"The problem of juvenile, de-

to start vocational trainin
Although the new $1,500,000 vocational school at
Clinton will not be opened for classes until 1963, SHDHS
has completed an agreement with Clinton high school
to send up to 70 students in September, 1962, alleviat,,
ing the threatened overcrowding conditions at the local
school,
the arbitrators may be appeal•
ed to county council.
"If we are going to form
union school sections or town-
ship school areas around urban
municipalities, then there would.
seem to be as much validity
to include portions of Usborne
and Tuckersmith townships
with the Hensall school as
there would he for the ad-
jacent areas in Hay township,
"The legislation for such a
step is set up in the Public
School. Act but action is up to
the local municipal councils
and T am somewhat skeptical
as to whether agreement could
ever be reached by four coun-
cils on the portions of their
municipalities to be included."
As Principal Robert Reaburn
of Hensall. PS reported to his
council last week, the move
would cost the ratepayers of
Hay sections more money for
the privilege of sending their
children to the modern Heiman
school,
Last year, the Hensall rate
for school--,purposes •was 23,6
mills compared to the Hay levy
of 12 mills.
Teachers accept
new PS schedule
Robert; Southcott, chall..man
of the teachers' committee on
the board, explained that; the
new schedule has been set up
to encourage teachers to im-
prove their education and
standing.
He pointed out that while the
maximum was lowered, the
spread between the categories
was increased making it pos-
sible for the teachers to in-
crease their salaries if they in-
creased their qualifications,
The minimum in category
one was increased from $2,800
Io $3,000, while the maximum
was reduced from $4,800 to
$4,600. The minimum in cate-
gory two is $3,300 and in num-
ber three it is $3,600.
The maximums in these ca-
tegories have been raised to
$5,200 and $5,500 an. increase
of $200.00 in number two and
$300,00 in number three.
The new category recogni-
zing teachers with BA degrees
has a minimum of $4,000 and a.
maximum of $6,200.
Consider supply staff
The board also decided to
contact other schools in the
district to see what they pay
supply teachers on their staff,
The local board have received
complaints that their present
salary of $12,00 per day is

Public School Inspector G.
John Goman said this week
two ways are provided by
legislation for Hay school sec-
tions to join with Hensel! PS,
He was commenting on the
petition signed by 99 percent
of the residents of three Hay
sections to have their children
attend 1-lensall school,
The inspector suggested the
move might prompt school sec-
tions in other municipalities
to make similar moves. In the
case of Hensall, he pointed out,
this would involve four muni-
cipalities. "I am somewhat
skeptical as to whether agree-
ment could ever he reached by
four councils on the portions of
their municipalities to be in-
cluded," he commented.
At the request of The T-A,
the inspector Outlined the legal
steps available to the areas:
"There are two ways in
which a change could. be ef-
fected. There is 'a possibility
of forming another township
school area or of forming a

dulph township this 'year,
Chairman Ron R. Crozier of
the new school area board re-
vealed this week.
"It takes a while to get go-
ing," he stated, "We are a new
board and we have a -new,
secretary. We don't want to
rush ahead and perhaps make
some costly mistakes." '
"We feel at the moment
that our objective should be to
have a school ready to open
by September 1, 1.963."
Chairman Crozier said the
hoard first must chose a site
and that conditions were not
satisfactory to do that; al; the
present time.
1111.. Crozier indicated the
board has not eliminated the
proposal of erecting two
schools, instead of one. "We
will consider this possibility,
but I don't think the majority
of people want two schools.
We haven't investigated costs
yet but I feel almost certain
that it will be more economical
to operate one school. How-
ever, we won't make .a decision
on that until we have made a
thorough study."
The board has taken a lour
of the existing schools in the
township. No improvements,
other than those absolutely re-
quired, are being planned in
view of the central school
prospect.
