This play is of exceptional merit; is full of good wholesome truth, and sound moral teaching-, portrayed In deep pathos and interspersed by suf­ ficient humor to hold the attention of the audience from beginning to end. Each of the ten characters were well represented and took their part with credit to themselves. Spec­ ial mention might be made of Ruth Conrad taken by Mrs. N. Hunkin who carried a leading part through to success. “Grandpa” taken by Rev. G. M. Chidley, appeared in a most difficult part but thoroughly satis­ fied the audience, while' Miss Belle McDougall in the role of a colored cook, kept everyone convulsed in fits of laughter. Other members of the cast were: Walter Conrad, Miss Ruth’s brother, Geo. Gilfillan; Lutie a neighbor girl, Miss Ethel Stewart; Mrs. Davis, grandma, Miss Ethel Brown; Robert Post, the visitor, W. Allison; Dr. Jimmie Reed, with am­ bition, Victor Jeffrey; Flo Gray, Ruth’s cousin Miss Marguerte Hack­ ney; Salamander Alxander John Henry, Jones, Zuzu choice, Hal. Brown. The church was practically filled with an appeciative crowd. Violin selections by Geo. Grant and solos by Rev. D. McTavish of Exeter, were given between acts. This play will bd presented in the Exeter Opera House on May 11th. A meeting of the ratepayers was held in the Town Hall on Wednes­ day evening of last week to hear the report of the independent commit­tee who we^fe .r^—*£•---■■ a-- school and re:......... Rqieve Q. B. Spell occupied the chair. Mr, R. N. Crceclj,’ chairman of the Bqard of Education, was the first speaker- called upon.' " ■ ” ’Mr. Creech said that at ar recent meeting of the Board of Education a request had conic from* the Library Bqard to* vacate the room now being used at the Library as a* Primary room so that the library might be used for the purpose for which it was built. The pupils had been in the Library for foui’ or five years an,d the attendance at the public school to-day is even larger than it was when the room was first used. When the school was built about 5Q years ago the citizens, looked farther' into* the future than-we are looking toi-day and they built;- a school to take care of the needs for. years to come. Seven years ago $7000 was spent in remodelling the school and adding new rooms, doing away with, many of the cloak rooms. ■ • Instead* of six rooms, eleven* i-obnis werevpfo- vided. To-day the school wa£- over­ crowded and the‘board f'eels that the children should not,'be forced to "at­ tend school under " improper ’ condi­ tions, and were' simp'ly asking' that sufficient classrooms be provided. .At the present time the labratory was., being used as a classroom. Grants from the government were based on the accommodation provided. Mr. Creech said that no school in Ontar­ io had had greater success than the Exeter school in the past few years. A few years ago a plan- was sub­ mitted to the ratepayers-to add an extension to the north wing which would provide’ two rooms and a basement at an estimate of §7000..00 This plan, he' thought, was only a makeshift. A plan had been, sugges­ ted to build a two-room school on the land to the'south of the school property. fftjpoi|i;ted w Visyt the epprt '^Ij^rconditions, present.- • B. W. F. Beavers r-Mi*.

In one or two rooms there were a few vacant seats In others the rooms were overcrowd­ ed. Some of the seats were placed so close to the blackboard as to be a strain on the eyes of the pupils. In .... of On of Scholar was without a desk. In sev­ eral instances there were more desks in the rooms than should be. In one room down stairs there- were about twelve seats which the scholars used for storing their books and which was being used as a cloakroom. In one corner of the room was a “space partitioned off for an emergency ■.hospital. The- general opinion -was that with the children at present in thp library, ;the school was over­ crowded ‘and that more accommo­ dation should be given the chjldj-eq already there. Mr, T sonal view was that in the have not had the foresight that we should have had. We should have planned and built for the future. He thought the child life of Exeter should have every chance, and that the best thing that could be done was to build a two or three room school to the south of the present property. Looking back to the school he went to forty years ago con­ ditions were ten times better than they were at the school to-day. If the citizens had been with the com­ mittee and seen conditions they would have beqn convinced that more accommodation should be pro­ vided and that jvhen we. are doing. It put up a biiilding thatwbuld meet the needs and be a credit to the municipality. Rev. W. Jones Rev. W. Jones was next called upon and stated that he had gone to the school as an interested citizen and he had found conditions aS Mr. Beavers had stated and where thirty- nine additional pupils from the lib­ rary could be placed he was at n loss to know. He was not anxious to mix in any controversy but was certain that had the citizens visited the school they would have been convinced that extra accommod­ ation was needed. Mrs. B. W.
