PLANS FOR NEW SCHOOL BEING HELD UP The plans for the new building in connection with the Exeter High School have been temporarily held up by the action of the Ontario Mun­ icipal Board. A By-law for the spending of fifteen thousand dol­ lars by the municipality had receiv­ ed its first and second reading by the municipal council and was sub­ mitted to the Ontario Municipal Board for approval. It was believed that in view of the splendid financial condition of the town and in view of the fact that the Department of Education are adding the courses of home economics and manual training to the H. S- curriculum and are willing to assist any municipality to the extent of twelve thousand dollars, or half the cost of two rooms and equipment, that the con­ sent of the Municipal Board would be forthcoming. A delay in the erection of the new building creates a problem in the minds of the mem­ bers of the Board of Education and the Council and School Board are meeting in special session. to-night (Thursday) to consider the matter.
