Several other matters were decided: by the Board, including the adopting of the official name of the "Oshawa Collegiate and Voca- tional Institute," the placing of $128,000 in fire insurance on the new building and the awarding of contracts for various work in con- nection with the public schools. Name A The Board decided, upon recom- mendation of the 'management committee, to adopt the name of "Collegiate and Vocational Insti- tute" for the new school, compris- ing collegiate and technical schoos, on Simcoe street north, Contracts : Let The Mundy Printing Company o the Governor-General and his was formally awarded the contract AGAIN CONSIDER 1 PURCHASE OF NEW SITE FOR SCHOOL Matter Had Been Held Up on Account of Price COMMITTEE TO ACT Price of $500 an Acre in Offer to City Explained by Chairman Further consideration was given by the Board of Education last night to the purchase of the Everson proper- ty at Alice street and Central Park Boulevard for a site for a new school. A committee comprising chairman of the board, A. W. Bell and Trustee E. L. Vickery, chairman of the prop- erty committee, was instructed 'o confer further with Mr. Everson in connection with the matter and re- port to the board at its next meet- 1 ng. At the last meeting of the boatd, it was decided to purchase this pro- perty, which comprises four acres, from T, H. Everson at $1,200 per acre, or $4,800 in all. Following the meeting, however, it was found that this was part of a block of land which Mr. Everson was offering at the same time to the city council for an in- dustrial area, at $500 per acre, so the purachase of the four acres was ne- ver completed by the board. Letter From Mr. Everson A letter was received last night from T. H, Everson to the effect that since he had not been officially noti- fied of any acceptance of his offer to sell a portion of his land on Alice street to the board for a new school site, he would not consider his offer binding any further should he re- ceive an advantageous offer else- where. Chairman's Explanation When the matter came before the board last night, the chairman of the board, A. W. Bell, reported that it had been found that this was part of the land being offered to the city as an industrial area. The price of $500 per acre applied to a large block of land, however, and the four acres picked by the board was the best site of the whole property, he declared. The fact that it was a smaller block of land, would also account for the fact that the price quoted per acre was larger, he said. On motion of Trustees Annis and Alchin the board went into committee of the whole on the question, and when the board reconvened Trustees Bell and Vickery were named a com- mittee to report back to the board on the exact location of 'the site and on other details in connection with an agreement of sale drawn up by Mr, Everson, for the printing of the annual an- nouncement of the Collegiate 1n- stitute, at $164.50 Other prices quoted were, Alger Press $250, ana Clancy-McLeod, $285 Miller & Libby were awarded the contract for supplying 12 toueus, complete with seats, at $24.50 ea., a total of $296. Fred Guscott and F. D. Sharrard both submitted low- er quotations, but for a cheaper type of equipment. Trustee Gar- butt raised an objection to letting the contract to the highest bidder, but 'was voted down on division. The Board decided to defer unt1) next year the installing of the Car- bo system of grates and preheated forced draft in the heating system of Ritson school at a cost of appro- ximately $900. The grading of Ritson school grounds was also deferred until next year, but a cinder sidewalk will be constructed as a temporary expedient, at a cost of $50, from the end of Clarke street to tne north side of the school, The Board confirmed the action of former property supervisor C. C. Stenhouse in awarding to C. B. De- Guerre, contract for electrical re- pairs on Simcoe south school and Cedardale school. Insurance Placed Fire insurance totalling $128,- 000 was placed on the new Voca- tional Institute as follows: Cutler & Preston, $38,000; J. H. R. Luke, $40,000; A. E. Murdoch, $10,000; V. A. Henry, $10,000; J. C. Young, $15,000; Davis & Son, $15,000. The Board decided to place a $10,000 Fidelity Bond with the Ro- yal Insurance Co., on C. H. R. Ful- ler, the new business administra- tor, and deposit the same with the city clerk, as provided in the Pub- lic Schools Act. Some discussion arose on the ac- count of C. A. Kinnear for ac- counting on the Board of Educa- tion books and bringing them up to date from March to August 1. Trustee Garbutt declared that the Board should not pay this account, as Kinnear was engaged by former gecretary-treasurer J. A. McGibbon, and not by the Board. The question was then advanced as to the arrangement under which C. C. Stenhouse had been acting as bookkeeper for the Board. Some of the trustees were of the opimion that he had been doing this work for J. A. McGibbon, and that the responsibility for doing it rested with Mr. McGibbon, while other members of the Board thought that he had been doing it under instruction from the Board. Mr. Stenhouse had given notice early in the year that he would no longer oe able to look after the Board's books and had refused to accept his ex- tra allowance of $16.66 per month (Continued pn page 7), PRINCIPAL CANNON REPORTS 45 PUPILS WERE REFUSED AT LOCAL PU OPTOMETRISTS OF ONTARIO MET IN CONVENTION LOCAL SPECIALISTS IN ATTENDANCE AT BLIC SCHOOLS Classrooms Forced to Ac- commodate Many More Pupils Then the Maxi- mum Allowed by the De- partment of Education--- Committee to Investigate 864 REGISTERED AT COLLEGIATL MEETINGS | Interesting Addresses Were | Delivered by Outstand- | . | inz Men | | The summer 'convention of the Op- | tometrical Association of Ontario for | 1929 was held on Friday and Satur- day of last week in Toronto, and was attended by two delegates from this city, Dr. C.

Thompson, M.A, Dean of the College of Op- tometry of Canada, proved one of the most interesting addresses of the day. Dr. Thompson went to some length in outlining the growth of the col- lege from a small class in a single class room, to the position it now tholds in possesing its own building, fully equipped, mechanically and otherwise' to meet the requirements of the students as they arc enrolled. The speaker also compared the growth of the Ontario College as compared to those institutions loca- ted in certain southerh states step by step from a course of from one year tc four years, showing the advantages (Continued on/page 7) Registration Is One Hundred Higher Than on Opening Day Last Year, and Is Likely to Exceed 900 -- 78 Are Registered in Technica!

F. Cannon, super- vising principal of the Oshawa Public Schools. The pinch was felt particularly at North Simcoe school, where 10 children who wanted to start school had to be turned away. About 35 other children in other parts of the city had also had to be refused admission due to lack of class- room accomodation. All of the children refused admittance were over the required age of five years, but would not have been six, in any case, until after Christmas, A ruling of the Department of Edu- cation had given him authority fo UNUSUAL ADDRESS THE ROTARY CLUB BRYN MAWR COLLEGE PROFESSOR WAS THF. SPEAKER Dr. T. R. S. Broughton Spoke on Romanization of | Northern Africa Members. of the Oshawa Rotary Club, at yesterday's luncheon, heard an address of a decidedly different character, an address which took them back to the davs of the glory and power of ancient Rome, and was a real lesson in the Roman methods of civilization and colonization. The speaker was Dr. T. R. S. Broughton, professor of Latin at the famous Bryn Mawr Ladies' College, Philadelphia, Pa., and his subject, an unusual one for a Rotary gathering, was "The Romanization of the Province of Africa." His address was both Informa- tive and interesting, since it dealt, first of all, with the background of the Roman Colonies along the northern shore of Africa in the days following the murder of Jul- jug Caesar, and the civil wars in which Mark Anthony and Octavius Caesar defeated those who had con- spired for Caesar's murder. The goldiers of Mark Anthony and Oct- avius, said the speaker, had been promised grants of land in Italy, and in order to fulfil this promise it was decided to confiscate the land of about 170,000 people in that ancient land. These people were, in turn, sent to the province of Africa, and there formed the basis of the Roman Colony. Prof. Broughton gave much in- teresting information on the economic and social conditions of these ancient times, and particul- arly stressed the fact that the native Punic races of the colonized area had never become fully Rom- anized nor assimilated. In fact, he pointed out, although they had been conquered successively by three successive types of ancieat civilizaton, they had always re- mained Punic. He had hopes, how- ever, that eventually the French colonization of the present day might accomplish what the others had failed to do, Prof. Broughton recently paid an extensive visit to northern Africa for the purpose of studying for a thesis.on the subject of his address, and his, touches of local color added much to the interest of the subject to his audience, The thanks of the club were ably ex- pressed by Rotarian C.
