He said 'the depart- ment would not consider the acquir- irirrg of a house as an annex, and the only way was to +extead the present building at a cost of 5.18,000, "In referring to the, treasons why practically every town in the country was having the same t,ro'uibllte with over- crowded schools, he did not think the tl.dolescent Act, as far a it concerned a Collegiate, or High School, had very notch influence, It was his belief that thb reason for the greatly augmented attendance was due to a wide spread belief among the patents of the child- ren, in, better education, especially of a secondary character. This increase he pointed out, was not confined to the Province of Ontario, ;but . to the whole English speaking world." He •said the belief of the people in education was well founded and there need be no fear of a, decrease in schcni attendance. At a subsequent meeting of the St. Marys council, they voted the sum of $18,000 to build the .addition with- out referring it to the people for -a vote, Goderich Board of Education was in need of 558,000 antd•'the people car- tied the by-law.
