"We are in fall agreement that the Present Congestion presently being experienced at the Clinton Public School cannot be tolerated in- definitely. However, we do no believe that transferring pupils from one school to another is the answer; at best it would serve only as a stop- gap solution. • "A&the industrial potential of Hensall, Zurich, Vanastra 'and the general area is realized, and residential growth keeps pace with it, possibly within five years we would be fated with the problem all over again. "Also, the intreased cost of busing and the complexity of . setting up a completely new system is another negative factor that must be con- sidered. As well, the splitting up of faniily units° and removal of the common factor within the community is highly undesirable.
