R. l, Varney THEREFORE be it resolved that we. the ratepayers of Union S. B. No l, Egremont and Normanby, express our ilrm belief in the emeieney ot the school unit of school administration and strongly oppose the proposed plan to substitute Township School Boards in place of the present Beth tion School Boards. Signed J. J. Wilton. C. M. Leeson, Chairman Sec'y Treasurer The above resolution was also ad- opted at the meeting held on Sat.. the an inst. And whereas, it is not in the best interests of the rural communities that this final measure of control should be allowed to pass out of their hands entirely: And whereas the control of educa- tional administration in Ontario has been steadily forced out of the hands of the people themselves into the hands of professional education and Government officials, so that at this time only a small measure ot con. trol remains in the hands of the peo- ple : And whereas the sectlon unit stlm- ulates local pride in the school and glvos the people a direct personal interest in the administration of "Mr own educational affairs: It could hardly be expected that a group of farmers. fresh from the field on a wet, cloudy day could frame legislation Just " hand. Of this we am: sure. that it the matter were submitted to a. vote, the meas- ure would be defeated. f All the school sections in the town: ship were represented except No. 3 (Holstein Village.) "Moved by Jno. McArthur, second- ed by Robt. Carmount, that the rate, payers ot this township are strongly opposed to Premier Ferguson's pro- posed bill of Township Board of Trustees, but favor local option for this ‘township. And further, it is our desire that the Public School Act be so amended that pupils tho' having passed the examination to High School Entrance. may continue to attend the Public School and be taught such further course of study as will fit them for any kind ot em- pto.stment or calling in life. except that of a professional degree. and that our public school teachers be Inquirod to Rive such education to all pupils attending school until they reach the age of 16 years." Carried unanimously. “Whereas the section unit of tt school administration through the 15, ooo school trustees of the province prcvidrs a rural viewpoint and lead- erghio inreducntional matters which would otherwise be lost. It is not an easy matter at a meet- ing of this kind to frame resolutions getting forth the wishes of the peo- ple, but if another opportunity were given the electors to deal with this very important and far reaching ed- ucational measure. a more definite expression of opinion would be ar- rived at. The following résolutlons were draf- ted : . Union s. S. No 1, Varney, resolution No one expressed themselves in favor of a. Tp. Board of Trust es. but strongly condemned tod,',",,':',',',"",,' the opinions being that costs would be increased unduly and less service and oversight given to the welfare or the school. in his opening remarks, the chair- man said he was not very familiar with the proposed Act " submitted to the electors for discussion. Upon request he read the measure and a discussion followed. The opinion ot the ratepayers was that if the Bill becomes law, school rates will beltus 'rely increased, which in their opin- ion are burdensome now. There we: a large and representa- tive gathering of School Trustees and other ntepayers of the Tp. ot Enemont in answer to the notice given by our Township Council, uk- ing that they meet in the school house in action No. IO, it being the most central.

The de- votional topic was taken by Miss Isabel Haas and the second part on 'Current Events' was in charge of Miss M. Tyndall and Mr Ewart Al- leg. The choice ot items taken, the interest shown and the presentation of the facts show that the young people are alive to the vital ituetr tions of the day and to the necessity of having in the public press an err sential link with community educa- tion. Mr Fulcher had charge of the recreational period and his choice of games and contests prove that he is alive to the best interests of the Circle.
