Dear Sir;--Nothing has appeared in the "Star" to suggest that there might be a difference of opinion among the rate-payers as to whether the proposed expenditure for a new High School was necessary or desir- ed, and, as Municipal Gover t is Fags RY'S Pyramid brand EE a] | their living being rather looked upon as having fallen by the way. It'is only necessary for any grown up person to scan in their minds § the career of fellow scholars of their own tween their progress at school and their success in life later: and it may be noted that I am not referring to the kind that I vopdlasiy spelled $ucce$$: Nothing ' that is " written here is meant to belittle real education which advances with all persons in propor- tion to their intelligence and industry as long as they live, but to point out the limitations of schooling and the common mistake of calling it edu- cation, of which it forms only a small part, $ A very serious objection' to a long- continued schooling, and one which has been noted by-many parents with regret, is the difficulty found by those who have taken these courses in set- tling down to the ordinary every-day on of i one's living, intended to represent the will of the majority, I should be glad of an op- portunity to point out some of the objections to the proposed phan soy carried out witheut a free discussion of the question and a regular vote of | property owners. A petition does not take the place of a vote. "Some who would fot mark a ballot for the proposed debt will not refuse %o sign a petition at the re- quest of a friend. It should be noted that conditions have changed greatly since the former school was built, and the fact that a High School was felt to be necessary in 1876 is no proof whatever that the same need e; opists in 1926. If, for in- stance, the 'C. C.N.R. should withdraw how many ratepayers would vote to pay them a bonus to continue it Yet the Corporation paid heavily for and it has no doubt justified the ex- penditure. Transportation conditions have changed tremendously in fifty years and so have schooling condi- tions. Education, as "distinguished from schooling, is more' easily ob- tained to-day than ever before, be- cause the best and latest thought in all lines of study is at the hand of anyone who can be reached by postal service or radio, and who 'cannot? There may be only one British , Museum in the world but what pro- using it, except. for _purposes of amusement or ing interest, so with the Univafgition, to a smaller degree, \ Phe learned are crowd- ed in most lin , and, apart from their service on this line to-day,| the railway when it was first built, | portion of the people is capable of | someiiing which is" pretty closely allied to real success. There is also the tendency to de- velop a dislike, if not, indeed con- tempt, for the more laborious occu- pations, among the most important of «ll is agriculture, the very founda- tion of all national material welfare; and the preference for City life, a condition widely recognized as betom- ing so general as to be a social danger of the gravest kind. It must be repeated that nothing said here may be taken as a scoff at tion; only as pointing out the limitations of schooling and the danger of too much of ft for all but a small proportion of our boys and girls, \ The argument that we should have a High School because other muni- 'not worthy of an answer, Opportunity for necessary school- ing (which 'is all that the public should' be asked to pay' for) was never better than it is to-day in a modern Continuation School or even a Public School. However, because such elementary. is furnish- ed at. the public expense, is ng more a reason for furnishing advanced schooling in the same manner, than that each family in the village should be provided with an automobile be- to see that there is no relation be-}, cipalities have it, is a shallow one and 28.

Come PORT' PERRY DOMINION STORE few days of the publication of their statement an item 'of news in a daily paper was that the County Rate in Simcoe had béen raised this year "on account of increased grants for roads and schools."
