Trustees Cowan, Tacon and Bruce Bone, with the assistance of their Director of Education. proceeded to explain why this site had been chosen out of seven investigated. Distance was their greatest con- sideration. Children in the area are three and a half miles from the nearest school. "To bus these children outside for 40 years is quite a thought," Chairman Cowan pointed out.
