Staff is, Being Increased to Four Teachers—Upper xs LJppez School Studies to be Added Six x Scholarshl s have been Established tied EXETER The development of Exeter as a Higg h School. -centre seems to be the natural outcome of a growing desire on the parents of both a 1 aments find children in South Huron for a broader and bet- ter education. For a nu1nber of years a Continuation School was maintained, but a couple of years ago it was found advisable tochange this to • a High •School with a staff of" three teachers. This. year so insistent was 'the demand for fur ther improvement that the Board of. Education• unanimously decided, to increase the staff to four teachers, commencing September next, thus not only expanding the facilities for Lower and Middle c e Sc ool' work h � 1 lint, enabling Exeter High School 'to take Upper School studies as well. The central location of Exeter with respect to the townships of Usborne, Stephen and Hay, and the villages of Hensall, Zurich, Crediton, Centralia, Dashwood and Winchelsea makes it a matter of some interest to the people of this district both from the standpoint.of expense and convenience to have a well-developed High School at their very door. The town is also for- tunate in having many good homes where students may -Obtain board at reasonable rates. Having decided to increase the staff to four, teachers, the Board has determined to make the school thoroughly efficient in every depart- ment. A well-equipped • Science Laboratory is one of the developments :being arranged with a Specialist in Science in charge. Mathematics, Languages and Art will all have teachers of the highest standing so that whether the student is seeking the Teachers' Certificates Or Uni- versity education he will find at Exeter the fa- cilities for his career. Moreover, Exeter High School will aim to give a good general educa- tion to those who may desire to improve their. knowledge, irrespective of the professions. In these days a mere Public School education does not adequately equip a person for the duties of citizenship. In order to stimulate effort and encourage HIGH SCHOOL proficiency the Board has established1 e fol- lowing t z g Scholaa•ships "in connection with Exeter High School 1.
