The secondary school con- sultative committee's report was presented by Warden Webb. Failing an agreement between Goderich and Wingham boards, the committee recommended transfer from Goderich district to Wingham of Lots 31 and 39 in Con. 5 East Wawanosh, and the west half of Lot 32, north half of 31 and east half of 32 in Con. 4 be detached from Gode- rich district to Wingham; also that an arbitration board be ap- pointed at the January session. Public School Inspector Jas. Kinkead spoke to the two re- ports at the same time. "Certain north -and -south roads in East Wawanosh are dif- ficult to maintain in winter," he said. "At one time, some students in Wingham district came to the collegiate here and fees were paid. At other times, students living in Gode- rich high school district, out around Westfield, went to Wing - ham high school and fees were paid. During the past few years no fees were paid, nor was there any agreement, and this has continued for some time. I feel that the members of county council who set up high school districts years ago did it with the belief that if there were little spots where it was difficult to maintain trans- portation the two boards could get together and arrange a transfer of pupils, and that fees be paid, or pupils classed as resident pupils of the district in which they were attending school. "I do not want to say I am critical of the school boards, because I have worked with them, but sometimes we get in- to a problem we simply cannot settle, and members of the con- sultative committees have met at various times trying to solve these, "One request from East Waw- anosh was for transfer of about three times as much property, and revision of the boundaries between Clinton and Wingham. In July we sent a note to Wing - ham high school board and God- erich collegiate board and said: 'There are four pupils involved. If Goderich will pay tuition fees to Wingham board this will solve the problem. Otherwise, the pupils on these lots would have the right to attend the Wingham school, in this case. The Wingham bus has travelled along the fifth concession for 'years. Arbitration will deter, mine if there should be some ;transfer of money in lieu of taxes.' "The only party not com- mitted to share in the cost per „pupil was the department, be- !cause it cannot pay a grant on !fees paid Wingham of Goderich board, because fees were not 'paid." Reeve Ernest Snell, East 'Wawanosh, thanked the com- mittee and expressed a hope that the arbitration board would give a fair settlement. "It is unfortunate," said Warden Webb, "when county council is called in to deter- mine school boundaries. School boards should be able to co- operate i,a such matters, "County councils are going to have a lot more to do with administration of education. We are coming to a situation in which 50;'o of all pupils in sec- ondary schools will go into vo- cational and technical courses. Members of council must take a long view of the purposes of secondary schools, and the way in which they should serve Hur- on. From our experience with the secondary schools of Huron I think the work is improving as we go along. It is not just the locating of schools, but the work that can be done in them, and I feel this county council is going to be called upon many times as to where we will place these schools." Cooking Class At Gibson Home FORDWICH—The Women's Institute cooking class on the project, "Vegetables with a Flair" was held at the home of Mrs. Robt. Gibson, with nine- teen members participating. This training school was spon- sored by the Department of Ag- riculture, with Miss Mary Mc- Grath of Toronto as the instruc- tor. Mrs. Robt. Gibson and Mrs. John Inglis were the local lead- ers of this nutrition project. Several demonstrations from the course are planned for fu- ture Institute meetings this year.
