ontario- quebec division of the cwna thfe editors corner sch60l situation confusing with district high schools on the evnf reopen ing there isstifl a great deal of confusion fdrcsquesing residents limng in the vicinity of georgetown who might wish to have their children attend georgetown high school rati er than be transported bv school bus to acton or milton as the case may 1 e the letter re ceived by the georgetown school board from the de partment of education in answer to a request for clan fication merely dumped the problem on the shoulders of the north halton arcd board it is now this boards duty to decide whether georgetown school is more accessible to a sludf nt who lives in norval for ex ample than eitlu r of tin other schools which are sw or eight miles distant but to which transportation is be ing projded the- problem is complex because csquesing has committed herself to help finance thi se schools and from a financial point of iew it is advantageous to send as man of her students as possible to acton and milton to get the most for her monc bv lower per capita cost of higher education geographically how ever it does dot s em right to send students farther afield for education which is on their own doorsteps m a school which has traditionally served them tor three quarters of a century written as this is befor thursday s n i board meeting it is expected that the probl m will be com pletely discussed and decisions made on that occasion we should however like to registe protest at high pressure methods being employed to drive prospective students away from georgetown high school no one not even the members of georgetown high school board can at the present time give any accurate idea of what tije per capitacost of education will be at the school next year with as high an enrolment as last year it would be in the neighbourhood of 120 yearly if enrolment is sharply reduced by an exodus of rural students this would be substantially increased i he stories being circulated that it will cost a man three or four hundred dollars to send his boy or girl to school here are to say the least premature and are based on the assumption that the local enrolment will be re duced the inducement of a school bus mav influence a few parents who find it a burden to provide transpor tation here from country districts he large propor tion we would guess would rather continue in this way than have their children farther from home and travelling several unnecessary nuh s of highwav particularly in the winter months it nough such par ents have
