printed each wednesday afternoon in the office on rf main street georgetown authorized as second class au post office dept ottawa member of the canadian weekly newspapers association and the ontarioquebec division tf the cwna th editors corner a wise decision the school board has made a wise decision this year in renting st johns hall for extra classroom space- the three kindergarten classes seventy one children are enrolled for an alltime record are using the hall while the former kindergarten room has been trans formed into a grade i classroom temporarily in this way there is less disruption in the normal school rout ine for the younger children go to school only half a day and their activities form more of a separate unit than that of the grade children the hall has an extra advantage in being adjacent to the schoolyard during the summer months there was some talk of making do with the present building and staggering classes this would have meant that some students would go to school from 8 to 1230 and others from i to 530 the school system is designed to give children proper rest periods and this would have worked a hardship particularly on those who are slowjr at learn- ing there would have been disruptions too in the housewifes schedule as well as imposing an extra strain on the teaching staff it costs money of course for the extra facilities a payment of 2000 wiil be made for using the hall for ten months while this may seem a steep price to pay particularly when there is no government grant on the money spent it must be remembered that the charge includes heat light and caretaking services ano the school board was fortunate in having such fine quarters available in the proper location a new school for 52 meanwhile work has at last begun on the new pubic school which is planned to be ready for next fall workmen from j b mackenzie son began preliminary work last week on the highway property which was purchased iron jack tost levels are being

voted by the ratepayers that june and over a year has been spent in acquiring property hiring architects and having plans submitted and approved to the dept of education a further delay was experienced when it was found that the cost would exceed the money orig inally okayed by the dept of municipal affairs and a new bylaw had to be drawn and submitted for appro val the debentures- still remain to be issued before the whole jegal process is completed however there is nothing now to stand in the way of rapid construction potpourri its been rather a hectic summer for the editorial
