The meeting of McKillop tow ship school trustees on Saturday a tertioon to discuss the propos Township School 'Boards Act w attended by thirty or more trustee Reeve 'McQuaid explained that understood that the Act would passed this year, and the meetin had been called ,o allow trustees t consider it. Mi.. Bruce Medd .wa chosen el:airmart and Mr, Melia secretary. Mr. Medd said that ever one realized there was a rural scho pioblern and the new Act was oifere as a solution. The 'Government di• not want merely to be told the Ac was not perfect; it wanted advic and suggestions to make the Ac better, Mr, McNay said he believe' the .Act was to bring high 'school education to the rural sehoo'ls; so tha children woui not have to lea their holies as soon as they passe their entrance. Mr. Wilson Camp bell criticized the present system o grants, and thought teachers' salaries were too high, Mr. George !McKee believed ,the salaries were•regulating themselves, and pointed out that too kw salaries a number of years ago had created a .serious shortage of teachers for a time. A number of speakers mentioned consolidated 'schools, high school subjects, the cost of training teachers tied the email attendance at some schools. It was point.d out that the new. Act: would probably leave the. sc'hoo'ls exactly as at present. Dis- cussionalso brought out the fact that in most cases it would be im- possible for one teacher to teach all classes from primer to Normal ens" trance. :Many speakers thought the present system of rural schools and high schools were sufficient, and a resolution to that''effect was carried, although not by any means unani mously. The following is an outline of tome of the important clauses of the pro- posed township school boards act: After the coming into to f g ore e of this y Act all the public schools in every township shall be administered by a board of trustees to be known as "The Township Board of Public School Trustees for the Township of A township p aming township). tshall of not less than three nor more than tten members,' one member being elected from each section in the township.'
