ORONO WEEKLyTfLIES1, *UB8DAY, AIKRI$tli, 1864 O RONO WEEKL..Y TIMES Fscabhshed in 1938 by R~. A. Forrester. R'oy C. Fobrrester - Editor and Manager Stibseription payable in advance In Cnada$L50In U.S.A. $2.5û Centializing Public Schools Mýr. Alex Carrutbers M.P.P., in hisý weekly report this weeký points out that recent education legisiation whereby townships will be set-up as minimum areas for sohool pur- posesç, cails for chianges in administration only. His article can bie interpretedl to mean that the new legisiation does not mean the closng onf the small schoois and nmake provisioi, for large schools for township areas. it appears that the legislation gov'erning public sdhools ione where the goverfment is setting certain poLicies suc asiceing the size of areas and grotqplng dinstair Trhis policýy appears quite similar to thetrýIigh sehoul -areasý set-up. Thegovernmemt policy, as far as it goes, leaves ta the local boards the decision on whether or flot central sehoals are ta be established, where they are built and which are ta o lased, if any. The_ government has left, the tacky prdblemn to be .etled at the local level and although they may favour centra1ization of schools they are flot to force this f eature upon the areas. This bas held true in Higb School Areas whiere the Department of Ediication, although f avouring larger schools have not interferred even though they may have wished somethil1g other thani what was beïng done. In the Durham Higli School Areaý the location and building of sdhools kindied many bitter debates and the Board came under inany pressures frSn~ local govern'-g bodi.e. This can aiso be true of, the Towship schoo.1 areas a~we have already heard of some concerni over the Possible elosing of some of the smaller schools. 1rhs, of course, will be a factor to ho governed by the flew area board but they ,may find opposition to -some of the changeî they favotirt Tt bas often ibeen f eit that the Departineait of Educa tion slhould niake its poltcy and desires much clearor to the publlc. We boleive they favour'central sehools, and want lo do away with the one-room sehool and no doubt, will, in the end accomplish this fact. In the meantime it appears that the Deparimonit wTl keep hands off and hope that the local * boards Wil settle thetacky prcqblemeataIhomne. It doos appear that if the iegislation passed at Queen'à Park is ta accomplish (as Mr. Carruthems states) "greater equaldty ini ducation, greater efficiency in oducation and a more çeuttble sblaring of educational ecosts" that it can only bo cone througih centrahization of schools.'For the same reasons tbe government has centralized the gaverning school bodies. The same musi then hold true at the education level with further oentralization. WHAT OTIIERS SAY Last week the Ganaraska Region Conservation Auth- arity struck its 11964 budget, and once more Port Hope, the o7n!y town wlithin the auhority, is paying less than ber fair .3hare,an is being subsidized by other municipalities, in- cludîxug thie township of Hope, whose assessment is $165 highier thian it should ibe, in order to pay Po..t Hope's share. Port Hope, paying $2800 itRsshare:should be >$3m00- lpayinig less in ternis 0f mniHs than thue town was paying when the authority was started. Port Hopes levy is costing thje ratejiayers less than the Hope lownshup levy is cost4ng Lithe twnsiip's ratepayers, and yet it la Port Hope wdùhichbas gainiec most by the existence of the autberity. The biggest àýn'gle 'ffcit atr!butable to the Ganaraska Authority's work is te rducin flood danger in Port Hope, One bad flood wnvuld destroy property werih more than al the money theý. 1iwn bs contributed to the authority since its icpina great dOeal more. Why shoutc3 Port Hope shtrk its rsosbt ýty to d'o ils share oif Ibis woik? The people of Port Hopie should be asnamed of the fact thaï ;hey havet o be subsdi1zed for a paltry $1000 by rural t(1 shP wh ch have con, derably less assessable property or wh1 h 1 raise taxes. P7 L Hope is the oWiy municipality in ,he 1a1ethoruity with any subsýtantial industrial property, and rct mst acc ept eharty froin the townships in order to meet tshare ef the budget.
