TEE CANADIAN STATftMAJi, OWMANIVILLE.01RTARMO TMMRDAY, JUJLY lotix, lU (1rom The Orono Tümes) * The Durham District High School Board at a meeting laut week reafflrnied their stand in the High Sehool dilenuna and passed a motion asking the eight Inunicipalities to, give approval to build the three new schools. AIse included in the motion is a section pointlng out that a number of the members of the Board are intending to reslgn if approval is flot torthcoming. The Town of Bowmanville has already passed Its decision and has refused to go along wlth the building of three schools. They have, however, consented to building twe, one in Darlington and one In Mill- brook, leaving out the one in Clarke Town- ship. It is expected that others will foliow suit. Members of the School Board can hardly be blamed for their intention to resign for outside interference has made their job impossible. On the other hand (From The. Peterborough Examiner) The decision made Thursday night by the Durhamn County District High School Board te persist in its plan te build three new schools rlght away shows a rigidity of opinion and a refusai te com- promise that can only be described-as one dissident member of the board did describe it-as "stubborn". The board decided te ask ail municipal counciis in the district te approve the program now and set a deadline of August 1 by which this should b. dene. Since the program was submitted te the municipalities twe znonths ago and failed te win approvai, it is difficuit te see what can b. ac- cemplished by trying ail over again. Nothing has happened in the interim te indicate a change of heart on the part of the councils; on the contrary several things have happened that might indicate even stronger objections. Bewmanville and. Darlington have applied te the Unit- ed Counties Coundil te b. separated front the area and a consultative cemmittee appointed by thie Counties has recommend- ed the district b. divided into two parts. mhe Port Hope Council aiong with severai others stated the last time around that it would approve the program if a study were first made by an independent body ta determine whether the school the board wants te build at Orono sheuld riot be built instead at Newcastle. New- castle residents have amassed facts and figures te show that their village is a better location- than -Oronôe fer a high schooi, and while this may or may net be true, it weuid seem only fair teailow the rtudy te be made. The attitude of a znajority et the school board seems te be that nebody could study the matter more exhaustively than the board has already atudied it and that 1, that. Behind the board's refusai te budge, of course, is the. reluctance of smalier centres te give Up the. ichola which. they have at present Orono representatives know that If a new school Is net built at Orono there will be ne high school there the loss of the members to the Board will b. regrettable for the Board as it exista is a good Board. The reappointment of other members will further the chance of the objecting municipalities te inter- fere with the placlng of the sehools. In this ares inter-municipal relations are dropping to a low ebb and the resuits of this will no doubt be felt for years. Al are endowed with the desire to grab and chaos seems the only resuit. The educa- tion of our children is being affected, along with hospital services and no doubt it can spread to other phases as time gees on. Clarke Township is at a point where it can almost consider the only wày to accomplish anythlng is to go it alone. But this would no doubt be costly and in sorne cases impractical. However, the end resuit may b. that Clarke would fare much better on a go-it-alone policy. in a few years. Lait year when the. board wanted te buiid one school at Orono, Mill- brook and Cavan ebjected because they feared with some justification, that the Miilbrook high schoi wouid eventually b. cioed and the pupils transperted te Orono. The board's present plan te build a 400-pupil schoei in Dariington, a 400- pupil schoei at Orono and a 150-pupil school at Millbrook is a compromise which provides accommodation in Darlington and satisties Orono and Millbrook who wili net approve any prograni which does net provide for theni. In both Orono and Millbrook the high schoois are operated ini roonis rented trom the public school boards and grewing public schooi popula- tiens wili in a very few years crowd them eut. Since approval of a majority ef municipalities is necessary for any pro-, gram tuis plan is probabiy as good a com- promise as can b. worked eut but since Newcastle wants an independent study and Port Hope and other municipal coundils have asked for one, why should the board net agree te it? The board is unwiliing te go aiong with an independent investigation which might recommend Oreno atter ail, and has taken the atti- tude that the municipal councils and not the board will be responsible if the badiy- n.eded Darlington sehool is net builti in tume. Mr. R. R. Waddeli et Orono said at Thursday's meeting that the board's re- fusai te, change its mmiid would wake the. councils up te their responsibiities and echoed the feelings of rnany board mem- bers when he said that failure of the packc- age program. wouid gie him. ne alterna- tive but te resign. Mr. Waddell and niany members et the board are se certain that their judgment is best that th.y will not hear et an impartial study. If the. students for whom a new school in Darlington is se sor.iy needëd must do without it be- cause eft tus refusai te compromise, per- lisps these gentlemen might better resign and let someene else get on with-the job.

Relations at Low Ebb Hope Township Council on Friday, once more approved the Durham County District School Board's three-school building program as requested by the board. At a meeting last week the board decided to send a letter to ail eight municipal councils in the district, requesting that they reaffirm their tentative approval of the program, or give it approval if they have not already done so. A consultative conmmittee ap- pointed by the United Counties council reconimended in late June that the district be divid- ed into two parts. Earller, Bow- manville and Darlington Town.- ship had requested separation fW~m the area. The Hope Council sent a let- ter to the board expressing the opinion that the area should flot be split. The board's building programn includes a 400-pupil school i Darlington Township, a 400- [pupil schfltaiC'larke Town-1 ship, near Orono, and a 150- pupil school at Miilbrook. Bowmanville council gave approva2l Monday to.the build- ing of two schools, one ini Dar- lington-Bowmanville area and one at Miilbrook. At the mneet- ing, Reeve David I. gon, a member of the counties' consul- tative compmittee, said he thought the west end scixool should be built in Bowman- ville rather than in Darlington Township. No mention of the third school, projected for Orono by the district board, was made in Bownianviile Council'a re- solution. Opposition to the three-school program began several monthis ago in Newcastle, where resi- dents feel the sehool planned for Orono might better b. la- cated there. They asked for an independent study of the two locations, and several councils, including that of Port Hope, went along with the request. The board feels that no use- fui purpose could be served by an independent study. Ini order to proceed with a building program-, the board must obtain tentative approval of at least five niunicipalities.
