HIGH SCHOOL
AREA CONSIDERED
A meeting of ratepayers and COM-
ensof Seaforth, McKillop, Tucker -
smith and Hcilett, was held in the -
Town Hall, Seaforth, on Tuesday,
March 10th, at: 3 p.m. The meeting
was called by the Educational Com-
mittee of Huron County' Council
named at the January session; to
make a survey of High School Areas.
Mr, M. A. Reid, who had been ap-
pointed chairman, called on Warden
R. E. Shaddiok of Hensall to intro-
duce the special speaker, Mr. G. L.
Duffin, of the Department of Educa-
tion, Toronto, Mr. Duffin stressed the
necessity of formation of High School
Areas, which would give to the rural
areas, schools of greater attendance
and which would permit these schools
to cover all phases of education,
especially sues subjects as manual
training, home economics, advanced
agricultural 'courses, as well as com-
plete commercial course.
These school areas would be cov-
ered by bus service and pupils would
be able to receive a complete second-
ary education and continue to live at
home. Under the present system, the
Percentage of pupils going on to com-
plete an academic career is very
small, whereas the schools which
could offer a course valuable to rural
pupils would retain many pupils at
school until a graduation certificate
could be granted in these practical
subjeots. The speaker pointed out that
the Ridgetown Agricultural School
had graduates to the number of 1500
on farms in Kent County since the
inception of its agricultural course,
which was instituted about 1983.
Mr. J. H. Kinkead, Public School
Inspector for North Huron, explained
a, possible outline of the Seaforth
Schoel Area with an estimated cost
to the municipalities and which would
be considerably lower than now is
being paid..
Mr. E. L. Fox, Principal of the
Seaforth High School, spoke briefly
on the present facilities of the school.
They can accommodate 250 pupils and
the courses include home economics,
manual training, with sufficient ac-
commodation for an advanced agri-
cultural and commercial course, for
which permission has been granted to
start Sept. 1st. In fact, the equipment
has all been ordered. He further
stressed the facilities of the School,
which are modern and very superior
to any which could be offered by a
small school.
Other speakers included Mr. R. O.
Staples, Public School Inspector • for
South Huron, Reeve Dorrance of Mc-
Killop, Reeve Nicholson of Tucker:.
smith, Reeve Armstrong of Hullett,
and Mr. C. M. Smith, Chairman of the
Seaforth High School. -
After the general discussion, which
was entered into by many present, it
was moved by Mr. Kinkead and
seconded by Mr. S. M. Eckert, that
Mr. Duffin be tendered a hearty vote
of thanks for coming to the meeting
and presenting the views of the de-
partment in such 0. concise and effic-
ient manner.
Before the meeting adjourned, Mr.
Kinkead asked the various municipal
councils to consider the proposal, so
that a decision could be presented to
the county council at its June session.

may begin to wonder if there is not

And for those who like to be con-

who take shelter under the Christ-

much about it: This is the time to
realize that their old habits of life

themselves or anyone else, and the
world so far is no better- off be-
cause they are in it. These are the
habits of careless, selfish indiffer-

DUBLIN
Thieves who smashed a rear win-
dow of the Stapleton feed store at
Dublin early Saturday, escaped with
550 in cash—all small denomination
bills, and took with them a small iron
box containing cheques, notes and
insurance papers, valueless to them
but of considerable value to the
owner, William Stapleton. The money
was in an unlocked safe. It is believed
the same thieves smashed a gasoline
pump at Joseph Dill's general store in
Dublin and stole a few gallons of
gasoline for their car. Residents who
heard the gasoline pump glass splin-
tering are believed to have fairly
closely set the time of the feed store
robbery. The thieves had ransacked
Mr. Stapleton's truck, standing out-
side
utside the door. and there were evid-
ences that they had tried to start it.
The ignition key to the truck was Ina
