alio increase the demand for See-
OndtIcy School, accOmModation tit this
lf Exeter does gut benefit
:by it other towns will. Our atleaU-
tuee risen from 86 to 198 in
three years and 1 have no doubt
battever that there will be 260 stu-
eats at 'Exeter iligh School within,
two years more if we are wise
entrugh to welcome them. Let me
here answer those faithless individ-
uals 'who pretend to fear that if the
Adolescent Act is abolished we will
no longer need a High School. Will
my C.earCu1 friend accompany me on
a canvass of the students at present
enrolled and if he can find three who
are taking a High Scheol Course un-
der coinpulsion of the Adolescent Act
he may then show some slight basis
for his fear, Our ,,,91.esent magnifi-
cent attendance is due to merit—not
fear, and with foreeight and. vision
and the inaintainance of standards
of efficiency we will not be beholden
any compuslory statute.—nor in
dread of its abolition.
But what about the value of a
if.tit School in terms of money? We
have a staff of six teachers, five of
whom are unmarried. If we place
the amount these five leave in town
by board and in other ways at the
low esthriate of 500$each we have
the sum of $2,5 0 0. The Principal
pats in circulation another $2,5 0 O.
-Vlore are 141 outside scholars at
least 130 of whom pay board in town
for some 40 weeks which adds anoth-
er $1 8 2 0 0. If I make an estimate that
the High School students and their
parents who follow their children
here to do their trading are worth
50 more per week to the -business
houses of Exeter or another $1 8,2 0 0,
I know 1 will not be charged by the
?merchants with exaggeration. At the
snodest ealculations the High School
helps to put in circulation over $40,-
0 0 0 per year. And this is without
counting anything for the children
of Exeter whose maintenance at
home instead of elsewhere is of addj;
ed value to the merchantile life of
the town. r AS I 'remarked in a pre-
vious article. I want to see more of
-the farmers and 'their sons and
daughters make Exeter their educa-
tional centre. If we can make pro-
vision for 50 additional students I
figure on the sanfe basis that we, are
adding $1 5,0 0 0 yearly to the money
in circulation in this niunicipalitY.
I have already shown by our own
tax rates that larger numbers mean
reduced eost and therefore reduced
taxes owing, to th,e Country scholars
being paid or by the adjacent coiin-
