In ordinary rural schools the ptipils walk from one to two miles and get cold and wet and poor health results. If one goes into a rural school today at least one-third of the pupils will be coughing. Thus wise mothers do not let their children go to school on bad days and consequent- ly one year is lost out of the total course hy non-attendance. A reso- lution of this kind gives the Govern- ment thepeople's backing and shows them that the present Act is not feas- ible.

He believed that until consolidated school areas were formed in North Ontario, and the children were brought to school in vehicles, North Ontario: would not have the advantages it should have.

He would like to see the Council back it up. : Reeve Walls, of 'Baaverion, thought the session, One advantage of con- solidated schools was that teachers would have more time for primary education.

Reeve Byron Stiver introduced ad resolution for the consideration of the Council which also had to do with schools.

Stokes, Uxbridge, Ont., or the United Typewriter Co., 185 Victoria St. ronto. - - Tr Srvi-- Paying Councillors. At an early date the council will have an opportunity to vote on the question of the payment of councillors, Mr. Stonehouse has given notice of motion that he will introduce a by-law for this purpose. There is no doubt as to the Justice and common sense of this move. We as ratepayers really have no right to expect the con- stant service of our public men without payment. Frequently this service involves expenditure of time which could be employed with profit to the individual, and at times money is spent in our service. Laws which are quite proper and necessary have hamp- ered the payment of these little debts, and not infrequently coun- cillors suffer an injustice in this respect. The payment of a stated sum for each meeting is permitted by law, and is' a proper solution of the difficulty. There is nothing to stop any person from giving absolutely free service, if that is their wish; but it is perfectly legitimate to pay our councillors, and to refuse to allow such payment may work an injustice in some cases.
