Articles 1,
By J. G. Staubury-
Through the courtesy of the Editor
and impelled by a sense of nay duty
as a member of the Board of Educa-
tion: to those whom T represent:, I
wish to give the ratepayers of Ex-
eter a few of the facts iu connection
with the present school problems
which. are either not known by the
people or are being 1u1 miscon-
strued
purposely n
strued to them by the apostles of
stagnation: I do so with no illusion
of being able to alter' the attitude
of, the men and women who see no
civic or••patriotic duty in helping to
educate the future citizens of Exeter
and of our Dominion when they are
the children of athes people Nor is
there any prospect of information
satisfying those selfish' individuals
who have already had their own
children educated,. and who now re
fuse td The children of their neigh-
bor that fair start in life which is
now the right of every boy and girl.
Fortunately in Exeter we have very
few of either class, I do address
these articles, however; to the great
body of unselfish sensible citizens
who need only to know- the true con-
ditions to der_iand that constructive
and remedial measures be taken. At
present some of the, ,best friends of
the children are being frightened by
a bug -a -boo. They are told that the

quirement for the public - school is
an assembly hall in which the -child-

of all is the abolition of that moral
