It may be our Bourd of Trustees feel they are committed to the build- ing program precisely as outlined in the by-law, that Is In respect to the number and type of elementary schools to'be erected and which are specifically mentioned therein, or, it may be they are legally bound there- to. If so, we think it rather a pity be- cause if we can erect tlese and thore besides through a system of grants in aid, with the same capital outlay, it seémS foolish not to streten the dol. lars. We also consider the practice of paying pupils to do the ordinary daily janitor work should be immedi- ately discontinued. This work, if fairly divided. should work no hard- ship upon the puplis, in fact, we be- lieve it should be the primary step in the “Home Economics Course.” Furthermore, we know many parents who do not wish their chilren to grow up with the idea they must receive a monetary reward for every little ef. jtort. Let's be done with this type of isilly pampering. si The old tnree person school boards which were done away with ware fore the victims of the system under Which they had to operate than of their own incompetence as many edu- cationists infer. The consolidated boards seem beset with similar trou- bles. With all their shortcomings the | smaller units inspired a keen local | [interest in the schools; a most essen- tial interest; deplorably lacking to-| day, and which no amount of pro- fligate spending can revive. W hout in any way reflecting upon the sin- cerity or ability of the individuals we venture to suggest the consolidat- ed boards just do not have the time to adequately operate a widely scat- tered system of schools. In the in- terests of economy and efficiency a return to some form of loca¥ control of the elementary schools seems de- sirable. The Board of Trustees at the main commercial centre could be| charged with the responsibility of carrying out a programme of se nd- ary education.
