2nd Conces�an Delays Decision
After Lively ��s5ion SS 9Says No
A capacity attendance of, rate-
payers of S.S. No, 7' Kinloss met:
. in the Second Concession' school-.
house on Monday night when '',a•
lively discussion' developed as
to . whether- or not to • join a
school area. ,
An enrollment. of 'between 40
and 45,. students is 'expected at
. the Second. Concession next: year
and ,a teacher' .vacancy will have'.
to be filled' if the. school •is kept
open.
• The . suggestion bad been • ad-
vanced thatthese pupils might
attend Lucisnow, • or,' ' at least
some of _ them, to Tighten the
burden on the teacher at:. S.S.
The Lucknow ',Board ,is faced
with the problem of 'whether
or not to.,fit out an. extra' class-
room and: hire an additional
• teacher. To do so would require
seine assurance', ' that 8S. No. No. •7
:• would become part of the •Luck
rrowi► area,' so 'that, the expense,
entailed in. expanding ,the acco-
modation. would not.. be .a .temp-
orary measure... ,
Members'.., of the . Lucknow,
School Board were preset at
. ;..Monday's •, meeting • to answer
questions • on a •.proposal to forth,
a school" area with Lucknow: The
details of pining the Kinloss
school . area, with prospects, of
a central siool -being built to
the , • north • ,(H•oly,.rood ' having
been- suggested) :'Were .explained
by. Inspector T ; t Waldie:_
Problems of .keeping the Se -
condi. school ' open .were '' discus-
sed, :and there' are those who
strongly favor doing 'so '
And so, with much indecision;
and : 'controversy developing, it
wasdecided to, adjourn the meet-
ing without taking. a vote on
any of .the questions.. Another
meeting • will : be held in ' two
Weeks,. on Monday, '-May 9th. .
S.S., No9; Reject Area
Last Thursday. evening . : a:
meeting ; of the ratepayers, of
School Section number nine
Kinloss (iYfurrayi School) was
heldat the schoolhouse on' the
Second Concession, East;" to dis
cuss,. the' pros: and cons of a pub-.
lic school area, whether it be in
Lucknow, • or Kinloss. A decision
as to "where" was`•not necessary
for:.on the first ballot the•meet-
ing voted 13 ,to 1 against joining
an area. • •
.Considerable .expense. was in-•
volved 'in fixing up this school
a couple ,of years 'ago, and as
well it is felt that road • condi=.
tions` and'' 'snowplowing facilities
are not whatthey: should be to'
provide. satisfactory: 'transporta-'
tion at present. "
So, S,S:: No..9 is, : for the pre-•
sent at, least, almost unanimous
in; continuing;: as 'an-- individual
