Hon. Dr. M. B. Dymond, guest speaker at Reach Central School No. 8, Epsom, official opening is shown in conversation with Mr. Fred Wilkinson, former member of Reach School Area Board, Mr. Wilkinson served for almost sections were 13 years as a school Trustee, first on the old School Section Board and later when the school amalgamated into the School Area Board. Dr. Dymond has officiated at all three Central School openings. Central School No. 3 At Epsom (Continued from page 1) School Expanding Dr. Dymond noted in his ad- dress that the days of the little red school house have gone and consolidated areas will soon be everywhere. This is necessary to meet the growing demands in the educational field. At one time not so long ago, a grandfather, a father and a son would be expected to carry on in the same line of business. This is no longer the case. To- day's student may find it ne- cessary to learn three different careers in his lifetime and still retire at an earlier age than did his parents. To meet this challenge, newer methods and newer ideas 'in education must . be realized. This in turn re- "quires more facilities. Dr. Dymond mentioned the new technical school at Ux- bridge and considered that within a very short time fifty percent of all graduating ele- mentary students would be tak- ing vocational training. There is some demand, he said, for free university educa- tion as if to say each student has the ability for a university education. This is not so, A university degree is something that should be. earned. And * those who do not do so well a= cademically have opportunity in the new technical schools, one. of the best things to ever happen in the field of education. The cost of providing new schools is very high, the speak- er said, but it is one of the best investments ratepayers can make. "You are investing not in new buildings but investing in your children's future". In the very near future "half of every tax dollar paid to the provincial government will be returned to the ratepayer in welfare and educational ser- vices". . No Cost For Well Mr. Byron Holtby, chairman of the school board was chair- man for the program, He explained that the two weeks of work on the first well and the new well had not cost the taxpayers anything. The "school now has an adequate water supply. He introduced the board mem- bers, Mrs. Dorothy Mulholland, Neil Hunter, William Stone, Earl Wilson and the secretary- treasurer Mrs, Pat Love, as he also introduced the teaching staff. These are, Mrs. L. Mid- gely, principal, Mrs. H. Medd, Mrs. K. Crosier Miss V. Geiss- berger, Mr. David Jack, Mrs. F. Sandison, music supervisor, Mrs. R. Armstrong, custodian and Mrs. B. Phair, principal's assistant. Rev. C. R. Nelson offered the prayer of dedication and the school choir sang several selec- tions prior to the program and God Save the Queen at its com- pletion. Remarks of greeting and con- gratulations were offered by Reeve Earl Martyn, by the ar- chitect Mr. R. Rankin who stat- ed he had the best cooperation ever from the Board, and by the principal Mrs. Midgely. Miss Lotta McNeill, public school inspector, was unable to be present.

The scripture readings pre- sented by the minister which dwelt upon "The Talents" and the personal prayer to the Gold Cord Winner made a fitting climax to the many years of work which was entailed to ob- tain this honour.
