Canadians who normally depend for their livelihood on export

For five yeas the flow of foreign trade has been largely a gov-

Canadian enterprise must do its full share in finding customers
abroad. This means doing business all over the world, in strange
and distant cities, in a hundred languages and currencies.
Canadian hanks have a key role in this complicated but essen-

intricate operations to bring buyers and sellers togethet: across
the obstacles of distance, language and custom.

MOH SCHOOL. DISTRICTS
Mention had been Made here during
the Past few weeks of High School
Districts. There are two welt Dist-
ricts in Ontario, in Essex and Kent
Counties. Mr, Gordon Duffin, of the
Department of Education, speaking in
hanover, last week said that these
Were functioning in such a way that
;Oral students were receiving ,educat-
ional advantages, In his talk to the
Kinsmen Club at Hanover, Mr, Duffin
said that a.„ High School District does
not necessarily divide the county, but
runs over township and county lines, A
distrlet should have a ,population of
7000 people with an equalized assess-
ment of $5,000,000, All the ratepayers
are assessed the same, and ,for such a
district the average rate is approxima-
tely 2 mills. The High School Board
is composed of one member appointed
by each urban public school board,
one member appointed by the council
of each municipality and one Member
appointed by the County Council, it
is up to the High School District to see
that all students in that area attend that
school through bus service. Mr. Duffin ,
said that the building controller of con
Struction cannot allow materials to be
released for high schools at present
due to the housing shortage and that
materials could not be released for
twoyears.
We have been of the opinion for
some, time that if high school students
in areas such as ours are to receive
the best obtainable in education it
would be necessary to establish a dis-
trict to be so served. In the cities they
have their students in great numbers
close at hand and thus can give their
students the best as the schools are
large and have every facility. If we
are to have the best for our children
then we must adopt some system
which is different than which we have.
The High School District may be the
answer.

Mr. Cardiff maintained that War-
