M (Wjhcn Ma is Sick w E '■ 1 8c '•wpvo 388«k cSS’* * WiMS To the Exeter Times-Advocate, ’ Dear Editor;—- I am not ip the habit of paying attention to every unfounded (or confounded) rumor about myself that gets spread abroad among the natives, bpt this one apparently needs a little attention or I might be indecently understood, As it rea­ ched me, the rumor said i would not need to contest the recent elec­ tion ffrr the Board of Education be­ cause it had been arranged before­ hand that the incoming reeye would have me appealed a member by the County Council. To accomplish this, would, meap that another member would have to be dropped for me. I am sure Mr. Snell ox* either of the other prospective reeves never even thought of such a discuss the matter had no such notion I have beep a Board of Education -—luckily for me,< each time—and for the , last years the members have honored me by making me chairman. Per­ haps they thought they would in that way dump a good deal of work on my shoulders. They did. Had I chose to be a candidate this year I might possibly have gotten enough votes to have been elected, But why? i had been a member almost twice as long as any other member; I had expressed my willingness to retire whan I sent in my resignation last July when, I first became ill; I had not been able to attend the meetings for six months, and nobody knows how many months more the same condition wduld prevail. My mind was quite made up that I would not be a candidate this if the sufficient number of qualified. There were more plenty without me, Four new were elected, and I hope they the same interest and have the same amount of pleasure that I had when on the job. After the election, Mr. Win. May, a member of the Board appointed by the County Council, paid me the compliment of offering me his chair in so far as it was in his power to offer it to anyone. I appreciated the compliment coming from a valuable member offline years standing, a man of sound judgement, and the logical chairman of the new Board, but, of course, I accepted the com­ pliment but declined the offer with thanks. During the fifteen years of my membership on the. Board there have been great changes and won- derful progress made in Exeter ■secondary school- edtrcation.^.Thn school had advanced from'a two or three room Continuation School, with indifferently good teachers, poor equipment, small attendance and very poor examination resxilts; to a six-room High School, an "ex- ceilent staff of teachers, up-to-date equipment, an attendance of be­ tween 160 and 2-00 and examination results that have been surpassed by no school in the province. During this time the financial- .assistance* from other than village sources has become three or foux* times* greater, while the amount the village has paid for High School purposes has remained practically the same (varying only a little from year to year,) and this, in spite of ’the fact that the cost of practically ,every­ thing has doubled an.d trebled. Who would not feel .pleased that he had a part in an accomplishment of that kind? We have to admit that the Board during those years has failed in se­ curing proper accommodation, but that was not the Bdard’s fault, ex­ cept that the Board, previous to last year, had beeix asking for addi­ tions when they should have been asking for a new building. The ad­ ditions have been mistakes, and some of us may live to find it Out, if progress continues under'the new Board, as we hope it will. There is great roonx fox* expansioxt as we are ixx the centre of one of. the .best High School districts in Ontario. With some of my arguments I know some people will disagree, but I asstxre you that in their number will not be found the boys and gii’ls Who have been benefitted by the presence good High School in Exeter, But, pardon me, Mr. Editor, the space I am. taking. It is the time I have been awake in six months, .and school matters have been my hobby and delight fox* many years and there! is so much that could be said. In .conclusion let me say that the progress made in educ­ ation in Eketer during those years has not been through' ideas and ef­ forts of any one man, myself or any­ one else, but through the efforts of a considerable number of interested, active and progressive meix on old School Board and latex* on .Bpard of Education* Tliankiiig. you, R, N.
