provide adequate aeooramodatt�4on, and,
'before contracts are let; a thorough
study of •9ibese mutterer should be stn::
•dertaken' .
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

ready attacked by rot, and these
beams are supported• by brick stand-
ards which show now tae effects of

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`-.

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.

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.

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;

it 5-1 on Gerd Hildebrand's pass, Just

Warden .Haacke thanked the coup -
ell for electing him warders of the
beerier county of Huron and stated
that all the men in the race for the
honer were good; men.
He spoke strongly in favor of re-
forestati+on. He referred to the dis-
cussion of • the subject in last year's
