TERMS OP SALE:â€" CASH Geo. Ross, Clerk. CEO. DUNCAN, Auctioneer I Letters to [ The Advance • THE HIGH SCHOOL QUESTION To the Editor of the Advance: Dear Sir: In your last issue you had a news item headed, "Give the high school away," which might give a wrong impressioH of the object to be at- tained on which the discussion has taken place as a number of the dep- utation, which met the high school board on Wednesday evening, I wish to state that I have always given my full share of moral and financial sup- port to the Flesherton High School and will continue to do so. The faet, however, remains that for the past considerable number of years, the township of Artemesia has paid an average yearly rate for the High School education of her pupils an a- mount in excees of 2 mills on the dsllar above any other township in the county. I have pointed out on several occasions that this situation might be relieved by having the town- ship removed from the High School district, which would mean that the pupils now attending from the town- ship would be county pupils whose education would be paid for, 100% by the Countj'. The efficiency of the school would not be impaired and the extra cost to the village would be un- noticeable. However, to obtain re- lief from this double rate, the action may not now be necessary as new legislation which was enacted at the last session of the Legislature will provide for a more equal distribution of the cost of secondary education within the county and has apparently been desigfned to over come such sit- uations as exist in the township of Artemesia and a very large number of urban municipalities through the province. â€"A.
