As it runs directiy south of Hampton this highway will make Hampton the centre of the township. Mr. Rickard also wished ta correct any thougbts that he was interested in locating the offices in Bowmanville. The town does have its merits as a possible site but deputy-reeve stated that he braught these up at the iast meeting only as a different siant on the question of chosing a site. Roads Discusaed The condition of the township roads was anather probiem plac- ed before Council Thursday. Isaac Hardy, Sauina, told coun- cil that the township road lead- ing ta bis farm is in need of repair. Because of its narraw width it is impossible ta main- tain the raad with today's ma- chinery. Mr. Hardy proposed that council consider widening the present two rad road ta a stan- dard four rod rond. Cauncil promised Mr. Hardy ta have the road satisfactorily repaired Tyrone Road A deputation tram Tyrone headed by Albert Fi asked that Darlington hardtop the road tram Tyrone ta the Guideboard corners. Mr. Hill inforrned Cou ncil that the rate- payers in Tyrone were feeling neglected in the matter of roads. Tom Stewart, road superin- tend~ent assured council that this twa mile stretch of road wouldn't need too much work in order to prepare it for hard- topping. Annual Grant@ The annual grant cf $2,000 was given ta the Bowmanville Memorial Hospital. Another annual grant of $100 was given ta the Salvation Ar- my's annual appeal for funds. The resignation of S. E. White tram the Darlington Planning Board was accepted by Coun- cil. The list of council commit- tees has nat yet been complete- ly drawn up but Garnet Rick- ard and Earl Trull wili be the finance committee and Allan Thompson and Fred Smith will form the agricultural commit- 1889 Entrance Questions How Do They Compare Mr. Archie Bowman, a formn- er clerk of Hamilton Township, who is visiting bis son, Jackion Bowxnan, Silver Street, Bow- manville, has brought into The Statesman an interesting clip- ping tram The Cobourg Sen- tinel-Star wbich tells of a set of entrance examination papers of 1889 in Mr. Bowman 's posses- sion. The eJxaminations were set by tbe province, and Mr. Bowman was proud that bis marks were second highest at the old Ca- bourg Collegiate. A few examples are of in- terest today. A question in ar- ithmetic was: 'The map of On- taria recently issued by the Crown Lands Dept. is drawn on a scale of 8 miles ta an inch. On this map the Township of Scott measures 1 5/16 inches in length and 11/ inches in width; how many acres does it con- tain?' Huw does this compare with today's Grade 8 questions? 0f course there are no longer Entrance examinatibns as such. The history examination con- sisted of Englisb and Canadian history. "Test your memory," says the Sentinel-Star. "Can you, 'Write short notes on the Jacobite Rebellions- and the Seven Years' War' ". The Sen- tinel-Star felt that questions on Canadian History, such as 'Nar- rate the circumstances which led ta Confederation' mnight stump a senior student in high school. What do you think? Says the Sentinel-Star: "The entrance examinations were a good indication of the work taken by the pupils in that day. Tbey were written by every pupîl in the class and the passing grade was determined by tbem. There was no golng into bigh schoool on recommen- datibn, as there ia no granting of fifth form high school certi- ficates without writing the de- partmental examinatians. Ex- aminatians of this 'type encour- aged the pupils ta forrn study habits which were s0 eential for bigh school." Wbether the examinations would be a good idea today, the Sentinel-Star was not prepared ta say. What do Statesman readers think? The 1889 examination papers beiongîng ta Mr. Bowman are a prized possession and cer- tainly give an înteresting insight into the school curriculum of thase days.
