No Grades. in Those Days
Hereby hangs a short story that
the change that has taken place in the
educational system of the province.
Visiting with a son a few years ago,
his young daughter put the query to
me, "What grade were you in when
you quit .school," It was a surprise to
her to be told that we didn't .have
grades in those days that we were
prernoted from one book to another.
First te. would., to third, to fourth
then, to fifth.
And so Wingham had a public school
building the town could Well be proud
of, and it nerved the school purposes
of the municipality for many years.
'But the Board of .Education became
aware of the urgent .necessity for a
High School to meet the requirements
of not only the town but the surround-
ing district. So a High School was es-
tablished, Then this building became
inadequate to Meet the increasing de-
mand for higher education, So two
frame buildings were brought here
from an abandoned air pert near
Goderieh. A bus service was inaugur-
ated and added to as necessary.
Encounter Problems
In the meantime it was deemed ad-
visable to add four rooms to the Pub-
lic school and these were erected to
house all the children up to tee age
when they went to high school.,
Now we come to the most difficult
problem of all—the necessity for an
enlarged High school that will meet
with the requirements of the provinc-
ial Department of Education, A High

of the then Township of Turnberry

bear in mind that today's prosperous

Population of 450
Upper Wingham's population at that
time was perhaps 450, with an addit-
ional 200 in what was
known as Lower Wingham, the orig-
inal town site, .for here, as in many
other instances, the Government sur-
veyors had laid out the "town plot" of
Wingham in whet is known as Lower
Wingham, instead of the beautiful and
advantageous position of the township
which today Wingham proper possess-
es. Gradually new residents coming
here settled on the higher ground,
and the population in this section
commenced to grow rapidly. This
growth was enhanced by the building
of a railway from Palmerston to Kin-
cardine in 1873.:

FARM ACCIDENTS
There are a lot of people who
shudder every time they read of an
airplane accident, or a train acci-

never travel in a plane or on a busy
highway during holiday traffic. They
dread to pick up their newspaper or
to turn on their newscaster for fear
they'll hear a story on war casual-
ties in some far flung battle ground.
-But these same people disregard
the highest rate of accidents, fatal or
otherwise, despite the fact that these
accidents are taking place literally
right under their noses. I am speak-

every day, on every concession, and
