The d'leg»tion which tvwkrd up the claims of rhe township was a strong one :uid [Kiinted out that we bad iu Flesher- t in a .suc.essful sehol now in operation. with two teachers and some 4.'« pupils on the roll. The school was very popular and ot immense benefit but it w.-is handi- , capped for want of room and a school i would have to be built suitable for the ' purpose. W"i(h the who!e township for a district the building of such a school for the hiiiher education df our children ; and its maintenance would scarcely be ! felt by the ratepayers, and therefore for ' that reason the whole township was desited. Still, the delegation was not desirous of keeping Markdale from form- ing a district and buildinx a school if it wished and was willing to be fair with : them in the matter. Inspector Buff, . however, who was present, ventured the opinion that it would not be wise to have j r^aii subject to TumtM these sch.xds too close together as it "^" "^ "^*"*"^ ^® ^'""' 1,1. ,1 "f^" ^^^ sincere, strai would lend to weaken lioch. It was also pointed out for »he benefit of represen- tatives of other townships that probably i in the near future every township would ; want its continuation schiM>l and it was â-  not wise to carve up any township at the' present juncture. Those who s|)oke for the lown.ship j were Mr. Kichard.si.u, Mr. Sproule, Mr. ! Bellamy. Mr. HuS; Mr. Henry. Mr. ' B.laud. .Ml. WtU-rand Mr. Wui. Mc- ! Loughiy. j The Markdale delegation was then | j^uVn heard. They wanted iwo union sections north and west of Markdale, McLough- rey'a section and the Orange Valley sec- tion. They had alsi> a.sked for the Wode- house sect ion out in Euphrrsia, but as this rather weakened their long distance argument that section was withdrawn. 1 In order to lixbten the duties of the I committee the two delegations got to- \ gether and after a couple of sessions the i b«i»Ls of an agreement was reached where- 1 Sy -Artemesia rel!n<)uished one half of i Orange Vulley section to Markdale, also Elliott's section and Thibade&u's section.
