Mrs. Pauline Hall, Museums
advisor, for the Historical and
Museums Branch of . the
Ministries and Colleges and
Universities spoke to a meeting
of the Huron Historic Jail
Board advising them to display
a number of dtartifacts being
stored for them by the Ministry
of Correctional Services in
Toronto.
Mrs. Hall suggested that the
artifacts could be placed in
displa,9 cases for display . in a
part t f the jail or the Gover-
nor' house. .,Secretary, Mrs
El, Haydon urged the com-
mittee 'to make use of the ar-
facts for display but only on
e second or third floor of the
governor's house so as not to
duplicatexisting museums.
Mrs..HAvdon also urged the
group tai leave` the premises
basically untouched and create
a museum of penology which
would be the first of its kind in
North America. She insisted
that the committee should con-
centrate on creating a first
class museum of penology, void
of any additional clutter ' to
retain the jail 's stark and
mysterious atmosphere.
It was also suggested that the
Board abandon its volunteer
guide operation and staff the

expenditure ceiling
A 13 -per cent increase in the
education expenditure ceilings
for 1975 was announced last
week - by Education Minister
Thomas Wells:
In a memorandum to the
pr`ovince's school board chair-
men, Mr. Wells -stated that the
expenditure ceilings for an
'elementary Pupil in 1975 will
be $876, an inbrease of $172
over this year. The ,ceiling per
secondary school student will
be $1,391, up x`$160 over this
year.
Inaddition, school' boards
may spend an extra $871 i,per
elementary pupil, if they so
choose.. .
This matter was on the
agenda at 'last Friday's` meeting
of the Huron County Board of
Education, but trustees are still
awaiting the various tabling
factors necessary to 'compute
how the legislation will affect
this county.
In his memo to. the chairmen
Mr. Wells stated:
"One cannot., over -emphasize
the importance of the early
years ,of a child's education.
More money is definitely not
the only way to achieve im-
provements, especially ' in
education, nor is it the solution,
to every problem. But today. in
Ontario a need is perceived for
additional discretion under our
ceilings policy to support and
strengthen elementary school
from the' Bible which were read
by several members.
"Thanksgiving Day comes
around every fall but how
many times do we stop to think
of its significance?” she asked.
Our forefathers gave Thanks,
When we read Psalm No. 9 we
read that King David • gave
thanks.even in the midst of
war. In Psalm No. '103 we find
a thankful. heart is like a
magnet it, yvill find blessings
among -everything. We all have
Hauch to be thankful for but too
often we ask. God for'. blessings
and so many other things and
Seldom thank God for the
blessings and all our benefits."

In his memo Mr. Wells
stated that despite concerted
efforts to keep • spending down
inflation is having an .impact
on education as it is on every
other aspect ,of society.
However, the 13 -per cent in-
crease should allow boards to
keep up with the cost increases
that are beyond their control.
He reminded board chairmen
that any decision by a board to
raise its spending up to the new
ceiling levels is stiictly a local
board decision.
"The ceilings are merely up-
per spending limits, and the
onus lies on school boards to
,continue to operate efficiently
and effectively, in the interests
of the ' pupils ' and the public
they serve," the:memo stated.
' "If inflation continues as it is
now, 19.75 will not be without
challenge for all those in
education. Together we have an
extremely important respon-
sibility to the. public — perhaps
doubly importa t in the coming
year — to keop spending in-
creases to an- absolute
minimum, and to maintain the "
level of quality in. education
which we have a°chieved," the
memo. concluded.
