LION'S CLUB HELD LADIES' NIGHT' (Continued from page One) b,etter standard of education could be attained. With the costs spread' over a greater assessment and a larger popu- lation, the cost of educatiOn could be greatly . decreased and at the same time, much better schools and courses of education could be provided. He felt that composite schools were the objective of the Department of Educa- tion and with the larger schools and a greater ',number of pupils, much better courses could be offered. School bus- ses could be operated to bring in the students each day. It was generally conceded. that about 3% of the population would be students for secondary schools. Where the larger High School Dist- rict had been tried out this percentage had been raised to 4% and in some cases as high as 5%. A consultative committee had been set up in each County and after a careful survey of the district, boundar- ies would be recommended for each district. Mr. Game presented several different cases indicating that with the present system of grants and the larger school areas, the cost of educa- tion to the people would be greatly reduced and at the same time, better facilities would be available to students In a •representative case where the a's- scssment or the school district would amount to $10,000,000 and with about 800 students in attendance, the cost of education for a school operating at au annual cost of about$6,000, would only be about 1,2 mills, Mr, Game cited several similar cases and in every case, the actual cost to the rate- payer was quite low. In dosing Mr. Game stressed the following points, (1) Larger High School Districts eCittld provide excellent composite Schools with a wide range of courses, (2) Transportation for all pupils of the district would provide equal opportun. ity for all, (8) Representation on the Board for all municipalities was pro- vided and (4) LOW uniform tax rates for education for the district. On motion of Lions Wally Arm- strong and Walton McKibbon a hearty vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Game for his fine explanation of this advanced educational move: District Deputy Governor Fred Spry present- ed Mr. and. Mrs. Game with a souvenir of the occasion. The meeting closed with the usual song and the Lions roar.
