Th bride, Another statement sythich requires correction is the statement 'thiat Ex- eter School taxes are being raised ev- ry year. Last year the: Board of Ed- ucation requested and received one thousand dollars iless than in 1921 and. this year the amount required has been further ,reduced, by ,five h•un- ed dollars. A comparison of 1921 d . 1921 fax receipts will establish at i,schooi taxes were reduced one 1 In 1922 and the 1923 notices will ow the further : reduction. represent- ; the ;fine hundred dollars decrease. i;s result was attaiined jni piste, of st extensions in the school's v ,e- iiess to community and the raising the ,standar.d of ,cll'iclen,cy so that now have a real school.. of which era citizen. can, feel proud..

': TAN ''L '�'t.x;` The ri e, To The Exeter Times. • Dear Sir`s The splendid results attained ,by Exeter High Schoolin the • Depart- mental examinations," both of 1922 and 1923, have had the hoped-for recognition on the part of the people of this High School District, From, an attendance of not more than one hundred the registrations have risen to two hundred this year and the possibilities of further increase are not exhausted. Exeter occupies a central position in one of the most intelligent and well-to-do sections of Ontario . and has an area about it larger than any other High School in the county. In the past, students from this area have been attracted to other schools by reason of the i n - efficiency of Exeter School and even. the children ofr ou own town have been compelled to go elsewhere to complete their secondary education. Today Exeter is coming into her own educationally. One hundred and fiftY` Young women and young, amen from the farms and neighboring villages. arel'here.and their parents 'are e"d link- up nk 'up withExete r cornnercsbc ially; ands wr,t. ally as never before. ' h•all that' means to lite and trade of our town:' Own people are no longer: compelled to contribute ' tribute to the life and, trade of other towns by sending away their children with the consequent break- ing of home influences and the in- crease of financial burdens. I believe that every citizen of Ex- eter is proud of our schools, both Public and High, and rejoices in their efficiency and in the unntistak- ,ab'le compliment of the parents of -the'llistrict,in sending their children to. Exeter. But I find that there are a few misconceptions on the part of some which I should like to correct. We hear it stated that Exeter is pay- ing for the education of the students from the country because there are no Sees charged outsiders under present Government regulations This is not correct. Exeter rate- payers pay for: Exeter students only. The total cost -is figuered per pupil and the Counties of Perth, ` Middle- sex and Huron contribute that cost according to their contribution to the attendance. In reality the large attendance of County. pupils reduces Exeter's school expenses by reason of. the fact that it would cost more per scholar to operate a snail school for Exeter only, than the larger school for the whole District: (If who was given in marriage by her an father, was charming in a gown of ti • white chiffon taffeta, with veil and ch orange blossoms, and carried a tion- , quet of • roses and lily of the valley, 1 Miss Helen Stanley, sister of the ea bride, was maid. of honor,- in steel tul pink and Dr. Marry I.
