Publishers • WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4th, 1964 • Vast Changes Suggested For Education; The announcement last week by On- tario Minister .of Education William Davis of vast changes ni the administration of public school • boards in . the province •brought'. many questions to, the .'minds of local residents, particularly in the rural area where it will have the. most'effect. The present 3,900 school boards in Ontario : will be reduced by between .1,5'00 and 1,600 with the aim of the • Department of '`Educationto have 'a township school area board the smallest unit in the province. The Sentinel is n6t clear • on- the complete^µ. plans .o f the Department, but from . what we ,' read ` we would assume that the new leg- - islation effective the• first of ' 1965 would' eliminate the ,• school section in . favour of township school area boards, '.. one board per township. The , minister ,:announcedthat it was theirPlan : to limit 'the new township school boards to five; members. each and that elec tions will . have to ' be held in all areas.•this year. Locally, townships . are -well' .on their way along ' the lines now .being advocated by the department: West Wawanosh Town- ship has successfully operated a school area covering all the township for a number : of years • ; and ' the new legislation' 'wallhave little' bearing on this .municipality. In Ash- field, ..it looks as . if' the township '•will be back to a system ' that was in, operation a number of years .:ago. Some in Ashfield broke from the area- in.. favour of smaller sections. operating ; themselves Since the "breakup" a new' central school. has . been formed' .:in the • north-west corner. of the municipality..: Co-ordination .of : this, t h e° other area in the township (the original) and several. `single , sections will no • doubt t Fct present some real problems for 'ratepayers: of that township.

We . understand that the new proposal will not affect existing urban rural` boards such as the one at Ripley. 'We ' We do • not. see ` the immediate disap- pearance of the small. single school all at once, but if one board is operating the. education for the entire township, it would seem that eventually • pupils will : allbe at- tending the larger. schools in the township and will be bussed thereand back This is a bold political step by"; the government People have a hesitancy to .. give up their schools and::. under the new plan, .the operation of "their" school is turned. over:to a 5 man' board which could leave a particular area without:: a represen- tative.
