The request was refus- ed. In matters of this kind the East Simcoe town is not an exception. All over Ontario, in the towns especially, the schools are looked upon as holies of holies which must not be entered by the unclean, to wit, the ratepay- ers, who own them and supply the money necessary to keep them going. It is a wrong policy, Instead, as The Bulletin has urged again and again, they might, in fact, they should, be made community centres, places where the fathers and mothers and elder brothers and sisters would be priviI- eged to meet from time to time. Were this done, otic belief is thiit the parents and others would be- come more interested in edu- cation, with corresponding benefits to the boys and girls. —Collingwood Bulletin.
