In this connection, and for ,the fu- ture utune ddrectton of these departments, -for scan purchasing supplies; and no �comlplete co-operation in the future for all educational, prob- lems, it is felt that a Union Board of 'Education should' be timed tempor- arily, with.' the abject of control ulti- mately by a .Municipal. Board of 'Edu- •cation in charge of both schools.: It is appreciated that the members: of the Collegiate Board Nave ,".alreade .done much work, and • that "4t would 'be a hardship for threra to have to re- eonsider the Collegiate problem es well as urea :take responsibility for conditions in the Public School, but pn account of the tar-reaobing aspects of the problem, and the fact that a -policy ought be be formed, now, cov- ering educational requirements fir a long period of time, such would seem advisable. The ability aid' experience of members of the Collegiate Board vrould be of great assistance in the forming, of plans • for the Public School, and; the advantages of a large er group of mem undertaking the re- sponsibility are very great., me;.statement has been. made that •while the record of the Seaforth Col- legiate Institute is second to none, the rxpetition of modern 'well-eta/IP- tied schools on either side of Sea - forth has ,been severely felt during the east decade, in the loss of attend- :•.nce of pupils from outlying districts, •;resulting in falling off of " revenue. This condition must be met -by pro- sooting similar faeilities. Also, pupils• from our own district deserve all that• may be provided 'for health, training and comfort. ' Itis expected that before a new term begins the Collegiate Institute facilities will com- pare favorably with the 'best in the {district. In regard to the public school build- ing, an inspection by a representative of'the Department of .Education, has been completed, but a report has net yet been received. This inspec- tion was requested privately 'by inter- ested parents, concerned with - the safety of the building. The temporary repairs, undertaken during the Christ- mas holidays would seem to ensure safety nor the present. It has been advised, however, that - the loadings and bearings should be followed down from top to bottom to ensure that there is no condition present that might cause a collapse. Whatever new joists, posts, etc., are put in now, can, at best, be only a short • term insurance against failure. Necessar=y Improvements -Ignored While numerous necessary repairs are listed in the report, some seem unnecessary, others useless. While the report presumes to deal generally with the school, • it has omitted the most necessary features•, such as ven- tilation, daylight and artificial light - Ing -Improvements, insulation, fire hazards, gymnasium, site, condition and size of school grounds, etc. The system of ventilating by pulling down a window when the room is too hot, and keeping all stale air in at other times, was obsolete thirty years ago,. When a window is- lowered' from the toe the warm fresh air, which bas risen from the radiators in front of the windows,' is forced, outside. if •the itiwer window is raised, there is a draught on the pupils. Ventilation should be obtained by drawing cold, contaminated air from the floor by forted suction vents. Modern air- conditioning is impossible in this building, so need not ,be mrentioned'- The present windows are ill-fitting due to time and weather; lifting ropes attached to weights are broken in many cases, and many of the frames will have to be renewed. Day- • sight obtained' by two small windows on each side of the room provided ,. the most cruel kind of • glare, from :cross lighting. Greatly increased win- dow openings should be installed on oaer side, of the room and white linen 'blinds provided to control glare. The m'odlfled °improvements recently in- stalled in artificial lighting should be -supsplem tented by a farm of auxiliary lighting. insulation bas been proven •to be (economical in the Collegiate ami' other buildings by the saving "effected 111 fuel. Repairs 'Underani meted • If a work Of the magnitude set out In the report was oomrnenoed, no •doubt many more repairs would have ;to be anade. These cannot be arnica exited at all fully, •biit to quote one inetanoe, ,tha•£ df the brickwork men- tioned entioned as requiring rebuildings (that 46, the west side of the south wing) ninth would likely necessitate eon- nkterable staying and. replacement of the upstairs floor. The statement -that the brickwork is sound and strong Inn liesbeen denied to the so-call- ed "Imeroveme'nts." While doubtless • it was substantially built, there are •signs of failure of brickwork in other Places than the one specifically listed. Ahs- instance of the impressibility of foreveeing whet a'm'ount of work will be entailed In, these; repairs, and a good idea 'sof• how far under -estimated It is likely to -be, is shown in the re- «eominendatfote that 15 er 20 joists be repro in the boiler rdom inmetta af City: • At 4erast 40 were .re'quil+o for the- nribilrdenerAir Christina ":holldaya.

Last Call--Do.n't Wait --Buy .Now, STEWAR.T CROS., SEAFOR part of the permanent repairs anyway is offset by the fact that they are. supported by beams which are 'al- ready attacked by rot, and these beams are supported• by brick stand- ards which show now tae effects of overloading due to shifting of build- ing stresses in settlement of the build- ings. _ .".. It is impossible •tti really 'modernize' this building, but the argument that it is as good as those attended 30 to 45 yearn ago is ridiculous as an ex- cuse for doing nothing about it. Tre- mendous advances thave been made in the past twenty years in the science of building. Any added initial cost for fireproof constru-otion, air condi- tioning •aiid insulation, will soon ne saved in insurance and fuel bills, to say nothing of the physical and men- tal welfare of the teachers • and pup- ils. Days lost through illness caused by contamenatdon in fa crowded stuffy room, apart from the dangerd dis- comfort to the pupil, results i�ineffi- ciency in work and a low-ering of the class standing. Conservation of eye- sight' has been .made an international concern and is sponsored by Govern- ment and charitable organizations and a•ervice, clubs throughout the world. Research reports testify that adequate lighting will raise efficiency as much as 15 per Dent. Many pupils ,•with permanently impaired eyesight might justly blame that disability on eye strain while attending. this school. It is just a matter of time until tbe •real value of these modern im- provements in construction is realiz- ed by tine public, When a demand will ren doubt be made le provide theme in public building$, es ecfaliy schools, where in Seaforth approximately 400 children, in both schools, spend six hours. a day in those surroundings. The eighteen hundred dollar maxi - mem estim fie .contained in the' re- port, is open to serious• question. The probable cost of any permanent job of the repairs listed ., would; amount 'more likely to eight or ten thousand dollars. in addition, improveiments required to reasonably modernize the building would be. between four and five thousand dollars, These figures are not rough guess'es, but Have been esatimnbted+ New Building Less Costly a If thdre' le a possibility that -the 1owm m1gEFrt• bb farced With an expen- diture of .nearly' fifteen thousand dol- lars to repair and: bring the public school partially up in date, the report of a reliable structural engineer should) be obtadnnedl, and a sound. type of .construction suggested for a new building. Government grann; are not given for repairing an old school, but it is. ubder-st'ood that half the cost for new construction is paid by the Prov- ince. In su ah ease, by utilizing much of the present equipment, Such as heading plant, desks, blackboards, ,tc., it might be possible to construct a modern new building at Little recre cost to the town, It would beprat:- neatly free of repairs for at least 20 ydars, 'w'hereas to keep the 80-y'eat`-. old building, built in 1857, in repair, 4t' Y:r would require an additional annual expenditure of about $500. Sh.ould View Problem as a Whlole. When it is.....rememnbered too that the Collegiate Board is obligated to a minimum expenditure of $25,080.00 thie year, would it not be .wise to view the building requirements of Seaforth schools as one job and to -obtain' -live -'services __of a • competent structural engineer to design and plan a building set-up that would -in- clude all the neeessary requirements for the future? In this way any build- ing• done this year would be but a unfit in a larger scheme, which, at the end of the Building program, ten or even fifteen years from now, would be a completed whole. . The financing of such a project would be easier than ever before as Money could be obtained on deben- tures at an exceedingly low rate of interest at the present time. Public Opinion `.invited • It ie ,hoped that some interest will be It, and comments, con- structive criticism and suggestions will be offered as a guide to public opinion. The above remarks are not original, but suggestions have been gleaned from many people whose keen letereet has encouraged the writer to present this summary on behalf of better education. CITIZEN Beavers Win Twice (Continued from Page 1) Marys put the Beavers in an awkward position by scoring twice while the was off and then argain after he came on again, to put.the count 6-5. The last five minutes were esnxious ones for the Beavers as they tried every trick to hold their lead. They did the job to the finish and canfle out of the game with their first victory of the season. Seaforth 5; New Hamburg 3 Ninety-nine per eent- of the fans at the New Hamburg- Seaforth game Would 'swear that the count should 'have been 6-3, but as the Beavers won anyway, what's the difference! A goal was scored by Gerd Hildebrand in the third period 'that was disallow- ed. The referee was about to face- off at centre and call it a goal when the goal judge called him back and said that Hildebrand had put, it is with his band. The fans went up in the air about it, but nothing was done except that it wasn't counted and the goal judge was dismissed. Although both Seaforth: lines play- ed a good game, the first line were, lucky in the .sconing. Many times Dunlop, Kruse and: Flannery made clever rushes but just tailed to nick the twine, Gord Muir tallied first en a ss from the Hildebrand brothers. here the period finished, New Hem - burg tied 'it up, 1-1, when B. Reids scored on Rednhart'e pass: Four goal; were''scored by Seaferth in the 'seeond :period: Al. lilt- debrand accounted for the first three; the first unassisted from a faceoff; the second, Brother Gerd, and the third from Van Bell. Gord Muir made it 5-1 on Gerd Hildebrand's pass, Just as bbie bell sounded Weed the per- iod, Mei•h'm shot home Boehler's pass. • Meibm again scored in the third on Reid's pass to put the official count -5-3-.• -The Burgers -played' _every mean. up' in an effort to tie the count, but were unsuccessful.
