Thegov- filuch larger sums tocol- c~itutes than to high schools, other grants go up in proportion. 1he way the law now stands we do flot pay a dollar to educate pupils outside the town. The county has to foot that part of the bill. Our collegiate insti- tute only costs the town a little over $2ooo per annum out of nearly $6ooo, which is its total cost. It is argued by some thatour present institute building is flot good enough, but it is healthy, and he believes rather in spending money in salaries and equipment than in marbie halls. Instead of criticising and hampering the institutes progress we should ail band together for render- ing it more efficient. in order that o.ut- siders may be attracted to town. The town is well situated in a splendid part of the cou ntry, and we should keep up our institutions so as to be ready for a great future. Our lake front is one of great beauty. and will before long ,be a popular summering place. and then the south ward will become famous far and wide. He notices that several parks have been laid out recently, and the sum- mer population will be here before they are matured. Mr. A. M.RBosswaSnextoall.d. Ble eaid the people conld well trust the board of educatiori to hiandle tbe scbool affairs weIl. He (Ros) pays over $60 of sohool tax, and almost every member of the board i.s a heavy taxpayer. Their ùwn intereste dictate to then the neoesuity of ecounizing in every way, withoui de- scending to actual meannees. We are boand to have the bi st sebools possible, and find it so difficuit te raise fonds go keep then up that the board i.s ever striv ing to save monev wherever is cau. As to Mr. Hatch's account h. rniRbt may that it waa made tir of strait itemns cov- ering a wbole year, fur 1it.Iu things bougbt by the caretiakers or chairmnau on Rchool property. It was the sanie with the pur- cliaâe of wood cornplaiaed of hy Mr. Fox. Mrr. Ferguson got a chance of a good ba-r. gain, and being ever alive taoie saving of a dollar, h. took advantage of tb. op- portunity. These matters were ail bronght before the board afterwards and satisfaotorily ezplained toall. It would be a poor chairman of a couamittee who could not be trusted to make a bargain for a few dollars' woth of goods wbeu h. got an offer by which perbapes everal dollars could be saved. The law waB flot passed to meet such cases, but to pre. vent boards awarding the different mnen- bers profitable contracte at bi&gh figures. Mr. Rose said he and Mr. Dow and the o.her members had always worked ini the Lbest of harrnony with Messrs.
