Smith, senior prinncipal,, of high schools in Toronto` and for thirty-five years principal of Park - dale Collegiate. Mr. Smith is a Me- ltillop boy, being born on the 9th concession of McKillop seventy years ago, a son of the late Samuel Smith, of Seaforth; and brother of Messrs. James and Samuel Smith, of McKillop, He received his; early edu- cation in S.S. No. 6, McKillop, later attending Clinton high' school and Toronto University, taking his •B,A, degree. He taught in Galt before go- ing to Parkdale Collegiate. Follow- ing is the item from Thursday's paper: PtImportant business transacted by the School Management Committee yesterday included approval of the policy of abolishing the .position of senior principal of high schools and of applying to the Department of Education for permission to appoint an inspector of high schools; +the passing of a resolution Moved by Trustee W. R. Flett, thatall in- formation regarding any teachers who are affected by the age -limit rule, including their grading in teach- ing, shall be treated as con- fidential matter and not be shown to anyone, even the trustees, until the 'cases of such teachers actually come 'before the Management Com- mittee for consideration; the receiv- ing and approving of the report of a special committee of the School Board, which at a meeting earlier in the afternoon approved having Fifth Form classes taken out of the public schools and placing all pupils desiring commercial instruction in classes to be under the direction of the Advisory Commercial Board; and the endorsing of the new policy of having public school .pupils over 13 years of age, who so desire, trans- fer to the •technical schools to take technical instruction. Trustee Win, C. McBricn, chairman of the Board, suggested there was no one so suit- able for the position of high school inspector as G A. Smith, senior principal of Parkdale Collegiate. Principal Smith, 'however, said al- though appreciating the compliment of his name ;being suggested for the new position, he did not fell equal to accepting a position involving such arduous work; in fact,his intention was to retire at the end of the next school year (in June, .1926) or pos- si'bly'sooner, and he had almost felt like dropping the work of senior principal of high schools.", YOUNG PEOPLE'S LEAGUE.
