Levan, Inspector of High 'Schools, on Winglia,m • High School • "Under the management of a cap- able Principal, this school is running smoothly and doing very effective work. The teachers are all come et- ent and are devoting themselves to their duties with energy and enthus- iasm. The pupils are unusually reg- ular in their attendance and appear to be giving serious attention to their studies; and throughout the school there is a very commendable spirit of harmonious co-operation between pupils and teachers. The accommodations, however, very poor, with the consequence that the conditions under which the work is done are very poor. Because of thc inadequacy of the accommodations, one of the classes is overcrow led, and two others are located on the third floor of the building under c m- ditions which are neither sanitary nor safe. Mbreover, as there is no loom for expansion, new courses can- not be attempted. • The teaching of the C mune rcial subjects, which we uld be a boon to many pupils who do not ietend to become teachers or to enter professional life, cannot be undertak- en because of the lack of room. For lack of a gymnasiun-i the work cf physical culture is greatly restrictel during the winter months when bas- ket -ball and other indoor games have a strong, appeal for young people, For lack of an assembly hall it is irnpos-, sible for the Principal to promote the corporate unity :of the school by ga- thering all the pupils together for the cpening exercises and for a few m:n- !Ales of choral music before beginning the day's work, a practice which le followed in many schools to file great- - advantage. of the echtio,l as a whcl For these reasofiS, I 'should like to ficgo tipoti the mengders of the Board the nael ofirm-Whig : creased accommodations by which the school would be enabled to increase' very materially the service it renders to the community. • Owing to the large proportion of county pupils whn are being educated here, the Count/ Council woul& contribute sa 'go, d share of the cost of such an addi- tion, and the cost to the community would be correspondingly d' ninish- ed." In the above extract from the ie.- spector's Report, three things are etnphasized, (1) The unsuitable con- ditions under which Two Form., of the High School are compelkd to work. • (2) The impossibility of of- fering a conimercial • education io those students who do not desire enter a professional carreer. (3) The impossiblity of carrying on to the best advantage the physical training of the High School students. Some few years ago, the High School Board, realising,- that the School was -handicapped in cornpari- son with those of neighboring towns, such as Clinton and Goderich, made a careful study of the situation and had plans provided and costs estimated for an addition which would over- come the • unfavorable conditions, mentioned in the above report These plans called for the Fuilding of a gym- nasium with two class il'ooms and a science labratory above This would allow Commercial and Agricultural courses both to be taught in the High School, both of which come under the classification of Vocational. Vie Gymnasium would provide the re- quired conditions for proper physical training and could also be used as an Assembly room for morning ex- ercises, and for Literaryemeetings. Tenders were Called for and it was found that the proposed wing could be added to the present building et a cost of $25000. Under the present school law, the County is called upon to bear its pro rata share of building and repairing expense, which woeld mean, under present conditions of at- tendance at the High School, that' about 50% of the building expense would be borne by the County,. leav- ing the town to provide in the neigh- borhood of $125,00. If this were met by issuefnce of 20 -year c.1..ebMtiars1 76uid ost the lowp.bout pe7 year te ineei the interest and provide a $1&5' ,'C a sinking fund or an increase of about one and one-tenth mills per annum in the tax rate to give the High School students and: to those parents interested in vocational training, tne gftnie advantages as those enjoyed by the sehonle. pf neighboring town, such as Listowel, Clinton and Goder- kb. It therefore behoves the ratepae-ers who are interested in Secondary Edu- te tion to give the question of the er- v,ion of an addition to the Wingham H'gh School, in the near future, their rious consideration. Signed. on behalf of the Wingl.am High School Board, Frank R. Howson, Chairnian. PLEASING FLOWER SERVICE The annual Sunday School anni- versary and flower service was hzld in the United Church on Sunday morning. Prior to entering the an- ditoritun of the church, the members of the Sunday School assembled itt the schoolroom, where each menthe, was given a bouquet of flowers and the whole school marched to the church. At the front of the church there was a cross, with a background of maple leaves where the flowers were deposited and placed upon the cross. Wiith the profusion of fl' ers and the choir loft all draped in whiten the church presented a very beautifel • picture. The junior choir, under the leadership of the chair mas- ter, j. H. Christie, was in charge of the singing, the members being also gowned in white. Rev. C. W. De - Mille, of Stratford, was • the special preacher who directed his address to the members of the Sunday School in such a way that even the smallest member could grasp it ORANGE DECORATION • AND CHURCH SERVICE • L. 0.

ALL RIGHT On Monday the new fire alarm sir- en was placed in position in the town hall tower, wired up, and given a test. The elevation and new position prov- ed advantageous, for when the elec.- txic contact was made, the weird wail carried to all parts of the town, and easily penetrated the stores and of- fices down town. There will be no mistake in recognizing the noise, when occasion occurs to use it. . NORTH HURON U. F. O.
