REDUCE TO HIGH SCHOOL | Trustees In Arms Over Depart- ment's Latest Order. Galt, Oct. 17.---Word has deen re-| ceived from the deputy minister of' education, acquainting the board of trustees that, since the people of Galt had not voted money for a new gymnasium, the collegiate institute, was not up to the standard set for collegiate institutes, and asking that! the board apply for a reduction from | collegiate institute 'to high school. There is some uncertainty as to what ismeant hy asking the board to ap- ply for a reduction. Opinion pre- vails among the trustees that Galt is no worse offender against depart- ment orders than several other insti- tutes, and it is felt ¢hat, under a!} circumstances, the action decided or at educational headquarters ts unduly harsh and unreasonable. The insti- wate in athleties and physical culture has, it is submitted, features atoning for absence of a large and costly gymnasium. A deputation will visit the government to plead Galt's ease.
