterville.Hymns sung by the choir were, \u201cNow The Labourer\u2019s Task Is O'er,\u201d and \u201cSafe In The Arms Of Jesus.\u201d He was borne to his last resting place in Elmwood Cemetery, Sherbrooke, and laid by the side of his mother by officials of the Waterville United Church, Dr.P.Colqu-houn, Mr.John H.Woodside and Mr.Stephen Pocock acting as honorary pall-lbearers, and Messrs.H.S.Ball, R.L.Gale, W.H.Baglow, Thomas Smith, R.E.Smith and Eric
