The schoolhuuse question continues to he the principal theme for local dis cussion. Anil Unit is well, for at the p-osent time there is no more important Issue hefoie the people of this oily and listrict than this school problem. All's well that ends well, and we hope and trust that this may lie settled in ninitii nor that will prove to be the best for all time to come. Our present facilities are inadequate for our present demands, to say nothing' of the loss of public .spirit and public pride. Many plans are being urged in solution of the problem. The board is praised or condemned according to the viewpoint of the interested party. Hut let us examine carefully our present position. In the first place, a petition was eir diluted asking for S-VOOO bonds to be otcd for the purpose of buying a site, erecting a building in the south ward and installing a heating plant in the north ward. This proposition was sub mitted to the voters and carried by more than three to one. Unquestionably, every voter under stood that a 820,000 building was too large merely for the use of the pupils of the south ward, and it was equally well undeistood at that time that the 3iiu. lniililSiifr ivnu tn hi nmwl in .mni. mammr to r..H..v M.P .n.n..Mn.i in t.l... northward. Should the building be vroetod, but two courses of action were open either to make the new building grade school or else to continue the ward system, and use the upper lloor for the high school. Wo have before stated that we frvored the grade plan, because it would give us greater teach ing etllciency at a less cost and be bet ter for the children. Kadi teacher would have only one grade instead of two, childrcd of the same age would be associated togethe, backward scholars could receive individual attention, the teacher could be a specialist, etc. On the other hand, those who favored the high school being placed in the colds, croup and whooping cough. It new building argued that the smaller is guaranteed to give satisfaction or I'hihlreu should have an opportunity to money refunded.

We imagine and steered clear of duplicating the that it will compare favorably with the same line of breeding each year.
