At the} Description of the posed New School d High and Public Schools at Port Perry will i8 really a three storey building--basement, first The basement will be almost en! round to the basement floor. The length of the building is 163 eet, 8 inches, the width 72 feet and the height will be 40 feet. This structure will be erected facing east on Rosa Street at the point where Ottawa Street is to be closed. A sketch of the front elevation of this proposed building may now be seen in the window of the Bell Telephane Office. There will be eleven classrooms in the combined school--five in the Public and six in the High School. In the Public School the rooms will be arranged so that two of them will be on the first floor, and three on the upper floor. In-the High School the arrangement of the rooms will be as follows: Domestic Science at the South East corner of the basement; two class-rooms on the the first floor and two and a room for science and agriculture on"the upper floor. These rooms will be 23 x 32 feet and the seating capacity of the High School will be 140 exclusive of the Science Room and Domestic Science Room. The seating capacity of the Public School will be 175. The present attendance of the High School is 110 and the Public School 165. Besides the classrooms there will be attached to the High School a gymnasium 35 x 70 feet above which will be an assembly hall of the same size. J , The assembly hall will be used for physical culture for the girls. This will be necessary as boys and girls have to take physical culture at the same time, and extra classes can be held there if necessary, also all school functions. ; The building is to be steam heated and electrically lighted, the boiler room and coal bins extending out tothe West side of the gymnasium. The specifications call for a brick faced building with walls backed by interlocking tile. These tile walls can be plastered without lathing. The gymnasium walls are to be of white brick. The floors throughout the school are to be of hardwood," except in the lavatories which will have mastic flooring. The stairways are to be of-steel throughout, except the hand- rail which will be of wood. : The wood trim will be chestnut. The lavatory accommodation is ample and of modern type. Provision is to be made to have fresh spring water pumped to the bubblers for drinking purposes. All classrooms will be amply lighted at the left side by massed windows, there being 168 square feet of glass in each room. The blackboards, set-in cupboards, electric wiring, heat- ing, etc., are to be included in the contract price--everything except the movable school equipment and the electric fixtures. There will be recreation rooms in the basement in both High and Public School for the use of the scholars in bad weather. On the first floor at the front centre of the building there will be teachers rooms and g library for the High School. In the library will be a vault for the keeping of school records and other valuable papers. ~ The combined science and agriculture room will be on the upper floor, and will be properly equipped. As is the case with the Domestic Science room, the agricultural classroom equipment is paid for by the Government. The instructions for the equipment of the Domestic Science room are that all necessary utensils, stoves, etc. are to be put in, and this will be without cost to Port Perry. Provision is being made for the installation of an electric stove, electric plates and a kitchen sink. ! : ¥ Ag' the Primary School will be housed in the New Publie School, the little school building will be free for use as a Farm Mechanics building, and it will be moved to a suitable placgron the premises, probably just to the west of the new school. / Pubile School play grounds. Three acres being allowed for the High School, and two acres for the Public School. The building will be set back about thirty feet or more from the road front, and immediately in front of the school the space will be devoted to lawn and suitable flowers and shrubery. The High School girls will have their play grounds to the south of the building including the actull site of the old school, and the High School boys will use the old campus, considerably enlarged. : Open Letter re High School Manchester, Ontario, July 19, 1926. being only a drop of about two feet from the The Bank in an Agent ~ Fy HE Bank is an agent whose duty it is to make the market a thousand miles away as acces- sible and profitable as the market which lies-at your door. - .

One cannot therefore claim that higher education is responsible for the white-collar man. Those who have no children sometimes object to the taxes necessary to support a High School. These people forgot that such taxes are merely indirect payments for modern comforts and conveniences that they enjoy, such as electric lights, tele- phones, automobles, sanitation, disease prevention, etc., the de- velopment of which has been the work of some of those whose education they may have supported. Port Perry is not now, nor ever likely will be able to provide employment for all its young people. These should leave their homes as well equipped to compete in the commercial life of other centres as the young people of other towns. Port Perry High School has an enviable record of former students who have suc- ceeded in business, medicine, law, theology and engineering and many of these have made notable contributions to progress. Wi such a record of past achievement, it is difficult to understand why opposition has developed to rebuilding the High School. This is particularly true when one finds other smaller towns and villages in Ontario demanding and providing High Schools for their youth. Failure t6 rebuild the High School, will deprive many young people of an opportunity to better themselves in life and will tend ultimately to lower the economic standards of Port Perry. Such a backward step cannot be desired by any ratepayer. Local pride coupled with local self-interest demands an overwhelming vote on August 6th in favor of -thes High School.

"After leaving Prince Albert we made good time to Raglan where we stopped a few minutes and then proceeded to Oshawa, at which place we arrived at noon. After going through a few movements we repaired to our different billets and partook of excellent dinners. We were treated with kindness by the people of Oshawa. : At two o'clock we marched to a large field and went through some battalion movements, which occupied our time until five o'clock.

Coming nearer home, the Southern States of our neighbor, after the Civil War were impoverished in men and money and allowed their educational system to deteriorate to a low degree. No material progress was made in these States until within the last 25 years when a campaign for higher education was inaugu rated. - In recent years no section of the United States has grown so rapidly in wealth, or improved living conditions so much, as these Southern States and in the South this is largely attributed ~ One who is in touch with modern business, cannot fail to-be impressed by the fact that control is rapidly passing into the hands of college trained men. Take, for instance, the railroads, General Atterbury, President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, one of the largest in the United States, is a college graduate. The President of the Canadian Pacific is also from a University. Employers are; demanding the broader viewpoint of the highly trained man rather than the narrow trading experience of the so-called practical man who has had little education. It is now generally recognized that under modern conditions, higher edu- | cation is necessary for success in business as well as in the professions. : It has been said that figher education produces '"white- collar" men who shrink from hard labor. This desire for the white-collar job is not confined to the educated class but will be found to be quite as prevalent in the lowest ranks of laborers. In fact this desire is not an undesirable characteristic for it has us to Toronto. Eleven o'clock arrived and no train, the hour of twelve produced no better result.
