The vote Was as follows: • .WAiRDS 1 2 ' 3 45 Total UK 14 1.6 2 29 10-101 4G.A1NST 4.7 '62 55 7o.. 36-270 A public meeting was called for Fri- day evening to discuss 'the bylaw, with heavy emphasis on the cuss.The meeting was not called in the 'usual manner by those who sponsored the byla-ise but wag, called by those oppos- ed to the bylaw petitioniag the May- or, Mr. Gebrge Spotton spoke against the bylaw and the discussion waxed very warm between Dr. Red- mond, Mr. Spotton and Mayor Willis' Mayor Willis .took exception to. Mr. Spotton moving that Mr. Isbieter be the Chairman, as it is customary at all such meetings that the Mayor oc- cupy the chair,' .0n motion of- Mr. Cosens and Councillor Mitchell 'the Mayor was voted to theshaia and he ruled over one of the warmest meet- ings the old town, hall has ever seen. MT. Spotton opposed the bylaw strenbusly, reasoning that the toviih could not afford to spend $42,000 which he figured would be the suin expended at $2,t0o per year for•a peri- od, of 20 years. The speaker also asked why the Public School trustees, had accepted a small grantfrom the ProvinCe, when, other towns had re- ceived a much larger grant. " Dr. Fox explained to the audience that the larger Government Grants to public schools were given to rural schools and schools in town and vill- ages under 2000 population, also that the board along with other boards all over the province were voicing their disapproval of this -divison of the school grants and that Wingham board' had sent Rev. Mr. Snell to 'Toronto where he addressed the 'pro- per officials of the department not on- ly on behalf of Wingham, but all On- tario towns of over 2000 population. Dr. Redmond explained that Wing - ham High School Board had not jurriped at the conclusion that the ex- tension was necessary. He felt that the Men of the High School Board were as good business men as Mr. Spotton and they knew more room was essential. The inspector had threatened that the govt. grant would be withheld unless better .accomoda- tion was provided, Mr. Spotton made fun of the appointment of a seventh teacher for a six room school compar- ing the new teacher's duties to elle fifth wheel of a wagon„ The docto: showed hon the la.batory would be turned into a class roc>rn and' also how a partition had been run down through the centre of the Assenibly Hall to provide for another class room. Mr. Abner • Cosens, who has been treasuret of High School from its' beginning read .from his book fi- guees to show that we muSt continue to accomodate pupils from the coun- ties of Huron and Bruce in order to retain their grants which are based on attendance: The following figui es rehow what the High School has cost the town and the counties for the past (our years: in 1921 it cost the to ye $438a while it cost the counties $3o12;' in f922 town $6899 and the count' s $7895; in 1923 the town share, $568 and the counties $933o. Mr. Cosens explained .that the cost of the exten- sion would be classed as maiatenance and that in this way it would really cost, the counties of Huron and Bruce more than it would cost the town... • Mayor Willis explained the council's rosition io putting the bylaw to the .electorto, vote on. A Committee composed of the High School Prin- cipal, the chairman and a couple of trustees waited on the council request- ing them to grant thein $25900 02 build the extension., Instead of this -then council decided' to pass tIte mat- ter on. to the taxpayers and allow them to decide, by ballott. The High School Bos.td were anxious to have the vote taken at once so that they could commence building operations this fall, therefore itead of waitific until' the December elections the chim- ed] were urged to lose no time in tak- ing the vote. The council were Sc.r- prided to find that the High School Trustees had decidert to, tot call a ,public meeting to put the matter fair - 3'5' before the electors, but instead a committee was formed ftom the High School- Board and the cbuncil to, write a letter '1:-0 the ,Advance-Tinies. Everybody knows' the rest. Dr. Reainond was the onlY, meither of the High School *Board who had the cour- age of his convictions to get up and defend the.bylaw it Public, and it was this lack of apparent interest of the High School Board, or, the majority of its' members, that was the real indana of killing the bylaws, at least tbat itt the opieien of a great many of chi' citizens. „ . There'is a groWin,g feeling in town that Wingliam ahoold have a bowel of ,education to 'replace the) achool trustees. This bozed ,which spends more money than the town council, shoold be elected. each year by the people and theia if they brought: for- ward it money bylaw to be voted cni, at least a majority might know whella- er they had baekbone enotigh•to sup- port the bylaw.

In the late fall of 7863 the early settlers held a meeting to arrange for the building and conducting of a school in the section, Three tros- tees were elected, with David Scott as Secretary and treasurer, which of- fice he faithfully fulfilled for 40 years, Walter Scott, donated a site, on the corner of lot 36, coueessiorr 7. • Timber being plentiful, they made "bees" and soon had the first school completed. Miss Hoare, now Mrs. James Harrison, of Bracebridge, was engaged as teacher, and opened the schbol on February 1, 1864, with two pupils, a girl andea boy! present, Geo, Fells and. Becca Harrison, both six years old. Gradually others were added to the roll and in a few years over too were in regular attendance, making times very lively, with no dull moments. The site was an ideal one for the chil- dren as the playgrounds extended a mile in every direction.. close by was the big hill, for sleigh -riding, the big creek, with its ice in winter and half a dozen rafts in summer,, the deep We for swimming, the islands and 1�t s of trees and bushes. • There we're enough thrilling adven- tures and hairbreath escapes here to fill a large' volume. Just say "the is- land" to one of the old-thne Pupils if you want to see their eyes sparkle and it big smile on their faces. The school Was also used as a com- munity ball. Religious services were held in it from time to time and for years a flourishing .Sunday school was conducted by James Wrightman with good results. The section also held the township library. Por years the nominations were held here aad the elections still are held. there. , After a time a larger school was me quired and a frame ohe was built up on the hill, with 'up-to-date equip- ment, and opened in4anuary, 1877. Here a half -acre was feoc'ed for a playground, much to the chagrin of the pupils,' .A flourishing literary and debating society was carried on here and for years it was noted far and wide for its debating and literary talent. ' The frame school was not as sub- stantially built as the log one had been as up on the hill it caught all the heavy winds. It was old-fashioned and shaky and it was considered well to build a new one, and in 1914 a fine, modern red brick one was built on the site of the old log one. In the world war it did its share, as its fine honor roll shows. Twenty- one are on the roll of honor, four of these paid the supreme sacrifice. Out of the hundreds that have at- tended here only two died while pu- pils. The attendance* has this 'last few years been gradually falling off, till now only 19 are on the roll. Many excellent teachers held sway here, their' time ranging from three months to five -years leaving to further their education or on expiration of their certificates. Of the 34 tea- chers eight are deceased, We here give a fairly complete list of the Secretary -Treasurers, Teach- ers, and Pupils, many of whom have crossed through the valley and are resting from their labors., ' Mrs. D. Cook It is interesting to note that Mrs. D. Cook, the first girl pupil has al- ways lived within sight and sound of the school, that Mary Cainpbell now Mrs, Sin1S, Blyth, was the first pupil of the second generation to atteod No. 13. That David C. Scott "Spot- ty" of Detroit was the first of the third generation arid Peter D Scott the first aad only one of the fourth generation to attend No. tj.
