Editor, : The first reaction to a drop in the cost of operating schools in Terrace is bound to be one of jubilation. However, perhaps a second look at both the local situation and the legislation which brings this reduction about would be worth-while. Perhaps the first question which comes to mind is that if school operating costs have drop- ped by 4 mills, why can we not expect 42 mills worth of increase in the quality of education of- fered in Terrace, withoutfurther impositions upon the local tax- Letters toe Editor Although there are many im- plications of the new legislation yet to be discovered, it is very evident that Terrace is one of the districts to benefit finan- cially, 1 believe that our Board is to be congratulated upon the active part which they have play- ed.in persuading the Provincial Government to consider some method of equalizing the educa= tion tax burden, However, while gratefully accepting relief inTer- race this year, we must be aware of the overall and future effect of this legislation, Both theB.c. Teachers’ Federation and the payer? Qur municipal council feels justified in commending the School Board for keeping costs below the provincial average, Surely none of us believe that we ever get more than we pay for, We are only too aware that any purchase we make in Terrace requires a higher cost than in most districts inthe Province, Of course this also applies to other municipal costs and possibly the Council is justified in appropria- ting this 4 mill saving for other much needed facilities. However, let us not be misled into think. ing that there are barpains to be had in education, If we are to provide our.children with educa= ‘opportunities equal:to those offered’ children in otherareas, we must be prepared to pay the price, The cost of education is high but it is our best and saf- Provincial Parent-Teachers or ganization have taken a public stand against the Bill, They be lieve the legislation to be de- trimental and restrictive, They interpret the BUl as a move to cut the overall cost of educa- tion. This interpretation seems to have some validity in the light future will make greater demands upon our Youth than ever before, Kk is our duty and in our in terest to see that they are ade- quately prepared.
