On several occa. slons the local night school has been disturbed by unknown per- sons rapping at the class room win~ dows and there are instances where grates have been removed from the basement windows. Trustee Joseph King was strong- ly opposed to any action which might bring suspected children in- to police court, He considered that if warning were given and the pupils informed qf the seriousness of such acts of mischief this wonld RED ROSE TE LL) is good ted' Red Rose Orange Pekoe is the best tea you can buy u In clean, bright Aluminum Long Wear is only One Virtue of a Majestic Serge Suit You get that smart, rich-looking blue found only in this finest of serges, You get shapeliness--the kind that endures because it's tailored into the cloth by hand, Best of all, you get character--a rare but unmistakable distinction of style.

Trustee A, T, Lawler added that there was no proof that the school children had been guilty of disturbing anyone. The chairman, Dr. H, Bascom, will inform the po- lice that they have a right to tect school property after school hours, Teacher Resign The resignation of Miss Ada Sleep from the teaching staff of the Brock street public school was re- ceived, to take effect from the first of November. The management committee was authorized to ad- vertise for a new teacher and in the meantinie a supply will be en- gaged. The matter of improving the drainage for the high school grounds was explained by 8, Spall, school architect, He pointed out that the drain pipe runs from the southeast corner of the grounds to the northeast corner and there connects with the town drain on Colborne street, The connecting pipe had not been laid at the prop- er angle and further it was found that the town drain was clogged. Steps had been taken to remedy the situation, he claimed, and the town drain was being taken up and eplaced, old Air Rink The question of providing open air rink facilities for the children of the town was also taken up at last night's meeting, Dr, Bascom pointed out that there was little opportunity for local boys and girls to enjoy this splendid winter sport in Whitby unless they paid for the privilege at a rink. He thought some arrangement might be made with the management of the Burne' arena, whereby the rink could be used during afternoons, Trustee Larkin, however, opined that the town should provide am open air rink at the park, Offers Assistance The expense he stated would not be great and the children of the community would be able to engage in skating and hockey without any cost to them, Otherwise there would be no place to go unless to the harbor which is out of the question on account of its distance from the heart of the town. In this connection Trustee Harden pointed out that the Brock street Home and School Club had recent~ ly passed a resolution offering to assist the South Ward ratepayers association in providing an open air rink for the Brock street school, Should a 1k be made at the town park this other would not be nec- essary, The board favored Mr, Larkin's suggestion. and the chairman ex- pressed pleasure when a committee including Trustees Larkin, Harden and Webster was appointed to bring the matter hefore the council, Election Bylaw The secretary, Dr. ©. F, McGil- livray, informed the hoard that it was his opinion that future boards should be elected by the town at large and not by the present system of wards, He did not consider that there was any authority for thep resent system and acting on this suggestion, Trustee King gave notice that he would introduce a bylaw at the next meeting to have the six elective members of the hoard brought into office by vote of the whole municipality. A contract for papering the south room of the mew high school was awarded to Frank Wells, his tender nt $52 being considered the best of three received, Grant Upon motion of Trustee Lawler, seconded hy Trustee Brown, the usual grant of $12.60 to the High Sihool Literary Society was made, A grant of $10 wes also made to the Interschool Athletic Boclety, and the hoard expressed its grati- tude for the fine showing which the school athletes had made in the inter-school meet last October, Those present at last night's meeting fneluded Dr, H., Bascom, chairman; Dr. C. ¥, McGillivruy, secretary; Trustees Walter Bunn, A.
