In districts wherc Uic !dea has been applied, people are for 1t; It i. spneading over Ontario, so fan, mostly in a democnatic man- ner. That Is how if may best be introduccd. For that reason, bath wlde publicity and discussion are necessary. r ]Prof. Simsoes Research In introducing Uic subject ho- -fore the Orno: audience, Prof. Sissns mde ue ofa iai o the Township, showing fhe 18 School Sections autside ai Newcastle. It included Orono pupils ta tie nuai- ber ai 69, but saine af Uic rural schools werc shown with enrail- ment as low-as 5, 7, 8, 10 and 11. This formed Uic background for a lotter he directed ta thc Munici- pal Council ai Clarke, Oct. 1, 1941, which brought ta its attention, these points: In 1890, enrollaient in Twp. ichools was 1032, with average attendance ai 683. In r 1940, Uic figures were 407 and 304, rcspectively, ta maît cases with tic sanieschools operafing. In 1940, cxcluding Orono, (a pal- * ice village), the average attend- ance over Uic Twp. was 13.6 pu- pils; Uic cost, $72.00 per pupil. Tax Brea.kdoýwn To meet this cosf, taxation was necessary as follows: (1). Provin- cial grant, $2754.43; (2) County grant, $219.43; (3) Township grant, $10,200.00; (&) Trustee levy, $4,558.81. Total fax money for ichool purposes dug ouf ai twP.' pocketi was 58% ta provide $600 for oaci îchaol, whatçver Uic af- tendance. That. i plai enougi. Prof. Sissons pointcd out Uic S inescapable truth Uiat a ichoal with smail attendance is. lois effi- cient than anc with 30 or more, while a scixool with 'i0 or under i. scarcely a school at ail. This contention was enlarged upan later by Chief Inspector Greer.

Though such a move seems superfluous at the moment when guards are' occupied on aimait 24-hour service searching for an es- caped man, citizens are as- sured that the winter months guarantee the need for such quiet recreation. To facilitate collections leave magazines ai Dean Hodgson's or at Frank "Barb" Pethick's. DRESPUNQ ROOM TOIBE BUILT AT ROTARY PARK A light frame building is to be erected in conjunction *ith the new open air rink at Rotary Park. Bowmanville Rotary Club is exe- cuting this project as part of its community betterment prograin for 1942. Under the direction of T. H. iCnight, R. R. Stevens and Jack McKeever the ground has been lcvelled and is now ready for an ice surface as moon as the Weather Man provides the right tempera- turc. When the Club met Friday a half hour -was spent in discus- sion about what type of building could most profitably'be erected there for changing skates, etc. An ambitious project to build some- thing permanent that could be used for a community centre was finally turned down ini favor of a small frame structure. Reporting on finances R. L. Mitchell said the club had about $4000 i the bank of which $1000 is car-niarked for war purposes, $700 for crippled children's work, some for thc rink projcct, leaving around $2000 ta be. spent as the club secs fit.* Vice President Fred C.

A cost of $72.00 per pupil was simply eco- nomic waste. As contrast, in Orono, with highcr salaries, modern cquip- ment and greater efficiency, the cost is' $48.00 per pupil, two- thirds less. The speaker conclud- cd with a reminder that this Is 'var tinie and public, expenditure should be curtailed; that widely in Ontario, the plan was bcing cm- braced; that the matter was one of simple comman sense, accept- able in a democratic way,' with two prime benefits, ffrit, a great saving af money, second, a much highcr standard of health anid .education for the childrcn. Prof. Sions, resident for 20 'ycars in the Twp., sugXested -that the Council was cmfpowcred by law ta deal with the situation but that taxpayers were the final arbiters and hence the present meeting to explore the facts.
