A happy thought strikes the boys that the mail order system would be a happy solution to their troubles and accordingly write out an order for two gills. not neglecting to state- requirements as to size, color, etc. The above catchy title evidently caught the fancy as well turthe eye or mans, for on Thursday [Night last. the Agricultural Society, under whose auspices the play was given. were delighted to witness a full house. As the title would suggest. it was a farce comedy, and the players suc- ceeded in extracting all the farce and comedy from it. It was enjoyed to the utmost by all present and so kindly have the comments been, that the players are encouraged to pre- sent it again early in the New Year. The trustees themselves know the need. but behind them is the High School Inspector who more. than once has tailed attention to the need of prcgress. He thinks. as we all think, that Durham should keep abreast ot the times with facilities for higher education. We hope our citizens will give a decisive vote for.the.By- law with the feeling that We have said nothing about costs. 825.000 'spread ovor 20 years is nota formidable outlook when we consider the advantages accruing to the town in higher grants from both province and county, thus lessesing the bur. den on the town.

Play under Auapieem of Agricultural Sociew proves a Great Success The pistricts around Durham and Durham itself, have a right to look here for higher educational facilities and it these cannot be furnished, they must look eisewher at more cost, or crush down a. laudable am- bition tor a. higher education. Time was when Durham held its head high as an educational centre; we want to, view that again, and the duty first at hand to bring that about is to vote for the.By-law. The trouble began in 1915 when the Trustees ct that day had to change their, plans and estimates for the new High School to satisfv the clamor that otherwise might have beaten the by-law . The "vis- ion" of the Trustees of that day has been more than Justified, and it wilt be a' thousand pltles it any lack ot vision now should defeat the by-law on Jan. 3rd. An addition to the High School accommodation is urgently needed, it we are to cope with the attendance problem and hold our own as a first. class High School district. Form IV has had to be dropped from our our riculum for lack of acarmmodatfon, thus compelling pupils from town and near it to look elsewhere tor what should be supplied here. Year by year the influx from the Public School become more and more of a problem. The Science room which should be set apart for its own spec- ial uses. has to be used as a class room and it has even been suggested that we might have to drop Form In if the congestion continues to de. velop. _ Whether or not the whole councll will be returned by acclarnatitrn-es 1s rumored-the polling booths will have to be open anyway to weave and record the vote for the High School by-law, at present before the people.
