THE SCHOOL QUESTION
Reeve Fred Clift returned fr-
om a meeting at Varna Monday ni-
ght following the regular villa-
ge council meeting here and was
able to report to The Bulletin:
"Some progress has been made"
He was referring to a joint
meeting of representatives of
Tuckersmith and Stanley Township
and Bayfield with the Stanley
area school board.
Evidently the question of a
central school is very much up
in the air at the moment. Views
were expressed at the meeting
which seemed to reflect emotion
rather than opinions based on
the hard facts, which seemingly
are not yet available.
Before any decisions are made
on a matter so vital to every
ratepayer and school-age child
in the area, the utmost pains
should be taken to obtain all
the pertinent facts as to school
populations now and in the fut-
ure, building costs and require-
ments, transportation costs and
the use to which existing school-
s might be put economically and
sensibly.
If the majority of the rate-
payers want some form of central
ization, we know of no law that
says all schools must be aband-
oned.
Both Varna and Brucefield are
being mentioned as possible loc-
ations for a central school. It
does not seem to make much diff-
erence to people in Bayfield, an
d in the long run will probably
not make much material differenc
to those communities.
Schools, especially primary
schools, cannot be considered as
industries, and thus assets to a
community in terms of retail sh-
opping and so forth. The new one
may well be a handsome one, but
it will represent great initial
and continuing cost, and will not
be a revenue producer in any
sense.
The Bulletin would be glad to
act as an open forum for discuss
ion of this problem, and letters
to The Editor will be welcomed
and if deemed in the public int-
erest, published. All letters to
the editor must be signed by the
writer, but a pen name may be
used if the writer deserves such
protection.
It seems now that the paper will not
only be out on time, but perhaps a little
ahead of time.An equal mixture of mechan-
ical problems and human frailty has kept
the paper from being published on the due
date.
At the time of writing, it appeared
that an ambition we have held since the
Bulletin was born in June is in the proc-
ess of being realized.
On the new schedule, merchants wishing
to advertise weekend specials can now do
so, knowing that the paper will be dist-
ributed to most homes in the trading area
well in advance.
Your co-operation with respect to the
deadlines will be truly appreciated.
It has not been easy to make the cha-
nge, and it will not be easy to maintain
the new deadlines, unless there is much
co-operation from readers and merchants
alike.
Advertising copy cannot be accepted
after 10.00 a.m. Tuesday, and really
should be in the hands of the publisher
not later than 6.00 p.m. Mondays.
News items intended for the social or
regular news columns now must be turned
in Monday evening at the latest.
