LYNCHING DECREASE (New York Telegram) However hard a time New York and the rest of the country may have in dealing with other crimes, it is gratifying to note the steady progress that is being made with regard to lynching. There has not been a lynching in the United States since the first day of January. This fact is worth recording, be- cause' it breaks a thirty-nine-year record. Mo crime has been more peculiar to the United States, or has dis- graced it more distinctly in the eyes of the world, than mob violence, This country has held a unigue position among eivilized nations be- cause of the hundreds of thousands of helpless people it has killed without due process of jaw and be- cause of its failure to apprehend misuse of special immigration per- and punish those responsible.

Wednesday, moderate southeast winds, mostly cloudy, showers in western counties, Board of Education Finally | Disposes of Long Debated Question of County Pu- pils Attending Oshawa Collegiste -- To Send a Letter to County Council be » Notifying That Body of Final Decision ---- The problem of fees for county pupils attending the Oshawa Col- legiate Institute was finally dis- posed of at the meeting of the Board of Education last night. They decided that, if the County Council does not decide to pay the full 100 percent of the cost of maintenance of County Pupils at the Collegiatz, ag well as 80 percept of the deben- ture cost, that the Oshawa Board will collect from each county pupil $15 per year in addition to the 80 percent of maintenance and 80 percent of . debenture cost , now levied against the county. This will, in eff~ct, accomplish 'almost the sam: purpose as levy- ing 100 percent of the maintenance cost against the county, ds $Lb 18 almost, if not guite, twenty per- cent of the maintenande cost, The local Board's primary reason for setting the figure at $15 was bowever, because W. Pollard, chairman of the Educational Com- .nittee of the County Council, had in a letter to the local Board sug- gested this very course of action-- that the Oshawa Board collect from each pupils $15 per year in addition to what the county mow pays, said Trustee H. S. Smith, chairman of the finance committe® in whose report the above recommendation was contained. Some of the trustees thought that the figure should be $22, which would cover, they said, the total -amount of the difference in both maintenance and 'debenture cost, and Chajrman T. B. Mitchell thought that the amount should be left open, so that the exact figure of the difference in the mainter- ance cost could be filled in. Trustee E. L. Vickery expressed the opinion that it was much bet- ter to leave the matter as it was in the finance committee's report, be- cause if the rate was the same as the County Council, through the Chairman of their Educational Committee, suggested, they could bave no come-back, while other- wise the County Council might take an opportunity to quibble over the question.

The property committee were instructed to take the necessary steps to provide the addtion, which will consist of four class rooms and two basement play rooms, con- vertible to class rooms in case of emergency, No estimate of the cost is yet available, This action was decided upon by a combined meeting of the man- agement and property committees of the Board, and their report was upanimously accepted hy the Board last evening, It reads: "Our' present school buildings are favorably located geographical- ly, and are so designed that addi- tional rooms can be added at the minimum expediture, "After checking the entire situ- ation, and determining where the worst congestion exists, we recom- mend that this board instruct the property committee to take the nec- essary steps to provide an addition to the Ritson Road School, This addition to consist of four class rooms and two hasement play roonrs, The basement play rooms to be so finished that they can be used as class rooms in ease of emer- gency, and that these rooms be ready for occupancy on Septem- ber 1st, 1928." In commenting on the report, Trustee H, 8, Smith, who seconded its adoption, said that, in his opin- fon, the committee had selected the idea] location for extension, to gar- ry over the immediate pressure and glve the Board tinre to look around, On motion of Trustees Norris and Drew, C. C. Stenhouse was ap- pointed architect, and the plans, which has already been prepared, were laid on the table without fur- ther discussion. According to the plans submit- ted by Mr. Stenhouse, the addition will be built on to the north end of the present Ritson Road School building, which contains eight class rooms. The addition will be about 38 by 60 feet in size, and two stor- fes in height to match the present building. There will be two class rooms on each floor, with the two play rooms in the basement semi- finished so that they can be turned into class rooms if necessary. The specifications are such that the ad- dition will mateh the present strue- ture in every way. Walls will be of brick and tile, with steel rein- forcing, on a conerete block foun- dation with asphalt and gravel roof. Maple floors and fir interior trim- ming will be used. The addition will, of course, be heated by an extension of the present steam heat- fng system. It is expected that the property committee will have a report on this project to present to the Board in a couple of weeks.

It was very evident, from the city's standpoint, that the time was near at hand when it would have to econ- sidér extensions to the Collegiate Institute, which would cost $80,- 000 if it were to he brought up to date and satisfy the demand for a period of years. If the city spgnt $20,000 move and built a technical school, it would have $100,000 worth of school accommodation given to it, L "Twenty-five per cent of the pu- pils attending the Collegiate would be better served by a Vocational Department than in the Academie division, In the academic classes, they are like the square peg in a round hole," continued Trustee Smith, "We are preparing men for professions, when there is no work for them in Canada at the present time, and they have to go to the United States and ofher countries to make their living, Students would not require Entrance qualifi- cations to enter Vocational School, whieh would take care of those who were too old to continue in Public School, yet who had failed to pass the entrance examination, and Vo- cational School would give them a far more practical training." In answer to questions by the trustees, Mr. Smith stated that the senior auxiliary classes could be continued in the Vocational Schools, and that it would take care of the pupils of about 13, who bad passed the entrance and who had not entered Collegiate, though the law technically required it, Thus the law that is on the statute books would be more rigidly en- forced. Trustee Smith also stated that the eity could probably teach Agriculture in the Vocational School, and receive a granteof $500 per year from the county. Chairman Mitchell -- "From what?" .
