The fact that the work at this school includes full matricu- lation for both honour and pass, first and onal courses, as well as lower and middle classes rie griculture shows the wide scope of the educational work carried on.

FINE AUDITORIUM AND GYMNASIUM FEATURE ADDITION (Continued from Opposite Page) of the students for girls at the west gnd and for boys at the east. These conveniences include shower baths and wash basins with hot and cold water at all times, The whole new building has been connected with 'the old school and from the inside it is hard to tell when one leaves one to enter the other. Some Inferesting Facts The now addition was commen- ced on May 2, 1929 when a huge steam shovel started work on the excavation of the cellar where the gymnasium now stands. The contract ha been let to the Herod Construction Company of Mimico for the sum of approxi- mately $97,000 and under the cap- able guidance of the superinten- dent, Mike Waite, the building soon began to take shape. The Herod Cnstruction Company built anost of the modern plant of the Geodyear Tire and Rubber Company at New Toronto, The company was once a small concern 'building only houses, while siow it is one of the largest construction firme {n the province. The wage bill during the build- ing of the addition was between $20,000 and $25,000 a great deal of this going into local worker's pockets, The number of brick used reach: ed the total of 344,860. The Booth Brick Company supplied the out- side rug brick; 83,500 of these were used, while Standard Brick supplied other bricks. There were 1827 bags of lime, 2480 bags of cement used all of which was sup. plied by local merchants, McClel- lan & Co., and Holgate & Son, Sand and gravel to the value of $1040 was used to make concreto and mortar and this was delivered by Frank McNally ot Oshawa. 165 stone pillars Fig used 'on the front of the building greatly adding to the beauty of the exter- for.. These were supplied by Vokes & Sons. Len Elliott, local plumber re- ceived the contract for the plumb- ing and steamfitting running into $20,000... He had the work com- plete and ready for steam to be turned on September 21. The Architect was G. Roper Guinlock, of Bay Street, Toronto, who is the largest designer of schools in the province of Ontario. Mr. Guinlock, although having many other big jobs on his hands during the summer months was of- ten down to Bowmanville seeing that every thing was going smooth ly.

VANSTONE Manufacturers of Eclipse Flour THE FLOUR YOUR BAKING THAT MAKES A SUCCESS Excellent for Cakes and Pastry Minister of Education HON. G. HOWARD FERGUSON There are a great many citizens in Bowmanville who are not fully aware of the fact that the counties council will have to pay a, large proportion of the cost of the new high school, and not only the cost but the maintenance. Although the town assumes the debentures as 1s usual with all schoo! buildings the government will pay a cortain percentage leav- ing the rest to be accounted for. This is divided up in proportion to the number of students from the town and the number from the country, Even when the original cost is disposed of the counties will stil] have to pay fo- each pupil from the couniy that attends the school, which will be in the neigh- borhood of thirty per cent. who have in the past believed that Bowmanville would bave to assume the whole cost of the building Will therefore see that although the school bears the name of the town a considerable part of the expend- iture and the upkeep is paid by the United Counties of Durham and Northumberland, Bake Shop Destroyed Belleville.~--His bake shop com- pletely gutted by a disastrous fire. a heavy loss, as the contents were only partiaily insured, the exact amount not known, Those | An Explanation | W.

Dloard Prominent Citizens Offer Congratulations on School BY J. H, B. JURY, That we have a High School Building every citizen may well feel proud of, is a fact that no one can successfully dispute. That it has been economically built one can deny, That it 'was an absolutely necessary expense is admitted by gevery one who has gone into the subject carefully and knows the trying conditions under which both teachers and scholars were laboring in the old building. Both the School Board and Coun~ ell spent many strenuous hours trying to economize in every way possible without sacrificing the best interests of the students. As a member of the High School Board, I have every confidence that as the years go by all will realize more and more the wisdom of the | Board in undertaking work which | has been so satisfactorily eomplet- | ed. | My sincere desire is that coming | | generations of pupils may find in | | the improved conditions an incen- tive to greater effort; and that our | echool may continue to stand in the front ranks among the educa- tional institutions of our country, | both as to the equipment and con veniences of our school, and th ability and conscientious services | of our teaching staff. | BY W. ¥. WARD, B.A. Barrister and Police Magistrate | On the occasion of the opening of Bowmanville's enlarged and re- | juvenated High School, the first | thought on the part of a Bowman- ville citizen is one of pride, and the second thought is one of satis- | faction that hy the improvements | made, Bowmanville High School is | better equipped to satisfy its onus | as the Community Centre of Educa- tion for the Township of Darling ton. and the Town of Bowmanville, in the County of Durham, The war left many evils in its trail, but one of the effects which is outstanding and Leneficial is the undoubted advance In the standard of education of the average child. It used to be that to pass the en- trance was the goal of the greater boys and girls Now they go on to high school, at doubt that the powers have found improvements neces- sary following the larger attend- ance created by the desire for high- er education on the part of prac- tically every child nowadays, Public school is not enough. They must have some high school training. We arc living in a new age of ambition and enlightment. The world may not be as happy as it was before the war, but the people certainly ars more intelli- gent and better educated. It 13 gratifying to see that the Bowman- realizes | the demands being made upon | their institution. BY CHARLES ¥. RICE Chairman of the Public School Board As chairman of the public school board' I feel:that an 'occasion of this kind cannot be 1.5 pass with- out' congratulating our fellow trus- tees of the high school board on thelr initiative fn providing for the older studerts of Bowmanville and surrounding country a school, mod- ern in every t. and one that will compare: very favourably with any in the province of Ontario. The need "ec? higher education of the academe grade in modern life becomes 'more apparent each suc- ceeding year, and garénts are tak- ing advantage of the opportunities placed at their disposal by the De- partment of Education of Ontario for extending ¥o their children « more eultured and advanced train- ing 'than was possible many years ago, It hae becn our privilege to in- | spect the entire building from the heating plant to the roof and we have noted with pleasure the mod- ern equipment and splendid layoy: of the class rooms embodying as it does the latest ideas in approved cllegiate design. Particularly pleas- ing are the new gymnasium and the spacious auditorium providing for the physical and recreational welfare of the students, Thosc privileged to attend this school | from this vicinity should be proud of their high school board in pro- viding for their future a buildinz in keeping with the high ideals of education maintained at all times in the own cf Bowmanville, BY LOUIS W. BIPPELL Principal, Bowmanville High School The High School Board and citi- zens of Bowmanville are to be con- gratulated on the splendid build- ing and equipment which they have placed within the reach of the pu- pils of this vieipity., The new school is modern in all respects being correctly heated, lighted and properly ventilated. There is also a splendid gymnasium in which physical education of the pupils is conducted. A close correlation ex- ists between physical comfort while studying and mental progress so that now the work is carried on under ideal conditions. We all know that a human be- ing without education is like marble in a quarry which shows none of its inherent beauties and qualities until these are browsht out by polishing. Education after the same manner brings to view every virtue and talent which otherwise might remain dormant. As time goes on the appreciation of the pupils will doubtless amply repay the citizens for the interst they have taken in thelr welfare. A clefgyman says if everybody told the truth when speaking it would be a better world. But quiet.
