day,
| The ratepayers of the Village of
Exeter will be called on next Mon
day to cast their ballot as to
whether they are in favor of is
suing debentures to the amount of
§20,000 spread over 25 years for
the buying of a site and the build
ing of a new four-room school for
public school purposes. An option
has been secured on the land to the
I I south of the present school build-
[ png.
* Increased accommodation at the
► school has been a vexed question
before the citizens for a number of
. years. Seven or eight years ago
when permission was granted by the
► Library Board to use the basement
of the public library for a primary
room, it was thought‘at the time* that the arrangement would be only
► temporary and that the scholars
would soon be back at the school
again. Instead of the condition be-
’ coming better they have been grad-
► ually getting worse.
► With the little tots occupying the
library there is at present insuffic-
w ient room at the school for the pro-
£ pei* accommodation of the pupils al-
ready there. The number expected
to move out at midsummer is around
20 while the number of beginners
expected following the holidays is
around 30.
In 1924 a by-law was submitted
to the ratepayers asking for the sum
of §7000 to build a two-room ad
dition to the present school building
This by-law was defeated. Not all
who voted against the by-law were
I opposed to more accommodation as
some voiced the opinion that the
plan was not adequate and that a
two-room addition was only a make
shift.
Most citizens realize' that the lib
rary is not a satisfactory place for
the little childen. It is very dan
gerous corner and the room is damp
and unhealthy.' Colds are preva
lent amongst the scholars. The Lib
rary Board have at last asked that
the room be vacated.
cil, Chamber of Commerce, School
and Home Club was held in the
Town Hall. At this meeting it was
decided that representatives from
the various organizations of the
town togethei* with any interested
citizens should visit the school to
learn the conditions first hand. This
was done and the delegation passed
a resolution to the effect that ac
commodation was inadequate and
that something should be done to re
lieve the congestion.
At a public meeting following the
visitation of the delegation to the
school all angles of the school ques
tion came up for consideration and
the opinions expressed were so di
versified as to the best means ot
remedying the situation that it was
finally left with the Board of Edu
cation and the Council to formulate
definite proposition.a
under consideration there
one member of the Board
stood opposed to any ad-
expenditure—Mr. W. H.
Mr. Dearing maintains

Dearing,
that by filling up the various rooms
to capacity and by refusing to allow
pupils from outside of the village to
attend the public school, our own
pupils could be accommodated. He
is opposed to increasing the burden
of taxation upon those who already
find it difficult to meet their tax
es. While one cannot help but
commend the fighting spirit of Mr.
Dearing and his desire to keep down
the taxes, yet in a land where ma
jority rules it would seem that the
opinion of the eight other members
of the Board should guide the citi
zens in their desire to do the best
for our boys and girl. Added to the
opinion of the eight members of the
Board is the report of the indepen
dant delegation which visited the
school, which stated that some of
the rooms were overcrowded; that
in some instances scholars were too
close to the blackboard ' while in
others they were too far away, this
condition being detrimental to the
welfare of the scholars. Added to

KELLETT—In loving memory of
our dear father who passed away
to the Great Beyond, one year
ago on June 15th, 1927.
Peaceful be thy rest dear father,
It is sweet to breathe thy name,
In life we .loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
The moon and stars are shining
On a lone and silent grave,
Beneath lies one we dearly love,
But whom we could not save.
The blow was hard, the shock
severe,
God only knows how we miss him
here,
And only those that last can tell,
The pain of parting without fare
well.
