u! Yor Article 10. TOWNSHIP SCHOOL BOARD, Gwillimbury East, 1842 The most outstanding reform advocated today in conâ€" nection with our Public Schools is the formation of town- ship trustee boards. This is not a new idea for we find that by the Education Act of 1841 Township Trustee Boards were authorized. Mr. H. D. Ramsden, a \former Reeve of East Gwillim- bury, has shown us an old minute book in which is recorded the meeting of‘ the first Township Trustee Board or Com- mon School Commissioners in East Gwillimbury. We have copied the minutes without change or correc- tion for they contain several phrases that to-day sound strange and archaic. In 1842 the trustees not only managed the school busi- ness of the township but they also issued teaching permits and were the board of inspectors. Their report for 1842 to the District Council (Home District) which follows the minutes of 1842 summarizes for us the status of public schools in East Gwillimbury in 1842.

Harry Sifton the Liberal candidate is in the midst of a campaign which is a credit to himself and his thrkers. Mr. Sifton is content to have the elec- tion decided on the issues and is not resorting to personalities or rash promises. “I voted for Herb last time but nev- er‘again.” How many times hae you heard it? You don’t need to hear it many times in each sub-division to figure out the result of the election in North York. “Hands of? the People’s Railway.’ It is not safe in the hands of Pflten- aude, Black and Meighen How much time did T. H. Leunox devote to his duties as representative of North .York in the last house? Is that the kind of representation that this historic constituency deserves? The conservétive candidate is hold- ing a lot of meetings and doing a lot of talking about the last session of parliament. Ask him‘ what he did either for the good of the riding he was supposed to represent or the country at large. We are informed The first council of the Township of York had many un- usual duties. It was many a day since a new township had been formed in the County of York. Among these duties was the selecting of a design for a corporate seal. The design selected is a composite, the suggestions of several being combined in one drawing. that he was not even a mem notorious board‘ bf,Ҥtrategy The Tory campaign‘ is growing worse and worse. It started with Doucet and Nichollson. The fight is by no means over, and already it has degenerated into worse depths. The charge now is that the Liberals are permitting the flooding of this coun- try with diseased and infected prison made clothing, smuggled in from the United States. In threeâ€"quarter page advertisements from one end of the country to the other this flood of crimson felsehood has been let loose. It is the \‘llest lie so far turned out in~tliis campaign. Even the tales of secret diaries and Bacchanalian ex- The seal of the corporation of North York, the design of which appears here, was approved by the council on the 16th day of, July, 192 . The words Progress and Economy surround an ornamental shield on which are emblazoned the Canadian Beaver, a full wheat sheaf and scales. _ The native beaver (Castor Canadensis is a fitting emb- lem of an industrious people;'the Wheat denoting the pros- perity of the people and the fertility' of the land. The scales are indicative of justice and square dealing. hibit o 'ert (CAMPAEGN SIM‘MERINGS at nenta ,perate 'I Article 11.

The following is from the “Hudson Heralds” the local newspaper of North Toronto. Probably the interesting scrap of the last Dominion campaign I was the one in North York, where Herb Lennox got the edge on ‘Prem- ier King to the‘ extent of almost 500 It was one of the most hecâ€" most ivotes. tic campaigns ever staged, and Mr. Barnum. is said to have paled into inâ€" when his productions 1' l significance were compared with the campaign that Herb. put on; but there is a whispering through the north that he somewhat strained lhis promises on that occassion, and that it is not de- livering such satisfactory goods this time. When Harry ifton, son of Clifford, of Laurier government fame was seized upon as a candidate by the Grits a couple of weeks ago there was little excitementhand it was felt that Herb was going to have. two pic- nics this year instead of one. But Harry has been taking the job ser- iously. He moved right into the rid- ing, took off his surplus clothing, rolled. up his sleeves, and started a / campaign. He has not made a/great deal of noise, but there are rumors that he is getting results. He made his first move publicly on Saturday, when he published a letter he had written to Mr. Lennox, suggesting that all the meetings held in the rid- ing, save a couple by each party, at which the right of way could be giv- en to the big guns, be joint affair , the speakers be confined to the two candidates, each speaking first in turn, and the first to speak on each occassion to have the right to reply. He suggested that this idea would not only give the free and independent :1 Iline on the platform of both parties but would give them a chance to size up both candidates. The uninitiated would have thought that Mr. Lennox, with his years of experience, opposerl by a new-comer in the political arena. would have welcomed the chance to sho\" the greenhorn up. “(Draume (J4 8‘ h is as attraction tr) use him "an added draw crowds to hear himself, he has declined to play in the Grit yard. l But not so. ‘ Alleging that Mr. Sifton is trying to 1 1 hispe not be Ierb could and.‘ You n pmv Oneâ€"l‘wo fiurner ferlecuuu Uu mu Egg. $23.00â€"Sa1e $17.50 Twoâ€"No. 525, Perfection Oil Heate Reg. 89.00â€"Sa1e $6.75 â€" Linoleum Bath Mats 18 in. x 36 in. . . . . . . . . 20 cents eac ' m", TH4ߣ41T§¢zi$ 3 v ‘ '1."
