Trustee Farrell Feared That Such a Move Would | Introduce Politics Into Board--Iluspector Stuart Will Make Visit to Schools in United States. A resolutibn of Trustee J. G. El- lioti, of which he gave notice some time ago, "that applisation be made to the city councii to reduce the number of trusiees from 21 to 10 as per clause 4, of the act respect- ing Boards of Education, assented to April 13th, 1908," was voted down at a meeting of the Board of Education beld on Thursday night on a division of 13 to 2, the mover and the seconder, Trustee Birkett alone supporting it. The vote was as follows: Yeas--Trus stees Elliott and kett. Nays -- Trustees Anglin, Bell, Chown, Chapman, Craig'. Farrell, Laird, 'Metcalfe, Mills, McLean, Ren- ton, Sawyer and Henderson. . Trustee Elliott stated that he would have liked to have brought the matter to a vote when there was a larger attendance of the members, but that if action was to he taken this vear, it must ¢ome before the City Conncil by October 1st. He be- lieved that such a step would be in the best interests of the board; that a reduction of membership to ten members would he in accord with a great many other boards throughout the country. 'It would be advan- tageous from standpoint that better service would be rendered. men would be selected by the eity at large, and it would be more desir- able than the present system of elec- tion by wards. Trustee Farrell did not gonsider it Bvise to make any change. He be- Bir- ried on most satisfactory under the present syftem. There were no politics in the hoard at present and he feared that politics would bé in- troduced if such a change as had been recommended, was brought abont. This was the serious objec- tion he had to the proposal. He ask. ed that the mover allow the resolu- tion to stand over until more data was fecured regarding it, and to see the results of the system in other The ten! lieved that the work was being ear-| ¥ attiog on the report of the inspec- tor it was decided, on motion of Trustees Mills and Flliott, to grant the use of ten class rooms for model school 'purposes. 4. Russell Stuart, school inspector, reported as follows » "The public schools were re-opened after the mid-summer. vacation with all the teaching staff on duty. The changes made in gaticipation of the removal 'of certain classes to. the enlarged Victoria .school when, this is ready for "occupation, together with an tly considerable shifting of population in the city, have made a great many (Lansfers necessary. "The model school was opened on' August 18th in the Old Collegiate In- stitute by Mr. Inman, with an at- tendance of thirty-three." The de partment of edueation has authorized the use of ten class rooms for model school 'purposes. "I would recommend that . eight class rooms in the Central school be 31-2 only.

The. at ion"ance' of pupils was very large, particularly in the first form, which had upwards of 160. This was due to the fact that 'a larger namber than usual had passed the exomina: { tion and. in addition there: were quite ia large number from outside places. | | All the forms were filled with the ex- 'option of the fourth which was gen- erally slow in filling, Miss E.

Farrell, Prof. A. Laird, H."F. Metealfe, .T, W. Mills, A. W. Mclean, W. J. Ren- Trustee Birliett said he conld not see any danger of politics being ip- troduced under such a system. He in Sydenham ward at the last elec- tion, when it was necessary to hold three elections before a trustee was | elected. Trustee Elliott said he had no fear whatever of such a scheme introduc- ing politics. If he had he would not have moved sueh-a resolution. He regarded it as a good move. He be lieved the city council would do bet- ter work with a membership of ten and he understood that such a move had been contemplated. "Trustee ANNE Questioed whether such a change would be wise. He agreed with the remarks of Trustee Farrell. Under the new scheme he | believed it would be hard to get.a quorum for committees. For the present he would say, "let well en- ough alone." Trustee Anglin said he did not consider that the argument in fav- or of a reduction had been made kfrong enough. He could see no rea- £on why a change should be made. There might be some good reason, but it had not been presented. He did not think that ten good men covid 'be sécured by a general vote 4s had been prepored, The chairman remarked that the question was a most Vital one and he desired all the members to voice their opinion on it. . Trustee Elliott stated that he felt sure influential citizens would select the best possible men for the board With a smaller board the other men could be utilized for other civic work. Better work was always se- curéd with smaller boards. Undet present conditions, six « men 'were elected by thé city council for three years and fourteen men from the wards for two years. The advantage was always with the nominations of the council. With ten men the work" ¢onld be undertaken just like the Civie Vtilities, amd Board of Poliee Commissioners, "There would be no need of com- mittees,"" added Trustee. Elliott; "and the hoard could nieet more frequent than at present. -I think we would get the best results by this move.
