Council Gives Approval To Go
Ahead With New Public School
•
HOtne and School EARLY COPY
Association Told
Of School Plans
J;• H. Kinkead, Inspector for
schools in North Huron, was gues
speaker at the May meeting of th
Home & School Association. The
meeting opened with "The King'
and two numbers by the senior
choral group of the public school
with Miss M. E. Turnbull conduct
ing, and Mrs. J. A. Stewart as ac-
companist. Mrs. W. T. Tea11, presi
dent, announced in the absence o
D. N. Eastman, that Open Hous
Friday evening, May 18, would
commence at 7:30 p.m.
F. E. Willis, chairman of the
School Board, in introducing Mr.
Kinkead, credited him with being
instrumental in assisting Seaforth
get a new much-needed public
school. Mr. Kinkead, in his open-
ing remarks, stated it has been a
pleasure to work with the board
.here, and was pleased to know they
were soon to have a dream come
true. He congratulated the school
choir, stating that Seaforth excels
in music.
Having had considerable experi-
ence in .Home and School Club
work for several years in Toronto,
he spoke with experience as he
spoke on the work of the club, its
duties, purpose and difficulties. He
stated, "Such a club is organized
for a purpose, which is the com-
mon welfare of the boys and girls,
of the community. Its purpose is
to co-operate and help the school
board and bring more closely to-
gether the pupil, parent and teach-
er, and to help iron out difficulties
or misunderstandings between the
ratepayers and the board, and the
ratepayers and. the staff." He con-
tinued: "Difficulties almost always
disappear and there is no longer a
problem when differences are talk-
ed over."
t
e
He said he felt the greatest dif-
ficulties today are the changes
made in the course of study and
the method of -teaching the same,
in comparison to the time when
the child's parents went to ,school.!
The task facing Home and i
School clubs is to do everything
possible to bring in all the par-
ents. He continued: "The school
board is the mouthpiece of the
ratepayers, so it is the duty of all
on election day to vote for board
members you feel would do the
best job.
"The board has already over-,}
come a huge obstacle in that a new
school is promised and in the of-
fing, but they will have other ob-,
s•tacles, and the Home and School
Club must help them."
He outlined several topics which
the association could possibly use
for future meetings: Why teach
certain subjects in such -and -such a'
manner; talk over how schools are
financed; the special child, the
difficult, meek or overly clever
child; guidance programs; music
night; open night; an open day,
when parents could see the actual!
workings of the school. pupils and
teachers at work; a meeting at
which the men put on the program
and serve lunch.
In his concluding remarks he
compared the modern method of
teaching English and reading in
comparison with the method used
in the parents' day. He wished the
club every possible success and
advised them to never become dis-
appointed, and to look forward

H. JACOBI CHOSEN
STUDENT NT LEADER.
17 -Year -Old Pupil Takes
Part in All Curricular
Activities.
Harry Jacobi, a Grade 12 student
at Seaforth District High Sohool,
has been named by his fellow
pupils as the student leader for
the current year. The 17 -year-old
leader is active in track andfield,
member of the senior basketball
team for two years, member of the
rugby squad, andplays intermedi-
ate baseball for the Hensall team.
Always an average student in his
class work, Harry is a member of
the Boys' Athletic Society and par-
ticipates in all extra curricular ac-
tivities
o-tivities at Seaforth High.
Baseball is selected as his favor-
ite siports because of the precise
timing required. "To be outstand-
ing in the sport a player must be
good both offensively and de-
fensively," Harry states. Alertness
as well as constant thinking are
two important factors in the game.
Coaching in our schools could be
improved by having more films on
pro athletes as well as more inter-
school games.
"A discussion of present day
happenings ahould be held by the
students during one half of the
regular history period to encoidr,as
the student to take more interest
in our world affairs."

BUILDING TO COST
NOT . MORE THAN
275,000 DOLLARS
Bicycles in Seaforth To Be
Licensed With Fee of
Fifty Cents.
Seafonth Council gave its approv-
al to the. Public School Board for
the erection and, equipping of a
new' school, to cost not more than
$275,000. The next step is to ob-
tain the Municipal Board's approv-
al before any actual expenditures
may take place. Councillors Siiarp
and Crich held out for a vote of
the people to decide the issue.
The matter was brought to• a
head when the board waited upon
council at its regular meeting on
Monday. J. H. Kinkead-, inspector
of Schools, stressed that an early
start should be made, because of
rising costs and the increasing dif-
ficulty in obtaining materials. Of
the $275,000.00 estimated cost, a
Government grant will cover 40 per
cent. He reviewed the need for a
new. school,, saying that very short-
ly there will be 50 pupils begin-
ning in one-year, and with the pre-
sent building there will be abso-
lutely no accommodation.
Councillor Sillery tabled his re-
port on a public rest room, saying
that the committee deemed it in-
advisable to have one in the Town
Hall because of drainage problems,
the long stairway and heavy doors
and recommended the Public Lib-
rary, because of its Convenient lo-
cation. The committee was author-
ized to carry on its negotiations
with the Library Board.
Councillor Christie reported that
the redecorating of the police of-
fice ,had been begun.
A report on a civic. defence meet-
ing held recently in London, was
given by Councillor Daly. It was
ouncil's general opinion that no
action be taken until the necessary
direction is given by either federal
or provincial government, or at
least by some group more vitally
concerned.
A detailed explanation was given.
of the town's financial statement
by John Broughton, auditor. In-
cluded in his comments was the
need of a detailed list of the town
assets, and the fact that tax ar-
rears were high for the times.
Councillor Sillery asked council
to recommend that when the Sea -
forth detachment of Provincial
Police gets a new car, that it be
a black one.
Councillor Christie reported that
the town weigh scales was not ac-
curate, and that a repair man had
been called to make the necessary
adjustments.
The town dump was reported to
be in a bad condition again. The
contract with John Regier to sup-
ervise it, expired the end of the
year, and had not been renewed.
J. C. Crich, town appointee on
the No. 2 Seaforth Fire Area, re-
ported that all the townships were
in favor of bhe area and were will -
into pay their share as proposed.
He asked for further direction in
Seaforth's share to supply build-
ing, heat and certain amount of
hose,` all of which not to exceed
$1,800. It has been suggested that
an addition be made at the rear of
the Town Hall about 30 feet long,
to house the new truck. Thus the
two trucks would} be together, with
a separate entrance for each.
Councillor E. Daly, in ,his street
committee report, said that the new
drains on James St. and the Tuck-
ersmith Agricultural Survey, had
been completed. The necessary
scarifying has been done. An en-
gineer is to be consulted regarding
town streets, with the view of lev-
elling Main Street to eliminate wa-
ter holes, repairing breaks on John
St., and to make an overall plan of
street maintenance.
F.. I -t. Close tabled his report on
the cost of bicycle license plates,
saying that from information ob-
tained from other towns. the plates
cost 19c and the fee charged is 50c.
He was instructed to bring in a by-
law to next meeting covering the
licensing of bicycles.
The town agreed to lend the P.
U.C. $10,000, without interest, to
cover a deficit in the waterworks
department, created when the last
well was drilled.
