Davies, CD, of Grads- by, Alberta. At Centralia for A request by North Norwich township council that the depart- ment of education take action to upgrade "sub-standard private schools" has received wide en- dorsement from county councils to which a resolution on this subject was sent. Clerk Robert Watkins reports 13 endorsements to date, seven "nay" replies, one agreement in principle, and in one instance a county council referred the resolution—for some reason not easily under- stood—to the Dominion govern- ment. Huron council's legislative committee, of which Reeve Ken- neth Stewart, McKillop, is chair- man, gave the resolution some study and did not recommend concurrence, pending fuller in- formation. The facts are that when cen- tral schools were built in the townships of North and South Norwich, five years ago, the Amish people bought two old single-room schools, one in each township.

Has worked in the Motor Equipment Section of term, classes have been held, and the schools are operated independently of departmental standards. Accordingly, no in- spector has authority to check on the situation. North Norwich council in its resolution set forth that "pri- vate schools operated by groups who do not give an equal oppor- tunity in education do not supply adequate school or plant or give students the type of outlook or competition with other children of the community as has been promoted by the department." The council proposed that the department "take the necessary steps to bring sub-standard pri- vate schools in this category up to the standard of public schools in the same school area . . . and that the trustees of private schools comply with these standards or be compelled to send their children to the public schools."
