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.

One must bear in mind that today's prosperous town was not at that distant date even incorporated as a village. 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.: The fleet recollection of school days in Wingham was when the township Crop Report 11_11. ▪ The extreme hot, dry weather which • has been ideal for the completion of the grain harvest and storing of ex- cellent quality second-cut hay, has caused severe damage to the eulti- a voted crops, The corn crop is drying up, white beans are being harvested two Or three weeka earlier than usual making soya beans and sugar b drayhihingg u little growth.
